Bhindi Baazaar Inc.(2011) : Movie review

Bhindi Baazaar Inc. is an upcoming Hindi thriller directed by Ankush Bhatt and produced by Karan Arora, starring Kay Kay Menon, Piyush Mishra, Prashant Narayanan, Deepti Naval,Shilpa Shukla, Pawan Malhotra. The film is set in the underbelly of Mumbai, between the infamous by-lanes where crime is prevalent as a way of life. The film was announced at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. The film is slated to release in April 2011.

The film revolves around gangs of Mumbai who have embraced pickpocketing as an art and a means of earning a livelihood. They use their intelligence as a canvas and their spontaneity as a brush to survive in this dangerous profession. ‘Bhindi Baazaar Inc.’ is the story of a pawn and his calculated moves to reach the other end of the chessboard. Revolving around vicious crime syndicates, the film starts with a game of chess being played between two characters; ‘Shroff’ and ‘Darzi’. It highlights the ambitious and planned moves of a pawn to reach the other end of the board. Their every move in the game correlates with life in the real world and how people are used or killed as the game progresses. The story is based on the quest of a small time pickpocket ‘Fateh’ and his ambitions to become a MAMU (local area don). The screenplay underlines the gritty politics, feared hierarchy, unspoken rules, authoritative commands, shrewd intelligence, crafty wit and cold blooded betrayals, within the business. The film was shot on various locations in and around Mumbai's densely populated Bhindi Bazaar area, and a 30-day final schedule began 15 April 2010.

The cast of the film is:

• Kay Kay Menon as Shroff
• Piyush Mishra as Pandey

Mars Needs Moms (2011) : Movie review pics images 2011 star cast

Mars Needs Moms is a 3D computer-animated sci-fi film based on the book by Berkeley Breathed. It is set to be released on March 11, 2011 by Walt Disney Pictures and is directed by Simon Wells. The film stars both Seth Green (performance-capture) and newcomer Seth Dusky (voice) as the main character Milo, and is produced by Robert Zemeckis and his studio ImageMovers Digital. 

Milo (Seth Green- voice)  is always being nagged by his mom (Joan Cusack – voice) to eat his broccoli, do his chores and when she sends him to bed with no TV one night, Milo gets into a big fight with her and tells her to her face he wished he didn’t have a mom. Ouch.

So when the Supervisor (Mindy Sterling – voice) has been monitoring the Earth to find good moms to abduct and come steal their memories and download them into their nanny bots, she sees her chance in grabbing Milo’s mom. Milo, a little while after their argument, feels bad and wants to go apologize to his mom. Good thing he did, because he hitched a ride on the space ship when they were taking his mom away.Through some crazy turn of events, Milo finds the only other human on Mars, a flashback to the 1980’s astronaut named Gribble (Dan Fogler – voice). Gribble is so happy to see another human that he pegs Milo as his new BFF. Milo has to convince Gribble to help Milo save his mom, and according to Gribble’s calculations, he has only 6 hours to do so, until she becomes Martian toast. Milo, Gribble and with the help of fellow girl psychedelic, flower child/ graffiti artist Martian Ki, (Elisabeth Harnois – voice) race against the sunrise, other crazy female Martians, and the odd, Rastafarian male Martians and the scary Supervisor to save Milo’s mom and get them back to Earth before it’s too late. Will they succeed in time or will Milo have to live together with Gribble in the trash heap forever?

I think all kids have a tendency when they get frustrated with their parents or even their siblings, to wish that they were not related. What Mars Needs moms does is weave a great story complete with amazing animation and special effects to bring a heartwarming message or two that will please the parents and resonate with the kids. If parents can only get the key message of the movie, then everyone comes out a winner (No Charlie Sheen is nowhere to be found in this film). In a rather unusual move, the filmmakers decided to use two actors to portray the central character – with Seth Green acting out the role and Seth Dursky providing Milo’s voice. Green does an excellent job of becoming this enthusiastic, plucky young boy, with the actor’s expressive performance mirrored by Dusky’s energetic voice work. Cusack and Tom Everett Scott are solid as Milo’s concerned parents, while Mindy Sterling turns in an impressively vicious performance as the film’s larger-than-life villain. And although Fogler is initially somewhat grating as Gribble, the actor manages to transform his lonely character into a figure worthy of the viewer’s sympathy. 

 Mars Needs Moms is hardly in the same league as Pixar or DreamWorks Animation, but then, it doesn’t really seem to be going for that kind of a feel. Instead, Wells and his team have crafted a fun, consistently entertaining adventure film that feels like a throwback to the summer movies of the 1980s – including The Goonies, Gremlins, and Back to the Future. And while the film is by no means perfect – it does feel a little long at times and Gribble’s lair is almost oppressively grungy – Mars Needs Moms is a solid computer-animated flick that should leave adults just as satisfied and entertained as kids.

Battle: Movie review pics images starcast storyline

 Los Angeles (also known as Battle: LA and World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles) is a 2011 action science fiction film directed by Jonathan Liebesman, and starring Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Peña, Nzinga Blake, Ne-Yo, and Bridget Moynahan. The events of the film are inspired by The Battle of Los Angeles, a falsely suspected air raid of Los Angeles that took place during World War II.

It’s August 12th, 2011 and the world is at war. What NASA suspects to be incoming meteors, turns out to be an invading alien race – a hostel one. The enemy ships assume positions near major cities across the globe and send their units in to take out everyone in sight. Their only hope for survival lies in the armed forces. The film focuses on a particular platoon fighting the invaders in Los Angeles. Fresh out of training, 2nd Lt. William Martinez (Ramon Rodriguez) is appointed to lead a team of men at a moment’s notice. He’s joined by SSgt. Michael Nantz (Aaron Eckhart), a seasoned marine struggling to get past a mission gone wrong. The unit is assigned to rescue a group of civilians holed up in a police station in the middle of the mayhem. They've got three hours to complete the rescue and make it back to safety before an airstrike demolishes the area. Right off the bat, you’re reeled in by the action. 

The first few minutes of the film give a comprehensive and compelling overview of the overwhelmingly hostile situation. From there, we cut to 24 hours before the attack. The platoon soldiers are going about their business; Cpl. Kevin Harris (Ne-Yo) is picking out flowers with his wife for their wedding, Cpl. Jason Lockett (Cory Hardrict) is visiting his brother’s grave and the whole gang enjoys some beer.

Regardless, the film keeps a nice pace as the action begins. The first street battle is quite compelling, particularly when Pfc. Shaun Lenihan (Noel Fisher), the youngest of the bunch, has a one-on-one with an invader. In fact, all of the fight scenes really maintain a great deal of energy and suspense, the problem is, there are just too many of them. Battle: Los Angeles is a war movie and nothing more. The platoon literally goes from one battle to the next from beginning to end. A man with a well-refined character, throughout the film Nantz switches between insightful male patriarch figure and heroic action-oriented leader; he is a stoic yet sensitive Marine. Unfortunately, he has a bad reputation for losing soldiers under his command and placing his own survival as the most important objective. Can Nantz win the support of his men and simultaneously win the battle against this unknown threat?

 

 

The enemy in Battle: Los Angeles is an unfamiliar force that appears both organic and robotic, rooted in a fresh science-fiction-based design. The mystery that surrounds its origin is left in the shadows, yet with nothing lost in the cinematic process. 

The movie’s focus on the lone squadron of warriors as they struggle to rescue civilians, escape from West L.A., and defeat their newfound foes is captivating all the way to the end.

Game : Movie review pics images star cast

 

GAME releases at a time when a different game, of bat and ball is at its peak. The Cricket World Cup mania has gripped the entire country, with India beating Pakistan for a clash against Sri Lanka in the finals. The movie GAME is jointly produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Shidwani. The movie is directed by Abhinay Deo. The famous trio of Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy are in the charge of creating the music for the songs. None other than, Javed Akhtar have taken up the responsibility of penning the lyrics for the songs of the movie. The star cast of the movie is pretty interesting and includes few of the biggest and most talented names of Bollywood. The ex Miss IndiaSarah Jane Dias, Jimmy Shergill, Boman Irani, Shahana Goswami, Soniya Jehan, Abhishek Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut, Anupam Kher, Gauhar Khan and Sikander Kher are part of the acting members of the flick.
The movie belongs to action and murder mystery genre. As far as the trailers are concerned, the movie seems to be sleek and cool.

Anyway, leaving the excitement of Cricket aside, let's talk about Game here. It's about four troubled individuals from different parts of the world - casino owner Neil Menon (Abhishek Bachchan), politician OP Ramsay (Boman Irani), actor Vikram Kapoor (Jimmy Shergill) and journalist Tisha Khanna (Shahana Goswami). All of them receive personalised handwritten invitations by billionaire Kabir Malhotra (Aupam Kher), offering them a helping hand if they arrive at his private island of Samos in Greece. Getting easily convinced and without wasting much time, all of them reach the exotic island, only to find out, they have been tricked. It turns out; they were all responsible in some way or the other, for the death of Kabir's daughter Maya (Sarah Jane Dias), three years back. Before Kabir can avenge the death of his daughter, he is found dead, in what looks like a suicide. Detective Sia Agnihotri (Kangna Ranaut) feels otherwise and interrogates the four visitors, holding them murder suspects.

 

 

Faltu: movie review pics images story line star cast songs entertainment

F.A.L.T.U (meaning: Fakirchand and Lakirchand Trust University) is an Indian comedy film directed by Remo D'Souza and produced by Vashu Bhagnani under the banner Puja Entertainment (India) Ltd. It is a remake of the 2006 comedy, Accepted.

It stars Jackky Bhagnani, Puja Gupta, Riteish Deshmukh and Arshad Warsi. Many stars likeBoman Irani, Akbar Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Angad Bedi and Chandan-Roy Sanyal appear in pivotal roles.

Like a headline is to a newspaper report, a title is to a film. You all will agree that F.A.L.T.U. is a very attractive title. It's a different thing whether you like it or not. But it surely catches your attention. Also, the song Char baj gaye lekin party abhi baki hai from the film has become a sensation, particularly among the youth. 

Following the path of films like Taare Zameen Par and 3 Idiots, F.A.L.T.U. takes on the education system. Being inspired from the 2006 film Accepted, it's about four college friends - Ritesh (Jackky Bahagnani), Pooja (Puja Gupta), Vishnu (Chandan Roy Sanyal) and Nanj (Angad Bedi), who just want to enjoy life. Ritesh even turns up late for his last exam as he was busy packing for his Goa trip. And when the results come out, Ritesh, Pooja and Nanj have just about managed to pass their exams, failing to get admission in any college. So, with the help of Vishnu, they start a fake institution named Fakirchand and Lakirchand Trust University or F.A.L.T.U. to bring a smile on their parents' faces. They create a website and give a newspaper advertisement of the institute so that it looks authentic. With the help of kindhearted Google Chand (Arshad Warsi) they even get a place in Panchgani and a young principal named Baaji Rao (Riteish Deshmukh) for the institute. Trouble arises when students actually turn up at F.A.L.T.U..

F.A.L.T.U. begins impressively with a fun animated title sequence. And it is followed by the characters' college life which makes you smile and reminds of your own college days. The narrative moves smoothly in the first half which is full of energy. Its post the interval, that the graph dips and the proceedings become humdrum for a while. Debutant director Remo D'Souza then charms you with his choreography skills with an amazing song in the climax which sums up the entire film beautifully. It's hard not to shed a tear or two during the song.

The film propagates that being excellent in studies in not the only thing. It's more important to study what you like. It also gives the tip to make your hobby your profession. It makes you realise the importance of people. These are the things which surely make you think.
Jigar and Sachin's music is excellent and goes well with the film. Char baj gaye lekin party abhi baki hai is undoubtedly the best track. Vijay Arora's cinematography is nice.

Jackky Bhagnani puts up a confident act. Debutante Puja Gupta is passable and needs to polish her acting skills. Arshad Warsi is hilarious. Riteish Deshmukh is good. Chandan Roy Sanyal impresses yet again after KAMINEY with a superb performance. Angad Bedi is okay in his debut film. Darshan Jariwala is fine. F.A.L.T.U. is a sincere attempt which asks the right questions about our education system. And yes, it's not at all F.A.L.T.U.
