Hindi Cinema Discussion

The opening is huge. Most likely, it will be an average grosser. Its said to be a remake of a Tamil film with the Hollywood'ish comedy touch. Akshay Kumar needs a break, seriously. He was better with action and family entertainer films. His comedies are getting monotonous.

Yeah I'd love to see him back in some action flicks. He has done comedy for too long now.

Has anyone watched Right ya wrong? I must say a pretty good performance from Sunny and Irfan as always was awesome. Definitely worth a watch imo.

Vikram is playing the hero role in the Hindi version and is Raavan in the Tamil one... hope he does well!

There is confusion with the storyline. Who is the hero and who is the villian is a mystery. Some rumors suggest that Raavan is the hero of the film and that the story is told from Raavan's perspective. Rumors also say that Sita goes with Raavan in the end. But some say that Mani might toe the traditional route in fear of protests from the Hindu maniac organizations in India who might protest since they know this is a modern adaptation of the Ramayana which is sacred for the Hindus.

Vikram plays hero in the Tamil one, and Abhishek plays hero in the Hindi one. Vikram plays second lead in the Hindi one, and Malayalam actor Prithviraj plays the same second lead in the Tamil one. Ash plays the same role in both. Govinda's role in Hindi is done by Tamil actor Karthik.

Its a pretty decent film, one time watch for sure. Sunny makes a good comeback after a lull period.

Wait, Govinda is in it?!

 

[SaiSrini]

Wait, Govinda is in it?!

Its a Mani Ratnam film. He made even Mithun look good in 'Guru'.

Are you saying Govinda and Mithun are bad actors?

Are you saying Govinda and Mithun are bad actors?

Exactly my point.

They are a hell lot better actors than people like Abhishek Bachchan.

Add Ash to it as well.

 

[Pranav]

Add Ash to it as well.

One can argue about that, but they are definitely equivalent to her.

 

[SciD]

The plastic face.

Anyone watch Housefull yet? Is it any good or another flop for Akki?

If you want to have some sort of a laugh then go for it. There is no story to it as it is with most of the Hindi movies nowadays. The ending is ridiculous. Some repeat jokes. Still, it may well not be a boring one.

 

[Cricketman]

Govinda is terrible. Might have been good back in the day but he is pure crap now.

 

[SciD]

Acting talent never dies. He has just done 2 bad films after Partner and you label him crap.

Akhay Kumar has given 4-5 crap films on trot.
Hritik has only got 5 hits in 15 films and of 5 , 3 are his home production.
SRK has been dishing out same crap throughout his career. He got to be good at that.
How many hits does AB has to his credit? Can he do anything else apart from serious stuff?

 

[Pranav]

Govinda is terrible. Might have been good back in the day but he is pure crap now.

Lol. You gotta be jokin' there. He's one of the better actors than a lot of dumb heads acting today. His comic timing is by far the best of any actor out there.

I like Govinda better than Mithun. I never used to like Mithun of these days (couldnt bear his earlier films). I liked Mithun in Guru. Apart from his disco style dancing (even that was not anything great), dont know what else he had. Govinda used to do some good comedy films (esp. those No.1 series) but he was also average. Abhishek is INCOMPARABLE TO BOTH (AB is better when you compare AB's current age to how Govinda/Mithun were at AB's age).

Govinda/Mithun are like the current masala actors of South cinema. They have their small group of loyal fans and they had their peak period but they never sustained at the top for long. Now they are trying to comeback for another innings.

 

[Cricketman]

I have never been a fan of AK. But every Govinda film I have watched has been cheesy, boring, unfunny, and crap.
