Bang Bang …….. all the way!
What a blast I had watching the first half of this movie
and what a dismal second half!
I was utterly captivated by the first ten minutes itself.
And what wasn’t to like about that? Jimmy Shergill and Javed Jaffrey were
upping the dude factor, and to add to it a rare appearance by Danny had me
glued to the screen. Then came the dampener – Ms.Kaif! This actually is where
the movie is quite similar to Day and Knight. Both Cameron Diaz and Ms.Kaif
look their age. But Cameron Diaz bought goofiness to her character which
Katrina just isn’t able to pull off.
The style quotient of the movie is off the charts, one of
the best shot movies in recent times. The chase sequences are superb. Simla is
captured in all its glory. I am not a big Hrithik fan but watching him dance
like he does, I could become a convert. Although he does try to bring in a dash
of nonchalance, he somehow doesn’t quite pull it off as well as Tom Cruise did.
Ah well! But then I can’t imagine any other actor who could have done it.
The film makers could have resisted the urge to convert
it into a Bhai ka Badla saga.
And the second half needs to be shaved off by about thirty
minutes, but other than that, you could watch it once.
Would I watch it again, maybe in bits and pieces on TV,
but otherwise no.
And just a side note, I left a bag in my seat and rushed
back to collect it and me and my friend were appalled to see the amount of
litter movie goers had left behind! Shameful! What happened to Swach Bharat?
Why can’t we clear our own mess dudes? There were two massive bins there, why
can’t we just pick up our garbage and stow it there? Not a herculean task- do
it! Please!
Also I think one of the goons in the movie was actually
the Jallad from last season of Bigg Boss, please tell me if I am correct. J
