Bullett Raja Movie Review

Featuring Saif Ali Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Vidyut Jamwal, Bullet Raja is a hi-octane drama flick, set against the backdrop of Uttar Pradesh-based mafia while dealing with the political and industrial powers of the state. Like most of Dhulia's earlier films, Bullet Raja too is raw, unrefined, rustic and unique in it's own way.

Story: The story of Bullet Raja revolves around Raja Mishra, a commoner, who gets transformed into Bullett Raja - a notorious, care a damn attitude gangster. A faithful friend and a loyal lover, living life on his own terms, setting his own rules, commanding respect and fearing no one, Bullett Raja in his true inimitable style takes on the system that creates people like him in a compelling struggle for power and ambition. Mishra's character commands respect, but at the same time he makes sure he respects women. Although he is a gangster where he finds glory with guns, the movie also has for us some instances of romance between Saif and Sonakshi Sinha, who plays Mishra's love interest in the flick. This gangster has his lady love to whom he is very loyal. 

What's Good? Tigmanshu sets things up skillfully in the first hour. Like most of Dhulia's movie, Bullet Raja too boasts of some fiery and impactful dialogues, bringing a vital spark in the movie, that flows so effortlessly. 

Performances: As for Saif Ali Khan, you'll get to see a bit of Langda Tyagi in Bullet Raja. Saif's looks, his mannerisms, his body language, his overall behavioral pattern takes you by complete surprise in Bullet Raja. From a sophisticated charmer to a rustic gunda, Saif makes the audience believe him. Sonakshi Sinha looks beautiful, but she's again repetative. Sinha doesn't get to do much in the movie, while Vidyua Jamwal on the other hand, is just 'wow'.

 Verdict: Bullet Raja might not be Dhulia's finest work, but this one is worth one time watch. On the whole, apart from Dulia's midas touch, Bullet Raja works big time due to Saif's power-pack performance.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein movie review

First things first. Punit Malhotra cannot direct rom-coms…period. The filmmaker tried to do a Karan Johar in I Hate Luv Storys and almost nailed it, but with Gori Tere Pyaar Mein, he failed miserably.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is the story of Sriram Venkat (Imran Khan), a young man who doesn’t value relationships, family or friends, and Dia Sharma (Kareena Kapoor Khan), who is a hardcore social activist who wants to change the world. They meet and fall in love over one wedding song and numerous social revolts. The attraction initially is physical, but later becomes emotional and veers into complex territory, resulting in a clash of ideas and ideals, which drives them apart. However, Sriram soon realises that he is not over Dia and still loves her. But it’s too late for him; Dia has moved on and now lives in a village called Jhumli near Gujarat where she is playing Mother India to the locals. Like a perfect lover, Sriram arrives in Jhumli to take back Dia home and show her that he is a changed man. But she refuses to go with him. Now since there has to be a happy ending – it is a Dharma Productions movie – Sriram is successful in wooing Dia after a lot of maar-dhaaad and conflict.

Kareena is eye catching in her appearance. Unlike the typical social activists who’ve graced the Bollywood frame in drab and rustic costumes, Kareena is always well turned out in colourful outfits and nicely manicured nails. Imran, on the other hand, doesn’t impress at all. Come on, we have to say that the guy cannot act, no matter how hard he tries! The two look good together, but they seem uninterested and passionless. Newbie Shraddha Kapoor has an extended cameo in the film, and we have no complaints about her. She is adorable and does her part well. Anupam Kher’s character has grey shades, but hey, he is spotlessly impressive.

Punit has given us a blend of rural and urban India with Gori Tere Pyaar Mein, but has desperately tried to do a Karan Johar and failed. Clearly, Karan’s brand of romance isn’t rocket science, but it does require some talent to pull it off. You will have to agree that texturing love sagas in a glossy setup is an art that only Karan has mastered, with Shahrukh Khan standing strong by his side. And if Punit’s directorial duties weren’t arduous enough, he doubles as writer to assist Arshad Syed on the screenplay and dialogue, penning the most bakwaas and insipid lines ever. Even his lame trick of borrowing fun dialogues or scenes from Bollywood hit romances isn’t noteworthy.

The music of the film, Punit claimed in an interview, is apparently Vishal-Shakhar’s best work till date. Frankly, the composers have done much better.

Sadly, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is supposed to be a rom-com, but it’s not. It’s supposed to have peppy dance numbers, but it doesn’t. It’s supposed to have some stellar performances by Imran and Kareena, but it doesn’t. You are supposed to watch this film? No, you aren’t!

Rating:2.5/5

Ram-Leela Movie review

Ram-Leela
U/A; romance
Director: Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Cast: Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Supriya Pathak Kapur, Richa Chadda

It’s time to sing and dance again. Sanjay Leela Bhansali this time brings back a passion on screen that seems to have lost in the lets-concentrate-on-amassing-hundreds-of-crores kind of cinema. A larger-than-life film as is Bhansali’s signature style, Ram-Leela is definitely a unique, deserving nothing but the big screen experience.

What stands out most about the film is passion; the filmmaker's, that of his actors', and even in his characters. There is a certain boldness in Ram and Leela's chemistry and dialogues that will draw you in, almost instantaneously.

The first half is so fast-paced, cheeky, and energetic, it will enchant you (and then shock and awe). This is an unabashed Bollywood love story. It has the happy parts: songs, drama, the kiss and cheesy text messages. The not-so-happy parts: parental disapproval, separation of the lovers, clash of powerful people and conspiracy. The story has been told a hundred times, and we all know how it ends, and how the characters will play out, yet it keeps you spellbound for most part.

It is a lovely mixture of the familiar and the fresh. It is impossible to watch this film impassively. There are enough magical scenes, to make you feel you have to watch it a second time to soak it all in. 

The technical aspects of the film are extraordinary: breath-taking sets, spellbinding cinematography, perfect music and a wonderful supporting cast. Deepika is perfect in every scene. Ranveer has surrendered to the director's vision and delivers a power-packed performance. He stands out in many scenes, even where he barely has dialogues. But you've got to admit that the real hero of Ram Leela is the man behind the camera. 

Nonetheless, Ranveer as Ram and Deepika as Leela have delivered one of the finest performances of their careers. Gulshan Devaiah as Bhavani, a power greedy nephew of the Saneda Mukhiya is also quite good and so is Richa Chadda who plays the role of Deepika’s sister-in-law. But the lady who stole the thunder was Supriya Pathak. She was impeccable in every scene!

The music composed by the filmmaker himself and Monty Sharma is refreshing. The Gujarati folk number that opens the film is an absolute treat to the ears. The rest of the songs- ‘Tattad Tattad’, ‘Nagada Sang Dhol Baaje’ are good. The number featuring Priyanka Chopra – ‘Ram Chahe Leela’ is a foot-tapping number with an unusual mix of tradition and modernity.

Ravi Varman, the director of photography has complimented the art director and helped Bhansali in producing a dream of sorts onscreen as far as the visuals are concerned.

Overall, the film is first-rate as it brings down the curtain with a universal message of peace and love.

You may watch the film if you love larger than life moments.


Rating:3.5/5
