Banjo is a musical drama directed by Ravi Jhadav- a Marathi filmmaker who just entered the boundaries of Bollywood cinema. It stars Riteish Deshmukh, Nargis Fakhri, and Dharmesh Yelande. The music is composed by Vishal-Shekhar.
After watching this movie, I realized that this is a disgrace to Holi festivals in India. The performances in the movie were simply below average. I have a feeling that RD has become a lot like Shahrukh Khan just like the way he speaks, the way he moves, the way he expresses his feelings, etc. He gave a performance that was slightly better than what he did in Ek Villain. Nargis Fakhri's acting is like burnt biryani when there's no one who knows how to cook it and wouldn't taste it. The other performers were initially out of the right path during the movie. The music is terrible in the film. Songs like Udan Choo and Bappa are songs which will literally test your patience. Vishal-Shekhar failed in the aspect of delivering good songs for this movie.
While watching the movie, I noticed some logic fails in the film especially when it came to Fakhri's character. When she arrived in India, she had money to afford a cab, she has an Iphone 6s but she couldn't afford a hotel room or a place to stay with running water. How stupid could that get? This is like music in none of my ears with very clichéd moments. Also this will show the celebrations of Ganpatti in a very wrong way.
There are 2 good things about Banjo 1)Art Direction which keeps the execution tight 2)Editing which keeps it crisp and transitionally well paced.
Overall, I have one question. Are you in the mood of taking your wallet out of your pocket? The best place to do that is at a restaurant or someplace else where it is value for money but not the cinema. Honestly, this is like any other musical cliché film which I found slightly better than Vipul Shah's London Dreams and Subhash Ghai's Yuvraaj. Banjo is definitely a watchable movie but on Netflix or if it is on TV.
Not a good place to worship Ganpatti.
