Awara Paagal Deewana (2002)
Awara Pagal Deewana: A treat for Akshay Kumar's Fans.
Released in 2002 and one of the highest grossing Indian film of that year. APD is a good action- comedy but only for Akshay's fans.Some people said this movie was a straight copy of Bruce Willis's "The Whole Nine Yards". But that was partially true because the original movie had many vulgar scenes and this flick was a clean comedy.I have seen this film in 2005 on TV since then I've watched it many time.Akshay,Suniel and Paresh was awesome. Songs were the weakest part of this film.Johnny Lever and Aftab both were likable.Action scenes were copied but slick and cool.All in all APD is an entertainment package that comes with lots of thrills.My rating ***1/2 out of 5.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
OMG!The worst superhero film I'd ever seen.---by Maharishi Verma
There is only one word to describe this flick,which is 'Trash'.The poorly written screenplay,the acting,and boring action sequences everything is just rubbish.After the forgettable 'Man of Steel' Zack Snyder,Once again, succeeded in his mission of boring the viewers. As I mentioned above the script is too weak to hold the viewer's interest as the previous installments this one takes more time in establishing the characters.Henry Cavill disappoints.Ben Affleck does his job well.Other actors does what they got.Action scenes are heavily stuffed. Like MofS this one is highly depends on VFX rather than script.When I saw the trailer I was very excited but after watching this, I need to go to a doctor.My rating---*/5.
Man of Steel (2013)
Man of Steel-- Confusing screenplay,Poor casting ---by Maharishi Verma
I must say that Superman Returns (2006) was a far better film than this.Henry Cavill is the most boring Superman, yet with zero facial expressions.The movie wastes much of its time in establishing the characters.It examines the viewer's patience as Superman takes lot of time to come on screen.Cavill looks tired on screen, Amy Adam looks aged,Like she has been mistakenly cast.Zack Snyder's direction is functional,One would expect more from him after Watchmen(2009) and 300 (2007).Sorry Mr.Snyder but this time not justified.The problem of the film lies in its screenplay,which is confusing.Rather than entertaining,It tries to spoon-feed every detail about the story.All in all Man of Steel is not what you are expecting.My RATING--*1/2 out of 5
Superman Returns (2006)
SUPERMAN RETURNS =Crap!-------By Maharishi Verma
First,I want to tell you that Brandon Routh is the only saving grace of this film.He's the best Superman till yet, because he does not tries to copy Christopher Reeve.The original Superman: the movie ,was not so good, in my opinion.This film lacks the momentum and before the second-half it loosens its pace.The climax is a total let down and for action movie goers there is nothing except for a scene ,where Superman was saving the city from natural disasters. However, Brandon and Kevin were brilliantly cast,but the script is filled with loopholes.Kids will love this film.But for Superman fans it's not what they expect. **/5.One star for Mr.Routh.
Jaan-E-Mann: Let's Fall in Love... Again (2006)
A modern classic Rom-Com----- by Maharishi Verma
Great ! This is a word to define this film.Everything in this film is awesome.Its been a long time since I watched this flick.Performances,of its lead cast,are solid.Songs were very appealing ,when being watched visually.The locations,camera work was up to the mark.(Read the plot on title page)Salman Khan's performance was very good, he handled emotional scenes very well.Akshay Kumar was show stealer.he had done his job very well.ditto for Priti Zinta.The real reason to like this movie was that it was not over-melodramatic, like other Bollywood romantic films.Jaan-e -Mann is not for masses,some of them cannot not relate with this film because of its theme and narrative. It's a movie made for class audience. That's why this movie was a flopped, but got critical acclaim.So,buy a DVD and feel the love.
Housefull 3 (2016)
HOUSEFULL 3 = Entertainment!
The much awaited H3 has released.This film is more intelligent than the previous installments because this one has lots of slapstick humor ,instead of confusion of identities or double roles, the dialogues are cleverly written and are funny.On the hand the direction is functional or bad.But,the writing and performances by its lead cast are the saving graces of this film.The movie makes you laugh after every 10-5 minutes.This is a family film ,there is no double- meaning that's why kids also love this movie.I don't need to talk about the plot ,if you want to know,you can read it from the top.Performance wise Akshay,Abhishek & Riteish are fantastic.Action scenes are funny especially the climax which is hilarious.All in all H3 is worth your money. My rating--***/5.
Chor Machaaye Shor (2002)
Chor Machaye Shor is Fulltoo-Timepass comedy-- Maharishi Verma
The year 2002 was very bad for the David Dhawan because he gave back to back flop that year--Yeh Hai JALWA ,Hum Kisise Kum Nahin,and Chor Machaye Shor.But I must say that the CMS is the better film than two.That time some critics called it a copy of Blue Streak , but I want to tell them that only the basic theme of the film is same and nothing.And I want to inform all IMDb users that the Blue Streak was not so funny.So, don't compare this flick with that film,the Hollywood comedies are different from Bollywood.In every Hollywood comedy flick you will find a kind of vulgarity, even in a family comedy.Now, come to the point before his arrest Shyam a thief manages to hide stolen diamond in a construction site.After 2 years the site is now a Police Headquarter so, Shyam becomes a police officer to regain his diamond. That's the only copied element from the Blue Streak.Performances wise Bobby Deal does very well as a thief ditto for Paresh Rawal and Om Puri.Heroins doesn't have much to do.Songs are enjoyable.Shekhar Suman has his moments.Bobby deal and Om Puri's chemistry is good.Rajat Bedi and Aashish Vidyarthi is likable,same for Rajpal Yadav.Don't try to find any logic you will be disappointed.To be entertained, give it a watch.
Main, Meri Patni... Aur Woh! (2005)
Safe for everyone to watch.---Maharishi Verma
Wow! This is called a movie.Director Chan Dan Arora's Main Meri Patni Aur Woh (Me,My wife,and Him)has all qualities of a good cinema,because handles the simple story very well ,but it's the narrative style that works.The simplicity of his film is another plus point.There is no action or visual effects, which are not enough to save a poor film,but the performances of lead actors will surely wins you over.This is the story of Mithilesh Shukla a short but good-hearted person,Who is married with Veena a tall educated woman but the problem starts when she is getting so much attention than his husband,which is not liked by Mithilesh.The story is simple but the way of the narration is different. Rajpal Yadav is likable as Mithilesh Shukla, Rituparna Sengupta's performance is above average.Kay Kay Menon does his job well.The movie is set in Lucknow, U.P( Which is my home city).And for my surprise the songs are better than I expected,doob jaana and chand varga are hummable tracks.This is one my favorite films and i recommend it to you believe me it will not let you down. Ratings--9/10 Read my other reviews.
Special Chabbis (2013)
Special treat for cinema lovers.--Maharishi Verma
Neeraj Pandey comes in the category of most trust-able and creative directors of Bollywood. After " A Wednesday", he successfully manages to involve viewers in a taut heist thriller.Set in 1987 this film is based on the robbery performed by a group of intelligent con artists,based on true events the movie's art direction is very good it gives you the feel of old Delhi. Akshay Kumar portrays his character brilliantly.His looks his style ,there is not a single shot where you feel that he is overacting.Anupam Khmer is good enough to support, Manoj Bajpai's acting is also very good ,the tension on his face looks very real.Jimmy Shergil is a surprise package,he is fabulous.But there is a minor mistake in its climax,which could've been better.Overall, it's a must watch heist film since Aankhen(2002) and Kaante(2002).
Singh Is Kinng (2008)
Singh is Kinng- packed with lots of Masala-- Maharishi Verma
SK is has all ingredients which are necessary to hold the interest of the viewers. Some funny one liners, good music and a little amount of romance ,if you have all of these then you will sure that you have a successful potboiler in your hands. Singh is Kinng is not a great film but it's a movie which you can enjoy with your family and friends and believe me it does not disappoint you. Now, SK is the story of Happy Singh who is good for nothing. So the citizens of his village sent him to Australia to convince Lucky (Don) to return his home as his parents are counting their last days.But, circumstances force him to take the place of Lucky and he become king himself.Performance wise Akshay Kumar has given his best , Javed Jaffry and Yashpal Sharma have supported well. Katrina does what she do best ,looking good. Anees Bazmee's direction is good because he does not let down the viewer's interest.Story is unoriginal but convincing.The music is nice almost all songs are good.So, all in all SK is a light-hearted comedy film which can be enjoyed by every kind of viewers because as Akshay Kumar said in this film-- Main toh sach bolta hoon accha apne aap lag jaata hai.
Airlift (2016)
Proud to be an Indian--- by Maharishi Verma
Now, I'm not going to tell you about the mistakes of this movie I'm going to tell you that what I liked in this movie.There is no need to discuss the plot because that is well-known.first thing which I like in this film is performances of actors , every actors in lead or supporting role have tried their best.Akshay Kumar has delivered a soul-full performance. He goes into the depth of his character and what we get is the best performance of Akshay's career.Nimrat also does her best .The other supporting cast including Purab Kohli does justice to their roles.Raja Menon ,the director, has successfully evolved the human drama in this war- thriller.But there is another plus point which is the songs which are brilliantly written.The cinematography is awesome and same for the VFXs.This is a movie which will be remembered as a classic, for its effort ,especially for AKSHAY KUMAR.
1920 London (2016)
Watch this, only for Sharman --- By,Maharishi Verma
Shivangi and Veer are happily living in London. But after receiving a parcel from India, Veer is possessed by a witch. So,Shivangi returns to India to seek help from Jai sing an exorcist. The story has nothing new to offer but the twist before the second half is interesting which do not last for long.Songs are good .Performance wise Sharman Joshi is impressive. But, the problem with this film is that the screenplay had been poorly written.And there are no scary scenes in this flick which can make you scream.However, the climax is the only nice part of this film which do not let you down. Though the VFX are good but not scary,background score could've been better.There is also a good thing about this film that it does not bore.Honestly, I'm saying that this is the only film in the 1920 series which I like.Vikram sir, if you had worked on script a little more it could've been a good horror film. "Wait for another film in series", is my advice to the horror fans.
Rocky Handsome (2016)
Energetic John, Soulless emotions.-- by Maharishi Verma
When I saw the trailer of this film, I was shocked .wow!! Can Indian filmmakers make this kind of action films? The answer is yes! I've read some critics said that the movie does not able to match to the original Korean film. So, I want to tell them that the original movie was not a great film and RH has all ingredients to make a successful action flick.Now, let's talk about performances-- John plays his character very well, his body language , dialogue delivery everything is up to the mark.Other actors provides nice support. The movie has some minor mistakes. such as--screenplay is little-bit confusing, dialogues are not so effective.But action lovers don't care about all of these,they want action ,and the movie provides some great action scenes. Overall, the movie does not disappoint .Oh my goodness! I'm going to watch it again.
Halloween (2007)
All violence , No horror-- by Maharishi Verma
Well, well ...it's a remake of John Carpenter's classic , but the new film does not live up to expectations.Now, I tell you why --- The basic story is same-- A ten year Michael killed his family excepting his mother and little baby sister. After committed in a mental asylum for 17 years he escapes to reunite with his family but in his own way. Mr.Zombie did not tried much to show some creativeness. He had just put some violence and some vulgarity and thought that it can make this film more watchable, but sorry sir, you are wrong.The direction is functional nothing to shout about.Tyler Mane has been succeeded in delivering a nice performance. His presence is menacing.But honestly I have to say that the movie does not bore.The editing could've been crisp.Horror fans will disappoint. All in all it's an average horror flick which is not horrific.
Kick-Ass 2 (2013)
Disappointing sequel--- Kick- Ass2 -- reviewed by Maharishi Verma
Plot-- Kick ass joins a group of amateur superheros( jokers actually) lead by Colonel Stars and Stripes ,where as Mindy trying to become a normal college girl , but circumstances force them to become vigilantes, once again. Performances--- The lead cast tries to hard to do justice with their roles but script doesn't offer much for them. The real problem with this sequel is the script .The story has more violence and gore than the prequel. In one scene a criminal got killed ,in another the hero's dad got killed. For a second you think you're not watching an action comedy but you're watching a revenge drama. Even villain the Motherf*cker (Red Myst) has not much to do except only shrieking on his goons.The jokes have less humour, actually they are senseless. Jim Carrey's character is meaningless and is overshadowed by kick-ass.The ending is inspired from The Dark Knight (2008) where Mindy is going on her bike so fast. Do not waste your money, in buying a DVD, for this one .But, if you still want to watch it then watch this on Star Movies or on HBO.
Kick-Ass (2010)
Don't dare to miss it-- Kick Ass-- reviewed by Maharishi Verma.
Plot-- Dave an unnoticed teenager decided to become a vigilante by taking inspiration from comic books.But, soon he realizes it's not so easy as he thinks.Meanwhile , here is another super hero(without superpowers) named Big Daddy who is also fighting with criminals with her daughter Mindy. Performances--- The entire lead cast include Aaron Taylor Johnson, Nicolas Cage, Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintez had delivered good performances.Aaron Taylor's witty jokes make viewers laugh.Nicolas Cage and Chloe Moretz had provided a good support.where Christopher Mintez has been perfectly cast as a confused kid. Whatever, the action scenes leaves much to be desire.Editing is so crisp which do not let the viewer's interest down. The cinematography is good as the screen filled with colorful characters. All in all it's an good action comedy so, don't miss it otherwise, I' ll kick your............understand!
Freddy vs. Jason (2003)
Overall entertaining!--- reviewed by Maharishi Verma
Plot-- Freddy resurrects Jason ,when he lost his power ,to spread the terror in teenagers once again.But Jason starts a murder spree, killing Freddy's victims.Freddy decides to fight with him for supremacy. The story has not enough thrills to give goosebumps to viewers but the direction is tight and the director Ronny Yu does not let viewers to think what's happening. The editing is sharp which makes movie fast- pace. Action scenes are good except one in a climax scene where Freddy fights with Jason hand to hand,as they fight you think you are watching an martial art flick. Action directors sometime over does the blood and gore. Ken Kirzinger as Jason is menacing and so is Robert Englund as Freddy hats off to them.Otherwise, the remaining cast has done a fine job, nothing to shout about. Attention! As I told you above, there are no scary scenes to make you scream .Horror movie buffs will be disappointed. But, Freddy vs Jason is an entertaining slasher movie . let me give you an advice- watch it with your girlfriend .She will definitely scream and you.... can take advantage ! Got it!
Angels & Demons (2009)
A gripping thriller.---- by Maharishi Verma

Tech.aspects--- VFX are brilliant and the huge sets are designed so beautifully which enhance the viewer's interest. Verdict--- script has some loopholes but ,who cares when we are having fun.The concept is good.As the story unveils you feel yourself so engaged , because of the tight screenplay. Overall, it's an amazing movie ,packed with great performances by lead cast. WATCH IT, AT ANY COST.
Deewane Huye Paagal (2005)
Karan loves Tanya ,but here is also the gang of mad lovers who can do anything to win Tanya's heart.Here is a don who has his own agenda.
PERFORMANCES: Akshay,Paresh,and Sunil are excellent in their roles.But , Shahid hasn't much to do and Rimi also. In supporting cast there is Johny Lever( not really funny),OmPuri ,but they are not funny.DIRECTION and STORY: After Awara Paagal Deewana(2002) Vikram Bhatt's direction is average this time but he handles the weak story well.Story is not new but have good comic elements. FINAL VERDICT: If you have watched Awara Paagal Deewana ,watch this one also for good entertainment. BEST SCENES:(1) watch out for the first meeting of Sunil and Paresh in film you will guaranteed a laugh.(2) watch where Akshay tells Shahid about Rimi's marriage.
