Satyagraha - A multi-starrer movie with a bad plot

Satyagraha is a Bollywood flick directed by Prakash Jha, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Rao, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai. The movie revolves around two friends – Ajay Devgn and Indraneil Sengupta, who are very different from each other in terms of personalities. Indraneil is like his father who believes in working for the country and bringing in change in the political system of the nation where as Ajay Devgn is business minded and believes in making quick money. Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Indraneil father and is a teacher who is very depressed with the indian political system & wants to do something for everyone in his gaon (village). Amrita Rao is Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter-in-law and Ajay Devgans sister-in-law. Arjun Rampal is just there for appearance, just like Amrita Rao and doesn’t have any major role to play. Kareena is a journalist who falls in love with Ajay Devgn eventually. The funny part is, in between all the hush h...

Why Did Ghanchakkar movie not fare well at the Box office?


Ghanchakkar is Bollywood-suspense-comedy movie starring Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan. It is directed by Rajkumar Gupta and produced by Ronnie Screwvala. Ghanchakkar is a movie about a married man (Emraan Hashmi) living a mediocre life and is harrowed by his mom and wife and plans to join hands with two thieves to rob a bank. The movie begins with Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi having dinner, when his mom calls and asks him if has had dinner and if Vidya Balan (his wife) ever cooks for him. In the entire movie, the mother keeps on calling her son to know about his whereabouts and learn about his life. As the movie proceeds, two new characters are introduced – Pandit & Idris played by Rajesh Sharma and Namit Das respectively. Rajesh Sharma has worked with Vidya Balan before in the movie The Dirty Pitcure (remember the guy who gives Silk her first break in the movie) and Namit Das has played the role of Ranbir Kapoors friend in the movie (Wake Up Sid). Both Rajesh Sharma and Namit Das are brilliant actors who get into the skin of the character to bring out the best in them.

Rajesh and Namit coax Emraan Hashmi to rob a bank and after they have robbed the bank, they ask Emraan to keep the money for 3 months and then meet at a common place after 3 months and divide the money equally. Unfortunately Emraan meets with an accident and suffers from amnesia, due to which he doesn’t remember where he kept the money. The entire movie revolved around how the two of his partners in crime harrow him to recollect where he kept the money, which includes staying with Emraan Hashmi & Vidya Balan in his house and then finally in the end there is a third new character introduced who is the main culprit. He is the one who sends Pandit and Idris to coax Emraan to rob the bank. This man shoots everyone in the movie and gets off the train, just then, the injured Emraan Hashmi gets a call from his mom, who reminds him if  the bag being with her, as he had kept it there after looting the bank. The culprit runs and boards the train but dies in the process. The movie ends with Emraan throwing away his phone and not remembering his mom either.

All in all I feel Vidya Balan, Emraan Hashmi, Rajesh Sharma and Namit Das have acted very well. However the plot was not that strong. Didn’t look realistic.
I would rate it a 4 / 10

THE DIRTY PICTURE

Oo La la Oo la la, Yes i simply love that song and i simply loved the movie too. The story of the movie is very typical, rags to riches and then fall down. However, what i loved about the movie, is the acting, Vidya Balan is absolutely fabulous, with her strong bindaas character & “I care a damn” attitude. The movie revolves around the story of a B-grade movie actress who believes that the entertainment industry loves skin shows, skimpy clothes, horny expressions & fleshy body& people want and like to see all of this on screen. She believes that she has the power rule the glamour world just by her looks & expressions, which she indeed does. She reaches the peak of success but is unable to manage it. She experiences love, lust, betrayal, jealousy, confidence, faith, regret & guilt and finally gives up on her life. She lives her life her way, by her rules & dies her way too... The dialogues of the movie are filthy but very well delivered; also bappi da has do...
