Martin D'Souza's Film Reviews
-
…is experimental cinema. While those involved seem to be having a gala time, the audience becomes the guinea pigs.
-
Theatre is a creative medium and converting thoughts meant for a play into a ‘moving picture’ require skills of another sort. The intention was to make a good film, but this never got translated into one.
-
If at all the movie is tolerable, even though it gets boring in the second half, it is thanks to Arshad Warsi’s comic timing.
Just as we have ‘keep your brains behind’ action/thriller flicks with super stars, this one too falls in that category, but with a difference.
At least, you don’t leave the theatre fuming!

If only the makers had to pay that much extra attention to the animation and execution like they did with the characters and their faces, this epic would have been quite different and would have gone down well with the kids.

R… RAJKUMAR is like a cocktail of bizarre dance moves with no synchronization of mind and body to the beats. The music is another horror. It pummels your senses and leaves you numb with disbelief. Such cacophony to pass as music is a cruel joke on an industry that once boasted of soulful music and poetic lyrics.
Shahid’s pet dialogue is ‘this: ‘Silent ho ja varna main violent ho jaunga.”
It should have been us telling him this! -
If you are a die-hard Sunny Deol fan, then this one is definitely for you. There’s plenty of action which only Sunny Deol can pull off in a realistic-stylish manner, as well as some heavy-duty dialogue baazi.
The narrative, however, stretches and the plot at most times is all too predictable. A few scenes keep going back to his past much too often and this dampens the pace of the action scenes. A smart use of the scissors on the editing table and SINGH SAAB THE GREAT would have been a little slicker film. -
…could be for those who want to see cinema in its art form, without much giving thought to content.
-
SOOPER SE OOPER is a decent comedy with lots of drama. The first 20 minutes establish the plot with the situation shifting from Mumbai to Rajasthan. It’s exciting. But director Shekhar Ghosh lingers on with the plot for more than required time, thus lengthening the movie. What should have ended inside an-hour-and-a-half stays over for 20 more minutes.
-
…the flaw in MICKEY VIRUS; the writing is plain juvenile. In the end, the writer feels the need of explaining each and every scene that preceded the climax. The audience too, is taken to be as daft.
-
CHOR CHOR SUPER CHOR has situations that have you laughing not at the comedy but at the ingenuity of the plot. This could have been one helluva movie. But like the robber, it gets trapped in its own doing.
A clever idea done in by some not-so-clever thinking.
