Rann Film Review





Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal, Mohnish Behl, Manisha Koirala, Rajat Kapoor, Gul Panag, Raima Sen

Director: Ram Gopal Varma

Producer: Madhu Mantena, Sheetal Vinod Talwar

Rating: 3.5/5

After giving many flop films, Ramgopal Varma seems to be bouncing back with his new release Rann’. Rann is a serious movie which exposes media, industrialists and politician’s connections. It also discloses media giants’ game that how they sensationalize simple news for popularity and ratings.

Written by Rohit Banawlikar ‘Rann’ is a social drama which is woven around the founder of a private news channel 24/7, Vijay Harshvardhan Malik (Amitabh Bachchan) who is a hardcore upholder of journalistic ethics. Vijay’s struggling channel is looked after by his son Jay Malik (Sudeep). Jay considers her father’s news channel purely as a business enterprise that must make profits to survive.

Vijay’s rival Amrish Kakkar (Mohnish Bahl) who was once his employee is gaining profits by making the news sensational.

The twist in the story comes when corrupt politician, Mohan Pandey (Paresh Rawal), a Prime Minister position aspirant, decides to use the channel 24/7 for his own advantage by using Vijay’s son-in-law Navin (Rajat Kapoor).

Navin who wants to be No 1 industrialist persuades Jay to make a deal with Pandey. The climax of the film is filled with great dialogues and powerful performance from Big B.

Performances of all the actors are good. Amitabh Bachchan has done full justice with his character and his dialogue delivery is quite impressive. Another actor who made his mark is Sudeep. Ritesh Deshmukh is nice in his role. But his part as investigator looks a bit confusing in the film.

Paresh Rawal, who enters in Ramu’s camp after a long gap, has delivered tremendous performance in a negative role. Rajat Kapoor is flawless. Mohnish Bahl too has given a wonderful performance.

Other actors like Neetu Chandra, Gul Panag, Nina Kulkarni, Simone Singh and Suchitra Krishnamoorthy are average. Rajpal Yadav has done a good job of adding some funny touch to a serious movie.

The strength of the film is its strong story and powerful performance. Solid dialogues are one more plus point of the film. The cinematography of Amit Roy is quite noticeable. Direction of RGV is amazing as usual. Background score of the film is impressive and music is good.

The movie gets heavy at some points which can causes boredom. There is no masala in the film so people who like light-hearted and fun-filled cinema might not appreciate the film much.

Ishqiya Film Review


Produced by Vishal Bhardwaj “Ishqiya” is another out standing movie set on the backdrop of Western Uttar Pradesh, Gorakhpur. The movie which was released on this Friday is directed by debutant director Abhishek Chaubey.

Written by Vishal Bhardwaj, Abhishek Chaubey and Sabrina Dhawan, Ishqiya is a story of love triangle between two thieves (Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi) and a widow (Vidya Balan).

Film starts with Naseeruddin Shah (Khalujaan) and Arshad Warsi (Babban), two thieves of Uttar Pradesh, running from their boss after taking off all his money. They both reach Gorakhpur, to meet an old friend but discover that he is dead. His widow, Krishna (Vidya Balan) gives them shelter. After which the story of complicated love triangle with the series of kidnappings, deaths and blow-ups starts. The climax of the film is unconventional and surprising.

On the acting front, all the three actors have given good performances. Talented actor Naseeruddin Shah as Khalujaan, 51 year old thief in the film has done full justice with his character as was expected. He has wonderfully depicted the emotion of aging lover who wants to live a peaceful life after spending many years in the world of guns and gangsters.

Arshad Warsi who is considered as the average actor, surprised everyone, he looked very convincing as young thief from Uttar Pradesh. Last but not least Vidya as Krishna has given tremendous performance. She played the role of sexy, deceptive women who seduces both men cunningly and uses them to fulfill her intentions.

Director Abhishek Chaubey made the film with full conviction and created an interesting drama with new twists. He has very tactfully served a spicy treat of comedy and suspense before audience.

Cinematographer Mohana Krishna Agapu has done marvelous job. The background score and music of film is quite nice and Vishal Bhardwaj has composed nice songs with catchy folk music touch.

The movie is sure to attract a lot of audiences specially the young college going students but some parts of the movie in which some abusive words have been used might seem offensive to family audience.

Veer Film ReviewSalman Khan’s most ambitious project “Veer” released today with a lot of expectations. Written by Salman himself, Veer is a historic epic drama set on the backdrop of British Rule in India (1875).

The movie is directed by ‘Gadar’ fame director, Anil Shrma and produced by Vijay Galani and Sunil A. Lulla. Salman starrer “Veer” is introducing a new fresh face in industry, Zarine Khan. The other cast includes big names like Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Sohail Khan and Miss UK Liza Lazarus.
The Eros International film ‘Veer’ is a periodic film set in 1875. The story of the movie is all about the valor, patriotism and passionate love of Pindari warrior Veer. Salman who said that ‘Veer’ is his dream project, completely dedicated himself in the movie. Though the story is looking like a khichdi (mixture) of Troy, Gladiator and some Hindi “Deshbhakti” (patriotic) movies.
Salman has done a lot of hard work at acting and physical front. He built stronger and firm curves for playing the main role of a warrior. He has nicely portrayed the character of a man who not only fights for his country and for love but also against conspiracy of his own tribe’s men (played by Jackie Shroff).
Salman is looking totally fit in the character. The makeup artists and art director have done full justice to make the film look like a period film.
Starting of the film is quite impressive but as the film proceeds to the part where Salman meets his lady love (Zarine Khan) at a London College, looks unreal.

Debutant actress Zarine Khan as princess Yashodhara is looking beautiful but it seems that she needs some more acting lessons. Zarine is pretty but expressionless or has just few expressions. (She sheds tears without expression of sadness on her face)
The story just before the interval is quite weird as it shows Salman killing many people because his identity is disclosed in the college campus. He returns India with severely injured brother (played by none other than but Salman’s own bro once again).
The second half of the film is just about taking revenge, punishing traitors and fulfilling promises. The climax of the film is long and boring. This time director Anil Sharma has failed to impress.
The other actors like Mithun Chakraborty, Sohail Khan, Puru Raj Kumar and Nina Gupta are ok but Jackie has done full justice to his negative role.
Cinematographer Gopal Shah has done a great job. The action director Tinu Verma added strength to the film. He has maintained the historical accuracy. He used similar battle style and body movements of the Pindari warriors.
Music of Sajid- Wajid is melodious and background score by Monty is exceptionally good.
If you are planning to watch this movie then I’ll suggest that you leave your mind at home. Just watch Salman and his great action in “Veer”.
