All You Need to Know

I.M.C.F Review
Coming as a sequel, this film doesnt share much of a connection with its Prequel. Then, i dont understand why did Rohit shetty remove Kajal and has cast Kareena for such a small role! Then there is a fight sequence in a street, filled with Thugs and Ajay Devgan seemed like he was playing a 'Delta Force' game with easy difficulty, where no bullet reaches him, but he kills them all! Other action sequences depicted Rohit's style.

Well, other than that, this film is good. Right from the first scene, the story runs at a full speed. With a light entertainment, lots of sentiment and action every once in a while, this film is quite promising. Dialogues are very powerful and gripping. Story is just fine, but the direction of Rohit gave it the required life.

This film mainly runs on Dialogues and Screenplay. The factors like Politics, Sentiment, Comedy, Songs, Love and all seem just like add-on's to the script. Ajay Devgan did well as a powerful cop and Singham, to which, he seems to be suited. Kareena has been simple and cute. Every single cast did very well. Rohit could prove himself as an entertainer yet again, but this time not with his comic sense, but by his powerful plot.

Singham, as we all know is a powerful cop, this time is in Mumbai. Just as he is doing his duties, his favorite head constable Mahesh gets killed in an ambulance with 10Crore rupees. While trying to solve the case, an attack happens and Guruji (Anupam Kher) gets killed, while trying to save Singham. This forces Singham to get into an undercover operation to find out who the culprits are, behind all this. Along with this lies an underlying simple love story and a big political drama around black money and racketeering in elections and politics. The rest of the film is how does Singham gets justice to Guruji; wipe out the misconceptions on Mahesh and Police department; prevent the wrong people to win the elections and gain the throne!

I.M.C.F Rating : 84/100
Direction : 9 : Known as an entertainer, Rohit doesnt fail us with this film as well.
Production Values : 8 : Could spend as much as needed, but somehow still seemed low.
Story/Plot : 8 : A powerful cop story, who tries to balance the justice and injustice.
Cast Performances : 9 : Every character, especially the ones with smaller roles did very well.
Music : 7 : BGM is too good. But its the same as prequel. The music specially made to this film is simple.
Cinematography : 8 : Just normal.
Editing/Screenplay : 8 : As mentioned, Screenplay if some good stregth to this film.
Choreography/Action Sequences : 8 : Choreography doesnt actually exist, but action sequences were in Rohit's filmy style.
Dialogues : 10 : The one thing that might keep you tied to the film is dialogues. They are the soul of this film.
Awe Moment(s) : 9 : When Kareena slaps the Politician on Stage; Singham's police march and Emotional scenes.

Singham Returns isn't as much fun as Singham.
The sequel to ‘Singham’ is chock-full of the usual car-on-jeep action. Explosions go off at regular intervals.
Watch it for its action which fits in well with Ajay Devgn’s hard-hitting persona.

All You Need to Know

I.M.C.F Review
As Writers for almost every Rohit Shetty's film, Sajid-Farhad have immense experience with films, but not with the Directorial skills. For their debut film, they choose such a script which hardly makes any sense but doesnt fail to entertain! The wacky one-liners by Akshay Kumar and filmy-reel by Abhishek have been very funny. Tamannah has got a few scenes and she doesnt disappoint with her cute and bubbly performance. Sonu sood and Prakash raj's combination as Karan-Arjun is hilarious!

The plot, if exists, is very simple. Akhil's (Akshay) father is a rich businessman in Bangkok, while Akhil is suffering a poor life in India, unknown of his fathers identity. On learning about his father and his death, he goes to Bangkok to claim his rightful place, but his father has already named his Dog, Entertainment, as the sole owner by then. So, Akhil tries to get rid of the dog and claim his dad's money. Karan-Arjun (Sonu sood and Prakash raj) who are the second cousins of Akhil's dad are also in the same trials. Even before Akhil could takeover, Karan-Arjun play their game and grab the hold. So, the rest of the film is, how Akhil and Entertainment along with his friends, take back what is rightfully theirs from karan-Arjun.

A dog being an owner of certain many companies worth 3000crore rupees doesnt make any sense at all, along with a few such scenes more. But the sentiment part is fine and maybe understood only by a dog lover! Action sequences showed the mark of Rohit Shetty. Comedy was well timed and handled so well that this film might just be another milestone is Akshay's Comic career!

I.M.C.F Rating : 81/100
Direction : 8 : For a debut film, they pass. Apart from some logics, ther arent any flaws.
Production Values : 8 : Well made film in a Giant Mansion and beautiful backgrounds of Bangkok.
Story/Plot : 7 : Pretty logic less, but sole purpose being entertainment, they win.
Cast Performances : 8 : Action hero and super villains in comic roles, gave their maximum. Support cast has been very good.
Music : 9 : Music is enjoyable.
Cinematography : 8
Editing/Screenplay : 8 : Screenplay is not exciting and mostly predictable, but is fine.
Choreography : 8 : Lacks signature moves, but every song has come out well.
Dialogues : 10 : One-liners have been superb fun.
Awe Moment(s) : 7 : When Entertainment saves Akhil twice and Akhil saves Entertainment.

Akshay's film is mind-numbingly idiotic, full of terrible cliches.
Simple lighthearted comedy, total paisa vasool.
It is Akshay's funniest film since Hera Pheri.

I.M.C.F Review
Story of a person, who craves for 'Kick' in every single thing he does, right from the time he was born but is unable to find ultimate Kick, which would satisfy him for life! Another remake from a Tollywood Blockbuster for Salman Khan. As a praiser of the original version which was an entertainment package, i found this new version very dull.

But to talk only about this one, I would say, It's a well made film. Salman Khan did extremely well in his bold role of Devil and Devi lal too. Jacqueline has been routine and Randeep has earned yet another decent character, to which he gave life! Cinematography and Screenplay will keep you tied, though they seem to lack the pace it needed.

Lots of money seemed to be spent in the chase scenes, which maybe, could have been reduced upto some extent. Some more scenes should have been kept between Salman and Jacqueline, before they actually fall in love with each other. Music is too good and especially 'Hangover' song is too soothing! For a first timer, this film might just deliver the 'Kick' he would expect!

I.M.C.F Rating : 83/100
Direction : 8 : Could handle every element of the film competently.
Production Values : 9 : Seems to have spent, more than needed.
Story/Plot : 9 : Its a top-notch script. I would modestly give all the credit to Vamsi, than to Chetan Bhagat.
Cast Performances : 8 : Salman and Nawazuddin competed, while others did well.
Music : 9 : Music is a definite blockbuster!
Cinematography : 9
Editing/Screenplay : 8 : Pace of the film is fine. Not slow, but not fast either.
Choreography : 8 : Doesnt have any sigature moves for Salman Khan, but were fine.
Dialogues : 7 : Not so special, just apt for the film.
Awe Moment(s) : 8 : Salman khan getting his ultimate kick from childs smile; Salman as Devil and Climax.

For Salman Khan fans, it's a great show but for others it's going to be an average affair.
Salman Khan's Kick has much more going for it than just his charisma.
