Heroes hindi Movie Don’t miss .....

Samir Karnik after two back to back flops (Kyon Ho Gaya Na and Nanhe Jaisalmer) makes a grand comeback with a Heroes, a good film that tugs your heart strings and makes you think.
It tells the story of two aimless youth Sammy (Sohail Khan) and Ali (Vatsal Sheth) who have to travel a thousand miles to deliver three letters as a part of their film school assignment. But little do they know that the journey they have embarked upon will end up giving a new meaning to their life. Unfolding in three chapters it tells peaks into the lives of Balkar Singh (Salman) and Kuljeet Kaur (Preity) in the first chapter, brothers Vikram (Sunny) and Dhananjay Shergill (Bobby) in the second chapter and that of Dr. Naqvi (Mithun) and his son Sahil (Dino) in the final chapter.
How Sammy and Ali’s encounters of heroes in real life changes their attitude towards their own life and our country forms rest of the film.
It is a very good subject that doesn’t involve any jingoism from our country’s army men characters to prove their love for the nation. Though the opening sequences (including a mindless song) appear a little irritating, the film takes a good turn once the chapters start unfolding back to back. The culmination is the high point of the film which makes us all feel proud for country and our army men and also makes us realize at the same time that you don’t have to be in the army to be a real hero. Every common person has it in him to be a Hero. The title of the film couldn’t have been more apt.
Scenes between Salman and Preity, Bobby and Sunny have turned out very well. You are in tears in most of the places. This film is a pleasant surprise if you go in without any expectations. The performances by every single actor take this film above average. Salman and Preity not only look like a real couple but they are very much in character appearing real Punjabis. Sunny gets some whistle blowing moments after a long time in a Bollywood film. Bobby in a short role impresses and so do Dino and Mithun. Vatsal shows remarkable improvement as an actor post his disastrous debut in Tarzan the Wonder Car. Sohail with his witty one-liners keeps you engaged and shows the transformation of his character very well. Amrita and Riya hardly have any role to speak about.
Samir Karnik deserves kudos for choosing a great subject and narrating it very well. He has very well incorporated strong emotions that bring a tear to you eyes. Don’t miss this film; we are sure you will come out a changed person when you see it.

C-KCOMPANY: A Madness of Ekta Kapoor

In this movie Akshay Kumar (Tusshar Kapoor) is a crime show anchor on a news channel who aspires to elope with don Dattu Satellite’s (Mithun Chakravarthy) sister (Riama Sen) to Dubai. Joshi (Anupam Kher) is a retired accountant whose affluent son treats him like a liability. Lambodar (Rajpal Yadav) is handicapped by his height (or the lack of it) and ridiculed by his wife and son.

Drenched in despair, the trio makes a hoax call to Joshi’s son and ask for extortion money posing as a fictitious underworld gang called C Kkompany . Word spreads about this fabricated gang and soon it becomes the talk of the town. The trio uses the newly and accidentally acquired fame of C Kkompany to their benefit and start helping the common man through their con call warnings. Meanwhile Dattu faces a business threat with the arrival of his rival in underworld.

The major aspect where C Kkompany scores is that it’s a credible comedy which doesn’t take the logic-less path. Writer-director Sachin Yardi comes up with an interesting premise and handles it effectively to an extent. He faintly ignites a social revolution with the glorification of C Kkompany as a modern day Robin Hood gang but isn’t able to capitalize it to Gandhigiri extents like Munnabhai attempted.

Another highlight of the humour is the audacity of producer Ekta Kapoor to laugh on herself and her Balaji soaps that make up for some genuinely funny gags. Anyone who hates her sloppy soaps would love this film for the unapologetic take-off on the clichés that those serials resort to. Yardi exploits all our daily drawing room allegations on Balaji soap operas and very authentically interprets them in his film using our mundane nitpicks to his merit. Rarely do celebs indulge in self-satires and even if they do, it’s when they are down and out. It’s nervy of the Balaji team to spoof themselves when they are still live and kicking.

All said and done the film isn’t flawless and comes with its share of inconsistencies. This one could win an award for the ‘most abrupt and unwanted item numbers’ in Hindi films. Firstly Celina Jaitley lacks item appeal and from where in the world does she appear onscreen to dance with Tusshar Kapoor? They no more bother to even justify it as a dream sequence. Yawn! The soundtrack is a compilation of interrupting item number garbage. The editing is rather loose and some scenes go on and on even after the humour has ended.

From the cameos, Mahesh Bhatt is senselessly wasted as a talk show host without any purpose, parody or humour. Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor are used more reasonably though Ekta is awfully camera conscious. The horde of other television celebrities fail to recreate an Om Shanti Om kinda starry appeal which the background score attempts to suggest while playing the OSO title track.

From the cast, Anupam Kher and Rajpal Yadav have better comic timing and show more screen presence than Tusshar Kapoor. Tusshar isn’t bad but should strictly stay away from item numbers that are incorporated for visual appeal. Raima is redundant. Mithun Chakravarthy is enjoyable as long as he hams.

In the age of farcical humour, here comes a comedy that surprisingly isn’t straight-out slapstick but has some story attached to it. Don’t expect it to be immaculately intelligent and you could enjoy C Kkompany with its limited loopholes.

Because it is for me only serial mafiya Ekta Kapoor's MADNESS.
