Sachin Chatte's Film Reviews
-
The fault is not so much with the director Rohit Shetty as it is with the writer Yunus Sajawal. If you see Sajawal saab’s filmography, it will boggle your mind – Rascals, Do Knot Disturb, Tom, Dick, Harry, God Tussi Great ho and many other travesties are credited to him.
-
There are films that are enjoyable while you watch them but later maybe you might find some ‘plot’ holes. But a film like this one is harder to digest than an half cooked tandoori chicken.
-
There are some laughs but they are few and far between. Juggling between comedy, romance and drama is never too easy as you discover this the hard way while watching the film.
-
The story of two people, who are already engaged to their respective partners, falling in love has been done several times before, but yet director Sahil Sangha’s Love Breakups Zindagi has just enough spark not to be dismissed entirely.
-
There are innumerable silly and insensitive gags including some about blind people and hungry Somalian children. And even though the film is just over two hours, rarely do you see a film that tries to stretch so hard because the plot is non-existent.
-
As a director and producer, Anurag Kashyap has carved a niche for himself as someone whose projects are always something to look forward to. Black Friday, Dev D, Gulaal are all in a league of their own. Now, the bad news is that his latest offering That Girl in Yellow Boots is not quite in the same club, but the good news is, it is still streets ahead from the usual weekly fare.
-
When it comes to a Salman Khan movie, reviews or opinions hardly matter. There are die hard fans who would even watch a three hour film if Salman were to stare at the cracks in a ceiling all the while. So, once again we have Salman’s shirt coming off (this time water gushing from pipe which unbuttons his shirt) displaying his biceps, abs and a well shaved chest, before he can beat the bad guys to pulp.
-
Nana Patekar has been there, done that but it is still fun to watch him with his dead pan expressions. The director has shown a bit of flair for telling these kinds of stories but you wish he would have done it with a bit more panache.

The handheld camera shots, famously used in the likes of ‘Blair Witch Project’ and ‘Paranormal Activity’ are effectively used here as well, courtesy Tribhuvan Babu, the cameraman. The two relatively unknown actors Kainaz Motivala and Rajkumar Yadav have stitched up a pretty decent performance. In sum, this abnormal activity is decent enough for a few scares.
