Re #Sultan ! It’s all about Salman Khan
Thursday, July 7, 2016
Verdict: 3 /5 Stars
Once again he proves himself as an undisputed Sultan of Bollywood, believe me nobody is close to him. His swagger movement, groaning attitude and power of being #SalmanKhan is what people wants. I always questioned him for his acting skills, but he is a champion of entertainment, so again in the midst when Bollywood is actually suffering from big crisis and desperately needs Magnum opus hit Salman Bhai reins their appetites with his multi-fashioned styles.
#Sultan is a kind of fictitious biographical drama, about a self-styled wrestler living in Haryana who wins Olympic and become world champion. His girlfriend (#AnushkaSharma) cum wife plays a very important role in his life to become a greatest wrestler. This film starts with the early climax, Director already set the premises where I was little annoyed because this similar establishment had already been put in movie ‘Brother’ but this is the only analogy which complicates me but when Mr. Director #AliAbbasJafarpulls us back to almost 8 years and shows the inception of Sultan (Salman Khan) I felt calm, so the simple 30 year old unemployed village man still runs to catch the kite has no proper mission in life suddenly falls in love with female wrestler (Anushka Sharma) who is preparing for #Olympicswith full passion, once humiliated Sultan in front of his friends and from there his successful journey begins but tragic mid time crisis destroys his life, but you know he is Salman Khan so he must come back….
The most powerful elements of this film is Haryanavi Dialogues but those are not only dialogues or a matter of communicating things but what I learn was the actual theorem of language that it comes, delivers or shows you nature and even temperaments of society, and Mr. Jafar goes very far with this, he abbreviated an all new things where we can feel the nature of Haryana and that is commendable. As a gritty female Anushka Sharma was just fantastic, she was so adorable in this film that sometimes you take liberty to shift your eyes from Salman Khan, even long time missing from screen #AmitSadh looks good and smart but again playing as a special guest appearance #RandeepHooda won the heart of people, he was just charismatic. And i specially mention #Anantsharma (Sultan's Friend) actually did the most fantastic and fascinating performance and clearly a winner in supporting role.
Over all and above all It’s a Salman Khan film and he knows that people loves him in any which way. He single handedly carried this film not just as Salman, the Charmer but also as a performer, it is as if everybody was doing this from the bottom of their heart. Even the film Director does not show Salman Khan as an arrogant messiah of masses, he used simple tools to lure people that How humble Bhaijaan is ?
Some intense fights were remarkable, and Salman khan did them with full of energy, I loved that shot where for the first time he takes off his shirt not to show his packs but his unshaped belly. That was the point I felt that he has acting skills but very few in this Industry has shown.
This film is an accumulation of emotion, action and stardom, little slow in first half but doesn’t matter that pushes this to not a regular action film, it shapes Salman Khan in different way.
If you want to reach-out for sober entertainment, go for it, you will definitely not get disappointed.
Special Thanks to Mr. #AdityaChopra.
#UDTAPUNJAB is nothing more than a propaganda film…

Verdict: 2 /5 stars
Poorly
crafted, seems deliberately enacted with marketing strategies. It is too lighter
than the gruesome truth that Punjab is facing. In this documentary cum episodic
plot I kept my mobile on and scrolled it just to avoid being repetitive. I am thinking if Mr. Nihlani has given this
film a smooth go then what would have been the fate? This movie is not worth of all the hype which
was rigorously circulated by the media. Why Mr. Nihlani gave-away the much
practisized tools to the makers, who already knew that #Udtapunjab will squat just
after its release, but controversies draws attentions yet it’s still unable to
create buzz in people’s mind. I was sitting in the vacant theatre, rolling my
thoughts up and down, frequently pulling the bathroom door, spraying the
commode, styled my moustache, refraining myself to enter the screening room but
when I managed to set-in, the similar plots were showering…. What the “F” ?
The
problem is not only to understand situation of Punjab but in a more vigorous
way it lies being an aficionado of International Cinema, when it comes to
characterization it becomes so unrealistic where you couldn’t possibly attach a
bit with it… unwanted madness, lame graffiti of society, still fearful to reach
in-depth. This is certainly not a Chaubey’s style of filmmaking he was surely
under the influence of those cinemas like Requiem for a dream. This must have
thrived his mind so badly that the result was pathetic, far away from the core
facts.
For that
matter just take a character of Tommy (Shahid) a singer, he is extremely
volatile, boorish, turbulent, drawn by cocaine, suddenly gets enlightened in
police cell and throw lectures during his show. When u keenly observes this
entire episode, you got amazed that there is no SEX exists in the so-called
drug ghettos. The minute your thought goes minus sex, you lost the way then and
there. The wildness of drugs are very much proportionate
to sex and women.
I have no intention to write its storyline,
because it’s again a torture. Different-2 characters placed into circumstantial
conditions, moving along with director’s demand not by their own merits.
Exercising with ongoing situations and finally they all gathered like Priyadarshan’s
climax. The End.
But there are some “Aha’ moments like Shahid’s
performance was remarkable, I love the way Alia spoke in Bihari slangs, her
efforts were visible. Kareena Kapoor looks old and pitty, Diljit was very
natural and I must say he left his presence.
It’s a very melodramatic film, relying totally on
editing but sometimes those cuts were so sharp that left you empty handed.
After all very edgy cuts it’s a very lengthy film and if you want to know the
Punjab’s problem in a superficial way then go and watch.
