PAAN SINGH TOMAR REVIEW BY SAMEER VALECHA:

Image
Star cast: Irrfan Khan, Mahie Gill, Zakir Hussain, Vipin Sharma and Imran Hasnee Director: Tigmanshu Dhulia Producer: UTV Motion Pictures (Ronnie Screwvala) Review: Paan Singh Tomar was an athlete who ruled the steeplechase event at the Indian National Games for 7 years in a row and whose record stood unbeaten for 10 years, but, he became even more (in) famous when he gave up his running shoes and went on to become a dacoit and wreaked havoc in the Chambal Valley in Madhya Pradesh. Paan Singh Tomar is the true epic journey of a talented athlete turned rebel. Director Tigmanshu Dhulia's most ambitious project till date has finally seen the light of the day after being sealed in the box for 4 long years. PST is over 5 years old and still seems fresh when one sees it on-screen. The story has been brilliantly penned as well as executed on screen. It goes the same for editing and the dialogues. All the departments have been well taken care of by the director who himself has...

PLAYERS REVIEW BY SAMEER VALECHA:

Image
Star cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Bipasha Basu, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Omi Vaidya, Sikander Kher, Johny Lever Director: Abbas Mustan Producer: Burmawala Bros., Viacom 18 Motion Pictures Music: Pritam Review: PLAYERS is about a team of skilled and sharp group of people -- Charlie [Abhishek Bachchan], Ronnie [Bobby Deol], Spider [Neil Nitin Mukesh], Riya [Bipasha Basu], Bilal [Sikander Kher] and Sunny [Omi Vaidya] -- who rob the gold bullion from Russia successfully. But one of them double crosses the players and the team sets out, with Naina [Sonam Kapoor] also included in their task now, to retrieve the booty and also settle scores. Director duo Abbas-Mustan are back with their yet another thriller, and once again they have put their best foot forward in delivering an edge of the seat thriller. Although this time they have tried their hands on an official remake of a super hit Hollywood flick ‘The Italian Job’. Yet there are many changes in the screenplay ...

Rockstar:Ranbir Kapoor’s daring act in the film, Rahman’s over the top music and Imtiaaz Ali’s different way of story telling make it the standout film of the year. In this hero-oriented film, Debutante heroine Nargis Fakhri also made her presence felt. Anil Mehta's cinematography was exceptional, where he shot things from the beauty of Kashmir to the Heritage of Prague.   Singham:Ajay Devgn’s action avatar, which was seen after so many years, did make its presence felt to the audiences. Rohit Shetty’s action did the rest for the film to make it a part of the 100 cr. Club. Music here was average but the daring action made up for it. 7 Khoon Maaf:No matter the fate of this film at the Box-Office, it will stay in my heart for a long time. Priyanka’s daring act and Vishal Bhardwaj’s narration skills made the film a classic that was more loved by the Film Festival audience and Priyanka’s performance is still fresh in my Heart. The Music of this film was average, Darling being an exc...

Image
Don 2 released on December 23,2011 has collected around Rs 48.39 cr nett in its 3-day opening weekend in all the 3 languages in which it released in India [Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions].  The breakup for the 3 days is as follows:-  Friday 15.3 cr,  Saturday 15.09 cr,  Sunday 18 cr. The business fell marginally on Saturday, but picked up on Sunday because of the Christmas holiday. While the film has fared exceptionally well at multiplexes, the business at single screens and B & C centres is way below the mark. But the Public reports are all good and the business may cross the 100 cr. mark of the first week business is around 70 cr. mark. But if the 1st week Business is around 65 cr. then the lifetime business would be just around 97-98 cr.

He has also done the scripting and dialogues of the film. The film starts of from the last dialogue of the previous film and it even has some similarities with the previous film....

RA.ONE REVIEW BY SAMEER VALECHA

Image
When it comes to super hero films, India doesn't have many of them to it's credit. SRK has gone all out to make a descent attempt to make one. But sometimes things don't go as expected and this happens in Ra.One. Film is based in the backdrop of a game called 'Ra.One'. The film starts up slowly showing the father-son relationship and then it moves to it's plot of the game where the Villain is more powerful than the hero. Then a few things occur due to which the villain comes out of the game. Then it's the battle of Good vs. Evil. At the end of the first half, it seems that the film will have pace in the second half but the second half also lacks pace which was expected. Director Anubhav Sinha has done a fine job but one thing was not made clear that how can someone come out of a game. SRK, Kareena and Arjun fit well in their parts but the child outsmarts them all and has acted the best. Music is already on top of the charts. Action stunts all fi...
