The Worst Film Ever

Powerful

One of my all time favorites.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

First of all if you like Bollywood masala without story then this is the one for you. Please do not consider my rating.Story .. nothing. Few comedy scenes are there to keep you awake throughout the movie. There is something in climax which I am not revealing. It is the only thing which makes you believe that movie has a story (actually there isn't if you ponder a bit). Acting is good by most of the characters. There are many stupid things. For example, Son cannot afford the hospital expense for the father who is an ex serviceman. Hello... where is free medical and other facilities for ex-servicemen??Overall, if you like selected entertaining movies, this is not a choice. If you like movies where you need to use your brain, this is not a movie for you.If you like typical monotonous movie with stupid things in it you should go for it; or if you watch all movies from "A class" banners in Bollywood, you should go for it.I would recommend not to watch with children or young as there is lot of drugs shown (even oldies take drugs!!) without any warnings in the movie.

A brilliantly written, directed, acted and edited movie that will resonate strongly with you-no matter at which end of the craziness spectrum your family behaves. From the very first scene, all the characters feel extremely real in the way they talk, dress, address each other, laugh with or at each other or even taunt each other. It feels like that character is you-or at least if not you it is someone else in your family. The director makes you feel like you are a part of that family and that sense of belonging makes you even more invested in those characters.A real film full of raw, unadulterated emotions.

After a long time, I watched a Hindi film and it turned out to be a film that I can lend my criticism to. First thing first, it reminds me of Death at a Funeral! And it also reminded me of This is where I leave you.Now I was not expecting Dharma Production to go beyond mediocrity of the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai-s and the Student of the Year-s of the world... but with this one and a few other such ventures, they have tried to redefine their brand or must I say it is the influence of the 20th century fox collaboration...The movie as a whole was not bad, maybe didn't really suit the taste of the shallow Indian audience, but it was not the worst of the season.The movie however was full of scenes curated in cliché manner, induced into what we can call a decent plot. Then there are the Dharma production influence to introduce the audience some ideologies which the film house subscribes to, but it all falls into place. It is not really new, but this old wine in new bottle is refreshing, thanks to some decent performances and good handling and development of characters for the script. Acting is not as much a paralytic constrain in today's film industry in here as it used to be some years back.Rishi Kapoor was the best of the lot, Alia Bhatt impressed me with her rendition of the cliché- parents died in the plane crash role given to her. I think her role was initially stretched too far then completely forgotten. The director didn't spend a lot of time innovating the characters of either Rajat Kapoor or Siddharth Malhotra, they both were as if playing a character they left behind in their last film. While Kapoor can have a claim to acting prowess, this is the limit Malhotra can reach with his capabilities as a performer. Ratna Pathak was good, she has always been good at what she does on screen. The courage of Fawad Khan to take up the role that has a Dharma Ideology stamp took me by surprise... he was not really extraordinary and he didn't really do much different than what he did in the other movie, Khoobsurat! The peripheral characters were all too cliché and with them around Coonnoor didn't really seem like it was in South, but more like it is somewhere in Himachal.And for everything that is coming out of Bollywood, does it really have to Punjabi? Agreed that everyone wants to become as full of life as the Punjabi in their best of dreams, I mean no offense to the state and its rich culture and brilliant people, it is high time that people start showing other states and the associated culture in their renditions... for a change?Dialogue delivery was a concern, each of the character playing Kapoors had a different style despite being from the same family which was odd. Alia Bhatt didn't sound Mumbai-kar in her role either. And Siddharth Malhotra doesn't have another way to speak his lines anyways.This is at the end of the day a short novel material taken from a good movie from abroad... and lacked depth, more in the essence than the rendition and justifications that the actors try to bring to the table.Over all, enjoyable watch...

Why I'm suggesting this? Or reviewing it at 2:00 p.m. late night? Because it's worth enjoying! I just loved Rishi Kapoor and Alia Bhatt being so adorable as old ~ young combo in the film. Rajat, Siddharth, Fawad are acceptable and perfectly matched. In every family, there are issues and fights. But family is the only place where you can be perfect in your imperfections. The film is like a food item which gives you not only its looks and taste but also the nutrients to have a healthy life. Music is soft, location is something which I love the most, and all the actors have done their best. It's one of those off beats of Bollywood which mustn't be missed by true cine lovers. You'll get fresh and fine after watching this!
