Movie Review: Tashan - 'Aaditya ki Aag'!

This is so late. I got too lazy after seeing this movie that I don't want to write this. But then I felt that I suffered this, but no one should! So I am writing this.:)

Tashan is having same story line as 'Musafir' (starring Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor and Sameera Reddy) had. The difference is, in musafir anil was the suspect by sanjay dutt, here saif ali khan is suspect by anil kapoor. And kareena is the gal who robbed anil's money as sameera has done in musafir.

But rather than comparing it, we should say it 'Aaditya Chopra ki Aag'! Yes, because I think YashRaj has gone mad and making sucking movies now days.

Story is very simple. Anil is bhaiyaaji, a big don. Kareena is working with him as her father killed by anil as he had not paid borrowed money taken from him. She plays a game of love with saif ali khan, who is a call center guy, likes to play with girls. And then the game starts. She ran away with bhaiyaaji's money.

So bhaiyaaji call Bacchan pandey (Akshay kumar) to catch both of them and want them dead. Akshay and saif are after kareena to catch her and the story goes on.

Seriously, no good storyline, no cool music nothing in this movie. This time vishal-shekhar has not done so great music. One or two songs are just ok. The story is a big bore. Only actor here is akshay is some manner but though don't watch it!

Stars: Anil Kapoor AKA 'bhaiyaaji', Akshay Kumar AKA 'Bacchan Pandey', Kareena Kapoor AKA 'Pooja Singh', Saif Ali Khan AKA 'Jimmy'.
Our ratings: 1 star
Music: Vishal-Shekhar

The season of remakes...

Since last 2 years, it seems there is no great ideas with bollywood now. Expect some of them all movies are just average.And then some of them started making remakes (Of hindi ofcourse, because English remakes they are making since last 40 years! :) ).








we will discuss about the following ones

1.Don
2.Sholay
3.Umraav jaan
4.Karz
5.Padosan


First big remake was DON.
In Farhan Akhtar (Son of javed akhatar - write of old don. People says thats why he got the rights from chandra barot - director of old don)Shahrukh khan has tried to act the role of Don, which was played by Amithabh bacchan in old Don।They hope that it will be a biggest hit of that year।But people are not fool here!Because the story,songs,names of the characters are same! and of course there will be some comparison between old and new.It was not a flop but not a big hit also. People didn't liked it.(Specially the dialog by shahrukh 'Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin hai.Don ka intejar to 11 mulko ki pulice kar rahi hai'' डॉन को पकड़ना मुश्कील ही नही, नामुमकीन है.डॉन का इंतज़ार तो ग्यारह मुल्कों की पूलीस कर रही है.).

Old : director-chandra barot ,casts:amitabh bacchan,zinnat aman,iptekhar.
New : director-farhan akhatar, casts:Shahrukh khan,priyanka chopra,boman irani.

Second and biggest one is Sholay
Sholay is a trademark of bollywood.No one can make sholay, it just has been done itself!See all the characters of that film.You can't forget jay-veeru,thakur and gabbar. All of them are strong themselves.The music was also good.
But, Ram gopal verma (A fool director who think himself the boss and try to fool us!he thinks that whatever he will make people will accept.but thats not possible.) has decided to remake sholay. And he tried for some rights also. The name decided was 'Ram Gopal Verma ke Sholay'. But due to some legal problems, the name is 'Ram Gopal verma ki Aag' (or 'Ram Gopal verma ko aag'? :) ). And ya the film was like a fire on you. I mean its a waste of time and money.
No story or characters has been changed. Only some differences in names.Amitabh bacchan played babban(gabbar).jay'r role has been done by some new comer (i really don't know) and veeru's role by Ajay Devgan (worst acting here by ajay :( )
Music is also average.Urmila has done item number but it can't fool people.Nisha kothari played basanti (but she is like a item dancer as seen in the promos. Of course i can't dare to see this film!)
old by GP Sippy,casts:amitabh,dharmendra,jaya,hema malini,amajad khan,sanjeev kumar.
new by RGV,casts:ajay devgan,nisha kothari,amitabh,mohanlal

Third one very boring Umraav jaan
Aishwarya and abhishek's 'Umraav jaan' made by J.P.Datta. The film was very boring.Songs are ok,costumes and cinematography was good but story line was same. Aishwarya has done average but people didn't like it. It also received very lower ratings.leave it here...

Next coming remakes
1) Karz
new one will be made by Gulshan kumar (T-Series).
Himesh reshammiya will play rishi kapoor. Music also by himself.

old one was by Subhash Ghai and every one knows about it.It was a super hit movie.

2)Padosan
new one, casts:sanjay dutt = kishore kumar,ritesh deshmukh = sunil dutt...
old one, casts:sunil dutt,kishor kumar,sayra banu

i think its a season of remakes।Everyone just thinking about old hits.lets see how many remakeses will come? :)

write your comments and add if i forgot any of remake film.
