I’d read lots abt this movie “Eklavya”, with a multi star cast. Demi-God – Mr. Bachchan, Mrs. Nawaab – Sharmila Tagore, Chhote Nawaab - Mr. Saif Ali Khan, one -film-wonder – Vidya Balan (same fuckin expression in every movie, AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGG), Boman Irani (I JUST LOVE THIS MAN), Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt n Jimmy Shergill, phew….. Wanted to see what this movie was abt coz the promos looked really exotic with all these Jaipur palaces beautifully lit, awesome locales n all… N boy, i got to catch up that movie tonite (just sometime back). Now for a lil review from this lame duck:
Awrite, first things first: Cinematography – BRILLIANT, Costumes – WOWIIEEE n thats abt it. Dint understand one word of what Vidya was saying (Man that woman needs to shake her Godforsaken vocal chords a bit to get some sound outta her). She was whispering all thru the movie. WHY?
I dunno wat Jimmy was doing with his BLING BLING shoes n weird hairdo n all! Again WHY??
Jackie Shroff… Now Ive seen this man from like 5 feet away during my college function n he still looks the same!! Totally wasted in this movie… AGAIN WHY???
Boman Irani – Sincere performance with his wig ( I loved the seen where he starts crying wildly n in an attempt to show what TEARING APART UR HAIR is all abt, he pulls out his wig, LOLZZ). But alas… AGAIN WHY????
Sharmila Tagore – Easily the easiest role ever (even I cud have played this part with easeeeeee). All she had to do was to lay down in RAJA RANI ka bed, look tired (with abt 3 inches of make up on) n keep saying EKLAVYA, EKLAVYA…. throughout the lifespan of her role (which was abt for 3 minutes)… AGAIN WHY?????
Saif Ali Khan - I kinda liked him in this movie(So I wont say anything more abt Chhote Nawaab n his performance), probably coz the other characters wer serioulsy pathetic. AGAIN WHY??????
Sanjay Dutt – Good comic timing n I will stop it there…..
Finally, AB – Now WHY ON EARTH DID THIS MAN CHOSE TO PLAY A PART IN THIS MOVIE?????????????????????????????? May be he needed money to pay for his son’s wedding! I think that cud have been the only reason for a man of his stature to accept such a sad role! I cant believe that the director of the movie, Mr. V V Chopra gifted a ROLLS ROYCE to AB for his performance!!! AGAIN WHY?????????????????
Towards the end of the movie they showed this interview of the director where he said he spent 5 years writing this movie. WHAT?? 5 FUCKIN YEARS??????????? For wat?? WRITING THIS MOVIE?????? Man, after the hour n a half torture of watching this movie n ur hilariouos i’view (5 YEARS FOR WRITING THIS GODDAMN MOVIE, WHY?????????), I think u’d have lost abt 1000 pages of ur script which is why this film bombed at the BO…
I was so filled with ideas for my blog n look what ur movie has done to me Mr. Chopra! U OWE ME ONE!!!!
