It was a nice Friday evening and we thought (bro n me….at the end forced sis to come) going for a good movie would be a perfect ending for the day. We browsed through the papers and decided on TASHAN because of its star power and “the banner- Yashraj Productions”…….SIGH! Little did we know that Tashan would have a complete opposite effect to our jolly moods that day.
Enthusiastically we went to Cauvery but to our luck we didn’t get the tickets. We ignored this warning and again travelling all over the city we came to Abhinay to get tickets. Here we got tickets and went inside for the horror to begin.
Ok, the star cast in this movie – Saif Ali Khan, Akshay kumar, Anil kapoor and Kareena kapoor (or is it kareina or something?) director some unknown guy, music by Vishal - Shekar. So far sounds good rite???
In the first scene they show a red car going on a road surrounded by beautiful scenery plunge into a lake nearby and a gun kept on Saif s forehead….and we were like…”Wow looks interesting….." little did we know that the the movie had fallen off the crevice in the first scene itself.
Saif, works in a call center. He tries to be the cool dude as in Salaam Namaste and till the end he keeps on trying, never succeeding. Akshay Kumar aka Bachchan Pandey (was it to poke fun at Amitabh Bachchan?) is the local don in some town in U.P who idolizes the big boss , Don Anil Kapoor. Kareena looks anorexic in that thin look….she should stop starving (or working hard as she calls it) because it simply doesn’t suit her. And then there is Anil kapoor…the don who hires Saif to teach him English so that he can talk good English like George Bush to his foreign delegates. He tortures us throughout the movie with his bad English like “tum usko pakaoing and sccchooting "(read as – you catch and shoot the person).
Kareena tries to be the sexy, cool girl who fools men by her acting and seduction. She is the secretary of Anil Kapoor, who steals money from him with the help of Saif. Knowing this Anil sends Akshay to search and bring them back with the money.
That’s the story nothing else.
Akshay is made to do some stunt scenes like 100 men with guns shooting at him…but akshay dodges them all and flies from one wall to another and climbs walls with his bare hands and many such scenes continue fooling the audience in the theatre until they faint . Seriously, Spiderman and James Bond would commit suicide seeing such stunts.
And the music and videos are horrible. They don’t complement each other and to the film on the whole.
If u want to give somebody MENTAL TORTURE - take them to TASHAN.
THE ULTIMATE GYAAN after seeing this movie is only if u see such BAKHWAAS movies once in a while…u will be able to appreciate some good movies.
