MSG: The Messenger of God Hindi Movie Review

Ratings:1/5 Review By:  Renuka Vyavahare Site:Times Of India

In case you missed the first two hours of the film, pitaji ensures you don't miss out on it by repeating the gyaan in the climax. Isn't he just like the song dedicated to him? 'Papa the geerate (read great)'. Nonetheless, the film is a treat for this guru's fans since he appears practically in every scene.

As a result of poor and amateurish direction, the film tends to suffer big time, and starts looking and behaving as a propaganda documentary of Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan. . On the whole, MSG: THE MESSENGER is a film that can be watched once... purely for the dynamics and the histrionics of the endearing Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, whose onscreen antics seem to make the onscreen antics of Rajnikanth look like a child's play!

The whole film looks like those Pakistani VFX videos we laugh at on YouTube and -- while there is definitely, definitely something to be said for a film where a talking Barbie doll tells the hero how a little girl in a bride costume is in danger, and where a villain uses a Quidditch ball to drug people -- at 197 minutes it is sheer torture. SO NO RATING. THIS IS NOT A MOVIE.

It is reminiscent of the film Jigarthanda, in which a local gangster forces a filmmaker at gunpoint to make him a superstar. The third act of that movie is pretty much the story of MSG’s release and now a bridge between satire and reality.Why the film faced any ban is a mystery. You can laugh with the movie, and more so at the movie. It’s a win win. I reckon the censor board wanted to ban the movie for being too awesome. There is literally no better way to spend your valentines day than taking your date to watch the Love Charger.

Despite the punches and kicks, MSG is far from being an action film and probably needs to be slot into a genre that has no predecessors and hopefully, no followers. The makers of the film, two-thirds of which is SRRSI himself, have made no bones about positioning the man as a messiah. It has a few cringe-worthy attempts at comedy and Gaurav Gera (the only familiar face in the film) has the misfortune of delivering them. The story line follows a linear path that builds up to show the man as the ultimate insaan.

It's obvious that a film like The Messenger is nothing but a long format advertisement strictly for followers of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, others can watch it for some entertainment because the hero of this film can do what Ironman, Superman, Captain America and James Bond put together can't do.

The ‘film’ is long and excruciatingly awful only for non-believers. For his adoring followers, each scene is a super-hit. If Bollywood can, why can’t MSG? If Amitabh could do it back in the early 80s (remember Yaarana), why can’t he have suits with every single primary coloured sequin stitched in? Like Salman, he has his bank of pithy sayings. Like Ajay, he strides slo-mo.

No, you shouldn’t watch this film. Go spend your money on whatever else you feel like spending it on, but don’t let it go to waste by buying tickets to MSG: The Messenger. Its torturous length, the languid pace of its scenes, the eyesore of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s clothes and the overall repetitiveness of everything will keep you questioning why you’re occupying your seats still. That’s when you’ll feel the hurt of having given away your hard earned cash for something that doesn’t deserve it a bit.

Roy Hindi Movie Review

Ratings:1/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site:CNN IBN

Did anyone who was attached to the film actually read the script before showing up on set? The one strength of the film is its terrific soundtrack, even if those infectious dance numbers do pop up in not all the right places. But that’s faint praise for a movie that limps lethargically for close to 2 hours and 30 minutes, all but collapsing in a predictable twist ending that you’ve guessed a long time ago.I’m going with one out of five for Roy. The unintentionally funny dialogues aside, it’s unlikely that you’ll be smiling very much through this misery.

Vikramjeet Singh has penned a story which is far from engaging or interesting. That it moves at a painfully slow pace and thereby tests the audience’s patience is just one of the many problems. On the whole, Roy is a confused film which will confuse the audience more than it would entertain. Despite a hit music score, it will prove to be a flop fare at the box-office.

Debutant director Vikramjit's premise is uncommon; the execution is stylish - with beautifully captured actors and ambience, but it turns into an emotional drama (often too complex) rather than a taut romantic thriller. It's glazed with visual appeal and style (champagne, cigar, et al), and evokes curiosity too, but the soul of the plot fades into thick clouds of smoke.

As far as the film is concerned, debutante Vikramjit Singh steps into Bollywood with a film that is slow paced and long. His sense of storytelling needs to be more polished than this one. Brownie points to Singh for having captured the luscious beauty of Malaysia in its raw essence. On the whole, ROY is a film to be watched if you are a fan of thriller movies with some soul-stirring music.

I don't know yeh film kaise ban gayi,' wonders Arjun Rampal in one of the most honest moments of the baffling, boring Roy.Roy is so tangled in its inflated, erratic ideas of a pseudo mystery around parallel lives and loves that it ceases to make sense even before it takes off. Mostly, though, it's just slow torture.

 The director, who is also the co-writer of the dialogue, knows the primacy of a kahani, if the lines his characters spout are any indication. He does not, however, follow it up with tangible action.One character puts it unambiguously: if a story is not going anywhere it is best to cut it short.But where, pray, is the story in Roy?Recommended only if you want to use the auditorium for a relaxing catnap.

Roy will stun your senses – because there hasn’t been a film this boring, this ridiculous and this pretentious since the time you can remember.

Royis at the core of it all a love story which finds a mysterious representation.

Ratings:2/5 Review By:  Shubhra Gupta Site:Indian Express

‘Baby’ is a perfect vehicle for the times we live in: it gives us a home-spun hero who allows himself to be hurt but is invincible, and an enemy who is the easiest to demonise. The film is as simplistic as its title – Us vs Them, and no prizes for guessing who will win. In a messy world, where each action can have an equal and opposite reaction, what is the point of complexity?

The first half of Baby makes you feel you are Rakesh.But when you make it till the film ends, you will feel happy that you sat through the torture in the first half. The second-half, especially the climax is where the film has scored well and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Baby, written and directed by Neeraj Pandey, is a tricky film in more ways than one. It might have been hailed as just another innocuous, smartly-packaged, competently shot espionage thriller if only the politics at its heart not been so dangerously dodgy. The point that Baby seems to make is that it isn't just trained killing machines, but also the nation as a whole, that can, and should, do 'anything', collateral damage be damned.

Balancing characters, conspiracies and cities, director Neeraj Pandey admirably keeps Baby rich, yet tight, researched, non-sentimental and steely-eyed. Neeraj's craft has grown - he's taken trademark touches from films like Special 26 and A Wednesday, setting them here on a grand scale, with a breath-taking climax. The cinematography - desert dunes in nothing but shaded moonlight - is elegant while dialogues are robust. One of Baby's crew tells Ajay, "Tension kya lena? Ulta, aapke rehte, mazaa aata hai."Quite. This Baby's day out is deadly good fun.

The film works on many levels; effective lines, some laced with dead-pan humour (written by Neeraj Pandey), the break-neck pace, near-perfect casting and minimal melodrama. Akshay Kumar scores with his understated performance and a body language that's a perfect fit for an 'emotionless' cop with a single minded focus. Two minor complaints. Wish they had gone easy on the background score. Also, a glaring loophole involving a laptop belonging to a terrorist. Please watch this movie.

Dolly ki Doli Full Hindi Movie Review Sonam Kapoor's

Dolly Ki Doli  Hindi Movie Review

Ratings:1.5/5 Review By:  Shubhra Gupta Site:Indian Express

‘Dolly Ki Doli’ has a great idea, and starts off well, but then falls into a familiar trap– of a single-track leading lady piloting a half-baked plot. But the plotting and the treatment of the character shows up Kapoor’s limitations : she is good-natured, but not versatile. Ultimately, ‘Dolly Ki Doli’ is neither biting social comment, nor unfettered fun.

With its winsome ensemble of actors, background actors and walk-in parts, the lighthearted caper radiates an attractive energy that’s pleasant to be around even if hardly profound. Moreover, Dolly Ki Doli goofs on the coy dulhan stereotype with such wicked relish it never gets dull.

There is much to like in Dolly Ki Doli. Or, let us put it this way: there isn't much to dislike in Dolly Ki Doli. Dolly is a rebel all right, but the precise motivations for her battle against the established social order never emerge with clarity. As a result, the character remains a blurry blob as she takes one man after another for a ride. But for all its obvious flaws and failings, Dolly Ki Doli is not completely unworthy of the 100 minutes that it demands from the audience..

But the problem with Dolly Ki Doli is that it does not give a plausible ending to the story. Dogra, who co-wrote Dolly Ki Doli with Uma Shankar Singh, did have an interesting plot -- the journey of a girl who takes on the bad world of men and the hypocrite institution of marriage. But why does she do it? That is exactly where Dogra's script fails. So should you watch Dolly Ki Doli? Go for it, for the entertaining performances. Despite the shoddy script and loose strings, this is worth a watch.

Debutant director Abhishek Dogra's con-bride story is simple and refreshing. It's filled with some laughable moments, hilarious performances and quirky characters. There aren't too many highs or dramatic turns; Dolly's past story is unconvincing and her track with Pulkit is the weak link in the plot. The climax is a sweet surprise, so hold on for it. After wedlocks across the country, there's only one faint picture of Dolly's shaadi? Really? What's 'app', guys?

On the whole, DOLLY KI DOLI is a stress buster that will make you smile as you'll leave the theatre. Debutante director Abhishek Dogra has competently extracted superb performances from the entire starcast. The unpredictable climax of the film works to the advantage too. But the four day weekend will help this Dolly ensnare many patrons. The word of mouth will be the key in witnessing the growth. We say, it's a roller coaster entertainer.

Rang Rasiya Movie Review 2014 Randeep Hooda Nandana Sen

Rang Rasiya Movie Review

While the film moves at a fairly quick pace throughout, the climax seems to be a little stretched. Sometimes adapting an entire book in a span of approximately 120 minutes can prove to be an almost impossible task and RANG RASIYA too seems to be a victim of it.  On the whole, RANG RASIYA is for the artistic and creative people who believe in freedom of expression but it surely won't woo the janta who are looking for entertainment and a getaway this weekend.

Ratings:4/5 Review By: Srijana Mitra Das Site:Times Of India (TOI)

Rang Rasiya is a colourful triumph, director Ketan Mehta meriting applause for his portrait of painter Raja Ravi Varma, skillfully blending a biopic, a period film, a love story and a social critique, within a tight frame. Rang Rasiya portrays Varma as India's first cultural rock-star, adored, attacked, commercial, inspired, excited and challenged by a new consciousness he sees - and shapes. Vitally, Rang Rasiya emphasizes Raja Ravi Varma's commitment to the freedom of ideas which creates philosophy, science and liberated love, ephemeral, yet lasting - like the pages of his calendars.

Rang Rasiya is by no means a perfect film, but for the manner in which it tackles an extensive range of important themes related to the place of art in a tradition-bound society, it is an impressive achievement. This film has been in the cans for several years, but given the timelessness of the story it tells and the crucial issues it addresses, it has lost none of its relevance. Rang Rasiya is as good a film as any you have, or will, see this year. Strongly recommended.

However, as I watched Raja fund young Dadasaheb Phalke's moving-picture dreams, the meta-ness is hard to ignore: I was watching an ordinary cinematic representation of an artist indirectly responsible for us watching films at all. What if he hadn't been generous to the future Father of Indian cinema? Would we be in a position to gauge the uniformity of his legacy? Perhaps not.

Ketan Mehta has done a commendable job as Rang Rasiya is far ahead of its contemporaries, which are still dealing with insane item numbers and illogical heists.Rang Rasiya is much more than just a period film. It’s a statement on behalf of people who reject intolerance and are continuously striving for a new India which will give space to free voice. It’s a piece of art.

Ratings:4/5 Review By: Mohar Basu Site:Koimoi

Ketan Mehta doesn’t shirk from taking the pique stand in telling a well blended tale about love, passion, virtue, chastity and he brooding demand to adhere to social norms, bringing into relevance of Raja Ravi Varma’s story which is more than a century old. Mehta’s line of thought was simple, while gadgets and technology is progressing, our minds are still not free from the shackles of primitive thinking. This is one Ketan’s most effortless, most nuanced and most impactful works and definitely one of recent times’ most powerful and moving films, I had the good fortune of watching.

The film takes a while to gather momentum and begin to underscore the principal conflict points in the legendary artist's career.

The narrative is marked by metaphorical blotches of darkness - these add multiple layers to the forceful drama and serve as counterpoints to the overwhelming beauty that cinematographer Anil Mehta puts on the screen.

The film swings from the highs represented by the untrammeled passion that drives the process of creativity to the lows brought on by the myopic interventions of self-appointed guardians of conventional religious belief and morality, and glides across much else in between.

Rang Rasiya is by no means a perfect film, but for the manner in which it tackles an extensive range of important themes related to the place of art in a tradition-bound society, it is an impressive achievement.

The film, which has been adapted from Ranjit Desai's Marathi biography of Raja Ravi Varma, probes multiple themes - freedom of expression, religious bigotry, deeply ingrained caste and class divides, and the dilemma of a woman who dares to surrender herself completely to the man and the artist she loves and trusts. It does so with restraint and subtlety.

In Rang Rasiya, we witness Ravi Varma being transformed from an unassuming but supremely talented young man to a full-fledged rebel who paves the way for a wholly new approach to art.

He marries a princess, goes the whole hog with a lowly maid for the sake of his art, earns the title of Raja from the impressed ruler of Travancore, is banished from Kerala by the latter's successor, shifts to Bombay, and secures a commission from the Maharajah of Baroda that allows him to travel the length and breadth of India in quest of inspiration.

At the end of it all, Raja Ravi Varma emerges as a successful artist who is both revered and reviled. But firm in his belief that "art is always unfettered", he continues to fearlessly ply his trade, earning many enemies in the bargain.

With the help of an Indian businessman Goverdhan Das (Paresh Rawal) and a German printer Fritz Schleizer (Jim Boeven), he sets up a lithographic printing press in Bombay that reproduces his paintings by the hundreds and thousands.

That fuels the ire of the fundamentalists and he is dragged to court for hurting the religious sentiments of the people, a plight that artists have continued to face across the country ever since.

Rang Rasiya is bolstered appreciably by the strong performances by the two principal actors - Randeep Hooda as Raja Ravi Varma and Nandana Sen as his muse in Bombay, Sugandha Bai - as well as by the formidable supporting cast (Darshan Jariwala, Vikram Gokhale, Sachin Kedekar, Ashish Vidyarthi, Paresh Rawal, Vipin Sharma, Gaurav Dwivedi).

Randeep does not strike a single false note in a complex interpretation of a towering figure, capturing the highs and lows of Raja Ravi Varma's life with effortless ease.

Rang Rasiya is as good a film as any you have, or will, see this year. Strongly recommended.

The second half, however, has a lot more of those fun moments that will keep the smile constant on your face.

The narrative, packed with inane situations, numerous quirks and wacky oddballs, is lent a breezy pace by editor Rameshwar S Bhagat. It’s only towards the nearing of the “happily ever after” that things get stretched and an unnecessary, flashy club song is inserted. It’s a flaw that could’ve been avoided, but one we are willing to overlook as a trade-off for the steady supply of giggles and laughter.

Shaukeen is the third early 1980s Hindi comedy (after Sai Paranjpye's Chashme Buddoor and Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Khubsoorat) to be remade in the span of a year.

The returns have been meager and yet it is unlikely that Bollywood is going to give up any time soon.

Devoid of the innocence and spontaneity that helped the three older comedies rise above their limitations and attain longevity, The Shaukeens shows why the classics should be left alone.

It isn't just Shaukeen that this film mercilessly cannibalizes. It also filches elements from 1971's Guddi and weaves into its messy mish-mash the story of a girl hopelessly infatuated with a movie star.

The title of the film refers to three dirty rotten scoundrels who have sex, and only sex, on their minds.

Their puerile attempts to satiate their lust do not yield much joy either for them or the audience.

The Shaukeens lacks the sense of good-natured fun that underlined the original film, in which, thanks to the efforts Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt and AK Hangal, the lecherous old men came across as a largely harmless trio out to seek the thrill of illicit liaisons in the autumn of their lives.

The triumvirate in The Shaukeens - three Delhi men who see girls only as objects - is unlikeable, and none of what they do in their own city or in Mauritius can be deemed to be acceptable behavior even for males half their age.
Frustrated with their lives, the three sexagenarian friends - Connaught Place shoe store owner Lali (Anupam Kher), social worker KD (Annu Kapoor) and Chawri Bazaar masala merchant Pinky (Piyush Mishra) - head out to Mauritius.

They rent the bungalow of a pretty young thing, Ahana (Lisa Haydon), a fancy-free designer who recycles used material into ready-to-wear clothes and accessories.

Having broken up with her long-time boyfriend, she aborts a planned road trip and returns to her seaside home.

The three men cannot contain their excitement on seeing the girl in their midst and decide to hit the beach with her.

The trouble with The Shaukeens is that both the characters and the film as a whole hit all the wrong buttons in a bid to generate mirth.

Akshay Kumar, who also doubles up as the narrator, is the only one in the cast who seems to have had a certain degree of genuine fun. The rest merely go through the motions.

The leading lady of The Shaukeens ditches her boyfriend because, in her words, "he made fun of my creation and called it stupid and obnoxious".
