KRRISH 3 : ITS MAKING:

How to make a recipe(movie) called KRRISH 3:

Ingredients:

- Screen Play, script writers, VFX supervisors and VFX companies of the companies that worked for the following movies:

- X-MEN Series (Magneto + Charles Xavier + Storm + toad + mystique + other mutants) - No need to mention anything about it.

- The Dark Knight Trilogy - Wide shots that feature Krrish on top of construction cranes and buildings; seems to be inspired by the dark landscapes of Gotham city in Batman.

- Spider Man 1,2 & 3 - Krrish spanning across buildings

- Spider Man 3, The Avengers and Man of Steel - Krrish under the building stopping the building from falling on the people below

- The Amazing Spider man - First person view of krrish leaping of a building and the antidote exploding in the night sky.

- Transformers 3 - Building topples and grinds on another building.

- Man of Steel (you could also consider its sequel Batman vs Superman for added flavor(humor)) - Climax fight between Krrish and Kaal.

- I am a Legend & World War Z - Fighting against deadly virus.

- Inception - The Swiss mountaintop housing Kaal's laboratory

- Class 1 - 3;Science text books.

- VFX (any quality).

- Sentiment.

- Expressions (Over-Expressions also works better).

- and at last humanity.

Procedure:

1. Take a pan of large quantity and put it on the stove.

2. Heat the pan for some time.

3. Chop the script from X-Men series and Spider Man series evenly and boil them in the I am a Legend's script till they turn into Indian flavors.

4. Cut large slices from The Dark Knight trilogy, Transformers 3 and Man of Steel. Grind them properly such that they mix well together.

5. Heat the grinded paste in a large oven by putting the necessary sentiment and humanity. Keep it stored for a long period of time.

6. Once the gravy made from X-Men and Spider Man series is ready, add some expressions to it to keep it fresh.

7. Take the stored grinded paste and add it to the gravy along with the Science text books taken earlier. Mix the contents well.

8. Store it in the refrigerator for some time and then heat it again.

9. Add the necessary VFX as per taste and cost. Decorate it beautifully.

There you are now with the Krrish 3 recipe ready to eat.

Don Jon

*ing : Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore
Director : Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Tagline : Everyone loves a happy ending

I give this movie a 5 star rating because it has a message. It has a true purpose to it, which effects nearly every man on the planet.

Ladies, you can listen to this, but be reasonable. Guys, we all masturbate. Some of us do it more than others, most of us look at porn. Some of us only masturbate to porn and some of us have real hard fetishes.

This movie points to the problem, the process of porn turning our heads, making us believe in perfection and making us ultimately selfish as lovers.

You watch porn, you don't have to please a woman, you don't have to worry about anyone but yourself. It is all perfect. In the real world, in relationships, the other person matters just as much as you, but sometimes, even the real thing is not as good as the fantasy and the ease of it.

Don Jon is about that confusion of liking and appreciating porn more than real women, of becoming addicted to the idea of 'perfection' and the ultimate realization of the effect it has on all us men, making us irritated little boys, incapable of truly connecting with another person.

The message is not that porn is bad, only the way we think and use it is misleading to reality.

But, this is not the type of movie to watch with the family, the girl; it's funny, but not a comedy in a spoof and clown type of way. Watch this movie alone, think about yourself and how porn effects you. It will benefit you greatly.

Dhoom 3

*ing : Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bacchhan, Uday Chopra, Katrina Kaif
Director : Vijay Krishna Acharya

Tagline :

First things first, the movie is heavily copied from 'PRESTIGE’. You may like it only till the time the secret isn't revealed, and once it is out, you feel cheated
Second, Remember "Tropic Thunder" ? The movie opens with a number of fake movie trailers mocking mainstream films , themes, franchises and even the baritone voice of the presenter.

Dhoom-3 could easily have been one of those fake movies. After all Amir Khan wore a striking resemblance to "Simple Jack" .

Ladies and Gentlemen , this movie is a first rate spoof . The only problem is (and this has the problem with many bollywood movies)that it was intended to be a spoof. This fact, makes it all the more ridiculous and tragically funny.

Abhishek Bachan and Uday Chopra(who , surprisingly did create two or three funny moments ) reprise their roles as the "Supercops" from India , adept at chasing down master criminals . With their worn out jeans and flashy , unfashionable clothes , they can be mistaken for buffoons from a 90's flick . But wait. No, I am wrong, since that position is ably occupied by Amir Khan.

What with silly hats and ridiculously imbecile facial expressions , Amir Khan fits in really well in this nonsensical amalgamation of bad story, poor screenplay and pathetic acting.

I shall not waste your time by trying to pin point the exact instances (and there were many, believe me) when logic was molested in this movie. Still , to provide a holistic view of the unintelligent debacle , one only needs to watch a 30 second clipping from the movie in which Mr.Khan runs down the facade of a building with a "Bunty turns serious" kind of an expression.This scene sums up the film.

The story follows the righteous crusade launched by a victim of the Banking Industry , against the Bank . While, one may have appreciated the ingenuity in choosing a corporate body as the villain , one cannot fathom the logic behind the methods adopted by the protagonist to destroy the "Monster" .

Silly , boring chase scenes eat up 2/3rd of the reel and the remaining 1/3rd is devoted to utterly childish sentimentality and acting.

The director succeeds in debunking the myths of the SWAT teams efficiency and makes the said team an object of ridicule , when during one scene the SWAT team is rescued by the Indian dude-cop duo .

Abhishek retains the "Constipated Angry Old Man" expression throughout and Amir Khan tries hard to hide the "I know I am looking ridiculous " look.

I won't call the movie a disaster ,since a disaster too has its saving grace. Dhoom-3 has none.

Red 2

*ing : Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Brian Cox
Director : Dean Parisot

Tagline :The best never rest.

This was a very enjoyable film. The story continues with the retired - and more dangerous than anybody else - agents. Frank and his comrades find themselves treading all over the globe and finding conflict at each stop.

If you haven't seen the first film, you can still enjoy this piece. You won't understand all of the relationships immediately, but the story stands on its own. And it does a very good job at that.

The movie was so much fun. It had clever and well-thought out jokes throughout the film. The jokes kept coming and were very skillfully timed.

The action was thrilling. Along with the jokes, non-stop action to get your blood pumping filled this film. They kept the same feel of cool, unreasonable stunts and explosions from the first movie, but they also added a lot more hand-to-hand combat, which was still very amusing to watch and excellently choreographed.

The acting was great and the story was well-written with actual twists. The soundtrack and sound effects made all the guns and explosions that much more convincing and enjoyable.

This film had a much higher body count than the last one, but still managed to keep it pretty light-hearted. If you liked the first one, this film will not disappoint. If you haven't seen the first one it's still very entertaining to watch.

Gori tere Pyaar Main

*ing : Imran Khan, Kareena Kapoor
Director : Punit Malhotra

Tagline : Only love can Bridge the gap

Rom-com flicks are one of genre which has not been experimented in Bollywood much lately. Gori Teri Pyaar Mein was refreshing change for me among sleuth of masala films in recent times.
Imran Khan plays a good-for-nothing architect working in his dad's firm who has no respect for any relationships. Kareena Kapoor plays is a social crusader who wants to help the needy. They fell in love only to break-up. However, Sriram travels to a remote village to build a bridge for the local people to win back his love at any cost.

From the director of "I Hate Love Story", Puneet Malhotra does a fine job in trying out something different. Though the love story is predictable, it is the treatment of subject that makes it set apart. The first half is hilarious, fun and has moments to remember. Second half begins with a bang but the climax makes it a spoilsport. How I wish it could be handled with maturity and overall it would have been a good rom-com to watch. Music by Vishal-Shekhar is a let down.
Overall, I liked the film and found it to be surprisingly fair entertainment.

Bombay Talkies

*ing : Rani Mukharjee, Nawazuddin Siddaqeui, Randeep Hooda, Katrina Kaif, Amitabh Bacchhan
Director : Karan Johar, Dibakar Banarjee, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap


Tagline :

First off - This movie is not as commercial as it was made out to be. With directors like Karan Johar, Dibakar Banarjee, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap. Out of four, I think Karan is the most mainstream director.


Coming to the four films,
#1 Karan Johar - Trash. Most of the reviews I read seemed to like Karan Johar's film, but I really didn't see the point. The film had little to do with Indian Cinema. People seem impressed with the fact that it's bold. It was bold, but forcefully so. As if Johar was trying very hard to be mature. The result was that the film seemed unrealistic and over the top with sexual references and jokes. And it had some rubbish moments. Ostensibily, Karan tried to show Gays in proper light bt he did more harm than good. Ridiculous.

#2 Dibakar Bannerjee - My Favorite. A failed actor (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) who gets roped in to a movie shoot. Beautifully done, and Siddiqui was brilliant as always. You feel emotionally attached to the character. My eyes welled up. I am willing to watch this one over and over again.

#3 Zoya Akhtar - Cute. A little boy who wants to be Sheila from 'Sheila ki Jawaani'. Nicely portrayed. The direction seemed novice though. Also, ended tad abruptly.

#4 Anurag Kashyap - Oh! the irony. This one depended more on the storyline than on the screenplay like the others. I had high expectations from Kashyap and he did not fail me. It's a brilliant story and you will find yourself rooting for the character as he tries hard to meet Amitabh Bachchan.

Overall, this is my opinion,

The Best - Dibakar Bannerjee Also good - Anurag Kashyap OK: Zoya Akhtar . Bad: Karan Johar.
