Department | Movie Review
7:17:00 pm
AMY
Like other Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) films, Department has an idea - a force to finish the underworld by stepping over the law's boundaries. But like other RGV flicks, this one also blasts itself out of the water, leaving you savouring jarring camerawork, flimsy acting and over-the-top violence. Inspector Mahadev Bhosle (Dutt) creates Mumbai's department to battle, ahem, mafia dons Mohammad Ghori and Sawatiya (Raaz). Bhosle inducts Shivnarayan (Daggubati) and with skulls crashing on walls, children flung out of windows and criminals impaled on rods, they take on the underworld. So far, so gross, but the film pulls along, powered largely by Daggubati whose smokin' machismo holds Department together - but not for long. That's despite Bachchan popping up as don-turned-politico Sarjerao Gaikwad, all silvery hair, dark glasses, manic laughter and a tinkling bell. Bachchan's clearly having fun - but few viewers are.
That's because Department, which should've been a taut, tense encounter between three strong men, is instead ripped to shreds by too many weak actors given puzzlingly large roles. There's a most non-don-like Raaz, living in a shed, sporting an enviably slender waist exposed by mysteriously thin dhotis. His sullen sidekicks DK (Singh) and Naseer (Shalini) make one of the most unattractive screen duos ever. They mouth lines banally, shoot bullets expressionlessly, blow smoke dully into each other's mouths, yet have more screen time than Bachchan even. Others - like Shiv's wife Bharti (Sukhani, pleasant) - havelittle to do except dodge those bullets and bodies.
The violence might even have clicked, considering the tale's twists - but crazy camerawork makes you forget all that. Varma's experimented, placing multiple cameras at different angles, treating you to close-ups of bottles pressed to mouths, lips sucking cigarettes, zooms up Dutt's hairline. The camera even flips upside down, puncturing the tension that should've vibrated between Bachchan and Dutt. One line - "Chamatkaar ko namaskar" - nails it. You stagger out sensing something wasted - Nathalia Kaur's item number's more hideous than hot, the prettiest thing around is a translucent tea-cup, the action is mind-numbing. Losing the plot and three strong stars, Department shoots itself in the foot.

Ishaqzaade | Movie Review
8:16:00 pm
AMY
Director Habib Faisal comes up with a winning love story – one that is a tragic reality in several small towns in India – and spices it up with tangible romance and drama.
Ishaqzaade is a love story set against the backdrop of two political families – the Qureshis and the Chauhans – living in a small town called Almor in what looks like Northern India. The patriarchs of both families are fighting to become the next MLA, involving in caste politics to fill their vote bank. It’s an environment of hooliganism and hatred.
Parmar Chauhan (Arjun Kapoor) and Zoya Qureshi (Parineeti Chopra) too get involved in the fight for power and supremacy. While Parmar wants to prove his worth to his grandfather, Zoya harbours political ambitions. Can love bloom between these two gun-toting hot blooded youngsters, amidst all the hatred and politics? It can and it does, as one would have expected it to from the beginning. But it is the ‘how’ that makes the film exciting.
This is not just another tale of two people whose hatred turns into love and how they fight societal norms. There is more to it than the cliche. Caught in the crossfire of hatred and politics, the rowdy Parmar and fiery Zoya are forced into an irreparable situation. Interestingly, Chand Baby (Gauhar Khan), a dancer and prostitute who is on the fringes of society, seems to understand love better than the so-called upholders of the family name and the drivers of the political system.
What makes Ishaqzaade stand out is the script. Habib Faisal scores high in the writing department. He proved that even with his first film, Do Dooni Char, where he made a simple story about a middle class Delhi family an adorable and entertaining watch. In Ishaqzaade, the way Faisal makes his characters react to each other and to the situations unfolding around them is what keeps you hooked. You get the feeling that he is losing his grip towards the end, but he comes right back and makes up for it. Habib has cast an ensemble of completely unknown faces to support Gauhar Khan, Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra. And all of them do complete justice to their parts. Habib uses the character of Parmar’s mother to offset the political environment. A character that seems weak at first, but turns out to be much stronger than the others who openly wield their power.
Habib creates a web of politics, hooliganism, culture and the small town view of inter-religious marriage beautifully and with great detail. It’s a reality that we watch on news television and often choose to shut our eyes to.
Amit Trivedi’s score is perfectly in sync with the storyline and adds to the drama unfolding on the screen, bringing alive the romance developing against a ruffian ambiance.
The strength of the film also comes from the gritty performances of its lead cast. Gauhar Khan makes a huge statement with her role as Chand Baby. Here’s one actor who is yet to be used to her full potential. She looks good and breezes through the part of a prostitute with great ease and dignity. But what everyone has been waiting for is to find out if Boney Kapoor’s son and Anil Kapoor’s nephew Arjun Kapoor can act. There is no doubt that this young man can hold his own in front of the camera. He showed lots of promise in the trailers, and he does live up to all those expectations. You can see that he has worked hard to get into the skin of the rugged and unabashed Parmar. Yet, he leaves you with a feeling that a lot more effort will be required on his part if he wants to add more depth to his roles in the future and sustain his career as an actor.
Even though he is impressive, it’s Parineeti who steals the show from the debutant. After winning accolades for her role in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, Ms Chopra lifts her performance one notch higher with Ishaqzaade. She plays the rebellious and fearless character of a Muslim girl with great conviction and strength. Here’s an actor to watch out for. It’s rare for a one-film-old actor to be able to convey the minutest of emotions and expressions with this much ease and confidence. Her spontaneity and naturalness bring the screen alive.
Parineeti’s performance is one of the aspects that make the film worth your while. Also watch Ishaqzaade for the raw, volatile and fresh chemistry between Arjun and Parineeti, for the almost flawless writing and direction by Habib, for a different kind of romance and, last but not least, the subtle and underlying statement of the harsh realities of small town love.
Performance
The chemistry between Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra is excellent. Parineeti Chopra is outstanding! Watch her emote and deliver her dialogues. Parineeti definitely has the 'ingredient' to become the number one actress in Bollywood. Arjun Kapoor is fantastic too. He does complete justice to his role. Gauhar Khan is good and dances very well. Habib Faisal has managed to extract the best performance from all other actors as well.
Verdict
Though Ishaqzaade is not the best film of the year, it's worth a watch. You won't be disappointed.

Jannat 2 | Movie Review
11:45:00 am
AMY
Director Kunal Deshmukh’s film is an impressive effort worth a one-time watch --
Jannat 2 bears no connection to Jannat. In fact, the title of the movie really doesn’t make any sense. Twice, Kunal Deshmukh tries to convince us via the lead character Sonu Dilli in a long-winded way why he has chosen to name his film Jannat 2, but the explanation is just not credible enough. Fortunately though, we can’t say the same about the story. There is just enough plausibility to convince us that it is worth sitting through till the end.
Jannat 2 follows Sonu Dilli KKC (Emraan Hashmi), a small-time weapons dealer with a weird sense of humour. He rationalises selling these killing machines by saying that he is helping to reduce the differences of status among people and bring in equality. Things change when ACP Pratap Raghuvanshi (Randeep Hooda) barges into his life and threatens to bind him to an anchor and throw him off a bridge. An injured Sonu is treated by Dr Jhanvi, played by the uber sexy Esha Gupta. The two fall in love, sing a couple of songs but Pratap intervenes with his plans. Sonu works his way up the gang and finally meets the leader Mangal Singh Tomar (Maneesh Chaudhary). Life is not smooth sailing for Sonu, Jhanvi and Pratap. The rising tension regarding their fates will stop you from falling asleep but will not push you to the edge of your seat. This tension reaches a crescendo in the climax. The end somehow just doesn’t gel with the way the plot has flowed till then. It’s almost as if one of the lead actors (we won’t tell you which one we think it is) or even the producers requested Kunal to do a last-minute rewrite of the ending.
Jannat 2 is fast-paced with plenty of double meaning dialogues. You may want to keep your children away, what with every second scene having some character or the other mouthing the choicest of abuses. The violence quotient is also quite high. And did we mention the sex? It’s an Emraan Hashmi film after all!
As the character who undergoes the most transformation, you would expect Emraan to deliver his best performance till date. What he does instead is simply reprise all his previous Roadside Romeo acts. There is nothing new in his approach to Sonu. We were also left wondering why he is called “kutti kameeni cheez” as we never see him do anything that justifies the tag. Emraan gracefully gives way to Randeep. From the moment Pratap interrupts Sonu’s shenanigans, you are hooked and want to know more about him. Randeep brings the necessary angst to his character of an anguished cop who seeks revenge. From his first scene till the last, he portrays Pratap with such brutal honesty that you can’t help but share his pain.
Kunal also extracts commendable performances from his supporting cast. Arif Zakaria has a short role but is as good as he always is. Maneesh Chaudhary is brilliantly menacing as the kingpin of the arms dealers. None of his earlier performances in Band Baajaa Baaraat or in Rocket Singh will prepare you for what he has done in Jannat 2. Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub deserves a special mention for the way he holds his own as Sonu’s friend Balli. Even Esha Gupta manages to cry somewhat convincingly but then there is hardly anything for her to do. Her role is limited to looking sexy and she does it well.
Jannat 2 doesn’t want to make you laugh, make you think or contemplate upon life. All it wants to be is an unabashed gritty Bollywood potboiler and mostly succeeds in its aim. It’s worth a watch if you have nothing else to do over the weekend.
