Singh Saab The Great Review

Rating: 3/5 Stars (Three Stars)

Star cast: Sunny Deol, Prakash Raj, Amrita Rao, Johnny Lever, Urvashi Rautela.

Director: Anil Sharma

What’s Good: Sunny Deol and Prakash Raj give exceptionally interesting performances.

What’s Bad: Tacky camera work, a drabby second half and an uninteresting romance angle are spoilers.

Loo break: Few.

Watch or Not?: Singh Saab The Great is perhaps one of recent times’ most novel masala films. Despite a multitude of grave hitches, the film is surprisingly original and intense. Being fed on a host of extremely trashy and mediocre masala films which have become Bollywood’s staple these days, Anil Sharma gives us a welcome change. Sunny Deol and Prakash Raj make the film worth a watch for their earnestness and ardour at portraying their respective roles. I won’t call this fantastic or thrilling but for its sheer unconventionality, the film had me impressed.

Collector Karanjit Talwar (Sunny Deol) is known for his honesty in the political circles. His life comes to a standstill following a posting to Bhadori where the corrupt Bhudev Singh’s (Prakaj Raj) words is the law of the land. As Talwar tries to stop the area’s malpractices with his strict norms, the man faces the brunt of his good deeds as the villain victimized his family.
It is not long before Talwar loses his dear ones and lands up in jail framed under charges of crimes he hasn’t even committed. But the determined man maintains his will power and mental strength emerging as a social worker under the name of Singh Saab and fights Bhudev’s intricate web of evil doings. The film retells how Singh Saab reforms Bhudev and takes a unique revenge on the guy.

Duration: 2 hours 18 minutes
 

Verdict - Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is partly fun but mostly a ridiculous romantic comedy

The plot of Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is ridiculous even for a romantic comedy. This is something I felt during the first half of the film. After the second half, there is nothing left to call ridiculous or even a romantic comedy. I have enjoyed Dharma’s romantic comedies in the past, especially Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012) and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013). I was even amused by Punit Malhotra’s first film – I Hate Luv Storys (2010). I admire both Kareena Kapoor and Imran Khan. The genre, the actors, the songs, the production value - everything is in place, in fact it is so much in place that there is nothing left for a script.

The first half of the film is fun and entertaining. There are many moments, which don’t make sense, and the script seems to have been given no attention but there is something likable about it. It is goofy and the actors have good chemistry. Imran and Kareena look great together (again), but I was more interested in Imran and Shraddha Kapoor’s sub-plot. I won’t go into it because it contains spoilers. I hope they are cast in a film together and with a good director.

If there is any actress today who knows how to be a Bollywood actress, it is Kareena Kapoor. I love watching her make average scenes look interesting. She can overact and make it look like she could do it on command. This kind of praise is meant for another review of a better film but in a film like this one you realize its importance. I think they were trying to make her into a memorable character like Geet from Jab We Met (2007) but didn’t go the distance. She plays an “NGO types” and pretty much nails it.

Imran Khan is an actor who I admire for reasons which could easily be taken for why he isn’t considered a good actor. I don’t exactly think he can act well but there are few actors in our industry who can do deadpan humor well. In romantic comedies like Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008) and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, you can see how he fits the characters like a glove and gives humor to situations which would fall flat otherwise. It is also extremely difficult to do “regular guy” roles. Every actor wants to be a star these days and make his presence felt. It is continually refreshing to see an actor who isn’t trying too hard and just exists on screen. You feel like you know him or could even be his friend. To me, that is not something as casual as it seems. In this film, he plays a rich brat and does not make it look stereotypical.

The music of the film is enjoyable. I love Dhat Teri Ki and Tooh. There is slapstick song set in a village called Moto Ghotalo which is amusingly choreographed with the villagers in the background getting their groove on. This is where I was confused as to what the film was aiming for. The tone is inconsistent. Sometimes, it wants to be silly and sometimes goes overboard with its filmyness. Other times, the humor is completely different ranging from dry to dumb.

Varna Telugu Movie Review, Rating

• 
• Title : Varna (2013)
• Star Cast : Anushka, Arya
• Director : Selva Raghavan
• Producer : Prasad V Potluri
• Music : Harris Jayaraj
• Released on : Nov 22, 2013.
• Anushka’s charishma has doubled after ‘Arundathi’. Anushka brought in a special craze after the success and collections of Arundathi. She has become the director’s choice for heroine centric movies. She became cautious with ‘Panchakshari’. She decided to wait and watch for such scripts. Sri Raghava has brought her such impressive script. Varna is a blend of Sri Raghava and Anushka. This Friday she is reaching audience on screens. Let us go through the highlights of Varna.
  - Sri Raghavan has converted youth audience as his fans through ‘Brindavan Colony’. He excelled in various genres later. He dealt with stories like ‘Uganiki Okkadu’. Now he has crafted Varma. He gave major focus on visual effects. Two worlds concept will be seen in this movie. How would the second world be? From this question arose the story, it seems.
  - Film is likely to take us to strange locations. It is said that Indian screens have never seen such locations. Film unit says that audience will thoroughly enjoy this new experience.
  - Whopping 60 Crores have been invested on this movie. Strong belief on Anushka lead to such a huge budget movie in Telugu as well as in Tamil. Isn’t it quite astonishing?
  - The centre of attraction would be Anushka with her dual role. She will appear in Varna & Ramya roles. Varna is a tribal girl and Ramya a doctor. The relation between them is quite interesting.
  - Arya will be presented as a Hero. Film unit claims that stunt scenes designed on Arya are thrilling.
  - Music, cinematography and art departments have been done in top most quality. Colouring and framing will bring new experience to the audience, as said by film unit.
  - Anushka says ” As an artist this movie is a test”. She worked hard for more than 90 days in locations where temperatures are in minus degrees and with no facilities available. The end result of her efforts are to be seen soon.
