WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Film: RGV ki AAG


Dir: RGV


*ing: Amitabh Bachhan(introducing as Babban), Ajay Devgan, Prashant Raj, Nisha Kothari, Sushmita Sen, Mohanlal, Sushant Singh, Rajpal Yadav, Urmila Matondkar (Mehbooba) and Abhishek Bacchan( special App)


Banner: RGV


Rating: 1/4 (one fourth of a star on 5)


REVIEW:

Writing more than two paragraph is waste my and the readers precious time. What on earth does RGV think he is doing making such a film inspired from an all time commercial classic. Wasn't bacchan saab given a narration of the script?? If he was what prompted him to be introduced as Babban?? though Gabbar always fascinated him is a well known fact.


The script, direction and acting are the biggest culprits. A noted critic praises Devgan well I thought Devgan had lost all the interest in the film rite from day one. Just try to find a semblance of rescemblance between Jai- Veeru and Heero- (I forget the name). Babban is one of the LEGEND's biggest blunders. Sushmita is wasted and miscast. Nisha Kothari tries her best to be the new Basanti but she shd refrain from such wasted efforts in future. Mohanlal is the only one who can be given positive marks. Music is nowhere near the influence of Ye dosti, Koi hasina. Mehbooba is bearable but not Abhishek. I think he visited the sets and by mistake was in front of the camera. Background score hams to take emotions out of you but the script has nothing. Sound mixing and editing are horrible. Camera work is good but there is a overuse of fast movements which were not required. On the whole this one is a worst attempt to spoof SHOLAY. STAY AWAY!!!!

HEYY BABY


Film: Heyy Baby


Dir: Sajid Khan


Starring: Akshay Kumar, Ritiesh, Fardeen Khan, Vidya Balan, Boman Irani


Banner: Nadiadwala and Grandsons


Rating:***


REVIEW


They say its a lift from a holly flick and a marathi movie. I dont mind bcoz i have not seen either. Coming now to heyy baby, this delivery by Sajid Nadiadwala (as said by the promos) is again a good comedy after Partner. There are sequences that make u fall off the seat. Just as there used to be previously a relief comedy this film has relief tragedy which is as good and as eye moistening as any good film.


The movie is about 3 friends and their encounter with a baby - a girl whi makes them cry. Whose baby is it? well watch the movie for that.


As the film took off I was cursing Sajid Khan bcoz once i read that this was a film entire family could enjoy. But for the initial 15-20 minutes I thought that this one is gonna be cheaper than MASTI but pleasently not to be.


After the initial reel or so the film makes you giggle. The ANGEL is really cute. And the gags with Angel and her fathers are amazing. The pre interval portion appeals to the EQ as well. Some scenes manage to send goose mums to you. Ditto for the second half.


Well the films technicalities are competent. Good story to build on, decent dialouges, great pj's, and some chartbuster tracks!!! Direction needs a special mention. Sajids direction is really very mature.


Performance wise Akshaye, Ritiesh,Vidya, Boman and to spring in a surprise Fardeen are in great form. Their expressions are really amazing. Fardeen Khan needs a special mention about the Parimal episode. Anupam Kher is decent but has not much footage. SRK is a forgettable affair after Chak De India. But the film belongs to baby Angel.


On the whole the film is worth a watch. Not a masterpiece but a good entertainer. Thumbs up to both the Sajids.
