Force 2
6/10

Force 22016

The sequel 'Force 2' is primarily about the RAW, about heartily saluting our bold, daring and brave RAW soldiers who die for their homeland and also when caught are not recognized by their own nation too. Having in lead John and Sonakshi, the film starts with a heroic entry of John Abraham (ACP Yashvardhan). So, a few RAW agents in China are killed and of the few one was Yashvardhan's best friend, he before dying informs Yash to help out all the other agents from just dying. Then Yash with KK (Sonakshi Sinha), who too is a special agent go to Budapest to save all the RAW agents. While in the investigation, the both get to know the killer and from then on the thief-police game starts between them and the main antagonist (Tahir Raj Bhasin). What will happen and will both be able to save the RAW agents who are alive or something else lies in the story. The duo John, Sonakshi are seen all through the film fighting and beating many. There is nothing groovy in their acts here excluding their appreciative action talent and their emulation. And watching Tahir on the screen keeps everyone engaged and just entirely mingled with the film. He is pleasing and really fantastic, with guilt less face he easily attains audience interests and also through his stellar act. Abhinay's direction is indeed a laborious one and the very interesting part of the film is the action itself, genuine, shot well and the story too. He has released the film on the right time. A few denials of the film one can spot is the music, mainly the recreated song – O Jaaniya, it bores. A bit common sense too doesn't find its way. And some scenes are also devoid of originality and completeness. The Final Words – This is a film that shows us the reality about RAW agents who get killed in many countries, since their identity gets revealed. They do not even get fame, reverent and dignity, not even they are praised after doing so much for the nation and neither their family is taken care of by the Government. They might remain anonymous for many. But for themselves, their families and for their nation they are truly the best Heroes. A big salute to all the RAW agents. It is good to watch the film rather than read about it here. So, I am going with 6 stars out of 10 stars.

Mirzya
4/10

Mirzya2016

The film has 2 parallel stories where in the former; the plot is archaic type, where we see Harshvardhan on a horse, riding, competing with someone to marry Saiyami. There are no dialogues but picturesque scenes speak well about the plot, the bow-arrow portion and the fire ball effects but one cannot get to know the story precisely and what does it relate to ending in the death of the hero. The latter portion is contemporary in its theme in which both Harshvardhan(Monish) and Saiyami(Suchitra) are good childhood friends. Both study in the same class but then Monish does a crime that sends him to a juvenile home wherein he escapes easily. And Suchitra goes abroad to study. After many years, Suchitra with her education is seen entering into matrimony with a prince in India. She then learns horse riding and Adil, who was actually Monish teaches her. Whether the lovers of yore unite is to be watched. The movie is full of irrelevant music and dance sequences that suddenly come up wherein women and men dance in different Rajasthani forms. And even the scenes from the past keep popping up in between which just bores the viewer and kind of infuriates them. Histrionic talents lie latent and unexplored in the film. Mirzya is a film that had many anticipations, it just fails to fulfil that and turns out to be an epic bore romantic drama. It is so dull that one can't even sit awake, till the intermission comes with full concentration. It is meant for fluid minds and you can see it if you like musical dramas. I am giving it 4 stars.

M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story
6/10

M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story2016

A film engaging, gripping and an enthralling venture about the Mega star M.S Dhoni's life's obstacles, endeavours, and luckily the obsessions. In Ranchi, a boy is born – Mahi, his nick name, in his teens, plays cricket. He single-mindedly tries to focus only on his game and thereupon slowly but steadily he progresses so much through his way that he creates mileposts, brings laurels, and is highly praised by each and every person. He then gets through his biggest achievement by winning the 2011 World Cup as the Indian Team's Captain. And the plot in the middle mainly describes about his struggles, hard work, ups and downs, love, and the winning. Dhoni's character has been played very well and precisely by Sushant, who does correspond to Dhoni's peculiar quality, skills, and attributes. Priyanka(Disha) and Sakshi(Kiran) are his love interests. Unfortunately, Priyanka dies and he marries Sakshi. Anupam plays Dhoni's father, who is always concerned about his son's future but later on he is happy to have Dhoni as his son. This is a film that teaches us how to go for your interests. Inside everyone there is a curiosity to do something prodigious. Not only a man like Dhoni can gain success but many can also. What's needed is the relentless mind and sincerity. Just make a go for something and see what happens. Overall, the film is an enjoyable theatrical obligation for all cricket fans and is a presentation that constantly inculcates laborious signs and exertions.

Pink
8/10

Pink2016

What's shown in 'Pink' is absolutely a replica of things rampant in society that are still a hidden entity. So, the plot begins with a threesome group of girls, who stay in an apartment in Delhi. Once, while enjoying in a Rock Show the trio meets 3 men, befriend them and go to have dinner in a resort at night. The plot is then indicative of something ominous in the lives of the 3 independent working women since one of them slams an alcoholic bottle on one of the men's face as a result of undignified behaviour, partially damaging his eyes. Then this matter ends up in the court where Deepak Sehgal (Amitabh), a famous lawyer opposes the prosecution party and rescues the girls from the desperate situation. The film also depicts the saga of traumatisation of these girls in the simmering surrounding. And what seems to work better is the screenplay, direction, the principal photography itself and above all the story and the great acts. Amitabh, Taapsee, and others are easily convincing and earnestly appealing. Shoojit Sircar is at his best apex as the director, and is already a sole contender of many awards. And the Art director Jivitesh Mazumdar happens to be the scintillating alumnus of the prestigious The Scindia School, Fort – Gwalior. His work is much appreciable. My last word for the film is that this is a film so authentic that one can't turn away from its righteous fable influencing impact. It showcases the exclusive law system in India and tries to blot out the disrespectful mentality towards women. So, one should always honour a woman since a woman in herself is so true a dignified title and an embodiment of solemn kind. I am going with a solid 8 on 10 stars.

Akira
7/10

Akira2016

Akira is really a delightful women centric film that not only impacts highly the essence of being a woman. But also in addition, highlights inherent women's power, warmth, and strength in an otherwise male dominated society. It starts from Jodhpur, where we see a young Akira maturing into a sensible youth¬. Once accidently to defend herself she throws acid on a criminal's face and this matter concludes in the young Akira's confinement for 3 years in a remand home. Later on she moves to Mumbai to pursue her graduation and the Hostel accommodation mistakenly entraps her in a very bizarre situation where she is traumatized, tortured and is psychologically and emotionally broken down into fragments. A sub-plot of the film involves an ACP (Anurag) and his 3 officers. They are wicked men who through their malevolence try to harm people. Once, while frolicking on the highway they witness a car accident in which they walk away with the dead driver's money leaving the victim unattended. So, one needs to discover the future spin of the story to appreciate the director's view-point and how Akira is involved in the plot. For many, Sonakshi as Akira is just lukewarm. One can easily be pleased by her subtle skills (especially the action) and her dramatically histrionical talent. Overall it appears convincing to see her impactful performance on women. Anurag is the main lead antagonist here whose perfectly compelling aggressive character and villainous performance is laudable again giving him tremendous success. And above all he showcases himself as a talented actor of contemporary times. Konkona is also a part of the film and she plays a pregnant lady cop who tries to lift up the curtain of the villains. Of the 3 main characters, though she might appear in fewer scenes, yet she walks away with maximum impact on the audience. Other actors do a fine job with mastered skills imbued in the script. And the man of honour, director Ar murugadoss shines through the film. One can imagine his laborious efforts and time to create such an intricate story with morality mixed in it. The screen play and the appropriate background score that is conducive to this theatrical thriller do satisfy the viewer. What goes slightly awry with the film is the marginal deviation from common intelligence that's all. On the whole it is a good watch and I urge everyone to please watch this film – A film par excellence. I rate it with 7 stars.

Mohenjo Daro
4/10

Mohenjo Daro2016

Mohenjodaro is one of the biggest Hrithik Roshan films of an archaic genre that is somewhat related to the Indus Valley Civilisation. But just forget completely history and come to romance and vindictiveness and entertainment which one will surely see after having watched this film. So the film is about a farmer Sarman(Hrithik), who goes to Mohenjodaro for selling his products. He there sees plutocracy, fights for it. But then is stopped. He decides to return. But he sees Chaani(Pooja), a devi's gift to Mohenjodaro who charmingly arouses his interest. He falls for her and decides to stays there only. And till the intermission their love story continues and keeps on inflaming one's anticipations and adrenaline both. Post the 1st half the film picks and from then on the viewer can with much ease engage himself since it is shown that Sarman is the Real prince of Mohenjodaro since his father was the King before but was killed by Mahim, the present ruler of Mohenjodaro and was falsely blamed to be a betrayer for the people. Sarman is then desirous for revenge and with a vengeance succeds. Hrithik and Pooja as Sarman and Chani respectively do fully recognize the worth of their characters and do justice to their roles. But somewhere terribly they impact marginally just tepid in their performances. The film is more annihilated due to its lengthy runtime cum romance and plot. Not a mandatory watch since it is poorly executed, sharply irritable and insatiates one. I'm going with 4 stars for this Mega Mediocrity.
