Movie Review: Aagey Se Right

Movie setting : A bumbling police inspector is looking for his lost revolver. A terrorist has fallen in love. Chaos follows. That�s the three parts of the movie is all about?

Instead the movie is like a high-speed automobile without controls.

The story keeps taking random turns - not only Aagey Se Right - but left and centre too.

And sometimes, it almost drives itself over the cliff.

That's because director Indrajit Nattoji gets greedy with the gags � he wants one every second and only a few work -- without really caring about a neatly constructed plot.

Performance : Not too good for K K Menon and Shreyash Talpade and Mahi Gill are all fine actors.

Storyline : Freshly - recruited cop Dinkar Waghmare (Shreyas Talpade) would rather play marbles with the kids in his village than lose them chasing terrorist.

But life seems to have other plans for him. Time and again, he becomes an accidental hero.

And, the terrorist who has come by sea would rather blow up the Mumbai police headquarters than fall in love with a singer in the bar.

Ingredients: On the face of it, Aagey Se Right has all the ingredients, including a great cast, to be a side-splitting feast of laughter.

Movie Review: Sikandar

Theme of the Movie: Terrorism The movie narrates Kashmir tensions through children�s eyes.

It was set in the backdrop of Jammu and Kashmir, the film has Parzan Dastur and Ayesha Kapoor in lead roles along with R. Madhavan and Sanjay Suri.

Sikandar is not a children�s film despite having children as protagonists.

The movie basically reflects the situation of Kashmir seen through the eyes of children� It�s a film full of hope but told in a manner that is not preachy.

It is involving and intriguing and connects at an emotional level. The underlining theme is about fighting against the odds, living up to expectations and coming out with a clear conscience.

It just has two important characters as children but it�s for everyone. Just like Taare Zameen Par which had a child protagonist and still appealed to people of all ages, this film too will appeal to one and all.

Director: After making comedies like �Chalo America� & �The King of Bollywood�, director Piysush Jha returns with suspense - thriller �Sikandar�. The film is about the tensions in Kashmir.

Produced by Big Pictures & Sudhir Mishra, it has already garnered its share of positive reactions when it travelled to festivals like the Bollywood and Beyond Film Festival in Stuttgart, Germany, and the Los Angeles Indian film festival.

The film was delayed by the tussle between producers and distributors over revenue - sharing of forthcoming releases.

Storyline: It revolves around teenage boy Sikandar Raza (Parzan), who dreams of playing football at the national level, and his friend Nasreen (Ayesha). But things take an unexpected turn when he finds a gun on the road.
Sikandar�s parents were killed by militants when he was four years old. And now he lives with his foster parents and he is only concerned about their happiness and football.

One day, on his way back home from a school football match, he finds a gun lying on the road. Despite warnings from Nasreen, he picks up the gun and his life is never the same again after that � he enters into the darker side of his nature.

The quiet yet strong Nasreen becomes Sikandar�s conscience keeper and also tries her best to pull him out of the murky goings - on. But to her dismay Sikandar has sunk so deep that things go beyond his control.

Kudos: Ayesha Kapur, the young actress who made her debut with Black, wants to be a star, but without having to sing and dance around trees in masala movies or have her normal life taken over by the trappings of fame.

The 14-year-old who will return to the silver screen after a gap of 4 years in Piyush Jha's Sikandar said that acting is her passion, but she is scared that the attention that comes with it, might change her.

Three - Love Lies Betrayal: Movie Review

Director: Vishal Pandya
Cast: Ashish Chowdhry, Akshay Kapoor, Nausheen Ali Sardar

Anjini (Nausheen Ali Sardar) drives swanky Volkswagen, lives in a palatial mansion but still suffers from money crunch and makes a living out of teaching violin to kids. Furthermore she also volunteers to give free lessons to neighbourhood Indian offspring, as his mother showers desi compliments derived from Subhash Ghai’s Pardes (You can get a girl out of India, but you cannot get India out of a girl).

Anjini shares a strained relationship with her good-for-nothing husband Rajeev (Akshay Kapoor) who suggests selling off their castle. Finally they end up hiring just one paying guest though the house is big enough to be rented out for an entire secondary school, which could have put an end to all their money woes.

Sanjay (Ashish Chowdhry), who sings Hindi numbers (sounding suspiciously feminine) at the local Scotland pub, enters as the tenant. Anjini’s loveless marriage gets her close to Sanjay as they indulge in an illicit affair. Soon you sense that the film is adulterating into the adulterous anecdote of Murder (2004) (without any adult overtones) but post interval it pursues another Emraan Hashmi flick Aksar (2006). If you have seen either of the two or are accustomed to the Abbas-Mustan brand of triangular thrillers, it won’t take you long to comprehend the twist in the tale.

The pacing of the film might seem slow with just three characters central to the plot but the narrative comes to the point pretty soon. Vikram Bhatt’s script isn’t inventive or immaculate but refrains from being a pungent potboiler (like his earlier attempts) and has its moments in the latter half. There are inconsistencies in writing as the husband and wife fight over divorce in one scene and seem to have no issues in the subsequent. Or when Sanjay’s love abruptly switches from Anjini to her assets!

Pravin Bhatt’s cinematography is consistently composed in the fresh foreign locales. And couldn’t help pointing out but the background theme is suggestive of the verse ‘ Dil Tere Bin Kahi Lagta Nahi, Waqt Guzarta Nahi ’ from R D Burman’s popular love tune ‘ Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai ’ from Rocky .

This would be the first time that Ashish Chowdhry is not playing an out-and-out comic character (though there are some lighter shades to it). He doesn’t appear as menacing as his character demands but doesn’t disappoint either. Nausheen Ali Sardar comes up with a ‘fairly’ good and convincing performance. Akshay Kapoor is decent.

They say ‘Two’s company three’s a crowd’. Three – Love Lies Betrayal is crowded with too many derivations.

Movie Review: Yeh Mera India

'Yeh Mera India' highlights various problems of the Indian society. The movie has projected good values, which are in the veins of Indians but not relied upon by the society. The film is about the Indians and the hidden treasures inside them.

The good values which should be incorporated but we have forgotten them and this is the time when we should bring those good values out of us. We should take the advantage of these values as much as possible.

Cast:The film brings back the old memories of N Chandra films like 'Tezab', 'Ankush', 'Kagaar', 'Tejaswini', 'Narsimha' and 'Pratighaat'.

The movie stars of this movie are Anupam Kher, Atul Kulkarni, Seema Biswas, Milind Gunaji, Rajit Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav and Sarika among others.

Theme: Every night we go home and switch on the news channel, to find headlines full of violence, atrocities and we wonder how this world keeps moving in spite of so much of multi layered bias which is actually the root cause of all this.

It is an attempt to explore the real stories behind these headlines.



These stories deal with racial bias, communal bias, caste bias, class bias, gender bias, lingual bias & immigrant bias that plaque the today's society & the outcome is startling.

It is the human ability to redeem themselves at any given moment which reveals that behind every bad news there is good news.

Story line: It is a story of one day in the life of 12 people from different strata of Mumbai city which is a melting pot of cultures.

They all start the day with a goal in mind but surprisingly end up achieving exactly the opposite, giving it a feel of Greek tragedy of futile human efforts in front of the inevitable destiny.

However, in 'Yeh Mera India' it is more of a reversal of fortune from bad to good than from good to bad.

Chandra has managed to tackle a whole range of issues' from caste politics, terrorism, and underworld to changing moral of the society, compromised ideologies, frustrated Naxalites and the so-called Marathi-vs-North Indian issue.

And to his credit, he does it seamlessly, though here and there one sees a tendency to go back to his loud style.

Narration : 'Y.M.I' is the finest film of N. Chandra and everyone will vouch on that.

The film has a universal appeal and the narration was superb. The film has no masala - element in it and only hard-hitting reality.
