my rating would be 2.5*, more fit a case of skipping but if u dont have anything better to do u might as well catch up with it (thats what i did :-)... when the credits of a movie names nagesh kukunoor as its director and writer, expectations are higher... perhaps this is the thing which has gone against this movie... its a regular bollywood masala movie with 3-4 subplots in it, some crude sex jokes, some okayish jokes and some thai masala... bole to, kahani main emotion hai, drama hai, comedy hai, love story hai, suspense hai, thoda sa action bhi hai... perhaps u dont want that from nagesh... music is okayish, acting is okayish... the movie says, "same same but different" but its "shame shame no different" (shamelessly modified copy from a song in the movie :-)... overall, missing the midas touch of nagesh and the subtle sense of humor... |

Like the tag line of the movie this movie is same same (Hyderabad Blues, Bollywood Calling) but different (Dor, Iqbal) from Nagesh's previous work. Nagesh is one of the film makers I really admire, because he is daring, he is not afraid of experimenting, he knows what he is doing and he is one thinking film maker. Who else than Nagesh can come up with something like "Jeevan Dhara ka Jwalamukhi". With this movie Nagesh is back to what he has started his career with.
The movie is about a cook Shankar Singh, who steals money from gangster JAM-K AKA Jamal Khan and lands in Bangkok with a group of doctors. On his first night in Bangkok he meets one Thai massage girl Jasmine and feels the attraction towards her. The same girl is working as a volunteer in the medical camp by day, where Shankar has landed by the turn of fate. They don't understand each other but are attracted to each other and over the course of events they fall in love. There is another story of Eminem worshiping wannabe rapper gangster JAM-K, who lands in the same medical camp following Shankar and meets Dr Rati, a psychiatric just to realize that she is the love of his life he has been searching for so long. There are many funny incidents in between the story and in the end there is a twist, which is a bit weak, but who cares.
Nagesh has yet again chosen a different topic and has been successful to certain extent. I was really impressed by the actor who played JAM-K, he made us laugh most of the time he was on screen. Shreyas is a good actor and should keep on doing such films. Lina (Thai actress) is good in her part. In the supporting cast I liked Rash, the guy who was interpretor for the two lead actors. The idea is brilliant but the story could have been better and a little bit fast paced. There are some scenes, which should have been shot differently. Like the one, when Shreyas dances singing gas thi bhai gas thi.
Overall the movie is a decent light comedy and deserves at least one viewing. I would recommend it to everyone who liked Hyderabad Blues. Would rate this one as 6 out of 10. |

It is a movie with a warmth that envelopes you, the sprinkling of humour is even and leaves the audience with a smile all through the movie. The kuknoors' blue-eye-boy shreyas talpade is natural and completely ease with the character. The surprise gift is JAMK aka JAmaal Khan, son of tha Don whose money shreyas pick and run to bangkok with a team of doctors. The Jam is then dispatched to Bangkok to rrtrieve the money. The movie than is not-so-fast-paced in the chase of shreyas pursuing the Thai girl and and the rest of the money hidden in a box .And Jam pursuing shreyas and getting involve with a Doctor. Guys ,, watch the movie for the subtle and vibrant humour .. Jam is toooooooooooooo good. The dress, the jewellery, the overall persona of a rap singer cum gangster is brilliant. The movie could have done well with a tight plot and an editing, but phir bhi ,it is a kuknoors film and a trade mark of his films are that they are same same as the other movies but are differnt. P.s : The movie is for the classes, i guess, and will not appeal to the masses P.s : A sort of social issue ( that of flesh trade in thailand)has been raised . |
