Phantom Official Trailer released | Saif Ali Khan | Katrina kaif

A very promising trailer with breath taking dialogues, seems the movie contain too much of cross country drama As Pakistan has been kept in the main stream of the movie, with dialogues like US walo ne OSAMA ko ghus kar mara, and a fight sequence starts in the trailer,, with lots of chasing, cops, gun fire and fight madness ending with the line said by saif as hum bhi ghus kar mare ge. don't know who is the one, but its for sure that the trailer has already created a buzz about the move and every one would like to be a part of this killing/

Bajrangi Bhaijaan review

Kabir Khan triumphs with a yet another winner with 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. Khan delivers a film that's heartwarming, emotional & extremely entertaining. And Salman is exceptional, delivering his finest performance to date in the title role. 

'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' Synopsis: A young mute girl from Pakistan loses herself in India with no way to head back. A devoted man with a magnanimous spirit undertakes the task to get her back to her motherland and unite her with her family.

'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' is a heartwarming tale about love & unity. Though a subtle father-daughter story at heart, the film is also an effective commentary on the India-Pakistan conflict/relationship, that exists even today. The narrative beautifully makes space for humor, strong emotions & also poignant drama. 

While the first-hour, set in India warms up, with defining its characters & shifting between songs, its the second-hour that takes 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' to the epitome. The story shifts to Pakistan & the series of events that follow with its endearing protagonist & the child, are undeniably engaging & moving. And the climax, though slightly melodramatic, that too leaves an impact. 

Khan, V. Vijayendra Prasad, Parveez Shaikh & Asad Hussai's Screenplay is excellent. It very believably blends many emotions & also courageously comments on the long-lasting topic of India-Pakistan. But its done effectively. Barring the slightly under-whelming climax, the Writing is consistently engaging otherwise. Khan's Direction is top-notch. He has handled the film with skill. Aseem Mishra's Cinematography captures the Stunning Locales of Kashmir, superbly. Editing is mostly crisp, although the film runs for over a 155-minutes. Music by Various Artists is lovely. Art & Costume Design are satisfactory. 

Performance-Wise: Salman is at his best here. As Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi aka Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the Superstar enacts the god-loving, clean-heart soul, with excellence. He's restrained, affecting & absolutely lovable, proving once again that he's much more than a box-offer thunder. He's the soul of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. Child Artiste Harshaali Malhotra is adorable. Her on-screen chemistry with Salman, melts your heart. Kareena Kapoor Khan is charming in a brief, yet substantial role. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is top-notch, yet again! He brings the house down with his brilliant comic-timing & walks away with some of the film's best moments, as well. Om Puri shines in a cameo. Sharat Saxena is good. Others lend fair support.

On the whole, 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' has its heart & soul at the right place. It wins you over completely, with its heart touching story. Strongly Recommended!

Bahubali review

BAHUBALI is much beyond thoughts of a spectator around the globe, featuring fight; adventure and ancient warfare give glimpse of the glorious past last about Indian history of kingdoms around 100BC. Though you cannot relate it to any mythology, historical character, however there are lots of action moments and war scene as long as 40 minutes to glue you on your seats for a unique breathtaking experience.

Prabhas plays lead cast as Shiva a second generation BAHUBALI. A super human prince and king in the making with all the flexibility, physique and strength no less than Krissh. Shiva takes up an initial mission of mountain climbing being motivated on the way through by a fabulous fairy. Shiva alias BAHUBALI finds way up sooner than expected where his own mission aligns to that of his finally discovered warrior sweetheart Avantika played by Tammana Bhatia. Shiva responds to the fairy’s call being of urgent concern rather than that of his own estranged and captivated mother calling from a long distance.

Tamanna adds up all the glamour to the first half while falling for BAHUBALI in an on the spot romance. Romantic acts are artfully done, featured in between exquisite costumes, look, locations and set designs. memorable.

Finally BAHUBALI gets through the mountains to discover a kingdom of magnanimous splendor to find his own biological mother captivated. Spectators are treated with the best visualization composed of grandeur, politics, revolt, revenge, rivalry, atrocity, loyalty, clan, vanity, beliefs, treachery, weaponry and warfare. The beginning sums up to a developed plot nailed by all well played characters being unveiled a bit late during the early second half laid a very strong foundation for the conclusion part of BAHUBALI scheduled for next year. The same may be expected to be epically great and entertaining as well.

Ramaya Krishna well known to the bollywood for the Khalnayak number plays a Mahanayak as a queen and loyal guardian together with Sathya Raj as Kattapa fiercely loyal field marshall. Both display strength of character and unflinching loyalty to the kingdom of Mahishmati.

On the opposite there are Rana Dagubatti playing Bhallal Dev as a runner up to throne of Mahishmati v/s BAHUBALI 1 as envisaged by a wicked Bijjaladeva played by Mohammed Hanif. Even more enhancement to the wickedness by the rival army of 100 thousand tribal’s and their chief, the makeover of the Devasena so terrified is good enough to put horror movies of Indian cinema to shame. The scene involving captivation of Shiva followed by action in the dark is never before mind boggling cinematography.

BAHUBALI raises the overall standard of film making of Indian cinema manifold generally. It is particularly perfect with regards to every technical aspect. BAHUBALI benchmarks Indian cinema to hollywood standard and is good enough to be viewed a number of times. You should spend a little time of your busy schedule to watch BAHUBALI at least once.
