PERFORMANCES: without any doubt,Big B's acting steals the show.He not only acts but also lives the character.It won't be wrong to say that, with PINK, Amitabh Bachchan has not just delivered an immensely memorable performance, but also one of his career best performances.Taapsee Pannu, who manages to 'earn her place under the sun' with her sincere portrayal of Meenal.She is just brilliant.Kirti Kulhari delivers a rock solid performance.Andrea Tariang does a very good job too.Dhritiman Chatterjee is extremely convincing in the role of the judge.

MUSIC: composed by Shantanu Moitra,While the film has absolutely no scope for music its background score (Shantanu Moitra) is extremely haunting and creates the ambience for the film.The song "Kaari Kaari" is absolute perfect for this movie.

The film has some hard hitting dialogues (Ritesh Shah), which elevates the situations and the corresponding elements.Outstanding direction,very good script helped the film to meet the expectation.



Overall,Pink is a must must must watch film.One of best films of 2016.

BAR BAR DEKHO



BAR BAR DEKHO : is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Nitya Mehra starring Katrina Kaif, Siddharth Malhotra, Ram Kapoor, Sarika & Rajit Kapur.

PLOT: The film starts off with the birth of Jai Verma and Diya Kapoor in Delhi and London respectively. Post that, Diya Kapoor's family settles down in India. As 'time' progresses, Jai and Diya grow up together and fall in love with each other. After years of knowing each other, one day, when 'painter' Dia proposes marriage to the 'Maths obsessed Professor' Jai, he becomes petrified with the very thought of marriage. Right before their wedding day, Diya takes Jai to a plush house that is gifted to them by her rich father (Ram Kapoor). This gift not just hurts the self respect of Jai, but also makes him confess to Diya that he is just not ready for marriage because his main focus is his career. Hearing that, a heartbroken Diya leaves Jai promising never to return back. Post that, a grief-stricken Jai lands up gulping a full bottle of champagne. And when he wakes up next morning, he sees the world and timezone around him totally changed. He sees himself transported into his future which shakes the ground below him completely. On one hand, while he sees himself resigning from a dream job at Harvard University (for which he had strived so hard), on the other hand, he sees his wife Diya divorcing him and moving on. If that wasn't enough, Jai 'lives through' many different crucial stages of his life. What are these situations and how does he manage to time travel and does Jai ever manage to 'solve' the mysteries, is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: Besides looking glamorous,gorgeous,as an actor,this is probably Katrina's best performance.She is very much impressive.On the other hand Siddharth is not up to the mark.He is repeating same expressionless acting.

MUSIC: is composed by Amaal Mallik, Arko, Badshah, Jasleen Royal and Bilal Saeed. The song "Kala Chasma" is awesome foot tapping . "Sau Aasmaan" & "Teri Khair Mangdi" are also good.

Ths film has interesting plot but let down by poor direction & weak script.Besides being confusing, the film's screenplay is totally slow and un-relatable, which makes it extremely difficult to find resonance with the audience.The film's cinematography (Ravi K. Chandran) is excellent. The way in which he has shot the locations are extremely top-notch.

Overall Bar Bar Dekho is a confused film.So it can be ignored.

A FLYING JATT


A FLYING JATT : is a 2016 Bollywood superhero action film co-written and directed by Remo D'Souza starring Tiger Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, Amrita Singh, Gaurav Pandey, Nathan Jones, Kay Kay Menon.

PLOT: The film starts off with the introduction of the filthy rich and extremely money-minded Malhotra (Kay Kay Menon) and his expansion plans for his construction company. Amidst his plans of expansion, Mrs. Kartar Singh aka Bebe (Amrita Singh) acts as a barrier as it's her (late) husband's land that Malhotra wants to usurp for his project.Even when Malhotra offers double the value of the land to Bebe, she just does not budge to his offer, as she reasons that Malhotra's companies are the root cause of pollution in the city. That's when Malhotra summons the deadly and towering Rakka (Nathan Jones) so that he could throw Bebe and the other residents out of the 'Kartar Singh Colony', which is also home to an extremely pious and wish fulfilling tree. When Rakka is just about to cut down the tree, opposition comes in the form of Aman (Tiger Shroff), a normal martial arts teacher in a school. Just as when Rakka is about to chop the tree, a certain miracle takes place and, while Aman is blessed with superlative superpowers, Rakka on the other hand, gets the evil powers. Rakka's powers become deadlier whenever he inhales the polluted air.Does the Flying Jatt manage to beat Rakka & save the colony,is what forms the rest of the story.

PERFORMANCES: Tiger Shroff, whose martial skills are in full display in the film. Tiger Shroff, remains sincere and true to his character, even though this film may not qualify as his career best. The role of a man with superpowers needs a robust personality to match and Tiger Shroff scores full marks in this department. Jacqueline Fernandez, on the other hand, does not do anything exceptional, besides looking pretty and providing the glam quotient to the film.Amrita Singh as the typical Punjabi mother delivers a decent performance and is extremely lovable in her character. Kay Kay Menon, on the other hand, does a decent job in the negative role.Nathan Jones does manage to instill fear in the minds of the audiences, which was expected of his character.

MUSIC: composed by Sachin-Jigar."Toota Jo Kabhi Tara" is a good composition.

While the drama in the film's first half is pretty interesting, humorous and gripping, the film's second half loses track, and turns too preachy regarding environment and religion.Even the film's production value and VFX look tacky, which is quite a letdown in a superhero film.

Overall, A Flying Jatt is one time watch for those who like superhero films.
