Johnny Gaddar: A delightful movie

(It is so difficult to write about a thriller movie like Johnny Gaddar without giving the story away, so if you feel that you are losing your suspense of the story, stop reading)
If you liked the Saif Ali Khan and Urmila Matondkar movie 'Ek Hasina Thi', you would like Johnny Gadar. There is an element to this movie that makes it a great thriller, including the part about there being a lot of suspense for the characters in the movie while the viewer knows everything. There are no spectacular action scenes, or expensive stunts; it's all about putting in an element of suspense in the interactions. What seems important is to have a slick story line, although the second half does stretch the story line a bit. However, it was interesting to learn that Director Sriram Raghavan did not shoot with a bound script; apparently they just had the beginning, the middle part, and the end; the rest of the script was improvised.
The director is clearly inspired from James Hadley Chase (if you have read some of the novels of Chase, it will seem apparent). There are people of all shades, but rarely do you come across a true person or a person who is all white without any shades of grey in his character. This can't be more true than in this movie, given that all the characters have strong shades of grey in their character. Somehow, the movie seems more realistic, as you realize that this is what real people are like.
The casting is decent, with some good roles by the characters of Neil Mukesh, Vinay Pathak, Zakir Hussain, Ashwini Kaleskar. Rimi Sen does a good role of the wife of Shardul (Zakir Hussain) in love with Vikram (Neil Mukesh), but absolutely terrified of her husband and what he would do if he got to know.
The movie is about a gang of people who need to collect a lot of money to avail of a get rich quick scheme, and collect Rs. 2.5 crore. Vikram, the youngest of the lot, decides to use this opportunity to loot all the cash and steals the money from Daya Shetty in a train. He also kills Daya by accident, and thus starts the quest to keep ahead of the others (who don't know who stole the money, but suspect each other). Mukesh's first kill is by accident, but after this, he slowly kills the others one by them, and very few of them really suspect him, till almost the end when they get killed. But, in the end, as in Chase's novels, the killer or thief can't really get away, and he is killed (and that too by mistake by the widow of one of the persons he killed).
The movie remains fairly taut, and the tension is apparent as things move ahead. You know who did the killing, but still wait to see as to how he gets away from the various gang members who want to find out who did the killing and then kill the thief. A slightly weak point in the movie is the character of Dharmendra, you expect the leader of such a gang to be much more villainous and be more able to smell out who the killer actually is.

Om Shanti Om: An okay masala movie

What can one say about this movie. The previous movie with the combination of Farah Khan doing the direction and Shahrukh Khan doing the production and the lead acting was 'Main Hoon Na'. While a very slick masala movie, nobody could really claim that it was an exceptional movie. And the same message was reinforced for this movie as well, with all the hype before the movie proudly claiming the fact that this will be another entertainer, a pure masala movie (no pretensions at being a social movie or an art movie of any kind).



The movie has some good music, and the first half is pretty interesting. The whole scene is of the 70's type of setting, and I actually quite enjoyed most of this part. The impersonation of the South Indian heroes, the caricature of Manoj Kumar (in spite of the controversy, the touch was amusing). The flow of the movie was very natural, with a young sidey actor, his resourceful friend, and an over-acting mother (although it was a sheer waste of an actress of Kiron Kher's calibre). Shahrukh's acting was enjoyable, whether it be the shy person in front of a superstar whom he adores, or when his dream crashes and he realizes that she is in love with someone else.
It is when Shahrukh gets overly emotional (such as when he is trying to rescue Deepika from a fire) that you realize that you have seen this type of acting before (in almost every movie where there is violence driven from an emotional angle such as Baazigar, and other such movies). Deepika does not have any tough scenes except for the confrontation with her lover, and some of these scenes are shot from a distance and do not allow too much of evaluation of acting talent. She does look good in many of the scenes though. Was a bit disappointed with Arjun Ramphal, since for a person who cold-bloodedly kills his lover (and who is bearing his child), you don't get to feel the menace. It is only when he tells his men that she should not escape the flame that you get to feel the menace (but that is more due to the script rather than acting).
The second half is much more disappointing. Shahrukh Khan does the reincarnation act, and you immediately know that this Karz. But soon, I started feeling shades of Madhumati also involved, and that turned out to be true. The second half seemed much more disjointed, such as Shahrukh Khan's conversion from being somebody who does not believe in the previous birth thing to a person who goes to meet his mother from the previous birth was very sudden (I was thinking that I missed some part of the movie).
Originality in the second half seems missing, and one could easily figure out large sections of the movie based on the earlier movies. The song (to resemble the finale 'Ek Haseena Thi' from Karz does not compare in any way. The death of the villain is not very convincing, although Deepika's double role in this part is adequate.
Farah Khan managed to pull in a large number of special appearances in the movie:

Murder: The movie that launched Mallika Sherawat and Emran Hashmi

Murder was not the debut movie for either Mallika Sherawat or Emraan Hashmi (debut movies being Khwaish for Mallika and Footpath for Imraan Hashmi), but this was the movie that gave a big boost to their film career, and also set their reputations (something that got repeated in future films). So Mallika got the reputation of being ready to do sexy roles involving hot scenes, exposure, kissing, and similar such characteristics, and Emraan got the reputation of a serial kisser. The movie was directed by Anurag Basu under the tutelage of Mahesh Bhatt, and there are signs of the Bhatt effect showing through. The movie is based on the English movie 'Unfaithful'. It does have some great songs and hummable music, and overall is a watch at least once. However if you are watching with family and are hesitant about bold scenes, then don't watch. The movie has bold scenes where required, and does not hesitate to shock in the story about a neglected wife having an affair with a former lover. The movie has music by Anu Malik, and lyrics are by Sayeed Quadri and Rahat Indori.



The movie is different from the usual murder story, and also different from the run of the mill 'B' class movie that seek to titillate the viewer with hot and racy sex scenes. The movie is from a top banner, and presents the story of what happens in a family when a partner starts to feel neglected, and the difference being that the movie does not hesitate in showing some bold sex scenes. Hence, a number of scenes of adultery and betrayal of the marital bond of trust; but with a difference, the innate love between the husband and wife is enough to finally get them out of the mess that they land up in.
The movie is mostly in flashback, with the police investigating a murder of a young disc jockey Sunny (Emraan Hashmi) in Malaysia, and are interrogating people associated with him. They discover the truth about the husband and wife couple of Ashmit Sen (Sudir) and Mallika Sherawat (Simran). Simran used to love Emraan in college, but lost touch with him when he was jailed for assaulting a person over Simran. Sudhir was married to Simran's sister, but when her sister died leaving behind a baby, Simran took on the responsibility and married Sudhir, but there never seemed to be something like true love between them.
At a time when Simran is feeling very neglected and Sudhir does not seem to care, Simran meets Sunny and soon they are having a rollicking affair involving scenes of a fair amount of intimacy. Simran feels very guilty, but keeps on with the affair. Sudir soon starts to suspect something and hires a detective who finds the truth very soon. Sudhir has a confrontation with Sunny, and soon Sunny is dead. At that stage, both husband and wife start to cover for each other, and the rest of the movie is about who is the culprit.

Gangster: A great movie

A typical urban gangster movie of the 70's and 80's (thus excluding the rural dacoit movie such as Sholay) was all about the larger than life character, fighting against the police, and maybe reforming or dying. It was the odd movie such as Deewar which tried to look into the mind of a gangster, but these were still movies about larger than life characters. It was films like Vaastav & Satya that tried to break into the basic characters mind, and show the goings on around them, along with the overall despair that involved such criminals (and make no mistake, no matter the circumstances, the new age of movies display them as criminals even when showing their sequence of steps to becoming a gangster).



A refreshing new movie in this regard is the movie called Gangster (directed by Anurag Basu for Mahesh Bhatt). The movie pulls no punches, showing the old game of gangster vs. police through the eyes of a young woman forced to make her choices. The movie is truly a different movie, able to de-glamorize the whole gangster-moll and romance bit. The movie does have some unrealistic parts as well, such as the alcohol-sunken portrayal of a bar dancer by Kangana Ranaut in a great debut role. With some excellent roles given to both Shiney Ahuja and Emraan Hashmi, this movie is also a good example of a movie doing well on the basis of story and performances (and some good music).
Story is all in flashback, showing 2 people firing guns at each other; and then the story starts to unfold. Kanagana essays the role of Simran, a dancer turned into an alcoholic. She has dreams of a normal family, but those are not to be. One day she gives shelter to a dreaded gangster Daya (Shiney Ahuja) when he is being chased by the cops. Why she does so is not clear ! However, Daya starts visiting her club and soon saves her from a drunk customer, and then asks her to come home. And so naturally, they start having an affair; but always on the move (far removed from the normal life that she wanted) since he is on the run from the police. He even ignores the advice from his patron (Gulshan Grover in a short role) to leave her.
They decide to escape from India so as to escape the police and the pressure; and he goes off to Mauritius and she is sent off to South Korea. And it is here that she starts sinking into the pressured and dreary life of an alcoholic, which is when Emraan Hashmi meets her (he is a singer, and starts showing interest in her). She succumbs to her loneliness and has a one-night stand with him. In the meantime Shiney reaches there and beats up Emraan almost to death. However, this is the last we see of the proud don, since he now tries to lead a normal life for her, doing menial work in order to earn money. But, we all know what happens from a one-night stand - Kangana is now pregnant with Emraan's child.
Emraan encourages her to get Shiney to surrender to the police, and, in a fateful decision that she will always regret, she picks Emraan's side. And then after Shiney is gone, she learns that Emraan was a policeman, and the finale is about her trying to take vengeance. The movie is a worth-watch, and with some hummable songs. Movie has music by Pritam Chakraborty; lyrics are by Sayeed Qadri, Mayur Puri, Nilesh Mishra

Song: Bin Tere Sanam

There was a movie released way back in 1991 called 'Yaara Diladara'. I don't know anyone who remembers having seen the movie, and the movie was released around the time that I was in college, and I never got a chance to see it, so I don't know the story. The movie did not do anything great, but it left behind 1 song (and to a lesser extent another one) that are very very popular now (in remixed form).
For the record, the movie 'Yaara Dildara' starred Asif Sheikh, Rohini Hattangadi, Ruchika Pandey, Amjad Khan and Kader Khan. It was produced & directed by the the Mirza brothers, and had music by Jatin Lalit. Lyrics were by Majrooh Sultanpur and the lead singers were Udit Narayan, Kavita Krishnamurty.



The song has had a fabulous remix, being released by DJ Suketu, and that made it extremely popular. It is now played in clubs and many other places, although most people would not know the name of the movie ! In addition to this song, there was another song from the same movie called 'Tumhi Hamari Ho Manzil My Love' that has also had a recent re-mix released.
