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.

It's not Boom, It's not Umrao Jaan, it's not Salaam-E-Ishq, it's not Jhoom Barabar Jhoom but it's TASHAN which is a challange to watch twice (or after it's reviews). TASHAN in apni Mumbaiya language bole to 'kuch karne ko maangta'. I feel the director had a TASHAN to create something different, something super natural without a supernatural affect, something never attempted in Bollywood ishtyle movies, something which we see a few times in South Indian movies, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE SHOULD CREATE TORTURE FOR PEOPLE.
TASHAN is a classic example of movie making which shows the art of fiction & nonsense combined togeather in a most simplistic way without the need of masked super characters. On Comparision with Spiderman/matrix kinda movies, this movie reflects the story line in desi way: Bachchan Pandey is a superhero in film and Chamiya (Kareena) plays a modern confident thief who just need a chance to expose. Jimmy (Saif) plays a role like in many movie, the superhero's friend and Bhhaiyaji is on the dark side of movie who creates Bachchan Pandey in the movie. At end Bachchan pandey & company kills Bhhaiyaji. The best part for discussion is the way the super drama was highlighted. Great action, great chemistry, great vulgar dialouges, great exposure, everything about the movie is different and out of the world. Though a superhero flick, the director didn't removed desi touch. The heros were unmasked but still had super power who can jump like spiderman, run faster than bullet like NEO and like many typical desi heros, can fight with 100 people individually and can kill anyone. A true diversified style movie.
From WAQT(1965), to DEEWAR(1975), to TRISHUL(1977), to DDLJ(1996), to DTPH(1999), etc., YASHRAJ attempted different kinda scripts and projects and now comes JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM and TASHAN the master pieces with Heights and ways of movie making. Their intention to make movies for those bunch of people (like me) who goes to Rs 35 theatre with big group, comment, laugh, tease, some bakchodi etc to enjoy and make some fun was successful and i must term it as a sincere effort. MULTIPLEX crowd,guys with their GF's, please stay away from the movie and light hearted should never attempt to watch it. Still there will be lot of uses of this movie like a guy can use this flick to propose his GF by sayin "JAANU, MORE THAN CHAND TAARE, I CAN WATCH TASHAN FOR YOU" or by the LAW Department for a Third Degree torture or by people who travel on flights and find it difficult to sleep or whatever possible way.
Output of Movie: Complete DABBA, time waste, nonsense, C class, sense less, wierd, silly fights, vulgar, most creative director in India found, and Gaaliyaan from crowd.
I wonder how the movie would have went if it were to be made by directors from different banners like:
The KARAN Johar style:
1. Chamiya(Kareena) married to Bhhaiyaji(Anil Kapoor) and would have called her husband as "Bhhaiyaji", confused and unhappy with her marriage
2. Bhhaiyaji wants to learn English to flirt with some gori. He kidnaps Jimmy.
3. Jimmy works and owns a call center headed by his dad DUDE (played by Ammitabh Bachchan) who is a big flirty (ala Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna) and Jimmy has plans to grow the call center with only female employees for his dad
4. Chamiya meets Jimmy(Saif Ali Khan) and feels she is in love with JIMMY. Next Chamiya leaves with Jimmy with some money from bhhaiyaji with the support of Dude
5. They Dance, they party they sing along with DUDE in center of them (Dance With me Party with Me kinda song with friendly appearences from SRK and Kajol). Next morning Jimmy finds himself alone
6. Bhhaiyaji hires Superhero(Akshay Kumar) to find Jimmy. Superhero catches Jimmy, Chamiya and Dude in some desert in Rajasthan. Chamiya exposes in bikini, gives some gyaan on BRA (that was wird part in movie) and some nonsense.
7. They travel through New york, flirting, fighting smiling, singing doing wierd things to extend the length of movie. Twist occurs and Jimmy and Bachchan Pandey realises that they are in love (YO MAN, it's a KARAN JOHAR movie, u shouldn't forget it, anything can happen).
8. Bhhaiyaji and DUDE arrives togeather at scene. Chamiya cries with emotion and reveals she is in love to Bhhaiyaji but still she is a BHARATIYANAARI. Her love is DUDE. Jimmy and Bachchan play emotional with some lecture to Bhhaiyaji and some from Dude.
9. Dude goes to Chamiya, catches her hand and tries to takes her to the car. SLOW MOTION scene. Chamiya sees that Bhhaiyaji is taking her to DUDE and smiles. Everyone rejoice and Bhhaiyaji hand over her hand to Dude.
10. Party Sharty with film ending with a line "Love Speaks BLAH BLAH...."
Output of movie: Less nonsense, full of Emotions, no fight scenes, some wierd stuff, Promotion of Western culture, lot of discussions on Koffee with Karan.
The SANJAY BANSALI Style:
1. Chamiya is a blind girl who is married to illitrate Bhhaiyaji, both with a will to learn english.
2. Bhhaiyaji hires Jimmy(Salman Khan) to make them learn English.
3. Jimmy falls in love with Chamiya but escapes from Bhhaiyaji's fear to Italy.
4. Chamiya tries to learn English with much hard work and expresses her interest to bhhaiyaji that she in love with Jimmy.Bhhaiyaji realizes and He hires Bachchan Pandey to lookout for Jimmy and take Chamiya to her.
5. Bachchan Pandey travels to Italy and searches for Jimmy. He realizes that he falls in love with Chamiya as chamiya comes out to be her lost friend.
6. Bachchan Pandey now meets Jimmy accidentally and realize that Jimmy is the one. He decides to take Chamiya to Jimmy. Chamiya is confused.
7. Chamiya impresses Jimmy by speaking in English finally and Jimmy is extremely happy.
8. Chamiya realizes that even she is in love with Bachchan Pandey and leaves Jimmy for Bachchan Pandey.
Output of Movie: Very Less Nonsense, emotions, less fight scenes, no exposure, and good performances and awards.
Guys, Above was the effect of TASHAN on a strong minded person like me and can even effect you badly. Avoid it. Still if you wanna go for an adventure, watch it only in group may be on DVD or in a local theater. This movie will definitely make you realise the importance of money and time.
(Guys, sorry for some error and misspells, and thanks for your time. The intention was to give review with some humor, and not to hurt any person specifically. Again the review might have gone weird after all it's TASHAN's review. Cheers, Verma) |

Tashan means Issshtyle , that’s what Bhaiyyaji says & Ishtyle it has got a lot of . yashraj’s new stylish venture has opened to a barrage of criticism from just about everybody , so I went to see the movie I had no expectations . but I was taken slightly aback after watching the movie . it was not that bad a movie (not even coming close to the worst movie I had seen – aaag) . infact the first few reels are quite interesting & so is the idea starting from a call centre employee asked to teach a don Hinglish(the language of the goras or George Bush) to the guy being convicted of stealing his money the first few reels is superbly paced as well . but unfortunately Director Victor doesn’t know when to end it . He bring all kinds of Hindi film ‘Pharmoolas’ & that’s exactly where it goes wrong . the bachapan ke dost one or the Dharmender or Sunny doel kind of fight sequences take away from the neo presentation of the movie . Infact the presentation is exactly where Victor as a filmmaker has scored & gives u hope that he will make a better movie next time instead of just a good first half an hour . One of the few reasons that inspite of so much inclination of the director & writer using the ‘Pharmoola’ in the 2nd half , u still like it because it has one of the most brilliant & badly used actor of hindi cinema in Akshay Kumar . his dehati avatar in Bachan Pandey is superbly natural & spontaneous that u cant help but laugh with him . If u have the best u also have the worst in Anil Kapoor who is so bad that u pray to god that he dies in the movie quickly as u hardly understand what he is trying to speak in his so called hinglish. Saif is dependale as uaual & so is Kareena Aptly cast as the female fatal trying to seduce just about everyone . Only if Director Victor had not stretched the 2nd half as the film was already hanging on a thin rope of not having a screenplay but just an idea & some interesting characters ( infact that’s where Dhoom Scored as it did not have too many supplots & had a coherent story idea to follow) & not use the dated 70s ‘Pharmoolas’ . the Film might just have been a better entertainer but it ends up bein g a confused Khichdi of 70s & new cinema . The film is captured beautifully & Editing is Slick . Songs could have been avoided or kept to a minimal as it hinders the film apart from a couple especially the Kareena no in her bikini Finally Tashan has cool Isshtyle & bad Pharmoolas that end up making a bad taste for the audience , but it is still not the worst movie ever |

Hi All, I got a very good mail (Review about Tashan), which I wanna share with you all. In fond memory of TASHAN
1) Whenever Saif and Kareena want to be alone , they go to watch TASHAN.
2) TASHAN leaves black ticket sellers jobless.
3) TASHAN makes JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM look like a classic
4) Do you know that TASHAN was initially named Three men and a Bebo !!!!!!
5) Kareena's bikini upset because TASHAN flopped.
6) Kareena's bikini to win filmfare for best supporting role. J
7) 99 % of the people reading this have not watched TASHAN
8) TASHAN's box office collection and kareena's figure both are size 0 .
9) TASHAN flops Kajol and Ajay celebrate.
10) Even Ram Gopal Verma doesn't want to remake TASHAN
11) Yash Chopra went into hiding after the release of TASHAN
12) The best part of TASHAN was the intermission
13) TASHAN has no TASHAN
14) If you want to spent some quality time alone, go watch TASHAN.
15) You know what is the only thing good in TASHAN that gives it an edge over DHOOM 1 & DHOOM 2 , it doesn't have UDAY CHOPRA in it .
16) Saif , Kareena , Anil and Akshay are still trying to figure out , what is TASHAN actually about !!!!!
17) Kareena's bikini to play a lead role in Aditya Chopra' next venture.
18) Stand up comedians refuse to crack jokes on TASHAN , helloooooooooo , you cannot make jokes on a joke.
19) Sanjay Leela Bhansali to remake Sawariya after watching TASHAN
20) Now all you people reading this , observe a 2 min silence in fond memory of TASHAN !!!!!!!!! |

Naah!, gimme a break, I mean I thought that we had outgrown overdone overcooked action,
uhhh, the movie is the Indian Matrix, but we are complaining. The story itself is something
about Kareena stealing 25 Crores and running. Its not that kinda movie I expected for anticipation was great, i wanted some real stuff, but there was only Tashan, and no substance. If you wanna watch the movie, do so for Akshay and Anil, they steal the whole show with their acting, Akshay riding on peak form. Kareena is one dumb babe!(not so dumb too) and Saif is OK (handlebar looks good though), the director is really interested in some Tashan, but the movie could have been better without some.
Songs are awesome, so that you'll have some exciting moments, uhh, excuse me, don't watch it it if you are decent.
