Brothers Trailer review





Brothers is remake of 2011 Hollywood movie "Warrior" ,Brother is directed by Karan Malhotra(Agneepath ,2012) starring Akshay Kumar ,Sidharth Malhotra, Jackie shroff and Jacqueline Fernandes ,Today its trailer was dropped on Internet and has been getting great appreciation all over for its look and Intensity in the movie

                                         

Trailer starts with Akshay and Sidharth scuffle and Kumar slapping Malhotra in midst of thier encounter ,this sets the tone of what main core of movie would be ,as we go further we get to see Jacqueline fernandes and Asuthosh rana's character.Movie has same plot as warrior two  enstranged brothers who are participating in MMA tournament to achieve thier goals by overcoming each others past, from trailer we get that film is high on emotional drama  and  promises to be as powerful as seen in its English counterpart with some  tweaks in  original  storyline  






Action wise from trailer its clear makers have kept indian audience in mind and went for slightly  over the top sequences, I mean Akshay kumar sitting on other fighters shoulder and giving him elbow on his head from top which is little comedic for  MMA aficionado as myself, But still overall trailer looks good ,has great intensity,actors are looking great, action is pretty much there This movie could  be leading to popularize MMA in india , If you dont know what's MMA or UFC you should seriously search it on Youtube or Internet . It was my most anticipated movie of the year and looks great, Movie releases 14th August 2015 , cheers

Lower your Expectations and avoid disappointments



"Badlapur " starring Varun Dhawan , Nawazuddin Siddiqui with Huma Quereshi, Radhika Apte, Vinay Pathak in key role is action thriller about revenge Movie starts with bank robbery in midst of escape from robbery Yami gautam (varun dhawan's wife in movie) gets shot by siddique and he is caught with  Yami death and Siddiuqi gets jailed for 20 years meanwhile deprssed and shattered varun's character Raghav investigates about another partner during killing of his wife who was pressent wiith Siddiqui  and what follws are  series of events taking  place for Varun to take his revenge from Siddiqui


         Movie is directed by Sriram Raghavan who should be applauded for still being able to churn out a great story from his collection because from his last movie we thought he is going in franchise mode so THANK YOU , as usual his direction has still got edge , by showing his skill in many scenes like opening one shot scene of bank robbery or small scenes where siddiqui tries to escape from jail and still gets caught ,Director knows his story and  has woven it timely all around the movie thus you dont feel lagged when you start watching ,its only fault is its climax as it may leave a foul taste on your mouth instead expecting something awesome in the end you should lower your expectations 

      Actor's are awesome as usual  Siddiqui could have played role of  Liak in his sleep, Dhawan playing Ragahv wasn't as good but his effort was shown on screen which should be praised , Huma quereshi , Radhika apte ,Vinay pathak, Yami gautam  I would sum it up as "anyone could have done it if given to some other actor" because they make it look soo easy on screen as they are playing but reffering to premise its good to see varun dhawan taking this role I would like  see him in more meaty roles like this and Siddiqui should start challenging himself  and try some new genre , 

                                     

Overall great Movie ,good storyline , great acting, awesome scenario's, varun dhawan in his first revenge movie aganist nawauddin siddiqui ,its Rated "A" having few intimate scenes and fight scene which are violent according to "Censor board " so not for everyone , If you would ask me "Not a must watch type of movie"  sure it has 4 star rating all over it given by internet and is trending for weeks but you can watch it anytime its not like kick or mein tera hero which will disappear after weeks of its release and no one talks about it  after a period , its type of rare movie which will stay for years to come and will remembered in conversation of young adults as " Areey tune Badlapur Nhi dekhi , Dekh yar kya sahi movie hai ,Varun kya acting karta hai"

Parinda

               When I went  to watch P.K in theatre , During interval various Movie Trailers were shown      as usual and one of them was Vidhu Vinod Chopra's upcoming directorial venture  "BrokenHorses" and I found something intresting while watching it felt like remake  of "Parinda" , Immediately I  searched and viola  " It isnt" but still when you see the trailer you get the vibes of "Parinda" which was fantastic and  enough reason to talk about this fantastic movie 


              So lets talk about "Parinda" , Its a Gem of a movie , Great stortyline , Great starcast as well as some breakout performances and very gripping storyline made this 1989 crime drama a Hit. It  was according to me best movie of that year .Movie was about two brothers in mumbai  underworld and how there relationship as brother baffles with both of them with different objective in underworld manygripping moments in movie , Jackie Shroff gives performance of his lifetime as a conflicted brother, and Anil kapoor doing awesome as revenge driven friend onto destroy the mafia , and  Nana Patekar showed his level of acting which yet to be surpassed as intimidating Mafia Don ,Madhuri Dixit,Tom Alter, Karan Oberoi were equally good, 


            The biggest star of the Movie was gripping storyline , from the scene where anil kapoor is threatened to kill jackie shroff by nurse if he identifies killer of his friend , or where character of SK subramanium ( ananya's father in 2 states) is killed are some of the awesomest scenes in this movie .Ssoundtrack  of the movie was given R.D.Burman which was soulful, Nitin chandrakant desai, Sanjay leela bhansali some of the big names now started there career with this movie, and special appearance of Anupam kher we cant forget him


Its good to see vidhu vinod chopra coming back to film making and going to make yet another gangster saga in english hope its as marvelous as Parinda .and If he tries to remake Parinda which I hope he does. I would like to see him cast someone from regional cinema to play  Nana's Character. someone like Bharat Jadhav from Marathi circuit or Ravi Teja from Telugu circuit, It would be something fresh . Thus if you are planning to see some mew movie "SEE IT"  or if you have any list of movies to be seen add this into it and watch it once atleast

Top 10 Bollywood Movies Poster 2014

               2014 was year of mixed  emotions there were great movies and not so great movies , but nonetheless all of them were part of year 2014 bollywood , So today here I will give you my take on top 10 Bollywood movie posters 2014.

                                          10) Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
        Varun Dhawan and Alia bhatt starring  Romcom was one of the best this years and both with          critics and masses and Poster too is awesome and funny with subtle reference of DDLJ

 
9) Revolver Rani
This year it has been year of Kangana Ranaut,  firstly Queen , then Revolver Rani and then Ungli, excellent performances all around, Talking about it shows badass Kangana  with wimpy Vir in back, Set in Heartland of India it sure doesn't disappoint to intrigue us and that one-liner below JUST AWESOME!!!!


8)Finding Fanny
An awesome movie, with amazing cast playing a amazing quirky character's and bringing this movie together , Poster clearly shows identity of each character in this lovely tale of finding love

7)Mastram
Well movie about India's most famous erotica writer, which evidently has some very niche and well looking poster collection made by producer's of this movie  , but according to me this one is my favorite one, it directly captures your gaze and makes you go through the poster , Basically its an awesome attention grabber which is what a poster should do and it does it very well

6)Mardani
Starring Rani Mukherjee playing tough cop , and poster shows the gritty dark tone of the movie as well , Its Amazing to see Rani mukherjee's evolution from kuch kuch hota hai's girl-next - door to crime branch officer taking on child trafficking , Its Powerful poster which  speaks for itself and makes audience curious enough, 

5)Haider
One of the most top Rated movie of the year , with Shahid Kapoor giving a career defining performance as Haider , movie stars Tabu, Irfan, Kay Kay Menon in lead role , In poster Shahid is bloodddrenched in white background giving it incredible contrast and tone 

4)Jai Ho
    Why Jai Ho, well producers didnt felt to put much effort in movie ,  as much as they have in poster of movie ,Its very Artistic and  it stands out  from many  posters this year , and yeah it looks cool


3) Highway
Starring once again Alia bhatt and Randeep hooda in titular role , This road movie is directed by Imtiaz Ali to whom which I consider present day yash chopra , delivering us with awesome romantic story-line  everytime  .Talking about poster, color and effects are perfectly balanced with both title character , Poster has that little rustic element which work beautifully for it  


2) RangRasiya
A historical drama about Painter RajaRavi verma  in 19th century, the movie is directed by critically acclaimed director Ketan mehta who does nothing short of spectacular job with this poster of movie , Poster is sort of visual cuisine for your eyes ,I have no other words for it

1) PK
There hasn't never been so much buzz just about movie poster i have ever seen and pesron to create this buzz is none other than Amir Khan, Posing nude for his movie with just a old transistor around is awesometacular , Its grabs the attention and also creates question about why is he naked in middle of a desert, what is PK? Brilliant Once Again
