"Tahaan - A boy with a grenade" is a fable-like journey of the eponymous eight-year-old boy, whose life revolves around the pursuit to find real purpose in his little world. Tahaan (Purav Bhandare) lives with his grandfather (Victor Banerjee), his mother Haba (Sarika) and older sister Zoya (Sana Shaikh,) in the serene meadows of Kashmir. They all live in the hope that someday Tahaan's father, who's been missing for over three years, will return. The death of his grandfather leads the local moneylender Lalaji and his manager Kuka (Rahul Khanna) to take away the assets of the family, including their pet donkey Birbal, against repayment of a pending loan.
Now, life for Tahaan, his mother and sister takes a turn towards rougher pastures. For Tahaan, bringing his favourite donkey Birbal back home becomes the sole purpose in life. After various efforts at money-making, Tahaan approaches Lalaji with the prospect of regaining his lost asset but is devastated to learn that an old man Subhan Darr (Anupam Kher) has bought Birbal and taken him across the mountains… the same mountains from where Tahaan's father never returned. But Tahaan sums up courage and chases after Subhan. The prophetic old man doesn't befriend Tahaan at first sight but slowly warms up to this energetic and determined soul whose love for Birbal is paramount.
But at the end of the journey, Tahaan is further disheartened when Subhan gifts Birbal to his orphaned eight-year-old nephew, and even the long-time helper of Subhan called Zafar (Rahul Bose), cannot be of any assistance to poor Tahaan. On his way back home, Tahaan finally encounters a teenage lad Idrees, who convinces him that his efforts would never be sufficient to get Birbal back. Instead, he promises to get Birbal back for a favour. All Tahaan will have to do is carry a package across the mountains on his next journey. Seeing Tahaan's eagerness, Idrees hands him a grenade. He tells him that when the time is right he will be told what is to be done. Tahaan sets off on his second journey with Subhan and Zafar, the grenade and package tucked away under Birbal's saddle.
What is the price that Tahaan will have to pay for Birbal? And how far will he go to save his only meaning in life? Tahaan is now at a crossroad where his ultimate decision would determine his fate… "Will he get Birbal back?"

Movie Review - Karzzzz
Movie:Karzzzz
Cast: Urmila Matondkar, Gulshan Grover,Danny Denzongpa,Himesh Reshammiya
Producer: Krishan Kumar , Bhushan Kumar
Music Director: Himesh Reshammiya
Director: Satish Kaushik
Karzzzz is a film that explores the psychological traits every individual possesses. Some so powerful, they lead us to vices like greed, obsession, hatred, deceit, betrayal and even Murder.
Set amidst the majestic and breathtaking locales of South Africa, Karzzzz is a remake of the 1980 Subhash Ghai hit Karz.
The protagonist Monty is an extremely successful Rock Star based in South Africa; he is phenomenally popular and is worshipped like an idol.
In course of one of the many parties he attends, he meets Tina, a ballet dancer. For Monty, its love at first sight. But, Tina returns home immediately, after leaving Monty fretting. That’s when things start to change.
During one of his rehearsals, Monty starts playing a tune and suddenly goes into a trance, with intense visual flashes - a mansion, a temple, a beautiful girl… Monty collapses unconscious.
On further probe, he finds out; the mansion belonged to a certain Ravi Verma, who died in a tragic accident. Another flash back reveals that Monty was Ravi Verma in his previous life, married to a beautiful girl called Kamini.
Monty now has the grave realization of having been reborn in his current persona. His beautiful love interest (Tina) is none other than Kamini’s foster daughter. From here starts Monty’s new journey.
A journey of enthralling vengeance, which he unleashes on Kamini. In close connivance with her wicked accomplice Sir Juda, Kamini had murdered Ravi to take over his estate, leaving his family helpless after his death.
To repay the debt he owed them for all their suffering, Monty now brings his mother and sister out from the dark recesses of their life; he also reunites with Tina and culminates his incomplete love from a previous life.
Monty thus absolves himself; of all the Karzzzz he was reborn with… That’s Karzzzz for you.
Movie Review - Rock On
Movie:Rock On
Actors: Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Luke Kenny, Purab Kohli and Prachi Desai.
Producer: Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani
Music Director: Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Lyrist: Javed Akhtar
Director: Abhishek Kapoor
Take a bow, Farhan Akhtar and the gang for making an absolutely rocking, elating and captivating movie that’s about much, much more than just music. It’s about Magik.
Friends – no matter if you’re a rocker or no-rocker – this is one movie you shouldn’t miss. Even if you have an ingrained aversion to the jarring sounds of the distortion-guitars and keep a safe audible distance from anything with a semblance of rock, you should still watch this flick. Because after watching it, you cannot help falling in love with it. The Magik of this movie works on you and sends you home with a feeling to ‘keep on rocking in a free world’.
than about music, ‘Rock On’ is a tale of bonding, a tale of loss, a tale of following one’s heart, and a tale of rejuvenation. It’s a story of four friends who drifted apart when they were just on the cusp of kissing fame.
Aditya (Farhan Akhtar) is a brooding investment banker who’s got riches and a beautiful wife (a gorgeous Prachi Desai ), but no happiness in life. KD (Purab Kohli) is the odd man out at his rich dad’s jewelry firm. Joe ( Arjun Rampal ) sits at his guitar shop and does pretty much nothing except play a few melodies or listen to the endless bickering of his wife Debbie (Sahana Goswami) who’s the sole provider of the family. And Rob (Luke Kenny) takes on odd musical assignments with music directors (Anu Malik plays a cameo), composing for ad jingles.
The four lead their separate lives. But they had something common once – music and ‘Magik’. Yeah, that was the name of their rock band that broke up when they were working on their first album. Ten years later, Aditya’s wife brings the estranged friends together. And Magik is revived. But there are tough choices to be made by the four friends.
‘Rock On’ grips you from its very opening reels when you are introduced to the dull, mechanical lives of the four protagonists. The sense of emptiness is intelligently highlighted by the contrasting flashbacks of their juvenile past when everything was hip and happening, and life was a song.
Director Abhishek Kapoor deserves a solid (if possible, rocking) pat on his back for making such a real and yet deeply moving film. Before anything, Abhishek ensures a tight script with every single character finely fleshed out. Then he has a proper ensemble cast in place. Above all, Abhishek doesn’t falter in the telling of the story. His direction is spot on and he extracts brilliant performances from the cast.
Farhan Akhtar is simply a revelation. Take my word, friends, his performance in the film can put some established stars in our industry to shame. He is stilted and uptight as the business-fixated banker, and he’s charming and lithe as the long-haired singer of the band.
Arjun Rampal has been surprising his critics since his performance in Om Shanti Om . This time, Arjun gives a restrained and stoic performance as a failed musician with incredible tolerance towards his carping wife – played superbly by Sahana Goswami.
Purab Kohli provides ample comic relief as the band’s ‘killer drummer’. Luke Kenny surprises you by the ease with which he plays the cool-as-a-cucumber keyboardist.
Prachi Desai – almost looking like Penelope Cruz – is eye-grabbing and delivers an impressive performance while Koel Purie hardly has a role to write about.
Being a movie about a rock band, ‘Rock On’ obviously has a number of songs, some of which are quite catchy. And the movie has many memorable moments that move you – at times to smiles, and at times to tears. Two of my favourites are when the band plays the cheesy Bollywood track ‘Ashiqui Ke Liye’ in its rock version at a dandia party and the final concert when Aditya sings Joe’s song.
Hats off to Abhishek Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani for giving us a truly entertaining film in all aspects. I’m not going to indulge in fault-finding just for the heck of critically reviewing a movie. It’s the ‘Rock On’ effect that’s rejuvenated me.
Hell, I feel like buying a guitar. But before that, I will catch this movie once again. I suggest you too do so.
Rating: ****
Movie Review - Chamku
Movie: Chamku
Cast: Bobby Deol, Priyanka Chopra, Irfaan Khan, Danny Denzongpa, Akhilendra Mishra, Arya Babbar, Ritesh Deshmukh, Rajpal Yadav, Rosa Catalano
Story Writer: Kabeer Kaushik
Producer: Vijayta Films
Director: Kabeer Kaushik
Everyone within the reachable radius of film’s hero ends up getting shot. Past the interval mark, you lose the dead-count and don’t care for it either. And the sullen protagonist with his chronic broodiness is no relief to the eyes.
That’s ‘Chamku’ for you. All lackluster and no chamak.
movie tells the tale of a Naxalite Chamku ( Bobby Deol ) who’s miraculously saved after a police encounter and inducted into covert operations by RAW and IB (quite a leap from one side of the law to the other). Working for the government, Chamku kills cold-bloodedly. He assassinates the anti-national elements without whom the IB, in all its wisdom, deems the world to be a better place.
So Chamku becomes a killing machine until his heart throbs the moment he sets eyes on a kindergarten teacher ( Priyanka Chopra ) who, too, falls for ‘Chamku’ despite the fact that he is visibly the most unromantic, if not boring, person and his conversations with her are restricted to the mono-syllabic hmm..ha.
Ho Hum.
With the movie seemingly going nowhere, director Kabeer Kaushik (who’s not even half as good as he was in Sehar ) decides to throw in a twist. The plot takes a vendetta angle with the entry of a chubby-cheeked Thakur whom Chamku has hated since childhood.
After that the story keeps zigzagging like the bullets that fly zooming by in every next frame of this grossly violent film. Chamku plans revenge but is dissuaded from the course by his shrewd boss ( Irrfan Khan ) until Thakur himself emerges before him one day.
‘Chamku’ starts off very well and totally grips you in the fade-in-fade-out sequence where the Naxalites are assassinated en masse by the cops. But somewhere down the track the story loses its direction and the vendetta angle takes it further off the course.
Bobby Deol convincingly keeps a singular expression for the most part of the film, but that’s not a compliment for his performance. Priyanka Chopra perhaps had ample free time on her hand that she even decided to do this film. Ritesh Deshmukh makes a brief appearance as Chamku’s colleague who plans to retire from his bloody job but retires from the world instead. Irrfan Khan is visibly uninterested in playing the character of Chamku’s manipulative boss.
All said, ‘Chamku’ turns out to be a big disappointment if you compare it with director Kabeer Kaushik’s riveting ‘Sehar’. The movie’s plot is as disjointed as the life of its protagonist. The songs are as painful as the refreshments bill in the multiplex. The film has some stunning visuals and a few deftly executed sequences, but that’s too little a compensation for the time and money spent (rather wasted) on this grim and slow film.
