Ek Villain..

To start of with, I would like to clarify on thing. If you are looking for any surprise elements in the movie (just as I was) you would be utterly disappointed. The movie is definitely not a suspense thriller (contrary to what is being publicized)

Mohit Suri: Always Inspired!!!!

Mohit Suri's direction is good. The narration isn't sequential and follows the stop-rewind-fast forward-rewind pattern which we have seen in quite a few movies recently. I don't know what Korean movie has he ripped off this time, but it doesn't matter as long as it is good. The story is flawed at many places but is good enough to keep you hooked up for 2hrs.

The music by Ankit Tiwari and Mithoon is excellent (as always!). Galliyan is the best of the lot. All the songs are aptly paced except this one

But this is an excellent number by an upcoming band called Soch and has Prachi Desai (Hotter than ever), so no one is complaining.

Shraddha Kapoor is OK OK in her peppy avatar which gets onto your nerves at times, but is way better than Arohi ( there is always the fast forward button to your rescue). Siddharth Malhotra too performs well and sheds his chocolate boy image.

But the only reason why you should watch the movie is for the Villain, Ritesh Deshmukh. He is probably the most under-rated Bollywood star who was caught doing stupid sex comedy's. But not in this one. He plays his character to perfection. He has that innocence when he is with his family which makes us feel bad for him, but at the same time he makes us hate him as the perfect villain when he is on his killing spree. He has performed very well in the comedy genre (Especially Apna Sapna Money Money, which still is one of those hatke movies which will make you laugh over and over again. Its a must watch especially if you like slapstick), but this is by far his best performance till date.

This is definitely a one time watch especially for Ritesh who in spite of being the Villain is the true hero of the movie. Lai Bhari!!!

Rating: One time watch (Laptop/PC), Not worth it for the theatre though.

Humshakals ... !!

I know I should not even write a review about this one but I just wanted to see how low can Sajid Khan can stoop after Himmatwala ( The real Himmatwalas are the producers who had immense courage in the greatest director Bollywood has seen, after Shirish Kuner (Joker, that's his film's name , and probably thats what you should call him too!! ). 

They call these movies "No Brainers": i.e " Dimag ghar pe rakh ke ao"  for watching these movies. They should instead name these movies "Dimag walon ne ghar pe raho movies" cause truly the insane alone can sit through the torture for more than two hours . And whats even more surprising that there are that many insane people who actually go ahead and watch these movies and help them enter the so called "100 crore club" (Holiday being the latest entry. Check here the entire list.) We guys surely should not be complaining about the railway fare hike if we can fund such movies. Remember that you are encouraging them to create far more worse disasters in the future.

Coming back to Humshakals (although I would never ever want to go back to it ever again). Its full of stupid PPPPPJs and logic less events that will make you laugh on the IQ of the director and writer of the movie (Credits for both go to Sajid Khan) rather than the actual jokes. If you want a glimpse of his brilliance, here are a few "JOKES" (They dont even deserve to be called jokes. A first standard kid would crack better ones). They will truly make you COL (Cry out Loud)
1. Tamannaah Bhatia aka Shanaya: You are so witty
Saif Ali Khan aka Ashok: You are so Churchgate
  
2. Why is 6 scared of 7?
Because 7-8(ate)-9

3.Ritesh to Saif - Yeh tumhare bas ki baat nahi hai

Saif - Toh kya mere car ki baat hain

4. Riteish to Satish Shah- Hum aapke pair padte hain.

Satish Shah - Mere pair pe kuch likha hi nahi hain toh padoge kya.

6. Saif - I went to write my exam with a broken pencil but couldn't write. Ask me why? Because it was pointless.

And so on and so forth. Trust me guys this review of Humshakals by KRK is far more hilarious than the actual film 

The movie is full of illogical sequences. For example there is a scene where a patient gets revived from coma just by switching wires in the pulse/BP/ECG monitor. Saif speaks Hindi in his boardroom which is surrounded by firangs (Rapidex Hindi course , I guess). There is this MAD (Mind altering drug) which alters the CHROMOSOME structure (within seconds!!!) and makes you behave like a dog (This idea could have come only out of Sajid Khans non-existent brains)!! And he keeps on repeating himself in EVERY film. For eg There has to a huge mansion in England. There has to be a song where the entire cast dances in their night costumes while being chased around by a Papa/Papas assistant/Mental Hospital Warden.

Only Sajid Khan can get inspired by his own movies.

Check this video for further similarities 

Sajid Khans calls it a comedy of errors , I would rather call it a movie full of errors of comedy. Thats precisely why he is trending on twitter : 

Thats what the twitteratis are saying about Humshakals 

My usual advise for a bad movie is not to go in a theaters and waste your hard earned money. For this one , please dont even waste your precious 700mb of net plan on this utterly stupid error of comedy. There are far better things to download on the internet.

P.S. Sajid Khan: Please quit making movies. We will pay you for doing that.
