MSG 2- The Messenger | Movie Review

Ratings:
Times Of India : 1/5

Story: MSG 2 - The Messenger is the baap of so-bad-its-good variety of films. You'll be guilty of clapping, hooting and rooting for Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan's superhuman stunts. All for an incessant two-hour long laugh session.

Review: I feel after having sat through MSG 2, might be more presumptuous even than most missionaries. Because who's to say aboriginal "Junglee" savages are any less civilised than a hirsute man who leaps off jeeps -- and onto elephants -- while dressed as Lady Gaga on a particularly technicolour day.

The theatre temperature is rising. Followers are chanting, "Dhan dhan satguru tera hi aasra," the slogan of Dera Sacha Sauda, a sect headed by Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. Meanwhile, some corrupt politicians, valorous army men and common social workers have got involved in the struggle to eliminate the barbaric 'adivasis' from the face of the earth. But, none of them is going to succeed because of one man's noble intention. By the way, that man is also the singer, editor, composer, writer and everything else of the film.

Katti Batti Movie Reviews : Total Waste of Time

Ratings: 
Hindustan Times : 1.5/5
Yahoo :                      2.5/5
Rediff :                       1/5

Lead actors Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut try their darnedest, but let’s face it, Advani and the script never come close to giving them a chance.

She is a wealthy jet-setter who capriciously travels across Europe and moves in with her man on a whim, after which she spends an awful lot of time texting her ex.

This is literally just the beginning, as Katti Batti goes on to verbalise the obvious over and over again.

Also, dear filmmakers, we must here interject a plea: do not give Ranaut English words to say unless you direct her into saying them right.

We know she’s a terrific actress and have gotten used to the accent, but here, in a film where she’s supposed to be a bohemian highly-travelled rockstar-pixie, it really, really jars when she pronounces ‘dramatise’ as drummatyze.

Advani’s last film, Hero, released just a week ago, and I decried it for being an unnecessary, mediocre remake.

But that was a lunkheaded actioner and we’re kind of used to those films being daft.

Heartbreak, on the other hand, is rarely this synthetic, this thoughtless, this obvious.

Katti Batti just smells wrong -- and that may well be the most universal dealbreaker of all.

The Avengers : Age of Ultron | Reviews

Ratings: Rotten Tomatoes : 81%

               Metacritic : 72%
               IMDB - 8.6/10
               IBN Live - 3/5
               TOI - 4.5/5

Story: 

When Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) jumpstarts a dormant peacekeeping program, things go terribly awry, forcing him, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and the rest of the Avengers to reassemble. As the fate of Earth hangs in the balance, the team is put to the ultimate test as they battle Ultron (James Spader), a technological terror hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they encounter two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.

 

Review: 

Avengers: Age of Ultron is one heck of a superhero orgy as the mighty six - Iron Man (RDJ), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Capt America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) come face-to-face not only with the invincible Ultron, but various characters like Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany). With these numerous characters put together, you can't wait for the 'party to begin' and Whedon rewards your anticipation, right from the beginning and maintains it till the end. Fangasm guaranteed.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is no less than a spectacle (the opening scene in particular with the heroes in slowmo - midair as they pounce on their enemies) and you get exactly what you pay for. The unparalleled action is of epic proportions and makes the mammoth destruction shown in Man of Steel and the previous Avengers film pale in comparison.

However, unlike the previous film which was more massy, this densely plotted sequel may appeal to the geeks more. For those not acquainted with the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), getting the threads together of this layered film could be a task. So, brush up on your Marvel jargon before watching this one.

And finally the big question - Is Avengers: Age of Ultron better than The Avengers (2012)? It is definitely bigger in scale and there's a romance brewing, but you miss Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his humour. If Avengers was a biryani, with all the flavours coming together seamlessly, Avengers: Age of Ultron is a desi thaali, full of scrumptious dishes, but a tad in excess. It's spectacular, yet can leave you exhausted.

Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sushant Singh, Tiger Shroff - actors who should work in Hollywood dance film's remake

Here we choose 5 most known Hollywood movies, and select some bollywood celebs who could replace those celebs in those movies.

We all are waiting for Remo D'souza's ABCD-2 to watch "Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan" hot and sizzlind dance chemistry on big screen in bollywood histiry. ABCD is the movie which gave us first taste of a dance movie in bollywood. We all are waiting for 19 June 2015 for ABCD-2 release to watch bollywood latest Basanti, Shraddha Kapoor's dance moves. This movie series remind me of hollywood movie series 'Step-up' which is a super hit also. So i had a thought in my mind if we replace some celebs from hollywood movies, which bolywood celeb could fit in that format.

1. Sushant Singh Rajput and Katrina Kaif :

Remember Sushant singh Rajput, when he came in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa!! I was not expected that much from him. I know that he is very good in acting, but i was unknown from his dance skills. He didn't showed up his dance talent in any movie yet. We all are waithing for that side of Shushant. May be my wish will fullfil soon. Now imagine him with our stunning Kamli, Sheila and Chameli - Katrina Kaif. Wouldn’t they rock together on screen. The two will be apt to essay Chayanne- Vanessa Williams’ role from Dance With Me and will scorch our screens.

2. Jacqueline Fernandez and Shahid Kapoor :

As we all saw Jacqueline Fernandez in Jumme Ki Raat song, she was super hot with her dance in kick movie. That was bollywood's top most seductive item number. She make my heart to skip heartbests And also Shahid Kapoor's dance in movie R..Rajkumar. He is very talented in his dance.He perform always well with his muscular body. He is not good acting but has his very impressive dancing techs. 

3.Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone :

Hrithik Roshan is doing very well from starting like Ek Pal Ka jeena from Kaho Na Pyar Hai. And he is continuously doing with his excellent body in Bang-Bang song Tu Meri. And deeppika Padukone also has perfact body line with her abs in Dil Mera Hit-Hit with shaharukh Khan and in 'Lovely' song.

4. Footloose - Tiger Shroff :

New male celebrity in bollywood we can't forget to spot Tiger Shroff from Whistle Baja, a Tribute video to Michael Jackson, this man stops heartbeats of her female fans with his dance. Kevin Bacon's role from Footlose definetly suits on Tiger. He is the only one who can replace him.

5. Flashdance - Priyanka Chopra :

Most Sexy and hot actress and singer also, who will play Alex’s role from Flashdance is only Priyanka Chopra. I remember her sizzling item song from Ram-Leela, where she’s teasing her Ram, all dressed in white. PC moves like Alex.

Let us know which celebrity you want to rock, give your opinion in the comments section below >>>

Disney's ABCD 2 | Trailer | Varun Dhawan | Shraddha Kapoor | Prabhudheva

Actress Shraddha Kapoor, who has delivered some smashing and energetic dance forms in the recently released trailer of Remo D'Souza's dance-based film ABCD 2, says she had to undergo extensive rehearsals for the role.

For her, "the whole film has been a training period".

"This whole film has been a training period for me. I have undergone changes both physically and mentally," Shraddha said here Tuesday during the promotion of the film on the sets of dance reality TV show Dance India Dance Super Moms.

During the Any Body Can Dance 2 trailer, some kid asks Prabhudeva — that legend with a shapeshifting jelly spine — who he is. "Should I tell him… or show him?", asks Prabhudeva, playing the crowd expertly. "Show him!", they yell justifiably, following which Prabhudeva does a mid-air split and breaks out his moves, moves followed loyally by his vibrant young bunch of popping-and-locking enthusiasts.

The kids are heading to Las Vegas for a hip-hop dance competition, and they move with extraordinary, epileptic fluency, led earnestly by Varun Dhawan and Shradha Kapoor who appear to have slaved away to hit their marks just right. The stars aren’t as striking as some of the other kids, but all of that choreographed movement on that scale does look impressive, even though it’s hard to figure just how 3D would help.

Maybe Prabhudeva will fling himself at the screen an awful lot. (But is that a good thing?)

There is obviously a fair dose of melodrama even in the trailer — some "cheater, cheater" chants are thrown accusingly at our local team in Vegas; Dhawan, wearing what looks like half of a Mahabharat costume, touches Prabhudeva's feet and looks very sorry — but overall this is a blingy dance film, and to that end, it looks fun.

Shraddha looks great, Varun brings that sincerity we know he’s capable of — even when tearfully saying lines like "we dance to express, not to impress" — and overall Remo D’Souza’s film could well be an entertaining ride — if you’re into that sort of thing.

In Theaters June 19, 2015.

Kangana Ranaut's crazy dance in 'Banno' song

Kangana Ranaut is once again ready to impress everyone with her latest song “Banno” from her upcoming movie ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns‘.

The actress, who has become the ‘Queen’ of all hearts now, has always surprised her fans with something new. Be it her acting, her dance, live shows or at award functions, she has always stood out of the crowd.

The song begins with the Haryanvi girl Kusum (Kangana Ranaut) trying to bash up Manu (R Madhavan) and his friend on a busy road with a hockey stick. Later, we see love blossoming between the two.

Apart from the love angle, we see the leading lady’s crazy, yet appealing dance moves that we have been missing ever since we saw her in ”Sadi Gali” and “Jugni” in the first part of the film.

With all the craziness that she could do in this one, we have our doting lover Madhavan watching her with a smirk on his face.

On the other hand we see the London return Tanu walking in the streets of her home town and later with her ex-boyfriend Raja (Jimmy Shergill), who gave her a tough time in the prequel, on a bike.

With all this and much more happening in a span of almost 2 minutes, we are amazed by Kangana’s enthusiasm in this one and we bet no one can do it better.

Watch 'Banno' song here:
