Tashan Movie Review!!!!

Tashan

Tashan is a movie that you’ll either love or hate (most probably hate), but the movie still is very good VFM. This is because of two major reasons:

1) No multiplexes showing the movie.. I watched it in Shreyas cinema for 60 Rs. Stall (Total kharcha Rs 87…3 Rs bus ticket chiragnagar-shreyas, movie ticket, cold drink- 15 Rs, samosa – 6 Rs, return ticket 3 Rs)

2) There are parts in the movie that everyone will enjoy – Akshay Kumar’s Performance throughout the movie, Anil Kapoor’s Deewar spoof (‘Lots happy you must be today… Lots happy’), songs, locations, etc… So here goes


The Story-

The story revolves around kareena kapoor (pooja), who, unfortunately does not put in a revolve-worthy performance. There’s nothing big to talk about Kareena’s role in the movie, not even the bikini scene …. However, I’d like to add here that Kareena looks quite nice in most of the movie and I’d say yes to her if she proposed to me (on the condition that she cuts back on the skin show)…


She phasaaoes Saif (jimmy Cliff), an English teacher who is hired to teach anil kapoor (Bhaiyyaji) a UP ka don based in Mumbai. Jimmmy pooja ke jaale me phas jaata hai and agrees to steal that mahine ka ‘collection’ from bhaiyyaji. Obviously, saif is left alone to take the blame while she runs away…

Enter Bacchan Pandey (AK) in one of the best entry’s I’ve seen in quite a while.. Bacchan Pandey idolizes bhaiyyaji and is a recovery agent (the kind who motivates you to pay your bills before time, every time, till the end of time).. He along with saif are tasked by bhaiyyaji to get back the money and start wondering where pooja might be.. At that time we see the afore-mentioned bikini scene (where there was nothing big to talk about (in more ways than one)) and a song on the beaches of some far off country where the sea water is blue and the beaches are white….

THEN, jimmy remembers that pooja wants to do visarjan of her papa’s asthiyaan in ganga at Haridwaar (really) and off they go… pooja is caught and beyond this point, the movie is all style and no story.. Lekin what style it is!!!


Rest Of The Story -

Rest of the story includes plot points such as pooja’s seduction of bacchan pandey, bacchan ke bachpan ka pyaar, pooja ke pita ke khoon ka badla, jet ski’s, cycle pe talwar fight, flame throwers, electric shocks and so on…..


Other Stuff –

The fight scenes in the movie except for the last fight are very very cool.. Akshay Kumar has outdone himself in the movie and steals the show both in acting and action… And the ‘Bacchan Pandey’ theme music during the fight scenes ABSOLUTELY ROCKKKKKSSSS!!!!!!! Udhar hi picture ka 30 Rs (or 50% of ticket price, whichever is higher) vasool hai !! Anil Kapoor does well, has some damn cool scenes in the movie, kareena is eye candy, and saif gets an all-female call center of his own at the end of the movie (this concept alone is worth another 10 Rs. vasool)…The movie’s music is good, costumes and locations are very nice, the movie lives up to its name. Did I mention the Bacchan Pandey theme music? It’s a winner!!

Conclusions –

Overall, I liked the movie, and recommend that everyone watch it if its at a theatre near your home for 2 ½ hrs. of tp (movie is 2 ¾ hrs long but last 15 minutes are not that good)… So go watch it today (or whenever)
