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

Jilla - A Mass Masala Entertainer

        Director:- R T Neason

        Cinematography:- Ganesh Rajavelu

        Music:- D Imman

        Starring:- Mohanlal,Vijay....

        Our Rating: 3/5 Watchable Entertainer

When I walked out of the theatre with the audience , I could find them shouting and yelling because of joy. Yes..Jilla is a colorful entertainer. It has all the elements that we expect from such a typical Vijay starrer Tamil Movie.

Jilla begins with Mohanlal’s classy introduction and a small flashback. Sivan(Mohanlal) is a local Don in Madurai who is feared by the people. Sivan brings up Sakthi(Vijay) , son of Sivan’s driver who was killed by a policeman. Mohanlal brings him up as his own child. Sakthi has hatred toward the police. Sivan & Sakthi  are too strong but circumstances for Sivan to ask Sakthi to become a cop. But when Sivan becomes responsible for an accident which resulted in the death of several innocents in Madurai, Sakthi asks Sivan to give up these things. The old Don is not ready to accept this and they start opposing each other.

The conflict between Sivan & Sakthi is what power up the film. Sakthi wants his father to change but the father is not ready for.Dialogues are too punchy.The film works mainly due to Mohanlal-Vijay combo scenes and the energetic mass song  “Sivanum sakthiyum Sernda Mass Da “ in which the duo dances is electrifying. Kajjal Agarwal has nothing much to do in Jilla.

Both the stars have equal screen space. Mohanlal took over the show in the first half & Vijay in the second half. The problem with Jilla is  that it’s too lengthy. For a Mass Masala Entertainer , a 3 hrs duration is a bit lengthy. The first half is interesting beautiful songs and sequences where as the second half lags a bit.

Summing up ..Jilla is a colorful power package which has all the features of a typical mass film.

Performance

Vijay renders enough support In his character. Mohanlal as usual gives a brilliant performance in his new looks & style. All other characters do fit to their roles respectively. Vijay-Kajjal- Soori combination brings out laughter.

Music

D Imman’s tracks were good. Veresa Pogayile is interesting & Kandangi was beautifully shot in Japan.

Direction & Screenplay

Direction from Neason was good. The screenplay is  a bit lengthy even though it engages the viewer. There are too many punchy dialogues in Jilla.

Verdict:- Jilla is a Mass Masala Entertainer For This Festive Season…..A Watchable Movie

Rating:- 3/5

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
