Thanks for the memories!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
This movie looks like its been made for the front benchers ,so we decided to watch it from the front bench ........okay I am lying .......there was no advance booking done today ,so we had to take the only available seats .Both Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika Padukone are lower middle class Maharashtrians living in a chawl in Tilakwadi in Mumbai .Difference--While Neil is a Lafangaa ( what else ? ) working for the local goon Usmanbhai , and other boys in the neighbourhood including Deepika's brother waste their time horsing about in the gullies ,Deepika dreams about getting out of the rut of lower class existence and making it big as a skate-dancer...............until her dreams are shattered by an accident and she turns to Neil to restore them ........not knowing that he harbours a deadly secret......Deepika certainly plays the role of a tough-talking street smart girl well , daring to claim that she is the one who makes passes on her dance trainer because he doesn't...........and looks as good as she has in her every film......and dances great too.........Sadly , the rest of the film doesn't match her...........its rather mediocre......The Mumbai street language of the chawls has been a bit overdone .......Neils acting is just about okay......music is not worth talking about........ending is insipid.......
A very poor adaptation of 1978 English movie "Ice Castles". The protagonist in the English movie is an ice skater while Deepika's character here is a roller skater. They both turn blind due to an accident. While in the English movie the blindness is due to her fault, the Bollywood version tends to add a cinematic touch with the person responsible being her would be boyfriend, Nitin character. The story is very predictable. The characters don't stand up. Neither are the songs good. Acting skills of Nitin and Deepika are miserable.What could have been a challenging role for the key characters turns out to be stereotypical oft-repeated Bollywood mantra.
I was really quite hesitant to watch this movie at first.I mean ,it had bikes and gangsters and there was a girl.It was such a cliché at first glance,but since I believe that Neil Nitein Mukesh has always managed to amaze me in each and every film,I decided to go against my guts. And as usual I was blown away by Neil's performance.Yes,the storyline was undeniably predictable all the way but it wasn't that much of a cliché.There was still some very good scenes,like for example when Munna dunked Pinky into the water.Did I mention how good Neil is,he is.I think he's one of the most underrated actor in BOllywood.I really wasn't quite surprised to find that he pulled of his character with conviction.Deepika as the blind heroine also should be given a mention,To me, Deepika was always a pretty girl but she held her own beside the oh so amazing Neil Nitein Mukesh.Her stubborn blind girl act is definitely way better than the bimbo head she played in Houseful. I enjoyed the songs especially Man Lafanga and the stunts were good,since I'm no stunt buff(whatever you call it)and I don't think I should mention to much of it,but overall the movie is definitely a good watch.
The album 'Lafangey Pariendey' has seven songs written by Swanand Kirkire and composed by R.Anandh, the famous ad jingle composer.The album opens with the song 'Lafangey Parindey' by Ronit Sarkar. The songs starts with an Arabian music and then the fast beat starts. It plays its role right as the title song. Then comes 'Man Lafanga' by Mohit Chouhan which has a soft track and is easy on ears. Mohit does his job very well. Next comes 'Dhatad Tatad' by Shail Hada and Anushka Manchanda. It is a dance music and the audience can not but stop tapping their foot with this cheerful song. After that there is a soft song 'Nain Parindey' by Shilpa Rao. Audience will feel calm hearing this song and probably it is the best song in the album. Shilpa's voice seems to have turned magical in this song. Then 'Rang Daalein' comes next by Suuraj Jagan. It is another song with hard music and the song is very youthful. Suraj does his job quite well. After that comes 'Born to fly' which is an instrumental and it is ideal for ballad dance. It has two parts. The first part has a slow, dreamy beat and the second part is a mixture of the beats of the other hard music of this album. The last song of the album is the club mix of 'Man lafanga' by Joshiley . It's first beat pleases the audience. The album will surely pass with the letter marks from the audience.
