Force 2: Actions, Stunts and Entertainment.

Hello Friends, I am back with my posts on movie review. The recent movie I watched is Abinay Deo directed Force 2. Nobody but its trailer and its theme forced me watch the combined force of John and Sonakshi against the baby villain Tahir. The movie is dedicated to RAW agents who sacrificed their lives knowing no border and no limits to their jurisdiction, but whose sacrifice remains unacknowledged. 

Well, the movie is a complete action pack, John playing a Mumbai based-cop and Sonakshi a RAW agent. Right from the beginning, the movie keeps the audience thrilled and bound to postpone the nature's call. 
Also the audience was waiting for the stunts of John like lifting a Mercedes E 240 (might be John wanted to be sure whether his gym exercises are worth it).

Reasons to watch Force:

Well the reason is not just one. First, Indian audience expects three things from a typical Indian movie- entertainment, entertainment and entertainment (3Es). But this movie is more than 3Es. 

Secondly, the fact shown about service of covert agents of a secret services agency are true to the extent of the clause of plausible deniability of field agents of RAW is concerned. 

One can enjoy the movie without any yawning moments. Stunts were great, though I would not be surprised if it comes that some of them were Hollywood inspired. Even Tahir Raj Bhasin was good in his part.

Lastly, the backbone of an action-thriller is reason for revenge and Force 2 does not lack in that.

Flaws I analysed:

First things first, Sonakshi as a RAW agent was like Trump for President-ship of USA. I mean how can a RAW agent easily jump to the conclusion that one is mole without applying his (here her) mind. John and Sonakshi working together were like a Mumbai based cop surpasses an RAW agent.

Some of the facts shown about working of RAW undermine such agency. 

Stunts shown are entertaining but sometimes these are excess. One such stunt being the grabbing the Mercedes from back.

Those who want just entertainment, they must watch it in the multiplexes. But those who think this movie to be at par with Baby (2015) and Madras Cafe (2013), they are mistaken. This is the movie that tries to prove that John is James Bond in the making.

But the song Rang Laal which comes at the end of the movie gives it a perfect ending. This song is made for a complete Indian patriot. 

Notable Role (5/1000): John Abraham (Jism)

I saw the movie Jism, after over 5 years of its release. I appreciate the direction and the music as well. But above all, I was inspired by the performance of John Abraham (playing the role of an alcoholic lawyer- Kabir), who lives a playboy lifestyle. 

No doubt, it was his first movie, yet he performed his share best in this movie. Specially his style of smoking and lighting the cigarette, that probably inspired youth to adopt smoking as a style statement. 

I suggest you to go watch the video of the songs Aawarapan Banjarapan and Shikaayat Hai to notice his in-depth performance (notably, the scene in which he feels guilty of committing a murder and cries below the shower of his bathroom).

Shikaayat Hai song.

Madras Cafe: Movie of the year

It was the year 2004, when I was impressed with the performance of Kabir (John Abraham) in the movie Dhoom. Again it was the year 2006, when I was impressed the role of John Abraham in the copyright-infringing flick Zinda.

But his recent performance in the movie Madras Cafe proves his worth and the worth of his production house. In my opinion, this movie deserved a nomination from India for Academy Awards (Oscar). Failing such nomination, I think India has lost its hope of winning accolades at Oscar. It was one of the best movie on the diplomatic realities and the role of RAW.

Also, I can't forget the song Maula Sun Le Re, one of best songs of the year.
