TASHAN

I wanted to watch this movie as a time pass and more over after reading the bad reviews I wanted to check out how bad it can be. But I must say that this film is not even worth as a time pass or a check-out. When a whole bunch of people say its bad...TRUST THEM! The movies starts of well but then you see Saif for the first time on screen and the movie starts to end even before it has begun.


When we see a Yash Raj film ad on TV, we expect to see good films and above all good stories that have everything in it. But lately that has changed. Yash Raj has started to depend more on star cast and style rather than the story line. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Tararumpum, Aaja Nachle and now Tashan. What ahs gotten into the Yash group only God can tell. Every single hype created for this film has turned only to disaster.


A few questions that bugged me through out the film:



  1. where is the story?

  2. why is the music below expectations?

  3. why wasnt Akshay given more attention in promos?

  4. where is the chemistry between the new "Hot Couple"?

  5. where is the expected screenplay?

  6. why is there the unwanted action?

  7. why can't 1000 people kill three people?

  8. how on earth can u get a speed boat in a nala (sewer)?

Akshay certainly stood out more than the others. He was by far the best thing that could happen to Tashan. Saif seemed like an object that was there for no reason. Kareena seemed to be in the film ONLY to show her size 0 look. Anil acted very well as the "English" speaking don.


There are some good point in the film but then over all it falls on the negative. The story could be MUCH stronger. With the actors Yash Raj had in hand, and the versatility of all the actors, the storyline could have done better.


A good try to copy film styles from the 70's but am sure if it was released in the 70's it would still be a flop. All in all if you want to watch a film, then you can watch a film from the 70's rather than watching Tashan.


But if you still want to watch it, then go ahead.
