No Smoking (2007)
Disappointment
I expected a lot from Anurag Kashyap, as he was famous for being real and showing reality. But after watching the movie i didn't understand a single thing. What is the content of he movie. What message he wants to give ? I was completely lost. It was difficult to believe that the director of BLACK Friday made NO SMOKING. I saw 12- 18 people leaving the movie halfway. The only good hing about the movie was Ranvir Shorey who did brilliant job. It was a joy to watch Paresh Rawal not making a fool of himself. But his performance lacked a punch that the character demanded. And as you may have gathered, I still have no clue what the movie was about. And quite frankly, I don't want to know.You try so hard to understand what NO SMOKING tries to say, but the film is like one big puzzle that refuses to get solved.
Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2007)
Sholay great movie and Ram gopal Varma Ki Aag....?
Iam a Big fan of Mr Ram Gopal Varma but i could not believe that he made this movie. i was really disappointed.
Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag doesn't come anywhere close to the real Sholay. It does not leave a lasting impression on a viewer. Ram Gopal Varma fails to create chemistry between the characters . There is no camaraderie between Heero(Ajay Devgan) and Raj(Prashant raj). There are hardly any scenes with more than two people in the frame together. The sequence outside the courtroom with Amitabh Bachchan and Mohanlal face off is remarkable. Amitabh Bachchan should not have done this movie. Ajay and Sushmita sen was trying their best but no use. Rajpal Yadav's voice modulation - ineffective and rather pointless. Mohanlal did full justice and proved it again that acting is all about facial expression and body language. Rest of the cast was below expectation. The comedy situation which was adapted from the original sholay fall flat in this movie.
Ram Gopal Varma could have worked upon the script but because of the controversies surrounded against the movie he messed up and just for the sake of making he made this Aag. But there is no fire.
