About Movie & Review
Do not get deceived by the modest face-value of Shakal Pe Mat Ja assuming it to be of the low-on-star value but high-on-humour quotient varieties. The film starts as a seeming spin-off on last year's cult-comedy Tere Bin Laden but ends up being a commotional comedy-of-errors (rather erroneous comedy) treading into the Priyadarshan-Anees Bazmee zone.
So the film's actor-writer-director Shubh Mukherjee plays Aniket, who with his group of friends, aspires to make a documentary film on terror attacks. And you can actually see Aniket's attempt at making a college project film resulting into an amateurish filmmaking attempt by Shubh Mukherjee.
While taking random video shots within the international airport vicinity, the boys are taken into custody by police and detained at airport under suspicion of being terrorists. A potbellied anti-terrorist officer (Saurabh Shukla) comes to investigate. Amidst all this, one Omama Bin Laden, who heads some terrorist group Al Bakaida, is planning an actual attack at the airport.
Noise, disorder and confusion ensue for hours until Shubh comes to the point - to launch himself as the hero. And for that he just has to diffuse a bomb by snipping off one of the red-green-blue wires - a trademark gimmick of the 80s potboilers. Only if bomb diffusing and filmmaking were so easy, a lot more souls would have been saved.
Despite starting on a promising premise, writer-director Shubh Mukherjee isn't able to develop the plot in an interesting way and the potential for a fresh comedy is substituted by a formulaic film. The boys remain detained for more that half of the film and with nothing substantial happening through their confinement (other than repeated and redundant interrogation sessions), the narrative turns static and one-dimensional. The remaining film turns into a (supposed) comedy of mistaken identities inside the airport premises with beings and bags shifting hands every ten minutes.
The tone of the comedy, though not slapstick, is juvenile, inconsistent and ineffective at places. Neither is it supported by witty lines, nor by good comic-timed performances. The second half goes on and on and seems like an endless exercise where every character shouts their lungs out. An India-Pakistan live cricket match that plays in parallel has no relevance whatsoever with the central plot.
Shubh Mukherjee makes an earnest effort but gets the tone of humour wrong as the director. As an actor his dialogue delivery is suggestive of Shahid Kapoor, his acting is reminiscent of Riteish Deshmukh but, in totality, he comes across as a cheap imitation of Ali Zafar. Chitrak Bandhopadyay, employed as a prototype to the fat-bearded comic sidekick in films like Hangover or Delhi Belly, is not half as amusing. The only thing he makes noise for is his flatulent farting and fake firang accent. Child actor Pratik Katare isn't partially as funny as he was in Paa. Harsh Parekh lacks screen presence. Saurabh Shukla keeps 'shouting' at everyone around to lower their voice. Raghuvir Yadav appears malnourished. Pretty face Umang Jain is underused in an inconsequential role (once again after Love Breakups Zindagi). Aamna Shariff is hardly there. And why is Joy Sengupta even there.
Shakal Pe Mat Ja is a brilliant movie which will make you laugh from the first minute to the end!!
Producer: Dhilin Mehta
Director: Imtiaz Ali
Music: A. R. Rahman
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
Release Date: 11-Nov-2011
Cast:
Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis Fakhri, Shikha Jain, Jaideep Ahlawat, Aditi Rao Hydari, Piyush Mishra, Shammi Kapoor
In the film, Ranbir Kapoor is advised that to be a true-blue artist and a real rockstar he has to experience pain, which will come through heartbreak. If we go by this theory, most audiences of this film will walk out of the hall as rockstars, since the movie will largely leave them heartbroken. But for heartbreak, it is imperative to fall in love first and that's exactly what director Imtiaz Ali does. He starts off the film on a promising note and just when you fall in love with the amazing first half, the narrative nosedives with a stagnant second half.
So you have the naive Janardhan Jakhar (Ranbir Kapoor) who aspires to be a rockstar like Jim Morrison. His yearning for heartbreak gets him close to Heer (Nargis Fakhri), as they bond over soft-porn cinema and country liquor. Soon after, the girl is married off to some NRI, the boy is thrown out of his house, he seeks solace in a dargah and next you know he's a singing sensation rechristened as Jordan.
A foreign tour reunites him with Heer and their passive passion rekindles until Jordan is obsessed with her. What follows is another tribute to Devdas or rather Dev.D with the neurotic, lovelorn protagonist unable to get over his mixed emotions and confused definition of love. But that's not all as the plot meanders to culminate into an undesired arena of Erich Segal's Love Story.
Imtiaz Ali is known for his old-wine-in-new-bottle brand of cinema. Rockstar is very much engaging as far as it is in that familiar territory, where the director adds a refreshing touch to the regular romance drama. The casual chemistry that he induces between the lead pair through their wacky and eventful escapades has its moments of charm. The passion-play between them when they reunite after years is spontaneous, smoldering and yet tastefully achieved. Their reunion is also faintly reminiscent of the Jab We Met reunion, where the character-conduct is reversed with the burbling boy now trying to make the gloomy girl's life more exciting. And like Love Aaj Kal, Imtiaz Ali kick-starts the film with a montage song highlighting select significant sequences from the entire film.
But beyond that when the director ventures into uncharted zone, the narrative loses track. While one can still overlook the Dev.D influenced intoxicating attitude of the proceedings (which you can somehow attribute to the convoluted rockstar protagonist), the subsequent terminal illness conflict takes the film towards an unwelcome and undefined end. After an interesting graph to the narrative in the first half, the story almost turns stationary in the second half. The screenplay seems stretched and gets monotonous with repetitive media-bashing scenes and flashback shots of what has been already served to you.
Another problem with the plot is that it is neither a standalone story about the rise-of-an-underdog who becomes the biggest rockstar nor is it merely a love story with a rockstar backdrop. The director somewhere attempts to correlate the rockstar's rise with his romance but isn't able to achieve that impeccably. In fact the original one-liner plot with which the movie starts (a painful heartbreak gets out the real artist inside you) goes for a complete toss by the end. One can never clearly perceive when Jordan's heart is broken in the assorted scheme of events and that's where the film loses objectivity.
The storytelling pattern of the film is needlessly intricate for a simple romance-drama genre. While it is very much linear, the frequent use of multiple montages can have you confused. Initially the montages aid brisk storytelling but subsequently there are so much of them that it gets puzzling. Editing the film would surely have been a difficult task. Anil Mehta's cinematography is brilliant as he captures the beauty of Kashmir, Italy and Delhi with panache. AR Rahman's wide range of music has numbers which are instantly infectious (Sadda Haq) and others that take time to grow on you.
If Rockstar keeps you engaged even after you have given up on the story by the end, it is only because of Ranbir Kapoor. From his innocence in the opening reels to his arrogance in the climax, Ranbir breathes life into Jordan and keeps you riveted. Whether he adlibs his songs, gives a dance-tribute to Shammi Kapoor or dictates the concert crowd, Ranbir gives cent percent to his character. How much ever you try to ignore, but Nargis Fakhri fervently reminds of Katrina Kaif through her looks, acting, lip movements (and seemingly also has the same voice dubbing artist). Nevertheless she is likeable and shares good chemistry with Ranbir. Kumud Mishra as Jordan's advisor-turned-manager is impressive. Aditi Rao Hydari is confident but marred by a short-lived character. Piyush Mishra makes for an animated-yet-interesting negative lead. And it's pleasing to see Shammi Kapoor is his last decent cameo.
Rockstar rocks you but only partially thanks to the star called Ranbir Kapoor.
About the Music:
There are tremendous expectations from the soundtrack of Rockstar. Reasons are aplenty. This is more than a decade after Taal that A.R. Rahman is composing for a full fledged Bollywood musical. The film is directed by Imtiaz Ali whose Love Aaj Kal and Jab We Met have created waves when it comes to music (composed by Pritam). Moreover the young man in the title role is Ranbir Kapoor who is expected to be a true ‘rockstar’ in the title role. With ever-so-reliable Irshad Kamil as the lyricist, one expects nothing less than something extraordinary from Rockstar. Moreover, due to the film’s genre, you do want the album to throw at least 3-4 chartbuster tracks that would play for many more months to come, if not years. With as many as 14 tracks in the album, one is obviously led to believe that your wish would indeed come true
Special Thing about Rockstar:
Do not miss a brief glimpse of the legendary Shammi Kapoor - this is one his last films (if not the last one ?). Watch Ranbir Kapoor alongside gorgeous fresh face actress Nargis Fakhri. Nargis Fakhri is a Czech-Pakistani international model.

Movie Review:
Loot lives up to its name. The film is a frame-by-frame rip-off of the Hollywood flick Crime Spree(2003) with not a single scene added or subtracted from its screenplay. Yet it doesn't offer the zillionth fraction of entertainment value that the original crime-comedy did. And it's not just the been-there-seen-that factor which disappoints. Well-made remakes have qualified to be decent watch. But if producer-actor Suneil Shetty believes that merely remaking a Hollywood crime thriller starringMahesh Manjrekar and himself makes for anotherKaante, he is certainly mistaken. Govinda's comic timing is perfect. The actor, as always carries off the comic sequences entirely on his shoulders. Suniel Shetty is very good and so is Jaaved Jaaferi.
Mahakshay is not impressive enough. While Mika does a decent job, Shweta Bhardwaj and Kim Sharma have nothing much to do in Loot. The other stars in the film have done an average job. Dalip Tahhil leaves a mark. Razak Khan has his moments. Prem Chopra makes his presence felt. Shehzaad Khan and the others provide ordinary support. Shabbir’s story is so juvenile that it's a wonder, a film has been based on it. The screenplay, also penned by Shabbir, is so slipshod and irritating that the audience is barely able to get involved in the drama. There are absolutely meaningless scenes like, for instance, the foursome questioning Tanya about why she had sent them to the wrong house to rob it. This question makes no sense after it is revealed that Batliwala had fooled the foursome. The screenplay writer seems to have intentionally made it so convoluted that the entertainment factor barely surfaces.
Even otherwise, the rhyming and weird dialogues (penned by Rajneesh Thakur) serve to be the best tools for entertaining the audience but they actually serve to irritate them more than entertaining them. In fact, so childish and forced are the screenplay and dialogues that the drama gets on the viewers’ nerves. Rajneesh Thakur’s direction is dull and routine. He has been able to make the film neither an entertaining drama nor an exciting fare. Music (Shravan Sinha, Mika Singh and Shamir Tandon) is average. Lyrics (Shravan Sinha, Mika Singh and Shabbir Ahmed) are routine. Choreography, by Remo D’souza and Nadeem Khan, is pedestrian. T. Surendra Reddy’s camerawork is passable. Action (Allan Amin) is functional. Editing (Ashok Honda) should' ve been sharper.

Review Of Movie:-
One has absolutely no clue around where did this film arrive from. A non-star cast affair made of debutants with a new director as well as the composers (Vipin Patwa, Reeky) and lyricists team, Ye Stupid Pyar has arrived out of nowhere and makes you wonder if there would indeed be something worthwhile in the offering here. Nevertheless with fair deal of apprehension one plays on the album, only to be pleasantly surprised with the final outcome which turns out to be fairly decent with melody at the core of it all.
As mentioned at the very beginning of this review, Ye Stupid Pyar springs a pleasant surprise as it isn't a pushover that one would have expected it to be. While none of the songs here makes one look the other way, what helps its cause are 3-4 tracks that actually end up registering a good impact. Demand of the situation here is for the makers to begin promoting this album heavily so that it gets the kind of audience that it deserves. If pitched well, this one could well register an impact amongst the youth.

Movie Review:
To build expectations of any sort whatsoever, one has to be aware of the product at the least. In case of I Am Singh, one doesn't have any clue whatsoever around where did the film actually arrive from. Add to that the fact that it is a non-starcast affair and there are further apprehensions around what the music would indeed have in store here. With multiple composers creating a song or two apiece, 'I Am Singh' is a loaded album with as many as 10 tracks in it.
Next to arrive is the title song 'I Am Singh' which in its very treatment and flavour is different from the likes of 'Singh Is Kinng' or 'Shera Di Kaum' [Speedy Singhs]. This one is much more rooted in its appeal and has a 'desi' mood and feel to it. Composed by Sumitra Iyer and written by Raj Hans, 'I Am Singh'is a Punjabi track that sees the coming together of Daler Mehndi, Sukhwinder Singh and Hard Kaur.
Though in first few listening it does lend a sense of deja vu, 'I Am Singh' does settle down after a while due to its boisterous and celebratory mood. Yet another song that lasts close to 7 minutes, it is also accompanied by a relatively shorter (four minutes long) 'Video Edit' version.
Though one didn't have any set expectations from I Am Singh to begin with, it turns out to be reasonably okay, though predictable, soundtrack. Given the fact that the album has arrived virtually unannounced on the stands, it is bound to struggle when it comes to making its presence felt amongst the listeners. However with a couple of Punjabi tracks expected to find their target audience, it may just manage to impress its target audience.
