There is geniune dearth of script writing talent in bollywood. Here we had a decent story but the screenplay was awful.Emotional scenes being fit anywhere but at the right places.It seemed the director was trying to do lot of things at thesame time, making people laugh and cry maybe making a statement too but sadly ended up delevering dead baby.

Most of the time you either yawn or cringe at the thought that the director expected you to laugh at his jokes.There are times when you pity yourself to be sitting there and undergoing the treatment being meeted out to you.the story if you can call it, is about three bachelors who believe only in one night stands ,and one fine day find a baby outside their door.It reaaly wouldn't be difficult to guess that they change their wayward ways for it, then the twist the baby's mothercomes looking for it. she is incidentally Vidya balan who was also a one night stand of akshay kumar.Now starts the events where our hero is trying to win over the heroine. YOu don't need to be a rocket scientist to guess whether he could do it or not.The climax is a big let down, well you couldn't expect much from a film which had so many loopholes to be plugged.

Silver linning is Vidya Balan 's acying and Boman Irani's too. Akhshay Kumar should check di script selection else he could loose his reputationof being the comic guy.Acting is generally average. Music isn't appealing. Infact before the interval or even after it you find the actors breaking into a song and dance at the drop of a hat, which is quite annoying.sajid Khan good luck for next time but please have a look at the script and the screenplay before attempting anything new next time.

Rahul Rawail has lost it for sure. how else could one explain such a disaster with such a fine base of resource at disposal. The adage that too many crooks spoil the broth is exemplified by this film.  Maybe the director handed over the reigns to some spot boy and himself left for a vacation.

Even trying to say something about the plot will be trying to make a fool of oneself. There is absolutely nothing in this movie to sit through it. even the actors will regret working in such a film. It must have been something very tempting that these people couldn't  resist such a disastarous project.

Please don't see this film. And I repeat please.

I don't know what was going through willard caroll's mind when he wrote the script  though he takes a dig at the kind of cinema made in india but the stuff that he has come up with is ridiculous. Now there is not even a trace of a plot here. If anything it is about the usual song and dance routine which the west loathes in our films and a sort of love trianglr or quadrangle for that matter developing. Nothing new,  everything about the movie gives a feel of stale news. Only the heroine changes here we have a hollywood actress trying her hand at indian movies.

Even an attempt to say something about the plotwould be a waste of words since there is nothing to write. A hollywood actress lands up in India in search of a role and no sooner than she lands she realizes that she is in touble. The movie which she was going to be part of is shelved as it's producers are jailed. She soon happens to met sallu miyan who incidentally is a choreogarpher and even befroe you can blink he falls in love head over heels with the firang babe. And then there is also the blue blood thing with  him, happens to be a prince, a rebellion against his father and what not.

Guess there were too many things in the director's mind or maybe his understanding of indian cinema is poor. He has taken the audiences granted, without even having the slightest of idea of how scathing the audience can be with their response.

As far as acting goes ther is not much to write about sallu  as usual is average stuff. Sometimes it makes me wonder whee is the salman of andaz apna apna or maine pyar kiya or for that matter hum aapke hain kaun. He is a good actor who should maybe careful wih the directors and the scripts he takes up. There is not too much to wrie about Ali Larter, she is just about average.

Music is not good. Cinematogarphy is good . If you have time to kill even then it wouldn't be a good idea to go for it. Have a look at your own risk.

Murphy's law of averages is exemplified classicaly with this week's bollywood releases.
On one hand you have chak de india and on other kaafila .
The only good thing about this movie is the intention i.e. to make a movie on illegal immigrants.
Everything else is in a complete mess. No clue of even a semblance of a plot, acting is dead, direction
or the lack of it is responsible for such a disaster.
The plot revolves around a group of people trying to infiltrate into England through Ukraine.
Every guy has a story and together it is such a khichdi that it drives you crazy and on top of it a
love angle added to the n stories of the group. Half an hour into the movie and you realise something
is seriously wrong either with you or the movie. It will take a lot of courage to sit through such a movie.
It this is kind of cinema which brings bad name to bollywood. Every now and then you find the characters
breaking into the regular song and dance routine.
Sunny Deol, you give him two guns and even an armed tanker woulnd'y make an impact on him. One fails to understand
why a guy like him who is capable of a Ghayal and a Damini resorts to such lowly stuff.
If at all you go for the movie, here is a statutory warning carry some headache pills,you would certainly need them.

Omkara, a contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello, set in western Uttar Pradesh, quenches
 a long felt thirst of the ‘hindi belt’ which has highly been neglected by the new age hindi filmmakers.
Although the movie is high on drama, utmost care has been taken to keep the film close to reality.
Barring slight deviation from the original, in the climax and in the characterization of Othello and
 Iago, the original play has been successfully conformed into the milieu of political warfare in Uttar Pradesh.
It draws inspiration from the typical upper caste Brahmin politics existing over the region.
   
Ajay Devgan as Omkara (Othello) alias Omi Shukla, the central character of the movie, has done
a good job. But, as the film progresses he looses variations and his expressions remain almost monotonous.
Also, the director has given extra footage to the character of Langda Tyagi (Iago) over Omkara. But, still
Ajay Devgan manages to impart gravity and sensitivity required in the character. Most importantly, unlike
 his other flicks, he is supported well by the other casts. Vivek Oberoi has also done justice to his role
 as the natural charmer, Keshav Upadhyay (Cassio) alias Kesu Phirangi. He fits well into the shoes of Kesu,
the philanderer who serves as the perfect prey for Langda Tyagi, played by Saif Ali Khan. The insouciant parts
of the movie are the scenes between Kesu and Billo Chamanbahar (Bianca), played by Bipasha Basu.
She is the weakest link in the whole episode. It requires a lot of patience to sit through the scenes of
 Billo whether it is the scenes with Kesu or the songs. The director should have looked for other options.
It would have been better if he could cut one of the songs picturised on her. She plays foul to the brilliant
 compositions and has tried too hard to transform them to typical item numbers. But, the earthy lyrics by
Gulzar in songs like Namak combined with the genius of Vishal Bharadwaj, prove to be a saving grace.

The drama unfolds swiftly and remains powerful in all aspects till the interval. But, in the second half,
 it slightly looses pace. There seems to be several cuts in the second half owing to a lot of confusion at
 the director’s end. This becomes evident as the director fails to portray the conspiracy of Langda Tyagi in
an effective manner. Even the trauma of Omkara is not captured properly. Though, the first half of the film
is filled with wonderful dialogues, the second half severely lacks that. The kind of drama that was expected
at the climax ceases to be there as the director chooses a quick and uncomplicated ending. But, in spite of
all these, the sound characterization and performances combined with wholesome effort by the crew, takes
the film to a graceful finish.

With Omkara, Konkona Sen Sharma seems to have confirmed her space in hindi films. In a short role as Indu (Emilia),
the outspoken wife of Langda Tyagi, she proves her worth in the film. Thanks to her superb dialogue delivery,
the character of Indu is so real that you will need to remind yourself that she is the same bengali actress who
 played Mithali in 15 Park Avenue. The good old Naseeruddin Shah as Bhaisaab (Duke of Venice) as the influential
 cog in the Brahmin politics of the region has once again proved his mantle as the undisputed numero uno in the character
 roles. The dark horse in the whole star cast is Kareena Kapoor. Going by the trends, the quality of performance
given by Kareena Kapoor was quite unexpected of her. She has worked hard to give life to the character of Dolly Mishra (Desdemona),
 the beloved of Omakara. Mostly, she has been successful in imparting innocence and puerility to the character.
 Although she looks pale in front of Konkana Sen Sharma, for probably the first time in her career
she gets noticed for her acting.

But, the real winner that emerges out of the whole order is certainly Saif Ali Khan. He has been phenomenal
in the tailor-made role of Langda Tyagi, the foul-mouthed, scruple-less gangster as the central catalyst
in the story. This film not only serves as an image makeover for him, but also as a milestone in his thirteen
year old film career. The highest level of detailing that could be possible is done with his character. Like his
 menacing stained teeth and the long painted little-finger nail defines the character profoundly. It is delight
to watch his perfectly synchronized actions lashed with rustic one liners. The scenes with his friend and fellow
grouch, Raju are quite amusing. Saif Ali Khan is one of the primary factors that drive the repeat value of the movie. 

Whether or not Omkara is a worthy adaptation of the Bard’s work is a question that should interest the literary critics.
 Other than that, Omkara is a satisfying movie for an avid moviegoer. A lot of passion and hardwork
has gone into the making of the movie and it shows.

Rating: 3.5/5.
  

 This one is very strong on the script. I must tell u one is reminded of great comedies like angoor, hera pheri, chalti ka naam gadi,munnabhai etc where the hero is the script. here there are no stars only characters and justice has been done to each character by actors par excellence. bollywood favours a kind of cinema written for stars where the stress is not on character. it is more to suit the status of the stars. but this is one movie where importance has been on development of characters .

the plot is about a group of friends who happen to fall in the elite class of society, there idea of fun is to humiliate some odd guy on their friday dinners. rajat kapoor playing a businessman comes across a perfect prey for his dinner meeting, vinay pathak. he is invited to the dinner and there after it is a ball for the viewers. as a lot of goof ups happen and it is more of rajat kapoor falling prey his guest to rather than vinay pathak to his host.

after a lot of time sarika is senn on screen in a small but effective role. here is one actress who should continue delighting viewers as she is a real treat to watch. now ranvir shorey again in a small role but leaves a mark as always. milind soman os also good. comin to the main artists vinay and rajat they are simply great. vinay pathak's comic timing is impeccable. he is one actor who one doesn't  get to watch often thanks to the kind of scripts benig written in bollywood. though his character is quite strong but he has done complete justice to it.

dialouge writer should be aplauded for his excellent effort,screenpaly too is very good. it is been a long time since one came across a good comedy . it is amust watch for everyone, for all genre of people.  just go for it .  

                                                Naqaab
Abbas –Mustan have this knack of delivering thrilerrs like anything .
From Baazigar to Naqaab they have come a long way and it is only fair
to say that they have turned up sometimes with real good stuff like Baazigar,
Humraaz etc.
But something seems to have gone wrong with them since 36 china town
and now Naqaab, both are pretty average. It really becomes torrid to sit through
their new release . Bobby Deol should seriously pull up his socks or maybe
ask papa dharamji to do a Rakesh Roshan for him, else the viewers might
forget him very easily. He fails to give those goose bumps which one would
expect in a thriller, though the script too is quite weak.
The story revolves around a multi millionaire Bobby Deol and his fiancé
Urvashi and her clandestine affair with struggling actor Akshay Khanna.
The fiancé realizes her true love is the actor and not the millionaire. Now
You don’t need need to be a rocket scientist to guess who ends up with
the gal. The sting operation & the secret camera are suitable for tiltillating
news channels. It fails to excite you on the big screen with the plot woven
around it. Maybe it is do with the overkill of news channels. Urvashi is good
for a debut . She looks promising in the movie. Music though is not good
which is surprising considering it is an Abbas- Mustan flick . not one
 song which you could out humming from the theatre.
Talking about the screenplay it lacks the pace of a thriller, first
 half is quite grim the second half catches up a bit but
fails to deliver the goods . Dialogues too leave a lot to be desired.
Script writing is one area where the industry needs to invest heavily. This
could stem the rot of this flood of flop films.
The movie is just about average. Akshay Khanna delivers a good performance
And Urvashi Sharma is also good. Watch it only if you have time to kill.

                                       Partner
Firsts things first , David Dhawan is the comedy king of bollywood and no doubts about that.
 With Partner he tries to recreate magic again but fails miserably, half an hour
into the movie and you realize, has the man the midas touch lost it.
Bollywood version of Hitch fails to live up to the original’s stature.
Not one instance in the film where one could laugh out heartily.
Rajpal Yadav , David dhawan’s addition to the original script is totally wasted .
Jokes are too stale and at best you yawn at them.One pities an actor like him doing such stuff.
Sallu as love guru does not give too many moments where you could just
 sit back and admire him, jokes about him being shirtless and all are
 too old for anyone to even bat an eyelid. Screenplay of the movie lets it down.
Music never makes you feel good . Though David Dhawan is not known for
 making intelligent cinema but one can’t expect  the audience to
shy away from logic totally . Katrina  and Lara don’t have much to do
except dance in the songs. Sallu’s statement that
Loving a journalist is pretty tough doesn’t win him any brownie points with media gals.
The only high point of this slow paced flick is Govinda trying to
fuse some life into the film. His comic timing alone though is not
 enough to save this one . Govinda it seems has managed to hold onto the one
Thing that has kept him afloat all this years and that is his comic timing.
watch it only if you are a staunch supporter of Govinda because
otherwise there is not one good reason to bear with the movie for 150 min.

Rating 1.5 *

Here is a piece of advice for Anubhav Sinha .Style doesn’t work without substance. This film has style but lacks even a semblance of a plot. Maybe Anubhav Sinha wants to start the trend of stylish and trendy cinema a.k.a Hollywood In Bollywood , but the animated action scenes. Leave you gasping for some real action.

Now the plot or the lack of it is a vengeful guy who is after a diamond and uses a team of crooks to get it done. Shamita shown to very smart is n’t smart enough that her boyfriend itself is the guy leading the crooks. I tell you sometimes the director takes the audience for granted a lot.

A foreign model there for an item number hardly dances but the cinematographer has more than made for it by focusing on her glamorous face. Dialogues are a complete let down. Screenplay never seems to be high point of the film. One has to understand  that telling a joke over a dead friend is not emotional, you can’t compare it with Vinod Khanna singing for a dead Amitabh.

As for the actors they have a nothing to do , not much scope for performance.  Shamita manages to look sexy but that ‘s about it .Even Ajay Devgan fails to give you any moments to suit back and cherish. Sadly , when will Bollywood realize all the money which is being drained down every Friday, only if a  fraction of it spent on genuine Script writing talent the damage could be sealed.
