Its a movie that SHOULD make you feel the actors sadness. The pain of parting with a loved ones and other such emotions. But the movie simply DID NOT build up the characters as well as it should have. The relationship wasn't built up to the moment, but was rather backtracked from a negative point in the relationship. After watching him talk about all the bad parts of the relationship for 70 % of the movie, you lose all kinds of empathy towards the actors. If you want to spend time watching a heartfelt and sad movie/show that would literally move you to tears, go watch "your lie in april". THAT is how this movie should have been made, not the way it was.
... View MoreThis could well be the last film, for both the Director Nikhil Advani and Actor Imran Khan, when viewers will take note of them seriously. The film is targeted to multiplex movie-goers of metros with Hollywood inspired story telling style. The movie opens up well, as was the trailer of the movie which generated some interest among the target audience, but as we move along the story, the viewers feel cheated and deprived of the value for their money. The first half of the movie was so badly presented, trying to copy from Hollywood movies, that the last 15-20 min of the movie which was the best part of the movie helped by fine performance by ever improving Kangna Ranaut, instead of leaving the viewers in tears left them laughing at poker-face of Imran Khan and that is the irony of the movie.The film is centred around Imran Khan in (500) days of summer style of story telling. The offence of the Director is not just in failed attempt of copying 4-5 Hollywood movies but he gave little interest in character building of both Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut. The role of Kangana, who is enjoying form of her life giving awesome performance in Queen and Tanu weds manu returns, in the movie except for last 15-20 min was meagre and she was left with only showcasing colorful, out of the world type dresses and ill-make up-ed hairstyles. The direction was good in only parts, trailer being better than the movie, and one wonders whether the movie is directed by some Ad director. Although, couple of song sequence was nicely filmed. The fight sequence in college, a sequence where Imran Khan pushes the bike while Kangana is still seated as pillion and a sequence in which Imran Khan's sister argues using facebook to convince Imran Khan that Kangana Ranaut is not committed to him is laughable, viewers's expect a lot better from the director.The supporting characters in the film are out of the world with a turtle as pet named Milkha, a south Indian boss who jumps and shouts at a decible which nearly ruptured viewers' eardrums, Imran Khan's sister who just tries to imitate the role of girl in (500) days of summer, college friends who can do anything to save 'not-so-dude' drunk guy from being caught by his parents, a male protagonist's best friend, a female protagonist's friend who is more worried about some Rs. 5 lac toilet seat pot than the condition of depressed Imran Khan and then there is a band group, every member of which is ditched by their better half, named F.O.S.L.A acronym for Frustrated One Sided Lover's Association, some may find it as newly invented word but the name is also borrowed from a not so famous Prakash Jha produced film Dil Dosti etc. The music of the film is average and one soon forget it as he/she steps out of the hall.The biggest let down of the movie is undoubtedly Imran Khan. The whole movie was centred around him but he gave a very poker-faced performance where he should have tried harder to twitch a facial muscle or two. In many sequences his acting made it look an average scene which should have been emotionally exhaustive scenes. His acting in later, serious part of the movie was summed up by the viewers' laughters in the partially filled hall where the director would have intended the spectators to shed some tears.Overall, the movie is a big let down and raises the question mark on the future career path of both director Nikhil Advani and the male protagonist Imran Khan.
... View MoreA film that ends with patti shatti!A long drab that tried desperately to make the viewer cry but failed at it coz' the viewer was already dead watching the pathetic pranks of college going idiots!! Story line:A negligibly dressed college female instantaneously falls in love with a dope male. She was in a relationship with another guy but she left him for the dope. She made a very quick decision here.Female was rich whereas the dope was not as rich as her – just belonged to a middle class family.Male and female are shown in compromising position in a small car – smooching and all – but indication is given that they were just cuddling kissing etc and not 'eff-ing'. Which also means that the girl – although who dressed mostly like how 'sl*ts' dress in India (that is what 90% of Indians believe btw. That a female who dresses up cheaply gives out vibes of being available and is game to jump on bed with anyone who catches her fancy! – yes, I know many people will scream and shout after reading the above line – but I am stating facts – and truth is always bitter) - she was a pure virgin – i.e. she had not even slept with her previous boyfriend (quite possible though). Then the dope and the rich female decide to live together! Wow! Such a modern thought that was!Then they mock at the sanctity of marriage! They pull in the dustbin, light the garbage lying in it – and start taking rounds of it (pheres) and then dive on bed...again! So basically this scene shows the utter failure of the institution of marriage! Both were from different family backgrounds – yet both mocked at marriage! The dope's parents seemed pretty simple and decent who must have done everything to raise their children as best as they could – but still their son turned out to be a drunkard and frivolous idiot who happily started to live together with a female. The female's parents are not shown in the film – but looks like they were filthy rich and let their daughter enjoy trips abroad and do whatever she felt like – live in, live out, not live – whatever! Then they started to fight. They parted ways. Later dope came to know that the female used to purposely fight with him because she was suffering from cancer – brain cancer I think – and hardly had any time left with her ...so she wanted him to hate her and start life afresh! Dope finds out and brings her back to his dilapidated apartment. She dies in the shabby surroundings.Conclusion – What can such dumb fools achieve by surviving anyway? Such frivolous fools bring forth more confused brats on planet earth and ruin the progress of the world! Such live-in fools can continue living –in but not bring forth children before wedlock because ultimately it is children born to such irresponsible idiots that create all the ruckus in the world!USP - The potty training scene by Kangana- There is something called potty –training that responsible parents (mothers especially) teach infants during their infanthood! Seems the dope's mom never gave him any potty training...and ultimately the rich female had to impart this basic knowledge to the dope! So basically even if she had not died of cancer – they would still have parted ways – a rich female belonging to high class and culture could not have continued to live with some uncouth middle class loser male for long...
... View MoreKatti Batti is like watching poor watching version of "Sweet November". Boy met girl they both fell in love and one day " snap" girl left the boy without saying anything. We have seen all these kind of stuff in many movies and we have this again. Katti Batti is extremely boring, dull and way too much dragged. Too many loopholes in plot and complete half baked story is the biggest drawback. What's good : The chemistry between Imran and Kangana looks good and carried well. Picturization of song lip to lip is done very well.. Apart from that nothing holds you to entertain. What's Bad : So many things... Sleek storyline, dull and dragging plot as I told already. Some stupid jokes which not going to make u lol.. and comic scenes are forcefully pushed between nowhere... Supporting cast seems like took for granted all they can have is address and contact number & rescuing Imran khan from another heart break... too dramatic scenes like " maa ke kangan" and pet like " Milkha" seriously..???Now main star cast.. Imran Khan... He is the main star of the movie and he tried so much to make this movie work and somehow it worked... but all we know it's not his fault. It's his choice of movies. Emotional scenes are carried nicely by him but sometimes it's not...Now kangana.. honestly the reason I saw this movie is bcoz of her and I really disappointed coz she's hardly there. After making some brilliant movies why did she drained all her versatility by doing this kind of stuff where she don't have anything to do... I really wanna ask her what she did and why??Now we have Nikhil Advani.. I think after kal ho na ho. He forget how to make a good movie. And it seems like he is giving competition to sajid khan and others like him to make more craps... so I really wanna tell him that take as much as time you want. Come with a good story and make something which makes us forget what mess he done after kal ho na...All in all Katti Batti has nothing to offer anything new.. it's just old, boring and insensible movie wrapped into old and boring love story and too much emotions that makes you nothing but yawn... don't waste Ur time or money on that..
