Grand Masti , What Next ?

Release date – 20'th September 2013

One Word which describes the film – Crass 


Grossest Dialogue  –  The principal of a college named SLUTS pulls down the boxers of a guy called Harddick and says, 
' Isse kehte hai naam bade aur darshan chhote.'    

Genre – Adult Comedy
  
Writer- Milap Zaveri , Tushar Hiranandani

Music – Anand Raj Anand , Sanjeev Darshan

Producer- Ashok Thakeria , Indra Kumar

Budget - 31 crore (Including print and advertising)

By now you all must be knowing that a film criticized and shunned by all and sundry has become the highest grosser among the films with an ‘A’ (Adults only) certificate at the Box Office beating the lifetime record of  'The Dirty Picture(85 crores). 

This has made the producers and directors quote on National TV that the audience is hypocrite , they call a film vulgar and then enjoy it too. 


In an interview the producer Ashok Thakeria said that the magnitude of success of Grand Masti has taken them all aback . ' We are definitely going into Masti 3 right away. The first sequel took us nine years to make. The second sequel will come in much less time and will be far more sexy raunchy and in-your-face. The audience loved our sense of humour. We will give them a lot more of everything.” 

Milap Jhaveri says , The USP of part 3 would be the same as part 2. Mad, naughty, crazy, and risqué humour.”

Indra Kumar said on Zoom that the main reason behind the grand success of the film is that no one till now has made a film on adult jokes . ' I took a collection of jokes from internet and my phone and converted it into visual form. We all are aware of this type of humor and share it everyday with our friends so what's the harm in showing it on the big screen ?'

All these arguments from the makers of the film made me think on what next ? Till what extent will Meet , Amar and Prem go in the 3'rd part to show the plight of married men ?
They  taught us the meaning of A , B, C to F here , will the sequel decode the remaining alphabets too ?

An edited version of Grand Masti has been submitted to the censor board for satellite and television screening. The main point is once they remove the offensive content will the movie last even 30 minutes ?

In a line even though the film has been declared a box office hit surpassing the 100 crores mark , it's just a collection of adult jokes which you must have read and shared a 100 times .

Not to be seen with family or kids . 

Rank- 39 (Out of the 54 films I have seen in 2013)

Besharam - How the Mighty have Fallen.

Release date – 2nd October 2013

One Word which describes the film – Disappointing


Best Dialogue  – ' Ye khoon kharaba apna style nahi ,ye to sirf apna talent batana tha.'



Genre – Comedy /Romance
  
Writer- Abhinav Kashyap, Rajeev Barnwal

Music –Lalit Pandit

Producer- Himanshu Mehra , Sanjeev Gupta

  

Budget - 80 crores (including print and publicity)


When a film has a startcast of Ranbir Kapoor ( whose last films were  Rockstar , Barfi!  &  Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani ) and Rishi Kapoor who gave powerful performances in  D-Day , Aurangzeb and  Shuddh Desi Romance  you start expecting a lot from it. 
What the film actually delivers, is a story taken straight away from old films, poorly written screenplay and dialogues, too many songs and dances, weak characters and a lead pair who share zero chemistry.

Abhinav Kashyap, who made his directorial debut in 2010 through Dabangg has totally antagonized the audience with his second film. The full blame for this nonsense in the name of action/romance /comedy lies on his shoulder as not only he wrote the story he also wasted talented actors like Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh in roles where they had nothing to do.
Ranbeer Kapoor, who is the current heart throb is made to wear cheap clothes, use lame lines and act like a buffoon in most of the film. Even Kashyap's girlfriend and leading lady of the film, Pallavi got no preferential treatment. Though she is a manager who drives a Mercedes she wears Globus kind of clothes( bought during sale period) and has no dialogues or chance to show her acting skills.

The tag line of the film is 'Na samman ka moh , na apman ka bhay'. Sorry Mr Kashyap but this film has nothing for which you will receive a single word of praise or appreciation. 

The film was released in 3600 screens and because of Ranbeer Kapoor's popularity it made an opening day collection of 20 crores. Ranbir Kapoor must have realised  that he made a blunder in choosing to act in this film as he took no interest in promoting the film in Mumbai or any other cities.

In a line, the 3 Kapoors together have given such a 3'rd class film that in future I would rather watch a movie starring the 3 Bachchans (Sarkar Raj) or 3 Deols (Apne) .

Highly Avoidable.
