... View MoreLet me save your 2 hours by writing this review with all spoilers. 'All is well' is about a son helping his father to sort some money related matters. He is disconnected from the family staying abroad. On receiving a call from the talented Mohd Zeeshan that he has to claim some money , he comes to India. On arrival, he comes to know he has to give the money to the goon to save his fathers bakery. From the time it starts till the very end, there isn't a funny scene and we just wait for the long 2+ hrs to get over. The goon is neither funny nor scary but irritating. 'Chaar Shanivaar' will add a track to the party- goers list. In terms of acting -- Asin acts dumb throughout, Mohd Zeeshan disappoints after some good previous roles, Ratna Pathak who delivered a great role in Ramleela is reduced to 2 lines here, Rishi Kapoor repeats an ABs Piku kinda role, Abhishek is stern throughout, he feels carrying one expression will make him sail through a movie .Overall, all is NOT well about this movie !.
... View MoreI am going to describe the four main characters of the film; it will be enough for you to decide if you should watch this utter fail at filmmaking.Junior Bachchan plays an arrogant son of a Punjabi sweet-maker who is now living in Bangkok after having run away from his house as a teenager on account of his father's abusive nature. Comparing his expressions to that of a wood would be an insult to the latter as he goes about ignoring the umpteen requests made by his presumed spiritual girlfriend who is desperate to marry and get laid. Playing his on-screen father is the talented Rishi Kapoor who unanimously wins the competition among the cast for overacting. Supriya Pathak makes being a mental patient look like the seven tests of hell. Last but not the least, Asin's Air India flight from Mumbai (and Bollywood) leaves this week.Within the first ten minutes one learns how laziness played a significant role in the making of the film. Who else would play an emotional song in between sequences where the characters are delivering dialogs important to the plot? There's only one thing that you would do after watching the film and that is feeling bad for the actors.BOTTOM LINE: All Is Well is a brilliant lesson in how to not make a film.GRADE: FVERDICT: Skip for life.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
... View MoreThis is an ad for the book Secrets masquerading as a movieIt's also silly, maudlin, reliant on slapstick and ludicrousness and has one of the worst soundtracks in recent memoryAbhishek returns home from Bangkok after ten years to find his dictatorial, stingy father, Rishi Kapoor, deep in debt to the local toughie, Zeeshan Ayub, and his mother, Supriya Pathak, suffering from Alzheimers. Salvation could lie in some jewelry, left in the safe- keeping of his mother's brother. Or the sale of his Dad's bakery – which the Dad is fundamentally against. Thus begins a ridiculous, hare-brained 'adventure', which also involves Asin (who reads Secrets everyday), and is about to go in for an arranged marriage, but wants to get married to Abhishek, only he is too grumpy / anti-marriage (having seen his parents loveless one) to do so Along the way, the father-son bicker and try to resolve their issues, the toughie's gang stumble and fumble their way around, stupid caricatures of Punjabi families abound, while Asin gives lovelorn looks and sheds silent tears. The performances are average – the only one who impresses is Zeeshan – and the music is downright terrible. The second half, towards the end, improves a bit and does make a few valid points but it's lost in the midst of the overall silliness. This is definitely a film that is the complete antithesis of its title Written By Apurv Nagpal author of Eighteen Plus for Bollywoodirect.com
