ROWDY RATHORE MOVIE REVIEW

Rowdy Rathore is entertaining on a whole except in a the first half.Akshay with his regular attitude was amazing to take the credits.Sonakshi too added in the film with her looks & few impressive dialouges.Certainly it was not that all entertainig & smooth from beggining to the end but somehow it does a good job in the later part to entertain u.Rowdy Rathore is the remake of the Telugu film Vikramarkudu.

Shiva (Akshay Kumar), a small-time thief in Mumbai, falls in love with Paro(Sonakshi Sinha), a girl from Patna, who is in Mumbai to attend a marriage. Shiva makes his way into Paro’s heart and she also starts loving him. Shiva tells her the truth about him being a thief and resolves to give up crime forever.

But before that, he decides to swindle one last person for a large sum of money. This leads Shiva to Chinki, a young girl, who thinks that Shiva is her father.Surprised by what is happening, but forced to keep Chinki with her [as a police officer,Inspector Vishal (Yashpal Sharma) keeps his eye on him], Shiva slowly starts loving the innocent child. Although he tries keeping Chinki away from Paro’s eyes, the latter finds out about Chinki. Angry and hurt, Paro leaves for Patna.

Shiva is heartbroken. Soon, unknown goons attack him, taking him to be Vikram Rathore, Chinki’s real father. While many unknown persons help Shiva run to safety with Chinki in his arms, he is soon surrounded by the goons. It is then that Vikram Rathore (Akshay Kumar) makes and appearance and saves the day. But he is grievously injured in the fight.

Now,Insp.Vishal tells the story in a flashback of ASP Vikram Rathore to Shiva that in a small town of Devgarh,Bihar how troubled the don of devgarh.Later,Titla(M.Supreeth Reddy){Younger Brother of Don,Baabji(M.Nasser)} shots a bullet near his head by which Rathore is grieviously injured in a Dusshera day.Suddenly,a Insp.Vishal & his colleague discover that Vikram is still alive & takes him to different places for treatment & even to Mumbai where all the incidences happened.They plotted all this drama to save Chinki(Rathore's daughter) after tracing Shiva in a mall as he was alike to Vikram Rathore.Vikram Rathore dies in the hospital & now Shiva takes the charge as Rathore,Vikram Rathore & moves to Devgarh in order to take revenge from those who killed Vikram Rathore.Sonakshi also comes to know the truth of Shiva & accepts him & chinki happily.

In the second half movie changes to a different view when shiva takes on M.Nasser,the don of devgarh with his dense action supported by his rowdy dialouges.Finally Shiva was able to finish the two.Movie ends here.

STAR PERFORMANCES

Akshay Kumar was something brilliant with his part.His acting receives full marks from me as he was completely entertainig with his funny & serious moves.Sonakshi Sinha was also good in the film.Yashpal Sharma as Inspector Vishal was something very much needed in the film & he delivered  again to make his presence noticeable.Gurdeep Kohli as Inspector Razia Khan & all others  offered a good support.The girl playing role of Chinki was amazing in her part.She really touches the heart with her cute acting.

Prabhudheva,after Wanted was again able able to make all his audience happy with his direction in a Action movie. Sajid-Wajid’ music is super-hit, although, the film could have done without a couple of songs

Watch or Not:Recommended

Verdict:Rowdy Rathore will be  a good choice for this weekend from bollywood to entertain with a extra ordinary action sequels spiced up from South region.Akshay is the heart of the movie who equally entertains u with both of his roles.I Must say Its a Thumbs Up to Rowdy Rathore ignoring few parts of the movie.

IshaqZaade Movie Review

Ishaqzaade starring Arjun Kapoor & Parineeti Chopra  is an entertaining fare which works on the strength of its first half & the performances.Movie ends up with a twist which may not be appreciated by majority of lay viewers.Arjun delivers a good performance but Parineeti was awesome in the movie.She Steals the show for a healthy time once again with her Frank & bold attitude.

Ishaqzaade is a love story of two youngsters belonging to two opposing political families.

In a small town in UP,Almora where muscle powers reigns & politics is conducted through the muzzle of a gun, Parma (Arjun Kapoor) is one of the grandsons of Surya Chauhan, a political leader who is contesting for the post of the MLA.Aaftab Qureshi, is the current MLA of the area. Chauhan & Qureshi are sworn enemies, whose fight for supremacy often leads to gun battles in broad daylight. Parma, who is one of the ringleaders of the Chauhan family, wants to rise up the family ladder.

On the other hand, Zoya (Parineeti Chopra), Qureshi‘s gusty daughter, is no less than her brothers in her hate for the Chauhans.

While canvassing for votes in their college,Parma & Zoya have a tiff & Zoya slaps Parma in front of everyone. As he has orders from the family patriarch to not indulge in violence, Parma stops short of shooting Zoya.

Soon, he falls for her & woos her till she reciprocates his love. The two meet secretly & even get married in the presence of two of Parma’s friends. Immediately afterwards, Parma has sex with Zoya. Then, to her surprise, he abandons her, claiming revenge for the slap.

Parma even uses photos of Zoya getting married in the Hindu way – without showing his own face – to rubbish her family’s name. As a result, Zoya’s dad loses the election. Parma becomes his grandfather’s blue eyed boy.

Zoya’s father decides to snap all ties with her. Zoya, meanwhile, escapes from her home with the intention to put a bullet in Parma’s head.Parma's Mother caughts her & holds her & clarifies the matter in front of Parma.Her mother tries to control Zoya's emotion & makes her realize the fact that she will be shot if her father & Chauhan's are able to chase her.Parma's Mother loses her life protecting Zoya from Surya Chauhan's bullet & While on her last breath she asks Parma for a Promise that he will accept Zoya as her wife & will protect her throughout & tell Zoya to run away.Zoya escapes from the crime scene.Chauhan's goon & Parma chases her but now Parma wants to protect her & Chauhan's goon wants to kill her.Parma catches her & takes her  to Chand(Gauhar Khan),the brothel,was the safe place for them to hide.There,Parma apologizes for his blunder & falls in love with Zoya.Zoya,first ignores him but later they both fall in Love.Now this time they get married actually in the brothel only.

The day of Eid,Zoya decides to visit her home along with Parma.Both leaves the brothel for her place where Zoya's father refuses to accept her marriage & opens fire on them.They escapes from there.They moves to Bus Stand to leave Almora forever.Parma goes to buy some stuff for Zoya & when he comes back,Zoya was not there as she was caught by the goons.Parma fights the goons & grabs Zoya to her college.After few minutes both the leaders along with their goons reaches the college & decides to kill them jointly.After a long encounter,Zoya finds that they had left with only 3 bullets.Zoya tells Parma its better to kill each other but not to die with those bastards bullets.Zoya & Parma shoots each other.This the ultimate twist in the movie & movie ends up here.

Star Performances

Arjun Kapoor makes a fine debut as Parma.He emotes well,acts with a swagger & dances delightfully. He has a very good screen presence as well. Parineeti Chopra,whom we loved in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, shines again in a complex & intense role.She looks very good & acts like a song.She made the audeince to enjoy the movie till the end.Full marks to Parinneti Chopra.She wasthe appropriate choice made to the role of Zoya as she delivered with attitude required for the role.Arjun & Parineeti’s on-screen chemistry & excellent performances are the highlights of the film. Gauhar Khan,who plays courtesan Chand, does very well. All the supporting cast members provide very good support.

Habib Faisal’s direction is first-rate.The writer-director treads a very different territory after Do Dooni Chaar but manages to make the narrative compelling.Only if he had paid more attention to making the second half crisper, the film would have proved to be a better package.

Watch or Not: Recommended.
Verdict: Its a good movie to watch for this weekend.The performance delivered by Arjun & Parineeti is more than enough to make u entertain throughout.Feel the Love & enjoy the action with a twisting climax.Its a Thumb Up for Ishaqzaade.

Jannat 2 Movie Review

Jannat 2 is a movie of a illegal gun dealer Sonu Dilli(Emraan Hashmi) who fells in love with Dr.Jhanvi Tomar(Esha Gupta) & turns to a informer of Police.Jannat 2 has nothing in common but the sequel shares a common climax.Esha Gupta,who had  been compared with Angelina Jolie,as a debutant fails to make her presence noticeable by the audience.Movie is not that special but may get a successful opening because of its promotion.If we compare Jannat 2 with Jannat,majority of votes will be for Jannat.Its a low budget movie & will be unable to win Hearts on the whole.Rare may enjoy the movie but in parts.

Sonu Dilli (Emraan Hashmi) is a street-smart, small time arms dealer along with his old time friend Balli(Zeeshan Ayyub) in Delhi who has the gift of gab. When he is interrogated by a tough cop, ACP Pratap Raghuvanshi (Randeep Hooda) first he confuses him by introducing himself as a cut piece dealer but then ACP uses his trick & cuts his hand with knife & endangers his life,now Sonu turns informer for the latter.


Sonu visits a Doctor for dressing but Sonu falls in love with his first sight with a doctor, Jhanvi Tomar (Esha Gupta) he meets her many a times coincidently whenever police was chasing him & tells her the same but finally he manages to woo her,now he wants to leave the life of crime & settle down.Here,the question raises how a Doctor fells in a love with a street-smart hustler?Later,She accepts her wedding proposal & gets married.


Although helping ACP Pratap puts Sonu in jail for a little time, he continues to purvey the ACP with information about illegal arms racket as he has no other choice. ACP Pratap, who is hell bent upon finding who the leader of the arms racket is, persuades Sonu to continue being his informer by promising him protection and a good life afterwards.Sonu,unknown to his wife, joins a bigger gang of arms traders along with Balli.


Sonu’s world is shaken to the core when he realises, after his marriage to Jhanvi, that Jhanvi’s estranged father,Mangal Singh Tomar (Manish Choudhary), is the Kingpin of the arms business in Delhi.However,Sonu manages to convince Mangal that he is a corrupt and shrewd person who will be of use to his gang. Mangal embraces Sonu as his next in command.


ACP Pratap, who knows this, blackmails Sonu to give him information on upcoming arms deals, so that he can catch Mangal Singh red handed.ACP destroys a large consignment of weapons of Mangal Singh.Then Mangal decides to track out the traitor.While tracking,Balli sacrifices his life as a traitor in order to save his best friend Sonu.Sonu was now in deep grief after the incident,caught between the devil and the deep sea, starts playing a double game. He neither gives information to the ACP, nor tells Mangal the truth about him being a police informer. Secretly he plans to run away with Jhanvi, so that he can live a peaceful life with her.But Jhanvi comes to know about Sonu Dilli's truth.He explains her that he is working for ACP Pratap Raghuvanshi,but she refuses to belive him.He promises her that he will be back with ACP & reaches to ACP,where ACP kicks him tagging him as a coward.Sonu helps him for a last time with all the information of a big deal.Sonu comes to Mangal' Haunt where a big deal of arms was about to begin.Mangal receives a call from his Police informer(who was working in ACP's team) & comes to know about Sonu Dilli's character.He fires on Sonu but at the same time ACP with his team reaches there to save Sonu & the deal.In this action,Sonu was hit by bullets,ACP shifts him to a hospital where doctor tells him how serious sonu is,Sonu while taking his last breath asks ACP that he must not tell his truth to Jhanvi otherwise she will not be able to live her rest of life.ACP keeps his promise & defines Sonu Dilli as a arm dealer to Jhanvi & insist her to start a new life.Movie ends here.

Star Performances

Emraan Hashmi is first-rate as the glib and deceitful but endearing criminal.He has proved once again that he can make a negative character likeable.Randeep Hooda carries himself very well and delivers an excellent performance. Esha Gupta,was more or less alike to Lara Dutta was really disappointing as debutant,if we compare with other Debutant actress of recent times like Paoli Dam(Hate Story),Yaami Gautam(Vicky Donor).Her dialouge delivery,expression were not able to withstand.I will give her minus marks for her poor performance.Might she get another couple of movies in future but this time she is failed to make her presence noticeable.She was so far from being Sonal Chauhan as Zoya in Jannat.Manish Choudhary,as Mangal Singh Tomar,was good to watch in villainous role this time as compared to Blood Money.Zeeshan Ayyub,as Sonu’s friend Balli,leaves a mark again.He was a bit of eye catching.Sumeet Nijhawan,as the goon Sarfaraz,fills the bill. Brijendra Kala,as Daddha-ACP Pratap’s assistant,was marvelous.Arif Zakaria,Imran Zahid & others offered a good support.


Kunal Deshmukh was okay with his direction but has certainly failed to deliver a complete entertaining package.Movie is boring in in its middle.


Watch or Not: Not Recommended,as it is not upto the expectation.
Verdict: At last i would like to add that Jannat 2 is not that entertaining.Movie does not delivers upto the expectation of the audience.Will not be appreciated.Its a Thumb Down to Jannat 2,as its disappoints a lot.

AVENGERS MOVIES REVIEW


After a long time,a huge crowd has been seen in the movie hall all together to enjoy a Action Packed Hollywood Film with a many famous Superheroes.Big Opening is expected even in small cities.Movie delivers according to its perception made by the viewers.Hulk & Ironman are the Focal Point in this film.It is paced up with a good Visuals & Performance by the stars.Don't Miss it.


 The Avengers brings together some of the most popular Marvel heroes together on screen to save the earth.


While the secret military intelligence agency SHIELD is experimenting with the powerful cosmic cube, the Tessarect, it becomes unstable. While SHIELD chief Nick Fury (Samuel Jackson) and agent Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) are trying to figure out the reasons behind the Tessarect’s unusual behaviour, the cube opens a portal out of which Lochi (Tom Hiddleston) appears.

Before destroying the entire headquarters, Lochi escapes with the Tessarect and even enslaves Hawkeye and some scientists so that he can create a portal to usher his soldiers on Earth. With no other way in sight, Nick decides to get his Avengers plan into action by getting together some of the best superheroes on Earth.

Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) returns from her Russian mission and goes to Kolkata to persuade Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) as he is the best scientist who can help them find the Tessarect on the basis of its gamma radiation. Though Banner has his apprehensions to join because of his ability/tendency to turn into the juggernaut monster The Hulk, he agrees. Fury also convinces Captain America (Chris Evans) to join the squad even though he (Captain America) feels disarmingly outdated as he was recently revived from the frozen state that he was in.

Soon, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) also joins the team after a convincing approach of Agnet Coulson(Clark Gregg).With the help of Banner and the rest of the team, they find the whereabouts of Lochi. While Lochi is busy trying to subjugate people, the team overpower him in a surprisingly easy attack. While transporting Lochi for interrogation, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) storms in and attacks his half-brother Lochi to find out why he stole the Tessarect. This results in a thunderous fight between Iron Man and Thor. After realizing that they are all fighting to protect the Earth, they imprison Lochi and discuss means to finding out his true intentions. While the Avengers are busy squabbling amongst themselves, Hawkeye (under Lochi’s control) and his team attack SHIELD and rescue Lochi.Agent Coulsom(Clark Gregg) dies in a small clash with Lochi,he tells Fury while taking his last breath that he thinks of his death Avengers will come together in a team.Now,Avengers Team Up together to Fight Lochi in order to save Earth.

Here,Lochi with the help of Scientist begins his mission & call his army from space.Lochi tries to enslave Ironman but fails to do so.Ironman warns him that this fight may outweigh for him as Avengers is comprised of HULK.Great Action begins between Avengers & Lochi's henchman.After a heart throbbing entertaining action,Avengers defeat Lochi & his intentions.In this action,Hulk was awesome to enjoy.

Star Performances

Since most of the heroes here have their own superhero films, you couldn’t expect anything less from the cast. Robert Downey Jr. is fabulous as the spoilt billionaire superhero Iron Man. Chris Evans is good as Captain America & he leads Avengers. Mark Ruffalo does very well as he takes the mantle of Bruce Banner/The Hulk. Chris Hemsworth does well as the thunder God Thor. Scarlett Johansson & Jeremy Renner are alright as Black Widow and Hawkeye respectively. Tom Hiddleston is very good as the menacing, and slightly confused, Lochi. Clark Gregg is sweet as Agent Phil Coulson. Cobie Smulders doesn’t have much to do as Agent Maria Hill. Once again,Samuel Jackson impresses the audience as Nick Fury,Director of SHIELD.

Joss Whedon does a good job but falls short in the first half. For giving the heroes good lines, almost equal screen space and some smacking action sequences, Whedon has used them to their fullest.

Zak Penn and Joss Whedon’s story isn’t new. This sort of potboiler is probably similar to many other superhero films.

Watch or Not: Must Watch film for Action Lovers.

Verdict: On a whole,Avengers is a good package of entertainment this weekend.Comprised of many famous superheroes makes the movie full of joyment.Highest marks to movie.Last but not the least,Its a Thumbs Up to Avengers.

TEZZ

TEZZ

Released: 27-04-2012
Rating: 2.15*
Genre: Action-Thriller
Director: Priyadarshan
Producer: Ratan Jain,Bharat & Vipul Amrutlal Shah




Star Cast:
Ajay Devgn(Akash Rana),Kangna Ranaut(Nikita Rana),Anil Kapoor(Arjun Khanna),Boman Irani(Sanjay Raina),Zayed Khan(Aadil Khan),Sameera Reddy(Megha),Mohanlal(Shivan),Philp Martin Brown(Inspector Allan),Dominic Power(Jo-Jo),Avika Gor,Mallika Sherawat


TEZZ MOVIE REVIEW

Movie starts with uncoordinated events,confusing audience for a while.Print of the movie is not so good.Definitely its a copy of many Hollywood Movies about Train Bombing surely with a Bollywood touch.Visual effects affects the glory of the movie confirming it as a typical Bollywood Processed film.I must say it was a staggering attempt by bollywood, to produce a film like hollywood.The item number was so boring because it commences suddenly,where it has nothing to do with anything,half heartedly choreographed & with boring Lyrics.

Tezz is about an illegal immigrant, Aakash Rana(Ajay Devgn),who is deported back to India from the UK because he is working there without a work permit. Aakash’s wife,Nikita(Kangna Ranaut) is left back alone in the UK.

Four years later, Aakash returns to London and teams up with Aadil Khan (Zayed Khan) and Megha (Sameera Reddy). He plants a bomb on a London-Glasgow passenger train and asks for 10 million Euros as ransom. Among the 500-odd passengers on the ill-fated train is the young daughter(Avika Gor) of the railway traffic controller Sanjay Raina.The bomb, Aakash tells the railway traffic controller, will be triggered if the speed of the train drops below 60 miles per hour. While the railway authorities work hard to ensure the safety of the train and its passengers, Arjun Khanna (Anil Kapoor), a retired London counter-terrorism officer, is deputed on the case. He starts negotiating with Aakash through the railway traffic controller and slowly, but surely, picks up vital leads in the case.

Shivan Menon(Mohanlal),a police officer taking a criminal,an arm dealer JoJo(from whom Akash & Aadil bought all explosives) to glasgow from the same train tries to help frightened passenger.In a failed attempt at transferring the ransom money,Megha(Sameera Reddy) is killed in a bike accident while being chased by the police.JoJo identifies Aadil & informs Shivan about the same.After that,in a small chase Aadil was a shot a bullet by the police in his leg but he was successful Dodgeing the Police.Akash calls a doctor fo his treatment & he himself takes the responsibility to complete on his mission.He was successful in stealing money inspite of a having a tight security.Arjun Chases him but after a Scramble,Akash is all away with his ransom money.He drops an envelope for Sanjay at a restaurant,Delhi Darbar instructing about diffusing the bomb.He then visit Megha's brother admitted in a hospital for an eye operation where he founds Arjun investigating him & Akash tries to escape but was Secuirty seals all exit route troubling Aakash,but he makes his way by hiding himself in Arjun's Car.Arjun gathers all information about Akash & move towards airport.Here,Akash founds her long lost wife Nikita & his Son & ask her to meet him at railway station so that they can leave for Paris.Arjun reaches Nikita & asks her to identify Akash at the railway station.At the railway station,Akash comes to know that the restaurant was set on fire & Sanjay appeals Akash to tell him how to diffuse the bomb on a TV announcement,Akash calls Sanjay & tells him that he planted the bombs but those were not activated so there is no danger for anyone.When Nikita comes to know about the same,she denies to identify Aakash at station.Suddenly,their sons calls Papa pointing Akash,now Arjun makes a successful chase this time & catches him.Akash tells about his painful story to Arjun,But Co-police arrives there & Shoots Arjun with a number of Bullets as he was Pointing a gun towards Arjun.

Star Performances

Ajay Devgn delivers a fine performance as Aakash. He is suitable as restrained. Anil Kapoor, as Arjun Khanna, is good.The performances of both these actors make the film palatable to a large extent. Kangna Ranaut, as Nikita, gets limited scope but i will say that she fails again in her brief role.Zayed Khan as Aadil,was okay but it seems that he was again in a rush like in his previous movies.Sameera Reddy,as Megha really does an appreciable job,satisfying audience on her ground.Boman Irani,as Sanjay(the railway traffic controller),is very good & completely justifying his role with his natural acting.Mohanlal, as police officer Shivan,does add much value.

Priyadarshan lacks this time to make a motive oriented Action Movie.He failed to win hearts of Audience.Storyteller completely fails to answer the question-Why does Aakash plan on asking for ransom in the first place when all he wanted was to get away with his family? His motivation / greed for the ill-gotten ransom money.

Watch or Not: Not Recommended but u can watch the film if u want to pass ur time watching Bollywood stars      performing in Hollywood Style movie.

Verdict: Its definitley not going to entertain u,though it is packed with good action.Audience will b happy to miss this film.I suggest for Avengers,if u want to enjoy all about Action.Its going to be a flop or an average movie at the box office.Tezz works in parts only.Its a Thumbs Down to this film.

VICKY DONOR

VICKY DONOR

 Released: 20-04-2012
 Rating: 3.5*
 Genre: Comedy,Drama
 Producer: Sunil Lulla,John Abraham,Ronni Lahiri
 Director: Shoojit Sircar











Star Cast:
 Ayushman Khurana(Vicky Arora), Yaami Gautam(Ashima Roy),Annu Kapoor(Dr.Baldev  Chadda),Dolly Ahluwalia(Dolly,Vicky's Mother),Kamlesh Gill(Vicky's Grandmother)


VICKY DONOR REVIEW

Vicky Donor is about a young, jobless man who becomes a regular sperm donor at the insistence of an infertility doctor. He makes a lot of money but decides to stop donating sperm when he falls in love and marries a girl. 

Dr Baldev Chaddha (Annu Kapoor), a well qualified fertility expert, runs a fertility clinic and a sperm bank in Dariyaganj, New Delhi, that guarantees a high quality and specialized sperm for the purpose. Unfortunately he has more failed cases to his credit than successes. A healthy, high performing donor is the need of the hour. Vicky Arora (Ayushman Khurana), a young, good-looking, Punjabi boy from Lajpat Nagar, is the only son to Dolly, a widow, who runs a small beauty parlor from home.

As luck would have it, a small brawl in the colony brings Dr Chaddha and Vicky, face to face, where Chaddha, concludes that Vicky could be THAT donor he has been looking for. From here on, Chaddha’s days and nights are spent in convincing Vicky to become a donor till he finally gives inVicky, on the other hand agrees to keep donating sperm for money, even though he is scared of his widowed mother, Dolly (Dolly Ahluwalia), and the society finding out about his clandestine occupation. However, the loads of money he makes by being a prolific sperm donor gives him the opportunity to not find a job, shop as much as he wants, party endlessly and buy gifts for his mother and grandmother (Kamlesh Gill). He is happy.Chaddha is delighted to find out that Vicky’s sperm is very much fertile, just as he had predicted.

Vicky finds his love interest in Ashima Roy (Yami Gautam)-a divorcee who is afraid to retail her heart, again and a pretty Bengali girl, who works in a Bank. In spite of Ashima being a divorcee, and both their parents being against the inter-community marriage, they finally get married and live happily. Even their families come closer.

However, when Ashima finds out that she will never be able to conceive a child, she is devastated. She also discovers that Vicky was a sperm donor and leaves him to go to her father’s place in Kolkata as he had not told her the truth before their marriage. There is more trouble in store for Vicky as he is arrested for having taken black money (as fees from Dr. Chaddha). His mother and grandmother also find out about his sperm donation and are ashamed of it.Chadda takes the bail for Vicky & come to know about Vicky's Personal Life tragic.He decide to help him out.

 With a brief emotional roller coaster ride,Dr.Baldev Chadda announces silver jubilee of his clinic & invites Vicky,Ashima & all the Couples along with their babies to whom Vicky donated his Sperms.Ashima realises herself as wrong & ready to accept a child of Vicky Donor.Now Movie ends with a Happy Ending.Vicky Donor is a light-hearted take on the subject of sperm donation.

Screenplay is very entertaining in the first half and makes for a fun watch. The eccentricities of the unusual Delhi migrant family, the Aroras, make for good entertainment. The scenes where Vicky bumbles around in life, where Dr. Chaddha chases him incessantly, where his mother and grandmother sit down for their end-of-day drinks, are all very funny. Vicky’s wooing of Ashima is cute, as are the scenes where the two families interact before and during the marriage.

What does not work, to a certain extent, is the latter part of the second half, which starts to play out like a regular love drama. Ashima’s estrangement, Vicky’s despair and the ‘happy ending’ climax are just not predictable but also boring to a certain extent.The orthodox among the audiences will also enjoy the film to an extent, but they might not like the basic plot, which deals with a social taboo.

Star Performances

Ayushmaan Khurrana makes a awesome entertainig debut. He is easy on the eyes, endearing and extremely natural.His comic timing and accent are perfect for the role.He made audience to be seated & enjoy the movie till last,definitely Eye Catching.Annu Kapoor, as Dr. Baldev Chaddha, impresses a lot & proved his responsibility of a experienced veteran.Dolly Ahluwalia (as Dolly) is a delight to watch. Her interactions with Kamlesh Gill (Vicky’s grandmother) are one of the highlights of the film.Coming to Yaami Gautam,She was adorable with her role as Ashima,brilliant start for this new comer as compared to others.She was Pretty & appealing,performed her part to her best.Yaami,best choice by the Director-Producer.Full marks to both the New-comers.

Director Shoojit Sircar makes a narrative which is fresh and entertaining. He must be praised for his sensitive and sensible handling of the subject of sperm donation. However, if he could have made the latter half of the drama less predictable and more impactful, the film might have turned out much better.Songs are Good & popular.Paani Da,nice romantic song for ears.Rest all good.

Watch or Not: Watch it.A good choice for Youngsters to entertain themselves this weekend.

Verdict: Vicky Donor is not that much entertaining as expected but will definitely entertain the audience.Best performance given by Ayushman Khurana & Yaami Gautam.Though,Ending,a little more could be good but Its a Thumbs Up to Vicky Donor & it will certainly do a good Bussiness in the box office.

 The screenplay also creates ample scope for explicit scenes (many of which have remained uncensored, in spite of a few obvious cuts).Also, the pace of the drama slackens at intervals, leaving the audience bored. Several obvious questions pop up in the viewer’s mind: why does Kavvya, who is shown to be a competent journalist, get into bed with her nemesis so easily just after she has exposed him? Why does she turn to the world’s oldest profession when she could have easily used her investigating skills to find out secrets about Siddharth’s company and thus, seek her revenge? These and several others points have been conveniently ignored, maybe, just to bring in the element of sex. However, this makes the drama less believable.

Dialogues, penned by Rohit Malhotra, should have been much more impactful.0

Star Performances

Paoli Dam is good in some scenes & not so good in others,can't b given full marks.Gulshan Devaiah & Nikhil Dwivedi,really disappoints audience with their weired expressions,were not at all able to manage their role,minus marking to both of them. Mohan Kapoor is fine as the corrupt minister.Joy Sengupta does alright as the CEO.Saurabh Dubey does a fine job as Kumar,Good marks to him.

Vivek Agnihotri’s direction leaves a lot to be desired as his narrative works only in the second half. Besides, he is not able to make the drama convincing enough.

Watch or Not:Can be watched* but only for once. *:STRICTLY FOR ADULTS

Verdict:Hate Story is a movie with full of sexual content.Paoli has given more than enough Bold scenes a bad choice for a lead role by a newcomer.Though,her efforts can be appreciated by some critics.It leaves a bad impression to audience but also teaches a lesson.Inspite of all bold scene,its not going to be a hit but will do a good bussiness at box office.Youth will enjoy this erotic thriller.Its a Thumbs Dash to this movie.
