Story & Screenplay- Rajat Aroraa

Director: Milan Luthria

Budget:  60 Crores

Best Dialogue: “Wo ishq hi kya jo salaamat chhod de”

In June, the first teaser of Baadshaho was released which said that 2017 was going to be the year of the 'Bad’. The teaser was full of stunning visuals, drama and punchlines like “Chaar din ki zindagi hai aur aaj chautha din hai ye soch ke itne saal nikal diye” and "Sharam aur Mai to ek sentence Mai nahi ate hai Madam".

The songs, “Mere Rashke Qamar” and “Piya More” became instant hits on their release.

Baadshaho is completely shot in Rajasthan and is a fast paced, action packed entertainer.

Ileana D'Cruz plays the role of Rani Gitanjali and the full story revolves around her. During emergency the gold hidden by her in her palace is confiscated and is being transported to Delhi by road. How she stops the gold from falling into wrong hands makes the plot of the film.

Ajay Devgan as Bhawani brings back the charm of the larger than life hero. He entertains the audiences with his soulful eyes and powerful dialogues.

Emraan Hashmi makes his entry as a 'rangeen’ character with the famous 'Piya More’ song featuring Sunny Leone. His scenes with Esha Gupta and Sanjay Mishra keep the audience entertained throughout the film.

Sanjay Mishra as Guruji is the big surprise package of the film. Everytime he says a line the audience whistles and claps.

Vidyut Jamwal as Officer Samar Singh is shrewd and dangerous. He’s a man on a mission and his sincerity woos the audience.

Esha Gupta aptly dressed in clothes which were in fashion in the 70s adds to the glamour quotient.

There is more to these characters then what meets the eyes and they have their own hidden agendas.

In a turn of events Emraan Hashmi tells a puzzled Esha, “Dosti pakki hai, Khatra apna apna”.

With interesting episodes unfolding one after another, the film keeps us glued to our seats till the end.

The film was released in 2800 screens and has earned almost 28 Crores in 2 days. It's a single screen entertainer and is getting appreciated by the masses.

In a line, the film is fast paced, high octane action film with powerful/comic dialogues which make you smile even during tense episodes.

Paisa-wasool. Good one time watch.

One Night Stand~ It's not about Sunny Days or Nights!

Release date- 6th May 2016

One Word which describes the film- Unrefined

Genre- Drama

Music- Jeet Gannguli, Meet Bros, Tony Kakkar, Vivek Kar

Producer- Pradeep Sharma, Furquan Khan

Story-Bhavani Iyer

Direction-Jasmine Moses D'souza

Cast- Sunny Leone, Tanuj Virwani, Nyra Banerjee

Budget- 15 Crores approximately

Sunny Leone is one of the most searched Bollywood celebrity on the internet for obvious reasons. This film was also promoted as an erotic thriller with hot posters of Sunny Leone along with quotes to justify one night stands. The story is actually about how the life of a man changes after he starts thinking about a female with whom he had a one night stand. 

Sunny Leone has acted naturally in erotic scenes and item numbers but when she has to give other expressions she totally fails to deliver. Even her dialogue delivery leaves much scope for improvement. 
Tanuj Virwani has worked hard on his body and physique which shows every time he takes off his shirt. Despite what the promos say, he is the one who has exposed the most in the film. In scenes where he has to sulk, with his unkempt hair he looks like a thinner version of Arjun Kapoor. He has given a decent performance but with three straight flops in a row, he has to choose films with better content, if he wants to make a place for himself in the industry.
Nyra Banerjee, who has worked in three Kannada films, makes her Bollywood debut with this film. Though her role is as significant as the other two actors, she was not a part of any posters or promotional events. In the film there is a romantic number 'Ijazat' picturised on her and Tanuj but in promos even that song has clippings of Sunny Leone. She has worn skimpy clothes and looks attractive but in comparison to Sunny, she's like a candle in the wind.
There are two item songs, 'Ishq da Sutta' and 'Do peg maar aur bhool ja', where Sunny Leone gets ample opportunity to titillate the audience in bare minimum costumes.
The main problem of the film lies in it's story and screenplay. The film starts on the beautiful beaches of Phuket with flowing champagne and everyone content on having a good time. After interval all the characters appear to be hit by some tragedy and the total environment becomes tensed and gloomy.
Then randomly with just few dialogues the film ends without giving any insight on what happened to the characters. There is no continuity in the scenes and it looks like several scenes were randomly shot and then added together to increase the film's length.The writer, Bhavani Iyer has co-written screenplays of critically acclaimed films like Black (2005), Guzaarish (2010) and Lootera(2013) and maybe she wanted to write a film for Sunny where she can do more than just show her skin.
The release of the film was postponed many times but guess releasing it along with 'Captain America 3 -Civil War', was not a wise decision.The film collected less than 3 Crores over the weekend and may not even recover it's budget.
In a line, in an attempt to present the audience a cocktail of sleaze and substance, the makers couldn't do justice to either.
Avoidable. Highlights of the film can be seen in the song 'Le Chala' on You Tube which got more than 2 million views within a week of it's release.

Review of Ek Paheli Leela - Director's Cut

One Word which describes the film - Soft-porn

Worst Dialogue - "Glamour industry main success ka short cut -short skirt." 

Genre - Musical/ Thriller 

Music -Amaal Mallik, Meet Bros Anjjan

Producer - Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ahmed Khan, Shaira Khan

Story & Direction -Bobby Khan

Cast -Sunny Leone, Jay Bhanushali, Rajneesh Duggal, Rahul Dev, Mohit Ahlawat, Rahul Dev, Jas Arora

Budget- 15-20 crores (approximately)

While the world and his wife are busy criticising Leela and Sunny Leone, very few people noticed that in just  a week the film has managed to collect more money than Anushka Sharma starrer NH10 or Sushant Singh Rajput's Detective Byomkesh Bakshy.

If Sunny Leone was the trump card behind the film's success then her earlier films Jism2 and Jackpot too should have minted money for the producers.

Now let's look at Bobby Khan who makes his directorial debut with this film. Since the age of 19, Bobby Khan is producing & choreographing fashion shows with top Indian and international supermodels. He has directed many music videos and most of them have topped the charts.

Sunny Leone plays the double role of Meera (supermodel from Milan) and Leela. The film has 4 item songs where the lead actress dresses in bare minimums and makes love to the camera. Then there are four other melodious songs where Sunny gets to show her beauty and  milk and honey skin.

Sunny Leone is not known for her dancing so Bobby gave this task to his brother Ahmad Khan and Saroj Khan who managed to get a decent performance from her.

With 35 minutes of the film safely covered, the director writes a reincarnation story spanning 300 years and takes us from the streets of London to the deserts of Jodhpur.

There are huge sets where the film is shot and no expenses are spared in creating exotic looks for Sunny while shooting the item songs.  

Sunny is the object of desire of all the male actors in the film and so she gets the maximum focus and screen space.The problem starts once she starts delivering dialogues. Sunny trying to say dialogues in Rajasthani is like Sonia Gandhi giving speech in Hindi.

Jay Bhanushali bears the same tormented expressions throughout the film.

Mohit Ahlawat was described as the next superstar when he made his debut in 2005 through James. After 10 years he has lost most of the star quality and looks old. His face lacks expressions and then he gets to utter stupid dialogues like 'Ranveer Singh par chali har goli apna rasta khud hi bhatak jati hai.'

Rahul Dev manages to give a fairly decent performance.

Rajneesh Duggal has a small role where he has to romance Sunny and dance with her. He looks good but like others remains expressionless throughout the film.   

Jas Arora has got the worst treatment in the film. Everything from his hairstyle to his clothes are cheap and somehow his voice is dubbed to make him sound like Gulshan Grover.

VJ Andy and Ehsaan Qureshi have small roles where mostly they are uttering suggestive double meaning dialogues to each other.

In a line if you like to watch beauty and you have nothing better to do then you can watch this extended scenic musical album.

Timepass.
