Movie Review: Jail

Movie: Jail

Starring: Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mugdha Godse, Manoj Bajapai, Rahul Singh and Arya Babbar

Director: Madhur Bhandarkar

Right from the time when he started his career as a director, Madhur Bhandarkar has been known for making some realistic, thought-provoking and hard-hitting film. Jail is no different.

Jail tells you the story of life in a prison and what do those, who live in them go through, both physically and mentally. It is a film, which narrates a story about a life, which most of us have not heard or seen before.

Jail, which is the story of Parag Dixit [Neil Nitin Mukesh], who in the beginning of the film probably has no major complaints from life, with a good job and a caring girlfriend (Mugdha Godse]. by his side. But, Parag’s life changes when after meeting with an accident, he finds himself in Jail. Once in Jail, Parag is confused with his life, which has become a hell. The only relief he has in Jail is his friend Nawab (Manoj Bajpai), who feels that Parag is innocent.

Apart from that, Parag only has hope that he will be a free man some day. Until and unless that happens, Parag has to live a life of a prisoner in Jail.

The film depicts the life and stories of prisoners in such a beautiful way that you feel hooked to the film and cannot move from your seat. The story of Parag itself is told in such an interesting way that you get hooked on.

The film also enlightens you about the Indian legal system and the psychology of prisoners. Apart from a part that looks repetitive, other twists and turns like the prisoners escaping from van and Neil getting thrown in a dark cell have been filmed in a great manner.

The work done behind the camera in form of story, screenplay, dialogues, cinematograph and set designing is quite good. Though, there is no scope of music in the film, whatever little music the film has, fits in the film beautifully.

The way Neil Nitin Mukesh has managed to show the sorrow and helplessness of Parag, shows he can act. Manoj Bajbai is another actor, who needs to be applauded for his performance in the film. The two have been supported well by Mugdha Godse, Aarya Babbar, Chetan Pandit,. Rahul Singh and Joe D’Souza.

But on an overall basis, Jail is a Madhur Bhandarkar film. He has once again proved with Jail that when it comes to making realistic and entertaining films, no one can match his skills.

Movie Review: Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

Movie Review: Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

Star cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Upen Patel, Darshan Jariwala, Smita Jaykar, Namdeo, Zakir Hussain and Navneet Nishan

Director: Rajkumar Santoshi

Whereas every good director has the capability of making great movies, there are only a few directors, who can make all kinds of films, whether it’s a comedy, a romantic film, a serious drama or an action film with the same perfection. With Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Raj Kumar Santoshi has once again proved that he is one such director.

The great aspect of this film is the perfect mixture of romance and comedy, which has been depicted on the screen with great perfection. Especially the way romance has been depicted in the film, makes you feel like falling in love all over again.

This story starts with Prem (Ranbir Kapoor), who runs a Happy Club and believes being happy and keeping others happy. In an attempt to help a close friend, Prem by mistake kidnaps Jenny [Katrina Kaif].  Though Jenny is initially not happy with what Prem has done, she gradually starts understanding him. Whereas, Jenny treats him as a good friend, Prem falls in love with her. But, before he can say anything, he comes to know that Jenny has been adopted by her parents, who want to marry her off to someone she doesn’t like. Prem, on being told by Jenny that she loves another boy Upen Patel , helps both of them to unite since, Upen’s father is also against his son’s marriage with Jenny. 

The first hour of the film is simply great. Though the second hour is also equally good, there are certain parts in the second hour like the kidnapping scene, which takes place so suddenly that they look slightly out of sorts. The final portion of the film looks more like a love triangle.

With Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Raj Kumar Santoshi has come up with a film that the youth would relate to and love. Apart from a great story and a great script, Raj Kimar’s Santoshi’s direction is worth praising.

The film’s music is foot-tapping and goes well with the film.

The performances by both Ranbir and Katrina are par excellence. The two have been supported well by Darshan Jariwala, Smita Jaykar, Upen Patel, Namdeo, Zakir Hussain and Navneet Nishan.

On a whole, good story, good acting, good music, good direction and the fact that it’s a film for the youth, should ensure that Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani does well at the Box office.

Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor Pose for New Movie

Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor are currently hard at work promoting their new movie "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani." Yesterday the acting pair was spotted at Provogue store in Mumbai and we have the pics!

Katrina looked cute in a short skirt and top, while Ranbir sported his usual look with a pair of jeans and a white shirt. Rumors have been swirling lately about a possible break up between Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone and it’s true that the "Wake Up Sid" star has been busy promoting "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" with Katrina. Maybe that’s why some say they are more than just friends.

Well, Katrina has decided to dedicate more time promoting "Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" than Akshay Kumar’s "De Dana Dan," but we can’t say whether it’s got to do with Ranbir or not. On the other hand, she has been spotted with on and off again beau Salman Khan at events around B-town.

So only time will tell if Katrina Kaif’s and Ranbir Kapoor’s on screen chemistry will translate into something else off screen!

In the meantime, check out our pics of Ranbir and Katrina promoting "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" and drop off your comments below.

Film Review: 'Aladin'

The Story:

'Aladin' is a contemporary take on the popular fairy tale "Aladdin". The story is about Aladin Chatterjee (Ritesh Deshmukh) who grows up an orphan in a fantasy-like small town called Khwaish and despite his name, he doesn’t have anything in common with his famous namesake in the classic fairy tale. He is constanlty bullied by school mates who make fun of him and force him to rub lamps in the hopes of seeing a genie appear. One day, a beautiful girl named Jasmine (Jacqueline Fernandez) comes to his college as an exchange student from the U.S. Aladin falls in love with her immediately but so does his biggest bully Kasim (Sahil Khan). But on Aladin’s birthday something strange happens and the movie all of a sudden takes a magic turn as Jasmine gives Aladin a magic lamp that comes out to be a genie named Genius (Amitabh Bachchan). Genius makes Aladin's life a living hell when his three wishes cause chaos in the town. The real destruction begins when a former genie by the name of Ringmaster (Sanjay Dutt) battles out with Genius.

The Cast:

Ritesh Deshmukh as Aladin - a young man in college who lost his parents when he was just a child and who is constantly bullied by his class mates for his name.

Jacqueline Fernandes as Jasmine - Aladin’s love interest. She comes to Khwaish university as an exchange student from America.

Amitabh Bachchan as Genie - he is funny, he is charming and he can really bust the moves for a man of his age, but then again he is a genie whi can do just about anything!

Sanjay Dutt as Ringmaster - the villain who once was a Genie himself but who used his powers for selfish reasons and became an outcast in the Genie community. He is trying to get back to lamp to take over the world.

Sahil Khan as Kasim – the leader of Aladin’s bullies. He also falls in love with Jasmine.

The Crew:

Director: Sujoy Ghosh
Screenplay: Sujoy Ghosh
Writer: Sujoy Ghosh, Suresh Nair and Ritesh Shah
Producer: Sunil A. Lulla and Sujoy Ghosh
Cinematography: Sirsha Ray
Art Director: Sabu Cyril
Music: Vishal-Shekhar

What Worked:

Jacqueline Fernandes makes her movie debut as Jasmine and this former model is a good fit for role of cute Jasmine, and even though her dance moves need to be perfected, she pulled off the choreographies with style. Ritesh Deshmukh will have every girl’s heart skip a beat. He puts on a charming performance as the lost and bewildered Aladin who just wants to live a calm and peaceful life without any complications. Amitabh Bachchan has good comic timing while Sanjay Dutt, who plays the Ringmaster, does a great job as the movie’s villain. Where the story was weak the impressive special effects made up for it.

What Didn't:

Sometimes the jokes became a bit too predictable and a few scenes too cheesy and you almost walk away with an aftertaste of charm overload.

The Soundtrack:

The soundtrack of the film has some pretty preppy dance numbers with the song "Genie Rap" sung by the Big B himself as well as "Giri Giri" by Sanjay Dutt. Vishal-Shekhar's music is strictly okay, however too many songs in the initial reels act as roadblocks in the film.
