Dilwale Review 

Director: Rohit Shetty

Written By : Yunus Sajawal

Cinematography : Dudley

Music: Amar Mohile

Songs : Pritam Chakraborty

Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon

Our Rating  : 2.75/5

The most awaited ,most hyped movie of 2015 , from the SRk-Kajol-Rohit Shetty combo ends up being an average flick . From Rohit Shetty, films like Chennai Express had come and people were expecting something fresh and new for the SRK-Kajol Chemistry. This time too , the plot is the same and predictable. 

Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) is a mechanic settled in Goa . He has his brother Veer( Varun Dhawan) with him . Veer falls in love with Ishitha( Kriti Sanon) . Ishitha happens to be the sister of Meera (Kajol) . We come to know that Raj and Meera had some unfinished business 15 years back. Raj ,earler a don had fallen in love with Meera. They both belonged to mafia families having conflicts. They both meet in Bulgaria and eventually fall in love. Things do take a turn and the couple drifted apart. Raj gave up his mafia business and after 15 years he runs a garage in Goa and Meera owns a shack there. Will both the love stories end up on a good note ? This forms the rest of the plot. 

Dilwale is made for complete entertainment and only entertainment. It is enjoyable to an extent but is overloaded with cliches. Predictability spoil the show. The film is half entertaining. The chemistry between SRK and Kajol wasn't enough to save this film without a good plot. 
There are some breathtaking shots and action sequences in the film which are thoroughly entertaining. The dangerous car sequences were well shot. 

Performance

Shah Rukh Khan and his looks are the star attractions of the film. He is good looking, energetic and charming in both the avatars. Raj's character was pulled off easily by SRK and he performed exceptionally well. Especially in the action sequences.  Kajol was good in her role after a long five year break. Her different looks and performance were attractive even though we felt some scenes being too artificial.  Varun Dhawan is OK as usual. His acting and comic timing was good. He did exceptionally well in Badlapur.  Kriti Sanon doesn't have much to do in the film. Still she did her part neatly. Sanjay Mishra's acting was brilliant. Rest of the cast were good in their roles.


 Music

Janam Janam and Gerua do stand out among the songs.  

Script and Direction

The script is the major drawback of the film and has many flaws and loopholes. It heavily leans on the mega stardom of the King Khan.  Rohit Shetty is not successful in capturing romance between the epic SRK-Kajol combo. Rohit Shetty had earlier worked with cliches , but in films like Chennai Express and Singham returns, he added something to worth it watch twice.  Direction is good though. The weak plot and the cliche overloaded screenplay limits the director to create an interesting drama. 

Verdict : An Average Passable Film . Watch it if you are a huge fan of SRK.  Good For One Time Watch. 

Rating : 2.75/5

Salala Mobiles is Okay For One-Time Watch

Director:- Sharath A Haridasan

Cinematography:-Satheesh Kurup

Music:- Gopi Sundar

Starring :- Dulquer,Nazriya....

Rating:- 2.5/5 Watchable

Walking out of the theatre , I thought about the film & I couldn't find anything that interesting in Salala Mobiles. Yes , Salala Mobiles is a usual film that doesn't have anything to offer or express.

Afzal (Dulquer Salman) a lazy guy who roams about jobless after his studies. His mother Sifa (Gita) asks her brother Salaludheen to advice Afzal and he arranges fund for Afzal for starting a Mobile showroom. Azal & his friend Binoy (Jacob Gregory )begins their business. They named the shop 'Salala Mobiles'. Shahana (Nazriya) is their frequent customer & she visits their shop to get her mobile recharged. Afzal falls in love with shahana at the very first sight but he doesn't express it due to his fear.Things take a turn when Afzal meets Alagar Saamy(Santhanam) a young programmer and software developer on their trip to Coimbatore to obtain mobiles at wholesale rate. He gifts them , a mobile call tapping software. Afzal & Binoy starts using the software for fun & they begin to tap the call of their customers. The local people informs the police about the call tapping. Will the police trace them? Will Afzal be able to express his love? . All these form the rest of the plot.

Salala Mobiles is just a usual rich-poor love story which is watchable. Even though it was promoted as a romantic comedy entertainer, it doesn't offer those much. The first half is watchable but the second half is a little let down and the people may feel unsatisfied with the climax.

Performance

Dulquer was good in his role as a lazy innocent teenager. Nazriya is good at her expressions but she got sidelined in the film. She didn't have anything great to do.Jacob Gregory was good as Binoy as he was able to produce some laughter. Santhanam was good but he deserved a better Debut.Rest of the cast have done justice to their roles.

Music

Music by Gopi Sundar is good throughout the BGM portion but the songs are just average.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography By Satheesh Kurup was fine though it had nothing much to offer.

Screenplay & Direction 

The script by the director himself doesn't have anything much to offer. The jaded script is one of the negatives of this movie.

Verdict:- All together Salala Mobiles Is Just an Average film..Good for One- Time Watch...

Rating : - 2.5/5

Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal- An Average Feel Good Movie 

Director: Lal Jose

Cinematography:- Pradeesh

Starring:- Dileep,Rima..

Script:- James Albert

Our Rating:- 2.75/5

                                                                                               Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal is quite different from usual Dileep Flicks. That's what I felt after watching the movie. Actually 7 Sundara Rathrikal is a feel good movie from LalJose-Dileep combo. This is the 7th movie from this combo.

Aby (Dileep) is an ad film maker. He decides to marry Ann(Parvathy Nambiar) . He takes this decision finally after delaying it for 7 years thinking about his failed romance.He comes to know from his childhood friend Abid(Harisree Ashokan) that his ex-girlfriend Sini(Rima Kallingal) is living at the same place.Abi goes to Sini's house to invite her for his wedding. Sini is now married to boxer Alex (Murali Gopi) . Aby forgets a cigarette pack at her house which causes a lot of problems. Within 7 days before his marriage , can Aby solve this problem ? This forms the rest of the plot.

Ezhu sundara Rathrikal starts as a romantic comedy , turns into suspense drama genre and then it ends up without all those great impressions. It is entertaining in the firs half which contains elements of suspence,comedy & drama. But in the later half when the details are revealed, it loses control. The problem is due to the half baked script.

Performance

Dileep is the main attraction of the film. His timely comedy & expression are good. Rima & debutant Parvathi has done a neat job.Murali Gopi gives out a fine performance.

Technical Aspects

Cinematographer Pradeesh Varma's camera job is excellent.

Music

Music by Prashant Pillai is good & the two songs in the film are good. The BGM is also excellent. It dwells with the mood & need of the film.

Script

 Script by James Albert isn't a perfect one. It contains lot of loopholes. It is the half baked script that makes the film a bit down. His dialogues were good.

Direction

Lal Jose's Direction is what makes the film entertaining. Once again he takes an average script to a watchable flick.

Verdict :- It's A feel good movie. Different from Dileeps' earlier flicks.

Rating: 2.75/5
