PRODUCER : UTV MOTION PICTURES

DIRECTOR: DIBAKAR BANARJEE

STAR CAST : ABHAY DEOL, PARESH RAWAL, NEETHU CHANDRA, ARCHANA POORAN SINGH

MUSIC: SNEHA KHANWALKER

 

Oye lucky lucky oye was critically acclaimed and BO success movie directed by talented Dibakar Banarejee. It’s a simple story told in very interesting way. Director used humor with satire perfectly.

The approach was very realistic; the star casts were chosen very precisely. Each one delivered top notch performance. Paresh rawal appeared in multiple roles. Abhay deol was cool. 

All the new comers delivered promising performances .The robbery scenes were interesting and looked very convincing unlike most of the similar movies of similar genre. 

Movie often goes to flashback and real time sequences. Towards climax there little dragging, still does not bore you much.

The camera work was excellent, so as the back ground score. Songs were peppy. Many old songs were used which were apt for the situation. 

It was perfect blend of technical department with the solid performance of actors. Director used the entire department well. He proved not much of masala needed to make an entertainment filled commercial cinema.

Verdict: grab your copy of DVD!!!

BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG (2013) HINDI MOVIE REVIEW

A MELODRAMATIC BIOGRAPHY !!!

Producer :ROMP productions

Director : Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra

Star cast : Farhan Akthar, Sonam Kapoor, prakash raj, Divya datta, yograj singh.

Rakesh om prakash mehra is one of the leading movie maker of bollywood recent era, since his Rang De Basanthi movie which grabbed attention of critics as well as the audience equally and fetched many awards. Following RDB he made delhi 6 with abhishek bachchan which did not run well at the BO. This time he choosen the biography of the legend qathlete of india milkha singh.

Hindi film industry seldom produces movie on sports persons, some of the movies based on sports gained much popularity like LAGAAN and CHAK DE INDIA, some other movies flopped though.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is realistic but at times it becomes melodramatic and some of elements of typical bollywood is forcefully added here and there. And movie’s run time is above 3 hrs. it’s a slow moving movie and narrative moves flashback  and present situations. 

Flashback of the younger milkhaa was good. Movie dragged in the middle portion (the love track). And the thrill factor at the climax was missing.

Full praise to farhaan, hard work can be seen and delivers his best performance in his career. Other suppoting cast did their part well. Sonam kapoor did not had much to do.

Cinematography was top notch, BGM was repetitive at times and it was apt. on the whole technically it was good.

Verdict : Watchable but not great as Milkha himself.

RAJA RANI (2013) TAMIL MOVIE REVIEW

NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A TIMEPASS !!!

Direction : Atlee Kumar
Producer : A R Murugadoss

Star Cast : arya, jai, santhaanam, nayantara, nazriya nazim, satyaraj etc

Music: G.V. Prakash

Rom-com movies are trend in tamil film industry and most of the movie makers are churning out lot of movies with very thin storyline with some repetitive comedy situations. Many movies like boss engira bhaskaran, siva manasukula sakti etc did a fair job at box office. The combination of hero with star comedian Santhaanam worked well in many instances. 

Raja rani takes the same root in first half. Being type casted as the same formula repeated. But the only bearable portion of the movie being the first half. Some of the comedy sequence of santhaanam with aarya, nayantaara with jai worked well. Nazriya did her part well. But it’s all we have seen many times over in other movies.

Movie drags in second half and becomes unbearable nearing climax.

Technically movie is well shot. BGM was ok-ok. Songs are not catchy and you will forget once you leave the movie hall. Since it is the debut of the director we expect better movie in the future.

                                                                           

             RAJA RANI TRAILOR (HD)

Verdict: Don’t waste your money on this, watch in TV instead.
