De Dana Dan

The great entertainers are back thats the tagline but trust me it does anything but entertaining....
Story wise well if one insists about it,the gist of it, at least in the first act, tells of two men Nitin (Akshay Kumar) and Ram (Suneil Shetty) who are both drowned by their debts and stuck in jobs with no prospects. Their respective girlfriends Anjani (Katrina Kaif) and Manpreet (Sameera Reddy) happen to be from wealthy backgrounds, and their parents see it as material benefit should they be wedding other well to do folks and starts the introduction of mishmash of 27 lunatic characters in the movie..

Both men now become desperate in not wanting to lose their lady love, and crack up the most insane of plots involving kidnapping, which soon spiralled out of control to involve an Indian ambassador, their girlfriends parents, a sneaky hotel employee, a bumbling hit-man, a mafia Don, a corrupt practices police inspector (though his rank is only that of sergeant), a mistress, and plenty of mistaken identities to make everyone beat around the bush in the most absurd manner, leaving you the audience having to open your eyes and ears to link everyone's relationship, motivation and intentions, both real, perceived and deliberately under deceit.

The last scene too fell prey to the largest bugbear of the movie, and that's where scenes were dragged out longer than its welcome not that other sequences in the movie were welcome but the end takes the cake it became unbearable to say the least..

Hoping Priyadarshan's comedy would be a laugh riot but honestly it was nowhere close to even satisfactory...Avoid it...

A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol - An animated retelling of Charles Dickens classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions.Well the story is timeless and this movie does a good job of telling it.The animated visual effects are amazing.The story is timeless.
