Dishkiyaoon Official Trailer Out ft. Harman Baweja, Sunny Deol & Ayesha Khanna

Bollywood actress turned producer Shilpa Shetty Kundra is out with her maiden venture ‘Dishkiyaaoon’. The film has B-town’s angry man Sunny Deol in a new revamped avatar, along with model-actor Harman Baweja.

The first power-packed trailer of the film has just released and it does look like a promising one. Harman Baweja, who has not had the best of career in Bollywood, is making a comeback of sorts with ‘Dishkiyaaoon’.

The movie is about the story of two small men who are on their way to make it big in the world of crime. The story revolves around a gangster Viki Kartoos (Harman Baweja) and action man Lakwa (Sunny Deol).

Sunny Deol, who is known for his angry avatars on screen, will surely surprise you with his ‘Harayanvi’ accent. Though from the first promos the movie looks like any other movie of action crime genre but Sunny Deol’a ‘Haryanvi’ avatar can surely be a catch.

‘Dishkiyaaoon’ also stars Aditya Pancholi, Prashant Narayanan and Ayesha Khanna in pivotal roles. The film co-produced by Erod International on March 28.

Singh Saab The Great Movie Review: Sunny Deol Stills In Form

The jodi of actor Sunny Deol and director Anil Sharma is back for a fourth time with Singh Saab The Great and the duo has tried to give the audience an earnest film. Though the story could have been tighter, Sunny paaji’s action avatar makes up for it..

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Director Anil Sharma and Sunny Deol have delivered three hit films together so far – Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, The Hero: Love Story of a Spy and Apne. And we can safely say that they are back with a bang with Singh Saab The Great. The movie is about an honest collector Saranjit Singh Talwar (Sunny Deol) who believes in doing the right thing and does so till he is transferred to Bhadori – a small town in Uttar Pradesh. This is when Bhoodev Singh (Prakash Raj), the baddie in the film, comes into the picture. While Saranjit believes in the power of truth, Bhoodev thinks the ultimate power is money. Like any politician, Bhoodev is corrupt, powerful and does every wrong thing possible. But Saranjit gets in his way each time to make things tough for him. In their fight, it is Saranjit’s wife (Uravashi Rautela) who bears the brunt of the enmity and dies. Things take a turn for the worse when the Bhadori collector is accused of bribery and is jailed. Seven years later Saranjit, with a help of his cop friend manages to get out of jail and changes his identity. Now he is known as Singh Saab, whose motto is not ‘badla’, but ‘badlav’. But does he manage to change society and most importantly, Bhoodev Singh? Watch the film to find out.

What’s good about Singh Saab The Great?

Without a doubt, it has to be Sunny Deol’s performance. Even though he is in his late ‘50s, Sunny still manages to do action sequences amazingly well. His dhai kilo ka haath yet again entertains us…and how! He is one actor who actually makes action stunts look believable. Another highlight of the film is its dialogue. An angry Sunny mouthing dhansoo lines like ‘Bali hamesha bakre ki di jaati hai, sher ki nahi’ is a treat to watch. And though the story could have been more crisp, I enjoyed watching it coz there is different atmosphere when you enter a Sunny Deol film. It’s like watching a cricket match. Every time Mr Deol fights or says a dhamaakedar line, the audience goes crazy and claps and whistles. That’s what made my experience enjoyable. Besides Sunny, Prakash Raj has delivered a solid performance. In fact, he gives worthy takkar to the ultimate action hero. His scenes with Sunny Deol are to watch out for. They make a perfect hero-villain jodi!

Amrita Rao as a journalist does well. Urvashi Rautela has nothing much to do in the film and after a point you forget why she is there at all…and then she is dead. Johny Lever makes you laugh in places.

What’s bad about Singh Saab The Great?

The most important thing: the story. While Anil Sharma’s concept is good, he fails to execute it properly. Also, the love angle between Sunny and Urvashi doesn’t fit into the plot seamlessly. The film gets boring in between, though never when Sunny is in the frame. Apart from the title track sung by Sonu Nigam and his sister Teesha Nigam, none of the other songs are too appealing. There is an item number too, but the only thing which makes that tolerable is Sunny Deol and Prakash Raj’s dancing. It fun to watch them, trust us!

Verdict

Singh Saab The Great is a typical Sunny Deol film and if you are a fan of the actor, you wouldn’t mind watching it. If you want to watch a film with your family that isn’t a remake, is full of action and has plenty of drama, this one is perfect.

PS: It was nice to see so many old people in the theatre. A rare sight these days, considering the kinds of films that are being made, hai na?

Sunny Deol & JP Dutta To Be Back With Border 2 - Latest News!

After a gap of 16 years, director J P Dutta has decided to bring out the sequel of his hit war film Border and actor Sunny Deol is returning for the second movie.

"We are happy to announce that Sunny Deol will be part of starcast. Other names are in the deliberation stage. However, for now Sunny has been roped in for a pivotal role, since he was an integral part of Border," a statement said.

Border, a 1997 film, was based on the real occurrences of the 1971 war.

Though Sunny Deol essayed the role of a Sikh commanding officer in Border, in the sequel, he would not play a Sikh, but would again be seen in a commanding officer's role.

The film will be an adaptation from real life events, the statement said.

Details of the rest of the starcast are under wraps. Border 2 will go on floors by the end of October.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Movie Review: Dharmendra, Sunny Deol & Bobby Deol Entertains!

Can the orangutan act? This particular primate is obviously a trained animal, but it has a hard time trying to keep pace with the human members of the loony cast. 

Need one say more? But since a movie review cannot be just 20 words or thereabouts, here we go. 

Those that have been through the first round of the Yamla Pagla Deewana shock treatment might be forgiven for thinking that it couldn’t get any worse. Think again. The sequel is double the pain. It scrapes the very bottom of the barrel. 

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 is much worse than brain-numbing. The screenplay jumbles up a few songs, some action scenes and a string of vapid comic gags and then dumps it all into a messy mix that makes about as much sense as Garam Dharam’s pow-wows with the mute ape. 

You’ve got to be yamla, pagla or deewana, preferably all three, to grasp what is going on. 

The Deol trio is joined by a bespectacled ape named Einstein in unleashing unbridled bunkum, some of it in a place that is passed off as Varanasi, and then a whole lot more of it in good ol’ Blighty. 

Conman Dharam Singh Dhillon (Dharmendra) and his son Gajodhar Singh Dhillon (Bobby Deol) are up to their old tricks in Varanasi.

Dharam masquerades first as Yamla Baba on the bank of a river and then as a moneybag in a palatial mansion where the butler is supposedly a number cruncher from the London School of Economics. 

Father and son are out to con a wealthy Indian nightclub-owner from London, Sir Yograj Khanna (Annu Kapoor), who has come down to the holy city in search of peace, his daughter, Suman (Neha Sharma), in tow.

The girl is a flighty bimbo who gets into a bitter squabble with Gajodhar over a Salman Khan cutout. But when Gajodhar learns that she is Sir Yograj’s daughter, he woos her in true Dabangg style, singing, dancing and fighting – not in that order – with gay abandon.

The conmen have no clue that Sir Yograj is on the verge of bankruptcy and is struggling to repay a ten million pound-sterling bank loan. 

Dharam’s elder son, Paramveer Singh Dhillon, is a recovery officer with the bank in question and is entrusted with the task of discreetly figuring why a man as moneyed as Sir Yograj is a defaulter. 

Needless to say, Paramveer is a Super Sardar who, all in a day’s work, saves Sir Yograj’s nightclub from being taken over by a crazed builder Joginder Armstrong (Anupam Kher). 

The promoter wants the space and the entire street on which the club stands vacated so that he can build the world’s largest mall, so big that patrons would need mini spaceships to get around. 

When the action shifts to the foreign location, Varanasi is left far behind, but the mindlessness that was on display in the first Yamla Pagla Deewana three years ago remains intact.

The debt-ridden magnate has another daughter, Reet (Kristina Akheeva), who works in an art gallery. Paramveer falls head over heels in love with her but complications arise when Gajodhar, too, starts eyeing her as his engagement with Suman turns out to be a damp squib. 

Parts of Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 are so outrageously silly that they can actually be unintentionally funny. One gag is piled upon another without any concession to logic. 

So there is Kher hamming it up as a greedy land-grabber. Johnny Lever, playing the former’s bumbling henchman, apes Shahrukh Khan’s Don, aided and abetted by a Junglee Billee. In the end, the joke is entirely on the film.

Anupam Kher’s character cracks a corny joke. Nobody around him reacts. So he hollers: “That was a joke. Clap!” His minions applaud. 

Sangeeth Sivan, who steps into the director’s shoes and into a minefield of tedious capers, has no way of seeking similar compliance from the audience.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 runs for 155 minutes and its attempts to pass off lunacy as a humour simply do not have the force to hold such a long film together.

Even Salman Khan, who hangs over the film like a mascot, cannot help. 

However, in absentia, Salman could actually turn out to be this film’s biggest crowd-puller provided the masses can get past the deadly Deols. 

On the acting front, subtlety and refinement are consistently kept at an arm’s length. It is sad to see a septuagenarian Dharmendra chase cheap thrills.

Sunny Deol cannot live down his action-hero persona, while Bobby Deol tries his best to pass off as a dashing lover boy. 

The two girls, too, are forgettable. But why blame them when the film they are in is likely to be relegated to Bollywood’s footnotes as soon as it is out of the theatres, no matter how much it manages to mop up at the box office?

If you adore the Deols, get a move on. Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 is likely to be shown the door at most multiplexes by the time the second week dawns. 

One happy fallout of that would be that even the Deols would need loads of courage to contemplate a third installment. Surely, Dharmendra doesn’t deserve any more of this indignity.

Like all Indian films these days, Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 starts with a disclaimer asserting that no animals were hurt during the shoot. Isn’t the poor orangutan an animal? It must be terribly ‘hurt’ at being treated with such disdain by mankind!
