Which is the last Bollywood film you saw ?

Nerd....Padam paathacha

[Sunil_M88]

Bearing in mind I haven't seen the originals, out of the all the recent Southern remade cop films, my liking order is.

1. Rowdy Rathore (RR)
2. Force
3. Singham

It was tough deciding between the former two but I definitely knew Singham would be last. From the promos I liked Singham the most and not RR, but after watching the respective films my views have changed. Kudos to Prabhu deva for resurrecting Action Kumar.

Relady Rathore: Don't angry me

Not bad. Padam Ragalaiya dhan irunduchu. Akshay kumar'kku paravalla comedy nallave varudhu. Sonakshi Singaaaa . Love at first sight madhiri i am fan at first sight since seeing dabangg intro. Crowd was enjoying it very well.

You’re strongly welcome

Sonakshi summa gumnu iruka surprised that shes not bother abt her weight

I liked Kahaani. But the movie borrowed lot from several movies especially Ray's Charulata that I could easily remember. Vidya Balan is excellent in this movie. The movie is very engaging that I hardly get in Hindi movies.

Shanghai

I don't usually go for these kinda movies. This movie should not be missed.

Just saw Shangai. I have always liked Dibakar Banerjee's films and Shangai is no exception. His way of detailing his characters is very good and I guess thats the reason we get to understand his characters in flesh and blood. Well the performances do help in this regard. But just that Dibaker strikes an extra chord in terms .So in the almost every character has been etched in a very vivid manner.

Pluses

Dibaker banerjee's direction- A very predictable story, but not once are we left at lurch. He's made sure that he keeps the audience attention in check. Moreover his intelligent use of subtle humor even in places of frim is commendable. The enquiry scene where a boy enters a room to catch his basketball completely oblivious to the fact that an investigation's going on , followed up by how both Abhay and kalki slip on the wet floor are all testimony to this.

Abhay Deol- another portrayal that this guy can be proud of. Its not easy to portray a man who's seemingly calm but has a storm brewing over in the inside and abhay nails it perfectly. His body language is remarkable throughout and half of the credit should go I guess again to Dibaker. His portrayal of a tamil guy is way better than the disdainful stereotypes we've seen over the years

Emraan hashmi- It was a good performance...possibly the guy's best and it does work in the favour of the movie

Half a dozen great performances - Supriya Pathak, Prosenjit chatterjee, Pitobash Tripathy, Farooq Sheikh

Minuses-

Kalki Koechlin- Be it the character or the portrayal. Possibly the weakest link of the movie . There is one redeeming scene in the end though, that actually elevates her character from gross uni- dimensionality , but just

Songs- Two item numbers. Well that's what I call them. They had no purpose what so ever.

Rowdy rathore is far better than Siruthai..

No more mokkai..

Punch dialogue na semma..

1. Jo mein bolta hoon woh mein karta hoon, joh mein nahi bolta.. woh main definitely karta hoon!

2. Apun ka fatka, char sau chalis ka jatka

3. Saale jahan Amol Palekar banna chahiye, wahan Shakti Kapoor banjata hai

Akki's both characters had me in stitches LOL He's a complete revelation in this movie and his comic timing is simply flawless but he balances it well with the superb action scenes. Take a bow Akki Sir!

Nice Analysis

Bang on about the humor. I'd like to add the scene when Emran tells Kalki not to sit on the bed. Subtle and very funny!

WRT the songs, I feel Shanghai and Kahaani (also by VS) are some what similar. As films, they both have little or no songs and nevertheless the OSTs are on par with the films. The two depts. i.e. story and music both excel with perfection for the respective films. It's a pity they could not be merged, but it's understandable.
