Rang De Basanti is still rocking the box office, showing every sign of keeping the theatres packed and the least Fight Club will do is push some more audience to it. An idea borrowed from the Brad Pitt’s Hollywood blockbuster by the same name, a soundtrack lifted from some Pakistani band and a bunch of flop actors coming together to prove a point is what you get in the name of cinema here.
Vicky (Zayed Khan), Karan (Dino Morea), Somil (Ritiesh Deshmukh) and Diku (Ashish Chowdhary) are friends, who work as bartenders, gym instructors and the like. After witnessing some brawls and fights at bars and other places, they decide to form a fight club, where anyone is allowed to lent out his frustration and anger, and seek revenge with the enemy.
The business flourishes and some love stories make room for songs and dances. Amidst this chaos, some others like Sohail Khan, Suniel Shetty, Rahul Dev and Ashmit Patel enter the scene and what follows drives you crazy, putting it simply. Punches, kicks and what not! Hooo!
What was Vikram Chopra (director) thinking? The one thing that seems to be perfect these days is the visual appeal and that stands true for Fight Club as well. Where content fails miserably, digital technology comes to rescue, but it cannot save a film’s fate. The music b Pritam is just OK apart from a soft number ‘Bolo Na’, which is soothing to the ears and eyes, both. Dia Mirza as Zayed’s lover brings the screen alive.
All in all, Fight Club struggles between trying to be a typical masala entertainer and sleek, stylish flick, but fails at both. The camerawork is superb and amazing.
