The film makes for a gripping watch with a crisp runtime and top-notch performances. Akshaye Khanna is intense, brooding and riveting all at once. He is simply brilliant as he owns every minute that you see him on screen. Richa Chadha follows up with an equally earnest and nuanced act. The supporting cast (Rahul Bhat, Meera Chopra, Krutika Desai) also hold their own. A special mention for Kishore Kadam who is effortless as one of the judges. Add to that, the screenplay is taut with dialogues that stand out. Overall, ‘Section 375’ is an audacious effort. It is a relevant film that tackles a complex issue and one that will engage, inform and open up debates.

The film not only provides validation to all those dismissing sexual harassment cases as having ulterior motives but also does a great disservice to women, who have only recently had the courage to risk social stigma and share their stories with the world. With every clap and hoot generated in the auditorium when Khanna speaks or as the credits roll, one can ascertain the impact of Section 375 and the recklessness and shortsightedness with which Bahl has approached the subject.

The cinematography and editing serve to keep Section 375 moody and moving at a decent pace. With Gupta’s fine writing, Section 375 does not take a shrill, moralistic stand. It also does not cave to Bollywood-ised courtroom hysteria (don’t expect grand chants of ‘Milord’), sticking to a highly charged narrative that nimbly looks at both sides of the case and, ultimately, defers to the rule of law.

Ajay Bahl’s direction is quite apt. He captivates the viewers with his storytelling and doesn’t lose their attention even once in the 120-minute duration. Also, he presents both sides quite nicely and convincingly. This is a courtroom drama but like conventional Bollywood films in this genre, the film is not made in a dramatic fashion. Yes, a lot is happening in the film but it is all done a bit more realistically. On the flip side, the second half is where the film drops a bit. One expects a film with so many unpredictable moments to end with a bang. Sadly, that doesn’t happen.

Ayushmann Khurrana continues his dream run… Full-on entertainer with dollops of humor… Garnished with witty lines… Ayushmann, Annu Kapoor terrific… Raaj Shaandilyaa’s direction hits the right chord.

While the premise of ‘Dream Girl’ is an interesting one, to begin with, it doesn’t go beyond that idea. However, director Raaj Shaandilya manages to evoke some amount of laughter in this situational comedy. But there is also a dollop of humor which treads into the bizarre, double entendre and at times offensive zone. Despite the flaws, ‘Dream Girl’ attempts to show the leading man in a different light, and manages to entertain in parts.

Dream Girl is a hilarious film and definitely something that the masses will love to watch. Despite a few flaws, it keeps you entertained but you end up expecting more from Ayushmann-Annu duo that seems quite weak. It’s a fun watch with the family or your friends.

The comedy of errors is fetching in the beginning but loses its momentum and sheen in the second half. Too many clowns spoil the Bollywood broth rings true for its climax. The makers also seem overly concerned about making this entertainer vanilla. It loses its edge in that mad rush to over-sanitize it. The seamy side of the shady phone service industry is never explored. Its sleaziness is downplayed to alarming proportions and even injects some honor into the exercise. The climax feels bloated. But in all, it’s an unthreatening film laced with noble intent.

Saaho Hindi Movie Review

Saaho Hindi Movie Review

Friday 30 August 2019

SAAHO CAST:

Prabhas, Shraddha Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Vennela Kishore

Producer: Vamsi Krishna Reddy, Pramod Uppalapati, Bhushan Kumar

Ratings:.1.5/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site: News18

Saaho, which stars Prabhas in his first screen outing since the Baahubali films, took almost two years to complete, cost roughly Rs 350 crores to make, clocks in at nearly three hours, and leaves you with the kind of pounding headache that’ll take the better part of the day to recover from. At one point in the film Chunky Pandey, who plays a nostril-flaring crime boss named Devraj, threatens someone, saying, “I will put you through a lot of pain.” He might as well be speaking to the audience.

Saaho: UNBEARABLE. A colossal waste of talent, big money and opportunity… Weak story, confusing screenplay and amateur direction.

Ratings:.— Review By: Komal Nahta Site: Zee ETC Bollywood Business

On the whole, Saaho is a soulless film which bores more than it entertains. It has superb action but also a boring and confusing script. It will, therefore, not find appreciation commensurate with its investment and canvas. It will go down in history as a film which had a huge budget but, perhaps, none for the script. After a fantastic opening day and, therefore, a fairly good first weekend, its collections will come crashing down so badly from Tuesday (after Ganesh Chaturthi holiday on Monday) that it will soon be forgotten as a dismal fare.

I know that a popcorn entertainer like Saaho isn’t driven by logic or coherence. And I would have made my peace with it if the film delivered a good time. My biggest complaint is that it’s a crashing bore. A lot of hard work has gone into creating the action and the extravagant sets. The budget is a reported 350 crores but for the viewer there’s little bang for the buck. I got through it by getting involved with the peripherals – like the many, muscled henchmen who had fascinating haircuts and tattoos. They all growled and glared into the camera. And it was a noticeably international team. In one scene, we meet baddies called the Franco Brothers. Their introduction is – inko darr hi nahin lagta. Animals also appear randomly – an ostrich, a python and a panther. It’s superbly nutty. There so much on screen and so little that sticks. I hope the next time Prabhas decides to dedicate years of his life to a project, it’s closer to Baahubali than this.

Saaho may, like so many other shrill, gory actioners of the recent past, end up make pots of money. But that will not take away from the fact that it is egregiously turgid. A Telugu superstar attempting to break into Hindi cinema should have chosen better.

Saaho hopes to achieve too many things but only ends up in a mangled mess. When a fight sequence set in a Mumbai chawl features an ostrich and a python, you’d want to smoke what the writer of this one possibly scored. But what’s more appalling is the preposterous waste of resources, especially with the economy in a slump. Do we need a battle tank in a love song? If so, do we need it to flatten vehicles on its route in the very song? Even if this was accomplished in CG, the very idea makes no sense. Marketed as a film with mind-blasting action sequences, this one has a chase or two that could keep you mildly excited. But when an undercover cop who has gone mute for a while receives a text from another saying “Are you still police?”, it’s enough to defuse the situation.

Saaho starts with the promise of a slick, high-octane actioner. Impossibly high sky-scrapers, all gilt-edged. A bunch of extremely international baddies, all togged out in designer black. Villains-in-swanky dens, swish molls, cops-in-plain-clothes-and-uniforms, bad guys who may be good, good guys who may, gasp, be very bad indeed, all in search of a huge stash of money. And helmed by Prabhas, who strode across the gigantic Baahubali canvas, cleaving a path to mythic victory.Everything a thriller needs is in here. You settle down to a non-stop, breathless, firing-from-all-cylinders ride. But Saaho turns out to be a damp squib

On the whole, SAAHO suffers from a lackadaisical script and a vacuous screenplay. At the box-office, it is bound to have a huge start and a good extended weekend due to tremendous hype and the fan following of the lead cast but will face obstacles post the weekend.

Prabhas no doubt has the charisma and the swagger to make Saaho likeable. He plays it with enough gravitas to make us want to believe in him, but the script and action sequences are tailored to elicit jeers (or looks of horror/disbelief). At this point we need to acknowledge that certain sections of the audience were having a ball, cheering on their superstar and whistling and applauding his every move. Such fandom indeed is the only redeeming factor that can salvage this movie. Prabhas owes his fans big time if Saaho ends up creating any sort of record at the box office.

Ratings:.2.5/5 Review By: Ronak Site: Times Of India

‘Saaho’ surely delivers well as an action extravaganza with an adrenaline pumping climax. The film’s second half picks pace, but is marred by a weak narrative that requires constant suspension of disbelief. Also, the special effects and CGI often lack the finesse that a film mounted on such a grand scale deserved. Overall, ‘Saaho’ is quite the potboiler that fires in all directions in an attempt to entertain the audience. But with a weak storyline, too many twists and juvenile execution, it ends up being a missed opportunity.

 BATLA HOUSE CRitics Review:

Ratings:.2.5/5 Review By: Saibal Site: NDTV

Batla House held together by a steady and solid star turn by John Abraham, leaves you with a feeling that it had the potential to be an absolute humdinger. But stray flashes apart, the dramatised true story drifts too far from the heart of the matter without delivering the expected drama. All said and done, the lead actor delivers, so his fans have no reason not to watch Batla House.

Ratings:.3.5/5 Review By: Rohit Vats Site: News18

Apart from a scene or two, in which Abraham plays to the gallery without any qualms, Batla House presents him as an able actor with good understanding of the milieu he is operating in. Just that, don’t look for legitimacy at every juncture.Batla House has ingredients to keep you engaged for more than 140 minutes, provided which side are you on—activists who still smell a foul play or police that claims to have not heard of anything substantial from Indian Mujahideen after that September encounter!

Ratings:.3.5/5 Review By: Sreeparna Site: Times Of India

Nikkhil Advani’s ‘Batla House’ attempts to balance out the narrative without taking any apparent sides. And yet packs in the right dose of patriotism with the story of an honest ACP at its center. Paced as a thriller, for most part the film stays true to the genre. Batla House plays out as a taut film with the tension entwined throughout, leaving you with knots in the stomach.The brilliantly choreographed action and chase sequences ensure several edge of the seat moments. Where Batla House falters is in the second half, when the proceedings slacken with the court room drama slowing it down further.

Ratings:.3/5 Review By: Kunal Guha Site: Mumbai Mirror

Inspired by the 2008 Batla House encounter, this Independence Day action-thriller delivers on various counts. It urges one to consider the precarious position that encounter cops often find themselves in — the absence of sufficient evidence to back an operation dubs them trigger-happy brutes, while inaction can have the barrel turned towards them. But the film’s biggest achievement is managing to get John Abraham to convey his conflicted character’s inner turmoil.

Thumping background music accentuates drama, emotional angst and suspense. In true Bollywood style, a typical item number pops up as does a ballad. Yet Batla House feels burdened by its patriotic ambitions and by repetition (including numerous frames of police officers exchanging side-long glances). This pushes the running time to over 140 minutes, and comprises its core story with superfluous Bollywood-isation.Advani is most in form in the action scenes – shoot-outs and chase sequences — which is what one expects from the director of the finely made D-Day.
