Review: Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Verdict: Great!
"K" Rating: 3.4
Watch: Theater

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (Zindagi...)is Fresh, Fun, Full of witty one-liners, has relate-able characters and situations which add to the "realism" of the film.Zoya Akhtar and Reema Katgi have breathed a fresh air to the age old "sseize the moment" philosophy via this movie.

It tells the story of three best friends on a bachelor trip across Spain, fulfilling a pact they had made long ago of each selecting an adventure sport and participating in it together. Friends on a journey of a lifetime with the stunning backdrop of Spain - find themselves and each other whilst letting go makes a rejuvenating watch. However on the downside, Zindagi.. misses out on the depth of characters as portrayed in its close relative Dil Chahta Hai. Nonetheless it has its own free spirited character, with the meandering pace of a road/travelogue movie. 

Farhan Akhtar,Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol - all are in full form, lighting the screen with their hot bodies, wit and on screen camaraderie. Katrina Kaif adds charm to her role but has little scope to perform.Kalki Koechlin befits her rule superbly and plays it to the hilt.Naseeruddin and Deepti Naval are a welcome delight onscreen.

Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have done it again by accentuating the film with noteworthy music. "Ik Junon" is a memorable track along with "Senorita" sung by all 3 protagonists. Farhan's poetry adds depth of thought and soul to this flick.

Business wise it will do well in multiplex screens. It caters to the educated youth of today with urban sensibilities.To truly experience and savor Zindagi... catch it while it is running in a theater near you!

Review: Bhuddah...Hoga Tera Baap

Verdict: Good!Fun!

"K" Rating: 3.5

Watch: Theater/DVD


Bhuddah...Hota Tera Baap, well certainly no one can say it as loud and clear as Mr. Amitabh Bachchan! In this film he is seen in top form - action, comedy, style, witty dialogues and oodles of attitude. As mentioned in the credits of the film, it is a tribute to Amitabh Bachchan from the 80's. The film revolves around him as he spoof's his own movies.

A Mumbai gangster Vijju (Big B) returns to the city from Paris on a secret mission. He has aged, but is in such top form that he can put the youngsters to shame. Thus this angry (old) man hates being called a "Bhuddah..". Add in a comic Villain (Prakash Raj) who is planting serial bombs and is out to kill the top cop ACP Karan (Sonu Sood) who has sworn to "clean up" the city. What follows next are punches, kicks, love, blasts, blows, bullets, awesome one liners and again love creating this funny action caper.Styling of Big B may catch you off guard as it is audaciously loud but it suits his character.

Vishal Shekhar's music accentuates the film very well, right from the title track to the medley tribute  Go Meera Go of Bachchan hit songs, to the soft soulful song Haal-e-Dil. Three songs out of the 4 are sung by Big B himself, it was nice to see him lipsync to Abhishek Bachchan in Go Meera Go. Raveena's item song "Chandigarh de star" is bit of a let down.

In a movie which has the towering presence of Amitabh, it takes a fine actor to hold their ground while sharing a screen space with the legend. Sonu Sood and Prakash Raj are such actors as they dazzle in their respective roles. Hema Malini suits her character. It was good to see Raveena back onscreen, but her role is half baked.

Grab your family and friends and head to the theater for this one. Whether you are a Bachchan fan or not, this is a fun watch if you love a good laugh Bollywood style.
