Bheja Fry 2 : The Return of Bharat Bhushan

Bheja Fry as the name suggests is centred around a character who can irritate a person to the limit. I am ofcourse talking about the one and only Mr.Bharat Bhushan played very well by Vinay Pathak. Bheja Fry is a part of the new generation comedy films that Indian cinema has started churning out over the last decade including films like Monsoon Wedding, Khosla ka Ghosla , Dasvidanya and more recently Chalo Dilli, Phas gaye re Obama , etcetra although I have not really indulged in watching this sorta cinema these films due to their low budget, simple storyline & some good performances have managed to be fairly successful. Bheja Fry series followed the tales of Bharat Bhushan and how his rustic and naive nature lands him and people around him into convoluted situations. What follows is the typical comedy of errors around which the entire movie revolves.

Bheja Fry 2 starts of with the introduction of the suave Ajit Talwar played by Kay Kay Menon who is a business man with fraud companies n is being inspected by income tax department by Bharat Bhushan's colleague Shekaran . To escape this inverstigation Talwar goes off to a cruise with his friend who incidentally is the producer of a game show which Bhushan has won with the prize being a trip to the same cruise. Ah there is also the lovely Minissha Lamba in the mix who is part of the crew hosting the game show Bhushan has won n she is also Mr.Bhushan's secret crush n an item of Talwar's lustful desire . With these people clashing aboard the cruise the resilt is a series of events leading to Talwar and Bhushan getting stranded on a deserted island. What follows is Bhushan driving Talwar crazy with his antics.

Kay Kay Menon & Vinay Pathak must be applauded for their great comic timing and super performance. Bheja Fry 2 for me is as good as its predecessor. Bhushan singing songs at the most unbelievable moments make some of the memorable moments of the movie. All in all Bheja Fry 2 for what it was meant to be does sufficient justice.

I would rate it 2.5 outta 5.

Pirates Of The Carribean : On Stranger Tides INDEED!!

Pirates Of the Carribean one of the most successful franchises of the last decade , 3 spectacular movies with amazing box office success so there obviously is a lot to expect from the 4th installment of this fantastic series . Pirates has given us one of the most memorable characters whose name can be taken with legendary Hollywood characters like Darth Vader from Star Wars or Don Vito from The Godfather we all know who I am talking about its the irreplaceable Johnny Depp as the witty,crazy,brave,extraordinary Captain Jack Sparrow, the success of a pirates movie is heavily resting on his shoulders. So with all this build up POC4 is surely gonna be a winner and to be honest it is a gr8 movie but well just not as good as its predecessors.

POC4 is largely been made without much of a story its been sorta forced , the characters are well made with Penelope Cruz at her best n Geoffrey Rush someone who pops into your mind whenever u mention the word pirate & Jack as usual is fantastic but due a lack of a thrill factor , no real suspense and an average climax POC4 is no match for its predecessors.

POC4 starts of where the 3rd part left off The fountain of youth sought after by the legendary Black Beard who has an unrealistic n over the top magical ship. The British, Spanish n Jack to seek the fountain. In the midst of all this the steaming Johnny-Penelope chemistry which the people love. The story progresses to getting to the fountain with Barbossa n the British forming and alliance and Jack,Black Beard on the other hand .......so who gets there 1st n uses the fountains magical powers is the gist of the movie.

POC series has its USP in Jacks crazy antics n how he accidentally manages to pull off amazing stunts however POC4 shows him in a different light altogether with him almost becoming a super hero jumping of cliffs n guiding even Barbossa to rob the Spanish. This is where POC4 loses out. Also the over the top Black Beard magic with a not so commanding character of Black Beard just doesn't work. Black Beard should take a note from Davy Jones in this regard. I also wish the 3d effects were used in a more efficient way to increase the thrill quotient.

All this being said i thoroughly enjoyed watching Captain Jack Sparrow return n wish he comes back with many more installments with the class of the first 3 .POC series has always been special to me although POC 4 may have a lot of flaws I just enjoy watching Sparrow too much.

I would give it 4 stars **** :)

Kung Fu Panda 2

Kung fu Panda 1 was one of the most 'awesome' (yes i am gonna use the cliched 'awesome' here) movies I had seen .....although it dint have dat much of a different concept i.e. the underdog rising up to become the hero it just had really great comic moments n a real good sense of direction... also the star cast of Black , Jolie, Hoffman & Chan was an added benefit .....so u could expect an amazing sequel .....So does the movie deliver ???

Well lets say almost ...... Now dont get me wrong i loved the movie but somewhere I found it a lil lacking in content .......the story is weak although the movie is very entertaining for such a storyline ........ its the age old story of the son avenging his parents with extraordinary abilities ....... the humor is ther yes but only in bits and pieces .......Kung Fu Panda's attempt to go down the parents line I thought was a lil similar to the Madagascar series...... I saw the 3d version n dint really find the 3d effects being used to its fullest ....... Having said all this the movie is an entertainer although I would have been really been happy with more comedy .....more visual effects using 3d...... I would give it 3 outta 5 :)

Regresar !!!

Hey I have been away for a while .... to be honest i really have not found the time to write during this time although u cant really say I was busy .........I just was not in the mood write neways during this time i have seen some amazing movies , i.e., since Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 1 they include Despicable me , Megamind (awesooomeness !!!),Easy A ,Tron Legacy, The King's Speech, No one killed Jessica ,etcetra ........ while Megamind ws amazing,tron's 3d sfx wer really good and No one killed Jessica announced the return of Rani Mukherjee in style.
