Sunday Hindi Movie Review

Sunday- review
Cast: Ajay devgan , Ayesha Takia, Arshad Warsi, Irfan Khan, Mukesh tiwari
Director: Rohit Shetty
Producer: Kumar Mangat and Sunil Lulla.
Music: Sandeep chowta, Daler Mehndi.

Sunday is a pure carbon copy of Telugu Movie Anukokunda Oka Roju (2005), with a tinge of Bollywood Masala added to it, to perfectly fit into the Bollywood movies genre.

A lady is murdered at the very outset and the pieces of the confusing puzzle are fixed in an interesting and stylish way. Sunday has a quality of suspecting all the characters of the film as murder suspects and this has been done is a well carved way.

To sum up, Sunday strikes the right balance between the tow diverse genres of suspense and comedy. It’s a film that holds appeal more the regular film audience, but is a strict no for the hard nosed critics who will definitely feel that this film is not realistic.

Story Sehar’s (Ayesha Takia) world turns topsy turvy when she gets a clue about the missing Sunday of her life, which points to a possible violent attack on her. ACP Rajveer (Ajay Devgan) takes the case to trace out the complicated and tangled threads of Sehar’s life.

In the process of solving Sehar’s case, it comes to light that on Sunday, different people interacted with her and one amongst them could be the accused. The different people include Ballu(Arshad Warsi),the taxi driver and his friend Kumar(Irfan), A struggling Actor, Ritu (Anjana Sukhanil), Sehar’s close friend , a scary and suspicious character(Murli Sharma), who resides in Sehar’s Society and the group whom she has come across while partying at the Discotheque.

Rajveer is convinced that Sehar is innocent, but he is also equally sure that she is linked to everything. Is Sehar really innocent as she claims to be is the supense which ,must bee seen on the silver screen?

Even though the two genres Suspense and Comedy move concurrently, the suspense element isn’t too heavy on the minds nor do the comic portions seem to be too much shadowed, but come out well at the end.

Performances

Ajay Devgan who is known for some serious stuffed roles shows a flair for comic moments and gets right. Though his comedy is not upto the mark of film Golmaal , but is accordingly with the character of an ACP. Sunday will surely multiply his fan following since the actor is deviating from the path of a serious actor to an actor with a humor touch.

Arsda Warsi is in terrific form in career, his acting is well applaudable and he has given his 100 percent to his character.

Irfan khan also had a good scope fro flawless acting in his short character and he lived up to the expectations of the director.

Ayesha takia has done her role with ease. She lives that character rather than just acting and she must be praised for her impeccable innocent performance through out the movie.

Anjana sukhani does her role well and is also supported by Murli sharma, Vrajesh Hirjee and Ali asgar who add up the characters in the movie.

On the whole, Sunday is a well made entertainer that has the potential to click with the movie goers. It also has the advantage of having open weeks ahead, with no major competition till February 15th. The songs, screen play and the story add up to the success of the movie.

So, do watch SUNDAY this Sunday guys!

My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves Review

Film: My name is Anthony Gonsalves Banner: E.Nivas productions,
Red chillies entertainment, Sahara one motion pictures.
Cast: Nikhil Dwivedi, Amrita rao, santosh and other.
Direction : E Niwas
Muisc : Pritam Chakravarthy

In the 1970s, the foot-tapping number from Amar Akbar Anthony, 'My Name is Anthony Gonsalves', proved a chartbuster and despite innumerable songs invading the Hindi screen in the intervening period, the song still lingers. My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves uses the words of the popular track, but will the movie be as well-remembered as the song in question? Now, that's a tough one!

Looking at the promos of E. Niwas' new outing, My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves, it's difficult to comprehend the genre of the film. That's precisely why you wait for the reels to unfold, to understand what this boy-next-door called Anthony Gonsalves would be up to.

The sad part is My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves appeals in bits and spurts. An ordinary idea seems to be stretched beyond a point and that's one of the reasons why My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves lacks the fizz.

Another aspect that goes against the film is that the first hour lacks the power to keep you hooked. There's no movement in the story, frankly. Yet, it must be said that E. Niwas' execution of the subject, in the second hour mainly, camouflages the defects. A few portions are extremely well-handled, especially those when the gangsters get to know that Anthony is going to spill the beans.

Overall, a disappointing fare! An ordinary guy, Anthony Gonsalves (Nikhil Dwivedi), who works as a bartender in Jimmy's Pub in Bandra, Mumbai, has an extra-ordinary dream, a dream is to become an actor.

Sikander (Pawan Malhotra), Maqsood (Mukesh Tiwari) and Riyaaz (Dayashanker Pandey) are gangsters and the pub is a legitimate front for their illegal activities. Sikander is Anthony's benevolent benefactor and protector. One fine day, Anthony inadvertently witnesses a crime committed by the gang. Enters Inspector Khan (Jawed Sheikh), an honest, conscientious officer, investigating the murder of a dead colleague. Khan gets to know about Anthony being a witness to the crime.

Khan starts pursuing Anthony and the gang with dogged determination. Anthony has to choose between Sikander on one hand, and his dream to become an actor, on the other. Clearly, the fault lies in the writing. As mentioned at the outset, there's hardly any movement in the story in the first hour. Once the characters are established, instead of taking the story forward, it just stagnates. In fact, things start moving only at the intermission period. The second half holds a lot of promise and the wheels start moving at this stage, but the climax, again, is outright predictable, straight out of the 1970s.

Director E. Niwas is bogged down by a patchy script, which vacillates from interesting to boring. The writing (Mayur Puri, Lajan Joseph) is the culprit here. Dialogues are well-penned at times. Cinematography is strictly okay.

Nikhil Dwivedi suits the character and handles his part confidently. He has the trappings of a fine actor; his expressions are perfect at most times. But he needs to improve his dialogue delivery and work on his voice. Amrita Rao looks gorgeous, but her role isn't substantial enough. Mithun Chakraborty is alright. Anupam Kher is excellent. Pawan Malhotra is superb.

Mukesh Tiwari and Dayashanker Pandey are first-rate as well. Lillete Dubey is wasted in a role that any other actor could've enacted. D. Santosh is competent.

On the whole, My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves is dull fare. At the box office, it's a tough journey ahead for this film!
