Predators (2010)
What a waste of time!
I couldn't believe on these guys making such a pathetic movie in 2010! The director Nimrod Antal with his total lack of vision and imagination tried to show the Predators Planet by just showing 2-3 Predators :) and only a very small section of the vast green forest, hilarious actually! this Alien Race was shown as the most advanced and having high tech gadgets back in the Original 1987 movie, and their planet is just woods? lolz - No civilization, No ships, nothing :)
Director definitely had a very limited budget to only show 1-2 Predators at a time on screen, and taking Adrien Brody for the lead role in this one! lolz
Director tried his best to give reference to the original movie by having chats about the sole survivor, as he fought with the creature and survived, by taking the original soundtrack - but he was totally unsuccessful to create any thrill, or action in any of the sequences - all the action sequences were copied from other movies and the original one as well.
Mistakes and my frustrations: 1. The chasing dogs sequence - copy of the Jurassic Park 3 sequence 2. The team falling off the cliff into the water, same as the original movie where Arnold fell in water just escaping a hit from the creature 3. A stranger gives shelter to the team & trapping them, scene from Pandorum 4. The chasing dogs were not all killed but when the team arrives at their camp site, there are none! all vanished and never came back on screen 5. Only one ship is shown from a very distance and blown off :) and the list goes on!
Billu (2009)
Priyadarshan loosing his edge
Awfully bad movie with the very poor direction which is never expected from Priyadarshan. I couldn't make out if the movie was about 'billu barber' the character or it was all about Shahrukh Khan, actually it was all about Shahrukh Khan promo and that made it so boring and dull.
The movie is listed in the 'comedy' genre but comedy was no-where to be found.
Irfan Khan as always is an amazing actor but he made a mistake signing for this movie, I would suggest him to take the roles more carefully. Priyadarshan let everybody down. Songs are undoubtedly a major hit and they are really good too, but when you watch the movie, you'll be shocked that none of the songs fit into the movie at all, with a completely different production design and all.
don't waste your time and money on this one.
Chhodon Naa Yaar (2007)
A Failed Thriller became the ultimate Comedy
What a stupid movie it was, seriously awful. The worst example of first timer direction, I can actually point out the flaws where the director could have improved this movie to another level. 1. The Director failed to create the Curiosity in the viewers in the first half of the movie about the so called 'Project' the boys really want to go for 2. The sequence of the Tiger was pathetic, one could easily make out the screen color difference in the two separate shots 3. Why would the boys want to stay in the Forest another night without any reason when they already started off back to their jeep as they easily reached in a while from Jeep to Temple 4. The shots where 'Sunny' gets scared of nothing, where did his friends go away all of a sudden when they were all together in the previous shot. 5. In the same sequence, First Shot appears to be the evening time, Second Shot is they are sitting near the bon-fire, Third shot from a distance again appears to be the evening time without anything dark around, how bad it could be 6. The 'Dummy Images' part in the morning was unbelievably poor 7. and the climax, the two friends just vanished and the hero is alive and well without any scratch the next day he comes back to the forest to discover that his friends might have jumped the cliff over, give me a break!
I would really suggest Jimmy not to do just any movies comes his way, be thoughtful man and don't experiment on your career.
To be very honest, the performance of other two friends of Sunny was much more realistic and convincing than him.
