Review of Bang Bang Full Movie

Review of Bang Bang Full Movie: Is the great Bollywood movie ever I've seen in my life. one of those intelligent, thought-provoking films that Bollywood sometimes surprises us with? No. This is something you discover in the very first scene, where Abu Dhabi is passed off as wait for it London. So sit back, switch off your brain and enjoy the ride. The plot is simple enough: the Kohinoor, a precious Indian diamond that was shipped off to England during Queen Victoria's reign (this is true), has been stolen from the Tower of London. The thief (Hrithik Roshan) is now on the run, taking with him a pretty, young bank receptionist (Katrina Kaif, in her most annoying character yet) who has unwittingly been drawn into the mess. 

But there's more to the crime than meets the eye, including a dead brother, the ISS (the fictitious Internal Security Service) and, at the center of it all, the dashing Danny Denzongpa, who is No 1 on Interpol's most-wanted list. Despite a couple of twists that never quite dovetail, Bang Bang! is fast-paced and great on the eye. It is also is Roshan's film all the way through. Handsome and witty, dangerous and romantic, he manages to get out of the hairiest situations by the skin of his teeth and is only slowed down by the insipid Kaif. In fact, towards the end, when everyone's trying to shoot each other's heads off, you can't help but wish that one of the gazillion bullets flying around will hit her. To everyone who gave this film a bad review: Boo-hoo.

Bang Bang! was marketed as a masala movie - what else did you expect, given the title? and has all the necessary ingredients: great music by Vishal and Shekhar, slick dance sequences, in-your-face action, and several exotic locations, including our very own Abu Dhabi. No Shakespeare remake, this, but you'll get your money's worth. In Hindi, that's called paisa vasool. Here’s a man who looks like a dream, dances like a dream and aces action like he’s the last action hero, but he’s doing all that in the middle of an embarrassingly shoddy narrative.

It’s just unbelievable. And let’s not even talk about the gross injustice to Katrina Kaif. Calling her ‘jaw-droppingly beautiful’ would be an understatement. She’s definitely more beautiful than the exotic locales Bang Bang! was shot in. But that’s about it. Her character lets her down and how. What Hrithik and Katrina can do together has been seen in all its magical glory in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. And what they’re made to do in Bang Bang! simply said, pales in comparison. And is a definite let down for expectations. Not that Bang Bang! isn’t well-made. Its technical craft is top notch. The cinematography, the action choreography, and even production values are all Hollywood level. But the direction is near abysmal. The director needs a crash course in the grammar of filmmaking. Why are you wasting crores of rupees on triteness?

You only had to emulate, heck simulate the original and you’d have had a winner. It was easier than retweeting Katy Perry. Instead, you’ve allowed yourself to make rookie mistakes like inserting conch blow and Indian drum sounds in scenes of dramatic importance. What is this? The costliest Indian soap opera homage ever? Bad execution aside, if you’re going to watch Bang Bang! do so with an open mind. And watch it for the most beautiful couple in b-town Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif. The heavenly panoramas of Himachal Pradesh pale in comparison. That alone should be worth the price of an admission ticket.
