Ek Thi Daayan Movie Review

Producers Ekta Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj collaborate for a unique and never-touched-before concept with Ek Thi Daayan. Directed by Kannan Iyer, the movie is a supernatural thriller starring Emraan Hashmi, Konkana Sen Sharma, Huma Qureshi and Kalki Koechlin in lead roles. The film is set to hit the theatres tomorrow and let’s see whether it manages to horrify as expected.

Story:

The movie starts off with Bobo (Emraan Hashmi),a world famous magician who is stuck amidst frequent horrific illusions from his childhood. His condition forces him to visit his childhood psychiatrist. During one of his hypnosis session, Bobo recollects his terrifying past, where his sister and father are killed by a Daayan, named Daayana (Konkana Sen Sharma).

His girlfriend, Tamara (Huma Qureshi) doesn’t believe in his illusions and helps him to carry on in life. As soon as he tries to forget his past, Lisa Dutt (Kalki Koechlin) enters the scene who reminds Bobo of Daayana. Is Lisa too a part of Bobo’s illusions or is she for real? How does Bobo get rid of his hallucinations ? That forms the rest of the story.

Positive Points:

After all the bollywood horror flicks revolving around aatmas, ghosts and black magic, the makers of Ek Thi Daayan add a new genus of Daayans to the league. Kannan Iyer brings a new form of horror to Indian cinema with a concept as unique as this one and manages to terrorize the audiences brilliantly.

The movie revolves around Emraan Hashmi and he doesn’t let the viewers get their eyes off him. The actor’s performance is par excellence. Out of the three Daayan’s, Konkana Sen Sharma excels in her role. Even though the movie is her debut in the horror genre, she manages to play her character terrifically.

Kalki Koechlin doesn’t have much to do in the film, but manages to portray her character well. Huma Qureshi gives an endearing performance. Special mention goes to Rajatava Dutta (Emraan’s doctor) and Vishesh Tiwari (the young Emraan), who have depicted their parts extremely well. The small girl playing Emraan’s childhood sister is simply adorable.

Negative Points:

The movie is an adaptation of Mukul Sharma’s (Konkana’s father) short story and it would have been more convincing if it was made any shorter. Even though the film has a few extremely spooky moments, a few scenes just do not go with the flow. The movie gets confusing as it processes and goes completely out of track by the climax.

Huma Qureshi is a zilch as compared to her previous acclaimed performances. The movie could have done better without Kalki’s character, which doesn’t have much to do. The climax of the film is confusing and the second half is elongated to an extent that it takes the viewers interest off.

Technical Aspects:

The music of the film given by Vishal Bhardwaj is definitely a plus. Yaaram, Kali Kali and Lautungi Main go with the flow and act as refreshments. Totey Ud Gaye is an appealing number. Saurabh Goswami handles the camera in a marvelous way and captures the spooky sequences extremely well.

Clinton Cerejo’s background score gives a horrific effect to the film. While the first half of the film is informative and interesting, the second half becoming dreary by the end. Kannan Iyer manages to indulge the viewers in a new genre pretty well. His screenplay is tight and doesn’t let the film wander.

Verdict:

On the whole, Ek Thi Daayan is a distinctive and unique addition to the horror genre. Apart from a few confusing scenes, the movie will be liked by all types of audiences, whether or not one believes in Daayans. This one is unquestionably worth a shot.

Oblivion Movie Review - Good Narration

Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman are the lead actors in ‘Oblivion’, a sci-fi drama which has been directed by Joseph Kosinski. Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough play the female leads in the movie and Claudio Miranda is the cinematographer. The film has released today in India in a reasonably big way, since Tom Cruise is quite popular here. Let us see how the movie is.
Story :
After the nuclear fallout resulting from a war between humans and the Alien life forms known as Scavs, Earth is deserted. The surviving humans move to Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. The humans leave behind Jack Harper (Tom Cruise), a drone maintenance specialist, and his companion Victoria (Andrea Riseborough).  Jack services the drones and assists his forces in the clean up operations on Earth. Though he leads a happy life with Victoria, he is plagued by vague memories of a past – a past that he cannot piece together.
Towards the end of his mission, Jack witnesses a spaceship’s crash and rescues a mysterious woman named Julia Rusakova (Olga Kurylenko) from the wreckage. Julia’s mysterious arrival changes many things in Jack’s life.
He finds out some shocking truths about the alien life forms known as Scavs and about himself. His life is thrown out of gear when he realises that he is being played in a high stakes game for the control of the earth’s resources.
What is that game? Who is Julia Rusakova? What is Jack Harper really up to?
Plus Points :
Tom Cruise gives a decent performance as Jack Harper. He does what is required of him and looks comfortable in the film’s action sequences. Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough look good.
The film has beautiful visuals and that is no surprise since Claudio Miranda is in charge of things. The Academy Award winner’s cinematography is a major asset for the movie. The portrayal of historical landmarks in a dilapidated state is pretty realistic.
The film has some very cool gadgets and futuristic equipment that will appeal to gadget lovers and tech enthusiasts.
There are one or two decent action sequences that have been shot well. Towards the end, Tom Cruise comes face to face with someone who is quite similar (Don’t want to reveal the twist) and that sequence has been conceived well.
Minus Points :
The plot has many similarities to films like ‘The Matrix’, ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Total Recall’. There is nothing new or innovative in the plot or in the film’s execution. For a big budget sci-fi movie featuring Tom Cruise, that is a bit of a letdown.
The climax sequence, in particular, will seem like a straight lift from ‘Independence Day’. Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough do not have very good roles in the film. Morgan Freeman is wasted in a badly written character.
Tom Cruise outwits the futuristic and highly advanced drones and other weapons systems quite easily and rather unconvincingly. Come on Tom, an advanced Alien race is definitely more intelligent that that.
If you go in looking for entertainment or loads of futuristic action sequences, you will be sorely disappointed. The pace of the film can get quite slow.
Technical Aspects :
I have already written about Claudio Miranda’s superb cinematography. Editing could have been better. Anthony Gonzalez and Joseph Trapanese have provided the background score and they have done a neat job.
Visual Effects are very good and deserve applause. Joseph Kosinski’s direction is a big letdown.
Verdict :
Despite some stunning visuals, cool gadgets and a big star cast, ‘Oblivion’ ends up as a surprisingly mediocre film. Too many similarities to popular sci-fi films of the past and a slow pace never let the film take off. Casual entertainment seeking viewers and action film lovers will be disappointed. You may give it a shot, but don’t go in with high expectations.

Commando Hindi Movie Review - Ultimate Body Show

Vidyut Jamwal made a smashing debut in Bollywood with his negative role in the 2011 action entertainer ‘Force’ where he held his own against the film’s leading man John Abraham. Force went on to be a decent hit apart from making Vidyut an overnight star. He also went on to win all the major debutante awards last year and earned himself the tag of an ultimate action hero. Vidyut is now debuting as the hero in producer Vipul Shah’s action entertainer ‘Commando’. The movie also stars former Miss India Pooja Chopra and Jaideep Ahlawat of ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’ fame. The film release today and so let’s read on to see what the film is all about:

Story:

Karanvir Dogra (Vidyut Jamwal) is a range one commando with the Indian Para military force who is captured by the Chinese government for trespassing into China. He is imprisoned and tortured for more than a year while somewhere in Pathankot, Amrit Kanwal Singh(Jaideep Ahlawat), a deadly criminal in that area wants to marry his cousin Simrit (Pooja Chopra) at any cost.

As time passes by, the Chinese want to take Karan to an unknown location when he escapes and crosses over to India at the Lepcha border in Himachal Pradesh. He heads to towards his base at Pathankot when he runs into Simrit who is on the run from Amrit Kanwal Singh’s goons. Karanvir warns the goons to leave Simrit alone and when they don’t listen to him, he beats them to a pulp. Unexpectedly, Simrit is far from happy about this and ticks off Karan for adding to her troubles and she forces him to accompany her till she feels safe. The rest of the story is as to how Karnavir saves Simrit form the evil clutches of Amrit Kanwal Singh.

Plus Points:

As the tag line suggests, Commando is surely a one man film which means that it’s a complete Vidyut Jamwal show with almost every scene dominated by him. One can confidently say that Vidyut is the Indian version of Sylvester Stallone and you can’t help but remember films like First blood and Rambo while watching Commando. Vidyut is absolutely amazing in all the action sequences and he also reminds you of the young Akshay Kumar in the early 90′s. Vidyut has the physique, talent and most importantly, he also dances well which is a must for every Hindi film hero.

Jaideep Ahlawat who plays the negative role does an amazing job with his body language, characterization and dialogues suiting the film perfectly. Pooja Chopra looks decent and plays her part well. Commando has some hardcore entertaining action sequences spread across the film. What also helps is the film’s running time which moves at a crisp pace from start to end finish.

Minus Points:

Needless to say, Commando’s story is as old as the hills and there is nothing special about it as it is a good versus evil saga. The sequence showing Vidyut’s escape from China is quite unbelievable and so are the sequences about Vidyut making his way back into India and getting caught up with the heroine. Vidyut looks stiff in some of the scenes and his sequences with Pooja Chopra could have been better. Despite their good looks, the lead pair lacks chemistry and that clearly shows on the screen. The first 15 minutes of the second half tend to get a bit slow and you can easily keep guessing on what happens next throughout the film.

Technical Aspects:

Given that the minimum expectation from a hardcore action film is of some jaw-dropping action sequences, Commando scores highly on this expectation and has some of the best action scenes ever seen in any recent Bollywood film. Lethal hand-to-hand combat fights, amazing stunts and well directed action sequences are in abundance in Commando. The background score is very effective as it elevates the film completely.

The dialogues and the music are OK with director Dilip Ghosh sticking to the tried and tested plot which makes this film a simple watch. The screenplay moves at an even pace while the cinematography captures some stunning locations giving a fresh feel to the film. Though the adaptation is very old school, it’s been quite a while since we have seen such a film in Bollywood.

Verdict:-

On the whole, Commando is one film which has some of the best and original action scenes in then recent Hindi films. Watch out for Vidyut Jamwal as he displays some of the best stunts you would have seen in a very long time. Finally, even though Commando reminds you of films like First Blood and Rambo series, this desi version is a must watch for all action movie lovers.

1234 (Andaru Engineerle) Movie Review

Priya Anand, who made her foray into Telugu films with Leader, is balancing her act by doing Hindi and Tamil films simultaneously. Her latest film in Tamil, Pugaipadam has now been dubbed as 1234- Andaru

Engineer le. Presented by R Satya Narayana, this film has managed a minor release today. Let’s see how it is.
Story :
The story is about a group of 7 engineering students based in Kodaikanal. All the friends spend their college days very happily, and among their very own batch are Paini Geaorge(Priya Anand) and Krishna(Ahmed) who are secretly in love.
As the college is about to get over the couple decide to reveal their affair to the rest of their group. During this time a serious tragedy strikes to one of their friends. Because of this unexpected incident, the group decides to split among themselves.
What is the tragedy? Why does the group decide to split ? and what happens to Paini and Krishna’s love story? That forms the rest of the story.
Plus Points :
Priya Anand does a decent job in the film. Her costumes, make up and her look is very natural. The other supporting cast have also done a decent job. Comedy scenes based in the college backdrop are also good. Some scenes where students imitate the teachers are nicely shot.
Minus Points :
This movie is the exact replica of Happy days but is no where in those standards. Pace of the movie is very slow and takes for ever to finish. The climax is also hard to digest and will not go well with Telugu audience. Director Lingam completely fails to handle this young subject and falters in many areas.
The movie has lot of loopholes and many scenes are incomplete. Scenes are very confusing and the order in which they have been placed goes haywire.
Technical Aspects :
Screenplay of the movie is very bad and the presentation goes for a toss. Editing of the movie is horrible. Though the movie is based in the beautiful locales of Kodaikanal, one would expect some beautiful scenery but even that has not been captured well by the camera department. Dialogues and dubbing work is not up to the mark. Only saving grace is its background score.
Verdict :
On the whole 1234-(Andaru Engineer le) is one film which is a total disappointment. Slow pace and some horrible scenes go against the film completely. Rather than watching this film, get yourself a DVD of Shekhar Kammula’s Happy Days and save yourself from this dubbing torture.
