Yeah, you read it right…its not shootout…its wrestling at
lokhandwala because if I remember correctly 4 out of 6 gangsters were killed while
wrestling with super hero cops!
And yes, Apporva Lakhiya does it again what he does best
i.e.
Mumbai Se Aya Mera Dost -
Utter Bullshit
Ek Ajnabi -
Frame by frame(and even dialogs) copy of Hollywood
classic Man On Fire…again…no credit to him
Shootout at Lokhandwala - Below Average
It looks like entire production house is confused with this
movie. These fools are trying to market the movie as based on real story and
saying that we did “extensive” research and they don’t have balls to show that
“Based on true story…” instead they come up with usual “All characters in this
story are fictitious…”…Blah Blah!
So that was my first shock. Then I understood what are songs
(all waste except Strings and Euphoria track) doing in this movies. This movie
shows how can some incompetent director spoil such a great plot…I missed you
Ram Gopal Verma!
Movie makes a stupid attempt at making it commercial by
badly mixing true story with usual Bollywood masala.
The Good:
Background
music rocks! Simply brilliant…it almost carries the film.
Amrita
Singh: Simply rocks as Maya’s mother. She excels as fearless, ruthless
women as well as scared and hopeless mother of a son who is under fire!
Award winning performance!
Vivek
Oberoi: As ruthless, fearless, cool
headed Maya he is awesome. His entry is best scenes in film.
Rohit
Roy: Next one who stands out amongst criminals. He delivers cracking
performance and excels in climax when he phones his parents.
Shabbir
Ahluwalia: Brilliant and believable.
Sunil
Shetty: Delivers a sincere
performance
Arbaaz
Khan: Competent
Bacchan’s: Used well in small roles
The Bad:
Sanjay
Dutt: I know I’m going to face
some criticism for this. OK, his styling is good but why is he behaving
like gangster…look at the way he walks. I expect much more from him. Why
carry a body language of a gangsters in cops role…sorry!
Tusshar
Kapoor: I know he is trying hard but poor guy simply don’t have an attitude
and body language of a gangster. Not believable at all!
The Ugly:
1. There
was no scope of so many songs in movie. Go watch RGV’s Company! Useless stuff! And
yes gangsters should dance like gangsters. Go watch RGV’s Satya!
2. I
guess instead of getting inspired from RGV’s Company, Satya.Approva is
inspired from Bhoot! Absolutely rubbish concept attached to much capable
Shabbir Ahluwalia’s role.
3. So
many cops firing at building with so many bullets and still what we get to see
is our super hero cops are soon out of bullets and starts wrestling with
gangsters.
a. Sanjay
Dutt Vs. Vivek Oberai: Sanjay Dutt Wins!
b. Sunil
Shetty Vs. Tusshar Kapoor: No
marks for guessing this!
c. Arbaaz
Khan Vs. Shabbir Ahuwalia: Yeah Arbaaz
wins!
d. Sunil
Shetty simply capters Aditya Lakhia and then Sanjay Dutt kills him in front of
press and public
- Gangsters
“visiting” cops and their families: Please don’t tell me that’s a true event!
- Rakhi
Sawant scene: Should win an award for
most ridicules scene of the year!
Film is simply no no for most girls and children. Loads of
blood shed and bhoot’s too…LOL!
My advice to Approva Lakhia is please stop making films. You
are simply incompetent. Its just not you field.
