Cast: Akshay Kumar, Shruti Hasan, Kareena Kapoor, Suman, Sunil Grover, Jaideep.
Duration: 131 Minutes

Inspired from a Telugu movie story line Tagore, the Gabbar ……Is Back.  This time for a change, Gabbar is an angry rebellious man, who is on the wrong side of system to just make it good.

Adithya (Akshay Kumar) a professor of a college in Bombay, accidentally meets Shruti (Shruti Hasan) an aspiring lawyer over a situation. Adithya helps Shruti get out of this situation, eventually leading to their bond getting stronger.

Cut to parallely, every week, one most corrupt officer from one government department in Bombay is killed publicly. Before every murder, the killer in the name of Gabbar sends a CD to the police informing his step. Soon Gabbar becomes a rage in public and especially among youth who treat him as modern Robin Hood.

The story takes a turn when Shruti comes across Adithya in police dress trying to kidnap a local police officer. What follows next is something to watch out for.

Coming to the other aspects of movie, in spite of its routine story line, the director Krish made sure the story never drops its pace. With minimal songs and breezy romance this flick doesn't burn much romantic fuel.  

Had been some care taken about Music and songs it would have boosted movie further. In this case a hotty Chitrangdha and Kareena Kapoor has been wasted.

Akshay Kumar has again done a fabulous job single handedly taking the film on him. A cameo by sunil grover is something worth mentioning.

All in all Gabbar with is short pace and some noticeable performance is worth watching once. But a word of caution….. keep the expectations low.

My Rating : 2.5/5

Jigra - Review

Image
Movie follows Satyabhama Anand (Alia Bhatt), who is fiercely protective of her younger brother, Ankur Anand (Vedang Raina). Ankur, along with his cousin, travels to Hansi Dao, Malaysia, for studies but is wrongfully sentenced to death for drug possession. Determined to save him, Satyabhama arrives in Malaysia and teams up with Bhatia (Manoj Pahwa), a retired gangster, and Muthu (Rahul Ravindran), an ex-cop, to plan a jailbreak while Ankur and his fellow inmates plot their escape. What works - Alia Bhatt gives a strong performance as the determined sister, especially in the film’s climactic action scenes. Vedang Raina holds his own, while Manoj Pahwa and Rahul Ravindran enhance the story. Let downs - However, those looking for an engaging narrative may find Jigra lacking. The plot is predictable, and viewers familiar with the trailer may not find any surprises. The pacing is uneven, and the emotional connection between the siblings feels underdeveloped, leaving audiences wan...

Coolie - Its Rajnis show all the way !

Image
Rating : 3/5 Cast : Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan Director : Lokesh Kanagaraj The union of superstar  Rajinikanth  and hitmaker  Lokesh Kanagaraj  raised massive expectations. Coolie  sadly doesn't live up to the hype. The film feels muddled and inconsistent, occasionally lifted by Rajinikanth's towering presence,  Anirudh Ravichander's  pulsating score, and slick action choreography. The plot strongly resembles Lokesh’s earlier film  Vikram . An older protagonist with a hidden past, a crime syndicate, a mysterious villain — it’s all been done before. The problem is, unlike Vikram,  Coolie  lacks tight execution. The film drifts aimlessly at times, missing the coherence and focus. Still,  Rajinikanth  is magnetic. At 74, his charisma remains unmatched, commanding attention with minimal effort. Whether it’s his iconic cigarette flick or a knowing smi...

War 2 - Sleek, Stylish & Entertaining

Image
Rating : 3/5 Cast:  Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, Anil Kapoor, Varun Badola, Dishita Sehgal, K.C. Shankar D irector:  Ayan Mukerji Writers:  Sridhar Raghavan, Abbas Tyrewala, Aditya Chopra Duration:  2 hours 50 minutes On the surface (and backed by a massive budget),  War 2  proudly carries forward the hallmarks of the YRF Spy Universe—flashy, globe-spanning locations from Japan to Spain, Italy to Abu Dhabi, and even icy caves in Switzerland. Narratively, it's a familiar spy thriller loop: Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) reemerges as a rogue agent, only to be revealed as working undercover. A revamped R&AW unleashes their best operative, Vikram (Jr NTR), to bring him down, sparking a classic enemies-turned-allies bromance. Cue betrayals, dramatic flashbacks, and themes of patriotism versus modern-day nationalism.  Despite the franchise’s commercial motivations, the casting feels somewhat logical. The movie reflects a real-...
