Bombay Velvet

Set in 1960s; Movie tells you the story behind Bombay leading its way to be a major City of India, Business Capital of India; Manhattan of India. How a small group of big shot gangster, politician, industrialist, investor play around for their own benefit to make Bombay, One Big City. 

Production director has beautifully re-created Mumbai to Bombay making you feel that you are in 1960s; be it vintage car, bar, high society club, newspaper publishing house, building, rail tramps, police, attire - fashion style, you mention it anything. Everything seems so perfect for the Era 1960.

Ranbir Kapoor (Johnny Balraj) plays a small crook by robbing people on street, bus, tramps; along-with his childhood friend. Both shares close relationship since they meet each other in childhood days. One Classic Hollywood movie scene where a gangster dies in arm of his lady love; when asked who was he? lady love replies "He was a Big Shot"; this scene changes the mindset of Ranbir and now Ranbir wants to live and die being a Big Shot.

Journey begins when Ranbir (Johnny) tries to rob Karan Johar (Khambatta) but fails; still Karan sees some potential in Ranbir and makes him man of crime with price paid for it. Slowly, gradually Ranbir gains confidence of Karan and becomes favorite. He makes Ranbir a manager of famous Bombay Velvet Club. 

Rosie (Anushka Sharma) plays a singer in club; perfect with fashion style statement and is lady-love of Johnny. But Rosie is sent to club with a mission of Khambatta's rival; Jimmy (newspaper publishing company head). Story revolves between Johnny journey to be big shot, Rosie to play lady love as well as confused between love and purpose of being with johnny, Jimmy intention to disclose Khambatta ambition of grabbing land and leaving thousand of mill workers go jobless, few minister, industrialist and investor helping Karan to make Bombay Big City. 

Ranbir (Johnny Balraj) shows Shammi Kapoor hairdo and looks great; but I am not convinced with his gangster role as his boyish and chocolaty image does not leave him. Anushka (Rosie) too is perfect in fashion sense, looks flamboyant for 60s era; nothing much to watch her as she is seen more of singing on stage. Karan Johar (Khambatta) debuts in acting and would suggest him not to take work in which he is not capable at all. Jimmy (newspaper head) and Kay Kay (playing as investigation officer) does good act. 

Personal Verdict:- Songs are irritating to watch and listen on-off screen. Except production set, fashion statement, attire, nothing worth in here. More shining and glitters is been shown; the less it is in movie.You can predict what to going to happen and still you got to wait long for same to happen. Stretched in boring manner. This Bombay has nothing smooth and good feel as Velvet has. Its rightly said "ALL THAT GLITTERS, IS NOT GOLD".  **/5 from me.

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai - Movie

KUCH BHI LOCHA NAHI HAI......

Ram Kapoor and Sunny Leone starrer Kuch Kuch Locha Hai got to be sex comedy movie and with lot of lochas in it. 

Movie starts with Ram Kapoor history and typical Gujarati background values. He settles in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia after marriage to open DVD store. You got to believe within few years, Ram Kapoor becomes rich and has a flamboyant bungalow for a family of 3 members only. He, his typical garba-cum-Michael Jackson lover Gujarati Mehsana wife and his son. 

Every person has crush on Heroine / Actress and so is shown here Ram Kapoor has intense crush for Sunny Leone. He has secret vault where he keeps all Sunny Leone DVDs and heart shaped pillow with her photo on it. 

Sunny Leone is top respected bollywood actress and is on way to Malaysia to be a part of reality show. Prize of reality show is she, Sunny Leone. You read it right. Even Sunny Leone seemed excited while discussing with her director "I am taking part of reality show and guess what, Winner will get me. I am prize of reality show" Every Man dream gonna be fulfilled if such would be case. Next min, its been cleared that Winner will win a date and have dinner with Sunny Leone, top bollywood diva actress.

As predicted, Ram Kapoor wins the contest and goes on for date. Sunny Leone request Ram to be  his guest for few days, stay at Ram Kapoor home and experience Gujarati environment (note:- her director in India advised her to stay with Gujarati family to get life of them and bring real behavior in role for next movie signed between them). So as expected, real lochas will start now. 

It went on simple. Ram kapoor made simple fake call and sent his wife to India stating her mother is serious. He convince easily his son to act as his father; thereby his son convinces his girlfriend to be his dad's mother. Ram Kapoor states himself as bachelor and tries to woos his crush. It has very simple end to Ram Kapoor crush dream; Ram Kapoor feels insecure when Sunny is with her co-actor and when Ram confronts all this; Sunny Leone ask him to marry and accept his heroin lifestyle, work, profession and culture. He can't marry but he will do anything for her and Sunny Leone mentions "She will ask what she wants at appropirate time" leaving Ram's home.

Next day morning, when Ram is back home upset, he finds home decorated and some marriage preparation going on. He is confused when all (neighbour, friends, relatives and even his son) greets him and congrats him. He ask why are all making him marry and with whom? There Sunny Leone is sitting on Chair. Ram Kapoor is aback but then Sunny Leone walks through him and bring a lady in front of her. "Marry Her, This is what I want" Sunny smiles. Ram Kapoor says no to her and say he loves his wife so much and got his eyes-open; realized his mistake. 

Conclusion:- Nothing sort of lochas seen here. It should have been laugther riot but i hardly got any laugh. I think they have not even tried to input more lochas as the title stated. Story is old and loose. Got to be more of comedy but nothing of sort to enjoy. Only one thing I liked is the Songs (real nice songs; u will love while listening). No acting, no story, nothing to watch. Just for Songs, I will give * star. Either way it would be correct "KUCH BHI LOCHA NAHI HAI" as expected from title and for director, story writer, producer "BAHUT KUCH LOCHA HAI" as no one work from heart or mind.

PIKU Movie

MOTION SE HI EMOTION....

8th May Morning Show 9:30, I was in theater to watch PIKU with very little expectation; for which I had obvious reason. Poster were not that attracting nor promising for me. For me, it seemed to be father-daughter relationship in a typical behavior.

I would say PR, word of mouth, teaser were quite good enough to create buzz called PIKU. I was here for Deepika, Irrfan and Amitabh Sir power pack performance will be strength of movie.

I got seated comfortably at D6. Wait for movie ended with the sitar typo indian music showing credits and titles which was quite slow; inducing audience including myself to sleep. I was banging my head, GOD have to help me bear with whole movie if such is the starting sound track. "It gonna be real bore and slow movie" was the message from music hitting my mind thoughts.

Movie starts with a scene where an erratic father is walking here and there to create pressure within so as to go for motion; and frustrated daughter is shouting at him "Go and Sit on commode; it will come automatically" Father replies "Its my internal system. I know better than you and will go inside when it signals me to pass Motion". I was like What a debate!!!! What a start !!! What a discovery !!! MOTION SE HI EMOTION.

Big B (Amitabh Sir) never behave normal if he finds all this health report are normal; he wants to have some problem within; constantly nagging, irritating and no one can understand what is in his mind. No doubt, why his wife died at early stage and why deepika is so frustrated, moody, over the top attitude always. So then I thought its not story of normal father-daughter but its between irritating father-frustrating daughter.

Big B is such a irritating guy where even maid won't work at home. Deepika has already changed four maid within 2 months and the fifth one replies "Please madam, Get Married and settle elsewhere. I will work at your in-laws home but never at your dad home"

Moody and frustrated Deepika leaves for office daily in a taxi (her company has a contract with taxi company owned by Irrfan for pick and drop services); all anger, frustration is vent upon poor taxi driver. Every other day, taxi is met with an accident due to over commanding Deepika. Either driver is not efficient in driving or Deepika is constantly venting her anger making driver to lose driving sense on road. Hence no driver is ready to drive for Deepika request; but due to boss Irrfan command they have to agree helplessly.

Within fifteen minutes; how to pass motion, color of motion, medicine for smooth motion and every such shit talk been discussed. Deepika is in meeting, and her secretary comes with message of Big B having query for motion; Deepika goes for dinner with a decent guy and Big B calls to discuss about color of motion; Guy overhears the same, makes an excuse to cancel dinner date. Now it been shown again "MOTION SE HI EMOTION".

I never knew Delhi is such a straight forward city and girl like Deepika would be also. Sex is not pleasure but a need. Deepika has frequent physical relationship with her company partner as and when she in mood of sex or say need of sex. Just like "No Strings Attached" "Friends with Benefits" have sex for mood or need or pleasure but never stay committed. Big B introduces Deepika to other prospect guy "Hey, She is my daughter PIKU and she is not virgin" What a liberal father!!

Suddenly Big B want to go Kolkata (being Bengali origin); he fears by air as it may give him heart problem and mostly stomach uneasiness and he cant even flush in small restroom of plane; he don't want to go by train as train shakes a lot and again he cant go for motion peacefully with constant noise and shaking in restroom; hence he decided for taxi because as per his convenience he can get down and go out for peaceful motion.

Deepika books a taxi with Irrfan company but as usual driver don't want to risk their life for such a long journey. Delhi to Kolkata around 1500kms more than 40 hours. They cant bear Deepika for more than 40 minutes drive from home to office and this time its 40 hours. Drivers switches off his mobile on reporting time making Deepika furious and irritating again early morning 4 am. Poor Irrfan has to take all this time from Deepika Madam.

Finally with no choice left, Irrfan decides to drive himself car for this journey. Hence journey from Delhi to Kolkata begins with lots of luggage being loaded on car. Irrfan is surprised with so many of bulky luggage and jokes "If you had informed me about so many bulky luggage, I would have brought mini-bus" Last but not the least; the commode chair is also coming with luggage This chair is been shown in posters too (Big B standing on chair and Irrfan is holding a car with a chair on top) but never noticed it is commode chair. MOTION SE HI EMOTION.

God only has to help; whole movie is about this SHIT HAPPENING. Journey was quite nagging, irritating, stubborn and real frustrating as every single conversation ends with motion, constipation, what to do for having smooth and clear motion. Tulsi, Pudina water, try indian style restroom and all such things been discussed.

I can understand the situation of Irrfan being an driver for such a irritating and nagging Big B; he do lose patience some times but some how calms down and reach Kolkata finally safely. Big B treasures his childhood days and lost in old memories. At last such day; he cycles whole of kolkata alone to enjoy, have jalebi and brings kachori samosa dishes at home.

Deepika fights with Big B; as she was worried for Big B cycling so much and went out without any information. All were tensed for him. Big B was having his relax time inside restroom passing his motion. When Deepika is tired of fighting, and Big B finishes his motion; he comes out to say "Today was the best motion passed and his soul too leave this way peacefully in a relax manner" This was said only to find next day morning, Big B died peacefully as if having smooth and relax motion was only goal of his life. MOTION SE HI SO MUCH EMOTION.

Movies does not end here. Shit happens when on the death ceremony, family doctor says Deepika that his father (Big B) do not like her partner because he was sure that her partner too was having constipation and motion problem and Deepika goes directly to him to confirm the same. Her partner agrees and confirms the problem. MOTION SE HI EMOTION..

I would say movie is not that boring except introduction title music. Amitabh and Deepika is brilliant and natural power performer. You might enjoy the fight between Amitabh and Deepika or Irrfan over a piece of SHIT. Movie takes you on ride with Amitabh, Deepika and Irrfan. Story is beautifully shown though it's all about constipation. Except taking care of father and deepika getting worried for his health; nothing more is shown. Movie is amusing but I never expected movie to revolve around motion, potty, shit, constipation and such shitty things; but director has to prove MOTION SE HI EMOTION. Anyone want to watch this movie, they can but with a warning of constipation and motion. My rating for this movie would be *** STARS.
