TERAA SURROOR

TERAA SURROOR: is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language action-drama film directed by Shawn Arranha starring Himesh Reshammiya and Farah Karimaee ,Naseeruddin Shah, Shekhar Kapur, Kabir Bedi, and Monica Dogra.

PLOT: Raghu (Himesh) is a tough Mumbai gangster who never smiles.Tara (Farah Karimaee) is Raghu’s girlfriend, and she and her mother live in his house.Tara arrives in Dublin as a certain 'Aniruddh Brahmin', the stranger who met Tara on Facebook,invited her to perform on 'India Day' in Dublin.She is caught in Ireland with drugs in her possession. She is convicted.Tara calls Raghu for help.Raghu comes across Enrique Santiago aka 'The Bird' (Naseeruddin Shah), known for his innumerable jail breaks chalks out a plan for Raghu.Will Raghu be able to execute the jailbreak plan,who is the real Aniruddh Brahmin and what was the reason behind him falsely framing Tara in the drugs case is what forms the rest of the story.

PERFORMANCES: The film totally tends to rest on the shoulders of Himesh Reshammiya.His attempt to 'get into the skin of the character' really shows on the screen when we see him flaunting a toned body as per the requirement of his character but remains blank-faced through it all, never cracking a single smile, not even when he is with his girl.Farah Karimaee is not at all impressive.The trio of Kabir Bedi, Shekhar Kapur and Monica Dogra, despite their brief roles, deliver decent performances.

MUSIC: composed by Himesh Reshammiya.Tracks like 'Bekhudi', 'Main Woh Chand', 'Wafa Ne Bewafai' are good.There are catchy songs for every mood and occasion in the script – love song, break-up number, dance track, sad song, redemption song

Himesh Reshammiya has tried hard, but it’s still not working for him.Neither suspenseful in its execution of the escape, nor in the big reveal of the mastermind behind Raghu’s problems, the film seems to exist for no other purpose than to showcase Himesh and his limited talent.His last release 'The Xpose' was better than this film.

Overall,Teraa Surroor is totally disaster film.

JAI GANGAAJAL

JAI GANGAAJAL: is a 2016 Indian Hindi action drama film, directed by Prakash Jha. It is a sequel of the 2003 crime film Gangaajal, and stars Priyanka Chopra,Prakash Jha,Manav Kaul, Rahul Bhat and Queen Harish.

PLOT: Bablu Pandey(Manav Kaul) the MLA of Bankipur district and his brother Dablu Pandey(Ninad Kamat) run a jungle raaj in their town of Lakhisarai.Bhola Nath Singh aka B.N. Singh(Prakash Jha) is a corrupt circle inspector who has helped the brothers for a long time and using legal loopholes and other corrupt ways to keep them out of harms way in return for financial and political support.The home minister of the party appoints SP Abha Mathur(Priyanka Chopra) as the SP expecting her to be soft on criminals and supportive of her mentor who is the home minister.But she goes all out against the criminal brothers.Will Abha Mathur be able to eradicate corruption and other crimes from the town,what difficulties she has to face,how will she manage are rest of the story.

PERFORMANCES: It is undoubtedly Priyanka Chopra who steals the show.Her intimidating screen persona and presence, she delivers a superlative performance, even though it may not qualify to be her career-best.Prakash Jha is impressive, looks fit and speaks well but is completely stiffen during action scenes.Manav Kaul makes no mistakes in getting into the 'skin of his character'.Ninad Kamath, on the other hand, delivers a decent performance.

MUSIC: composed by Salim- Suleiman.has nothing much to boast about, it's the film's background score that works with the narrative.

The storyline of Jai Gangaajal doesn’t offer anything that you haven’t seen before.It is a predictable police drama filled with the usual stereotypes but added that Priyanka Chopra and Prakash Jha's performances engaging.

Overall,Jai Gangaajal is a not up to the mark film & this is one time watch only.

NEERJA

NEERJA: is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language biographical thriller film directed by Ram Madhvani starring Sonam Kapoor, Shabana Azmi, Yogendra Tikku, Shekhar Ravjiani.

PLOT: Neerja Bhanot (Sonam Kapoor) is the purser at Pan Am Flight 73 Airlines.She's also a successful model living with her doting mother Rama Bhanot (Shabana Azmi),an ever encouraging father Harish Bhanot (Yogendra Tiku) two brothers in mumbai.Neerja had earlier been in an abusive marriage.The ill-fated flight to New York on which Neerja is the head purser gets hijacked in Karachi by the Libya backed 4 armed Palestinians of the Abu Nidal terrorist group.Her extraordinary courage and presence of mind saved the lives of most of the passengers as she put others before herself.She would have celebrated her 24th birthday on the 7th of September, 1986. Instead, her bullet-ridden body comes back to her devastated family.

PERFORMANCES: Sonam Kapoor has delivered the best performance of a lifetime. she carries it entirely on her shoulder. She looks earnest, scared, benevolent and bold, all at the same time.Shabana Azmi adds another feather to her illustrious cap. The entertaining way in which she speaks Punjabi, the state of temporarily losing one's mind and the way she becomes Rama Bhanot is a good enough reason in itself to watch the film. Yogendra Tiku as Harish Bhanot is very effective in instilling fearlessness in his daughter. One of the terrorists by the name of Khalil looks every bit a hard core terrorist with a maniacal bent of mind.

MUSIC: is composed by Vishal Khurana.'Jeete Hain Chal' and 'Gehra Ishq' are wonderful compositions.

Saiwyn Quadras' smart and gripping screenplay is the backbone of Neerja.Each element, from the narrative structure to the recreation of a 1980s aeroplane, the costumes, styling and Vishal Khurana’s excellent background score are directed towards giving the film its authentic feel.

At 122-minutes, the film stretches towards the end, but you are helplessly ensnared in its magic.

Overall, Neerja is a MUST MUST MUST watch film.Don't you dare to miss this film.
