PANCH GHANTE MEIN PANCH CRORE: REVIEW

Banner : J. S. Movie Entertainment

Producer : Dr. Joginder Singh Padam

Director : Faisal Saif

THE STORY

Chartered accountant Vikram (Shahwar Ali) and his keep Soniya (Meera) who are waiting for another accountant Muqaadam (Rashid Khan) to deliver 5 crores hard cash at their farm house. Vikram works for Sultan Corporation which is owned by Sultan Khan (Ranjeet). As soon as Muqaadam delivers the money, Vikram and Sonia plan to kill Muqaadam and escape to Singapore next day with 5 crores to start a new life. Vikram and Soniya go exactly by their plan. Enter Karan Oberoi (Abhishek Kumar) whose car breaks down in front of Vikram's Farm House. Karan also happens to be Soniya's junior ex classmate in her college. Muqaadam's Girlfriend Reshma (Kavita Radheshyam), an ex exotic dancer who is waiting for Muqaadam to return, plans to take matter into her own hands. There is also a smart and strict Police Officer Raam Singh (Nasser Abdulla) who is in search of Truth.This is where the dirty game of love, betrayal, murder and deceit begins.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS

The film is full of Twists, Turns and Jumps which keep's viewer's mind engrossed throughout. The film is mostly shot on one single location and doesn't give you a boring view at all. The screenplay and dialogues (Faisal Saif) of the film is so tight that it keep's giving you Jolt's in every next scene. Faisal Saif is the same director who directed Hrishitaa Bhatt's 2006 controversial 'Jigyaasa' which failed at the Box Office. This time, He brings a Psycho Thriller and has succeeded in grabbing viewer's attention through his story telling. Director Faisal Saif has executed each and every scene of the film brilliantly. It almost very hard to make a Scary Thriller but Saif has succeeded in making this. The taking of every shot reminds you of a Quentin Tarantino cinema. The second best part of the film is Background Score (Leonard Victor), The score grows on you with the moving story. Pakistani actress Meera is the pillar of the story. She is highly dramatic, menacing and yet manages to get the audiences root for her from the very beginning. Supporting her is debutant Abhishek Kumar who performs his part very well. He doesn't look like this is his debut film. Another debutant Kavita Radheshyam is a surprise packet of the story. She is the same actress who landed in controversy with her semi-naked photo shoot on Save Tiger campaign. Shahwar Ali, Nasser Abdulla and Ranjeet are very good in their respective parts. The songs of the film are good, But such Genre doesn't really required songs and dances. The Editing (Ashutosh) and camerawork (Sumesh K.Chandran) is crispy and outstanding. Production and technical values are fair.

TRADE ANALYSIS

The film is very less Publicized and less Promoted film. The film's with Zero awareness has only one hope tagged with them is word-of-mouth.The film is also Pakistani actress Meera's second bollywood come-back film, but she has been not come to India for the promotion of the film. According to sources she is in Pakistan and praying for Ramadan. Also Kavita Radheyshyam’s controversy is not able promote the film. While the film is the spice of all kinds.   

Ath  the Box Office 5 GHANTEY MIEN 5 CRORE should not be missed and only word of mouth publicity will help this film grow.

Kissing and smiling all the way to the bank.

As just reported The Percept Picture Company has signed a Rs 15 crores contract with Emraan Hashmi. This deal comes after the success of Mahesh Bhatt’s recently released flick facing competition from the Big B’s release – and even the IPL Mania. Infact, even the Amitabh Starrer Bhootnath and the multi starrer Tashan did not meet positive response from apni junta.

The “Serial Kisser” is also a talented actor now has proved it in the latest flick Jannat which is a Box Office Hit.

Finally, apni junta has finally given a Green Signal to the Kisssssser Boy who has really worked hard all this time, since his Zeher and Awarapan times.

Patience finally pays, so does perseverance. But I did not know that kissing also pays. Shall I accompany you to the bank Emraan???
