I.M.C.F Review

Not many would agree to this but in my opinion... Chetan Bhagat is a good writer with respect to novels, but not a great script provider for movies. Of course, his novels are Cinematic, but how many of them were seriously successful as movies?

Well, keeping other movies aside, this movie is a sheer disappointment. Right from the first frame, seemed very cinematic and no way natural or realistic. Most of the scenes looked like they must be there to give a cinematic effect or to keep the movie running. This film strictly had no emotions, no proper base for romance, the love story seemed like a lust story because of the lack of depth in their relationship.

Madhav (Arjun) starts off the film as a guy with a goal but all he does is to run behind Riya (Shraddha) and live with a sad face for most of his life. Didn't seem like a love failure. Seemed like he was sad he could not get himself laid. And coming back to his goal... never seemed to be focused on his goal. Does something with Bill Gates and all... but it only seemed foolish and stupid on screen. Studied in a good university in Delhi and never managed to learn English. Gave a stupid speech and impressed Bill Gates himself? Wow... a new level of B'wood BS! And the point of 'Half Girlfriend' or the Basketball, never made any sense. Is there love among them or what? Does she like him or what? Seemed like she loves him then what's the point of Half Girlfriend? Well, they tried to justify it, but in a stupid way.

Well, I don't want to describe any more of this stupid film. Just ignore it and save some time.

I.M.C.F Review

A light heart'ed romantic drama with more emotions and comic scenes, in contrast to the trend of action films. We cannot yet compare it with other Karan Johar classics, but is still a pretty decent flick. Varun and Alia have been exceptionally well portrayed and the supporting cast has been too good too.

Story seems to be pretty routine, but Director took utter care, to make it look different. Well, the point where the love story starts from a Marriage proposal is a bit new for sure, but still seems like a pretty obvious love story. But comic scenes have been an advantage though. They make the film run at peace and keeps the audience entertained.

The second part of the film starts off with some aggression and the transition from aggression to romance has been done very professionally and maturely! It is one part of the film, which deserves a certain mention and applause too.

The climax is pretty predictable, but has been done in the right way. Its a great entertainer, in all! With beautiful songs and scenic locations, we can definitely count this movie to be in the race of Best film for 2017!  

I.M.C.F Rating : 85/100

Direction : 9/10 : Not much of a story, but portrayed so well that, you wont even realize that.

Production Values :8/10 : Karan Johar is one of those Producers in B'Town who has his mark. So, yeah... Well made!

Story/Plot : 7/10 : Not a story that we havent seen before.

Cast Performances : 10/10 : Alia stole the show once again and Varun competed with her, till the very end. Perfecto!

Music : 9/10 : Yet another hit album of B'wood!

Cinematography : 8/10 : Well shot.

Choreography : 9/10 : So well made, that you would want to watch them twice! 'Tamma Tamma' especially is off the charts.

Screenplay/Editing : 9/10 : Whenever the pace of the film gets slow, there comes a comic scene to keep you hooked! Entertaining.

Dialogues : 8/10 : Great!

Awe Moment(s) : 8/10 : The episode in Singapore is a completly perfect strip. Rest were all ok'ish.

I.M.C.F Review

What will happen if two equally gutsy, free living and notorious people who are against marriage meet? Well the story in this film, happens!

Aditya and Shraddha have been amazing on screen as two individuals with high aspirations, who happen to fall for each other, unknowingly. Their love story had been portrayed very sweet and swift, right from the first frame. Songs by Rahman sir became an added advantage!

Mani Ratnam sir gave us two love stories in a single film, representing one from each generation. Showed us, how love varied from time to time, and how priorities change and how we cannot let go of some people from our lives, no matter what. A decent flick, but yeah we have seen many stories like these, already!

I.M.C.F Rating : 77/100

Direction : 7/10 : I haven't seen the original version, and I have enjoyed this one well.

Production Values : 7/10 : Just like any other Karan Johar film!

I.M.C.F Review

A Mind can see, what the eyes won't see and a Heart can feel what the eyes won't. That's the gist of this film and the writers of this film did take some inspiration from the 1989 movie, Blind Fury and the 2014 Korean movie, Broken; but the Director was quite successful in delivering a Master piece in our very own B'wood style. A few B'wood commercial tweaks can be found here and there... but apart from that, its a perfect film. Every scene has a great link, back to somewhere in the film, as a part of perfect screenplay.

A noteworthy mention goes to Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam, who were so proficient and perfect at acting that we can consider this film, undoubtedly their best till date with respect to performances. Acting as Blind people is never so easy and especially when the film carries such high emotions... It is not at all easy.

Music is good and rest of the technical team did well too. Of course at the end, it is still a film run by Actors and Screenplay! Rohit and Ronit roy were amazing too, in their negative shaded roles! When you hate or love an actor... you know they are doing well... And that happens to both Protagonists and Antagonists, in this film!

I.M.C.F Rating : 85/100

Direction : 9/10 : Almost flawless, apart from a very few scenes where Hero gets a chance by villan even when he had a chance to kill him, etc

Production Values : 8/10 : Good and decent

Cast Performances : 10/10 : Yeah one of those perfect performances!

Music : 7/10 : Ok, I guess

Cinematography : 9/10 : Creative

Action Sequences : 8/10 : Were done well!

Screenplay : 10/10 : Would tie you to the seat, till the very end, though its a bit predictable.

Dialogues : 8/10 : Well written!

Awe Moment(s) : 9/10 : The emotional revenge scenes of Hrithik; His actions and plans to get his revenge delivered!

I.M.C.F Review

There is a speculation that this film is based on the criminal life of Abdul Latif, who happens to be an underworld figure in Gujarat and an associate of Dawood Ibrahim.

Well, keeping that aside, this film is a sort of Tom and Jerry drama between a corrupt gangster and a sincere police officer. A battle of different perspectives of being Right! The film is all about an aspiring youngster, doing a business of Alcohol, at a time when importing Alcohol was a crime!

Despite of various attempts from Police... Raees (Shahrukh) becomes unstoppable and grows big. He ventures into Politics, Real Estate and even Smuggling, at a phase of his life to deal with the people and the Government who had been trying to get him under control! In this process, he ends up getting indirectly involved in a Bomb Blast that takes in-numerous innocent lives.

As a result, he becomes a wanted criminal and up on taking his revenge on those who were responsible for the bomb blast and his situation of being wrong... He gets encountered by the Police!

Underline: Evil never triumphs over Good, no matter how intelligent Evil could be!

I.M.C.F Rating : 77/100

One of the finest movies from the Sports genre ever made! Humorous, emotional, inspiring and perfectly made!  

Aamir is Aamir. We have to accept that fact! All the hard work he has put in, can be clearly seen on screen. Coz, we have seen Dhoni's six. Mary Kom's Punch. Milkha's race and Sultan's grapple... but this movie here is certainly a step above them all!

It is the story of an Unsung Indian Hero who made the world's largest evacuation in the history possible. Watch it and get to know an Unsung Hero of Our Country !!!

Akshay Kumar delivers a splendid performance, especially in the first half emotional scenes. He is really tailor-made for these kinds of roles. Nimrat Kaur has nothing much but has some good dialogues in the second half. The movie is all about the struggles and the help, Akshay kumar faces with, in the process of saving Indians from Kuwait's war.

I.M.C.F Review

Bajarangi Bhaijaan​ is a great movie with Wonderful Direction, Excellent performances, Different and emotional story.

This is the first Salman "entertainer" that really entertained me! This is the first time when I didn't mind overlooking every cinematic liberty because I was actually having a good time. 

Salman Khan is awesome in this movie! He CAN still act very well. All those sleepwalking roles haven't made him lose his touch. He's a joy to watch. The little girl is as perfect as casting gets and does a splendid job. On the other hand, Nawazudin...if we just put him in a small role in every Bollywood movie, I think quality of cinema in the country will immediately increase. Kareena does her simple part very well!

The movie is hilarious, with almost every joke actually working well and making you smile and laugh. Songs are nothing special but are enjoyable. Perhaps my only complaint would be that it seemed too long and the dragged out climax had me waiting for it to end. Yes, at times the movie can be "preachy/emotionally manipulative" but for the most part does this in a subtle manner that blends in to the narrative.

Reasons to watch:

1. The performances of Bajarangi - Munni.

2. The climax and the interval bang!

3. Entertaining screenplay.

Reasons to skip:

1. Music is just fine.

2. Feels to be lengthy towards the end.
