After an intriguing opening twenty minutes, 'Tashan' stops making any sense. Saif Ali Khan has a weak role and does little with it. Akshay Kumar rise above the script and remains watchable. Anil Kapoor is disastrously bad. He mumbles his lines and his Hindi-English dialog simply annoys. The makers clearly forget about the script. They seem to have spent all their time on the look of the film. Yes, it IS stylish and the visuals are nice, but the film simply doesn't work. The songs are mediocre but well shot. A few numbers could have been cut. A disappointment.Overall 3/10
... View MoreI just saw Tashan.Why do you guys who says this movie is bad? This movie is cool.Some d**b f*** critics compared it with Ramgopal Varma Ki Aag.Either they have not seen Aag or Tashan.I saw both of them.Aag is the worst movie I have ever seen.It was a complete disaster in every department.Cult classic Sholay did not receive such a punishment.As in the case of Tashan, it is 1 billion times better than Aag.It is not for intellectuals or for people looking for a solid script.The truth is the script is as old as the hills.But the movie is not boring.Not even for a nano second.The credit goes to the four main actors(Akshay,Anil,Saif and Kareena delivered superb performances.),the dialogues,the songs(Tashan Mein and Dil Dance Maare rocks), the choreography, the sets, the background music the action scenes and the pace of the movie.The action scenes could have been better. Also the henchmen of Anil Kapoor were ridiculous.The movie would not have been half as entertaining without Akshay.You will love his character.A wannabe shooter with a heart of gold.He is the soul of the movie.A perfect weekend movie.Just sit back and enjoy.NB: Maybe I should also say that you have to be an Akshay Kumar fan in order to enjoy the movie.I am one.For the past 14 years
... View MoreThe quality of YRF sinks with each passing movie. Aditya Chopra trying to helm using "one-man-show" technique is apparently leading to drastic fall in the quality. While the contemporary production houses (Adlabs, UTV etc) are slowing garnering hits into their kitties, YRF is pocketing flops. The entire team should be re-vamped IMO and more importantly do away with the old tried and tested formula, which worked once upon a time. Times have change, so please change! Chak De is a classic example out of your portfolio.The movie bears a lot of North Indian touch, language, accent, location, songs and dance perhaps trying to replicate Bunty N Babli? Well falls flat! Songs and dance:: Pathetic would be the nearest word perhaps? Anil Kapoor:: Leaves a mark with his performance.Akshay/Saif/Kareena:: Average. A note on Akshay/Saif - every time they shared screen, why were they reprising characters from "Main Khiladi Tu Anari".Story: Emphasis is more on style and action (and the twists and turns) owing to which doesn't leave an impact. The narrative carries Tarantino-style, but was it warranted? Bollywood is coming of age:: The expletives of Saif to Kareena & Akshay's signature stroke. Finally, over the top tributes to Big B and Yash Raj movies (blowing your own trumpet eh?).
... View MoreI had never thought the standard of Yashraj films would ever degrade to such an extent! The film has a nonsense storyline which catches no interest.Saif has over acted. Kareena has improved her figure, but is not a good actress anyway. Akshay is good. Anil is also good. May I say the role wasn't good..Great deal of cheapness is filled in. Wondered if that was supposed to be the "comedy part" of the movie. Just because last few movies were flops does that mean Yashraj films should make this kind of rubbish? It has a history of so many good films. Overall, I was totally disappointed with the movie.
