Quick Gun Murugun: Misadventures of an Indian Cowboy (2009)
QGM, a movie with a difference in all aspects
QGM is 0% Logic and 100% Magic movie. Rajendra Prasad is simply superb though out and surpasses the expectations in many a scenes. What I really liked here in QGM is its complete difference from a conventional movie. Be it comedy or Nasser's villainy. I think its better to create a new genre "QGM" just like Horror, Thriller, Drama etc. Such a fantastic entertaining movie is this one. There are scenes unimaginable & unthinkable but seriously worth watching coz its made so. I enjoyed all BULLET action sequences, particularly the 10 Step Western Spoof walk on Mumbai street where QGM's 2 bullets push back the already fired Rajasundaram's bullets back into his GUN !! What a scene.. A must watch in theater if u a fan of comedy movies coz u will miss the feel in DVD Version.
9/10 - In my opinion for this completely different genre movie....
The Pink Panther 2 (2009)
PinkPanther strikes again. Steven Martin is flawless throughout the movie!!
The first thing I or probably anybody could notice about this movie is its immense screenplay that makes us relax and enjoy the movie till the end without even turning your face away from the screen. Steve Martin is absolutely superb in his dialog, body language and gestures which he is naturally gifted with. Let me add some plus points before we get to the weaker aspects of the film.
The film storyline is good but its supplemented by some extremely good screenplay. Steve steals the show in almost all frames he shows up. Ponton (Jean Reno) closeau's assistant, is as decent as in the prior panther series. The detective duo Nicole(Andy Garcia) and pepperidge (Alfred) help the story moving faster in the middle and I should say the funny detective competitions which both along with steve try to do in crime scenes are interestingly hilarious. Their chemistry have worked out well. The sequences like closeau inspecting in avellaneda's villa, the infamous closeau car driving on Paris streets with pontoon, closeau uttering the security password of 'hamburger', closeau mistakenly identified as Pope are some of many in feathers in pink panther's hat. To me Aishwarya Rai is a real surprise package. She looks pretty and justifies the role given with her prefect English diction in dialog delivery and adds up more curiosity in the plot.
Focusing on some weaker aspects; we find ponton-closeau funny encounters very little which were extremely well drafted the first part. I am sure some more scenes of both of their funny training encounters could have been much better. Unlike the first part there are some minor logic failures in this one. Avellaneda (Jeremy) should have got some more serious sequences in the movie. The Japanese hack man added in the detective team is totally unnecessary in this script.
On the whole Harald Zwart - Steve Martin combo clicks and clicks in style. Kudus to Steve especially for continuing his perfect french-English accent. I am really taken aback by some critics who underrate this movie. I guess they should primarily understand Pink Panther series is really a perfect catch when a person enters a theater to laugh for the next 1.5 Hrs. I am sure this one helps a lot to accomplish it and even surpasses the expectation.
If you like some serious comedy along-with for your ticket money, its worth a shot.
9/10 in my opinion for this laugh-therapy.
