BADSHAHI ANGTI


BADSHAHI ANGTI: is a thriller film directed by Sandip Ray, based on the novel of same name by Satyajit Ray starring Abir Chatterjee,Sourav Das,Paran Bandyopadhyay,Deepankar De,Bharat Kaul,Biswajit Chakraborty.

PLOT: Feluda (Abir Chatterjee) and his cousin Topshe (Sourav Das) visit Lucknow with Topshe's father (Deepankar De) to spend the Puja vacation.They stayed at the house of Dhirendra Kumar Sanyal (Biswajit Chakraborty), a friend of Topshe's father.There,they meet Dr.Shrivastav(Bharat Kaul).They came to know from Dr.Shrivastav that he has a  'Ring of Aurangzeb' which was given to him by Pyarilaal Seth & someone wants to steal it.So he decided to keep that ring at Dhiru uncle's custody.But next day,the ring was missing from there.Meanwhile, Feluda meets an interesting person in doctor's neighbourhood, Mr. Bonobihari Sarkar (Paran Bandyopadhyay).Bonobihari babu has ferocious and poisonous creatures like crocodile, African tiger,hyena, rattlesnake, scorpion and black widow spider in his own home.Now Feluda & Topshe started investigation.How did  they solve the mystery was rest of the story.

PERFORMANCE: Abir as Feluda was very good.As per the storyline,a fresh & young face required for the role of Feluda & Abir was perfect match.He tried very hard to justify his role.Sourav Das as Topshe was total blunder & wrong choice for this popular character.Paran Bandyopadhyay was also very good.Biswajit Chakraborty,Bharat Kaul,Deepankar De were also good.

After watching Soumitra Chatterjee & Sabyasachi Chakraborty portraying the role of Feluda,it will be little hard to accept Abir as Feluda as its his 1st Feluda film.Lal Mohan Ganguly aka Jatayu was very much missed.Cinematography,background score were not up to the mark.

Overall,Badshahi Angti is surely watchable film but this is not the best Feluda film directed by Sandip Roy.

Last word : I am feeling...."সিনেমা টা ঠিক জমল না"...

PLOT: The film is about Vishi (Ajay Devgn) who is a small goon in his area but is good at heart.He loves beating up people to the tunes of music beats and mixes dancing with action sequences.Khushi (Sonakshi Sinha) who bumps into him in the changing room of a mall to see him naked. And this girl starts stalking him simply so she can see him naked again.Khushi believed to be unlucky and she thinks that seeing naked Ajay Devgn brings her good luck.Vishi being chased by everyone around -- right from the local cops to well suited-booted goons and even a don Xavier(Anand Raj) sitting in Bangkok.It is then revealed that Vishi resembles an extremely skilled criminal Jai aka AJ.Don's psycho sister Marina(Manasvi) is in love with AJ but he is in love with Anusha(Yami).So, Marina & Xavier tried to kill Anusha but failed.They leave her brutally injured.AJ escapes to India and get her treated.Oneday Vishi sees AJ to kill Xavier's men.So lives of the two Ajay Devgns clash and drama begins.

PERFROEMANCES: Ajay was very good.Sonakshi only looked very beautiful.Yami was ok.Kunaal Roy Kapur as Vishi's close friend Musa was good.Anand Raj was so-so.

MUSIC: composed by  Himesh Reshammiya.Only the song "Keeda" was good.

Poor story,bad script as well as direction.Dialogues,music failed to impress. 2nd half was little better than 1st half.Only thing is watchable is the fighting sequences.They were extremely good and beautifully executed.

Overall,Action Jackson is a disappointing film.I expected more from Prabhu Deva after delivering the films like Wanted,Rowdy Rathore & R....Rajkumar.U can watch this film if u r Ajay Devgn fan.Otherwise give it a miss.

PLOT: Dev (Ranveer) and Tutu (Ali) were two orphans who had been brought up by a local goon Bhaiyaji (Govinda)  who trained them to be killers.Dev met Disha(Parineeti) & Dev fells for her and started bunking his work (which was killing people) and Tutu kept covering for him. But not for long. Bhaiyaji soon discovered the truth.Dev left that job & took job in a insurance company.Bhaiyaji tried his best to bring back his Dev.Now Dev was in dilemma that if he choose bhaiyaji's work and  Disha came to know about Dev's past then she would leave him.On otherside,if Dev tried to leave Bhaiyaji's job then Bhaiyaji would kill him.Now whom did Dev choose and how did he manage his life were rest of the story.

PERFORMANCES: Ranveer was good.Ali Zafar was ok.Parineeti only looked hot & beautiful.Govinda's acting talent was killed by the script & director.He was unable to deliver his talent.We can see famous sanskari purush of the universe Mr. Aloke Nath as owner of the insurance company.

MUSIC: composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.Songs like "Kill Dil (Title Song)","Sweeta"  & "Sajde"  were good.

Old story which bollywood has used several times.predictable script,poor direction.Some dialogues and funny sequences are good but those are not enough.

Overall,Kill Dil is not at all watchable film.We had expectation to watch a good film From director of Saathiya & Bunty aur Bably but this film totally fails to impress.If u have enough time to kill then watch Kill Dil.

Poor script,predictable which bores u sometimes but it has some very good comedy sequnces,comedy dialogues which will surely make u lough.The film is long enough which is not bearable.Farah Khan is very much inspired by bollywood film industry & patriotism which make huge impact on the script of every film directed by her.
Overall,Happy New Year is ok type film which is better than Chennai Express(personaly I feel that).Its a one time watch.
