Recently, I had the "gr8 opportunity" to watch the much awaited "tashan"... and boy...it was something i will never forget...but all for the wrong reasons. for starters, it was the first ever movie i walked out of. too much chaos, too much happening, i was so confused that I couldn?t sit in the theatre any longer, and finally decided to just come out!!
I don?t know what the Yash Raj films were thinking nor what Mr. Vijay Krishna Acharya was doing while he made the movie...i mean ..was he sleeping??!!
The movie was about an English loving Bhaiyaa ji (Anil Kapoor) who was a gangster and had a whole lot of stolen money. Then comes jimmy (saif ali khan),a call center executive who comes to teach bhaiyya ji English, and in the course ends up falling in love with Puja(Kareena Kapoor), bhaiyya ji's sidekick. Puja uses Jimmy to steal Bhaiiya ji's 25 crores, and runs away. Obviously Bhaiyya ji wants his money back, and also along the way wants to kill Puja and Jimmy. That is when Bachan Pande (Akshay Kumar) steps into the picture, and helps trace Puja and Jimmy to get Bhayya ji?s money.
The movie in the first half seems to be quite ?ok? and watchable. Songs are good. The cinematography blows you away and it seems as if each shot took lakhs of money. There are a few twists and turns which bring about some excitement.
But then, after the interval, the story goes way of course. The director lost control of the entire story and makes you lose interest in the movie. The story just goes on and on, with many irreverent scenes and ?sentiments?.
Many have said that it was because of Akshay Kumar, that this movie has worked, but if you ask me, he was just as disappointing as everyone else. Anil Kapoor and his English was total stupidity, and drives you crazzzyy because you cant understand a workd he says. Saif was just a side-a-along character, and god knows why he opted for this role.
The one thing which I did like about the movie was Kareena, besides the fact that she looked gorgeous, her role was very well played as well.
Basically, Tashan tries way toooo hard to add some ?isshtyle? ..in the end you get nothing but pity on yourself for ever walking into the cinema hall.
