Just watched Department.It was a typical RGV movie minus the soul of Satya minus the entertainment factor of Company minus the class of Sarkar (only Part 1,others were forgettable).
RGV is known for launching new faces.Rana Daggubati is not knew to bollywood but lanched in a new role all together.RGV could not take the best out of Rana Garu at all.In fact Rana was much better in Dum Maaro Dum even though he had a limited scope.
Department is a totally ghisa-pita movie written by RGV prodigy Nilesh Girkar.When Ramu once said he can make 20 more underworld movies,i would ask him to consider it,if he is saying that based on writing skills of Mr.Girkar.
Lets not gang-bang Girkars saheb's predictable story line here,the cast wasn't too impressive either.Big B seems like wasted in this movie.Big B should always be portrayed as a classy criminal like Sarkar.Sarjerao gaikwad(Amitabh's character) is neither a classy gansgter nor a classy politician.RGV could have used him better.Sanjay Dutt is a torture on big screen.He is too ugly and he cannot act in spite of being in the industry for 30+ years.he has the same dialogue delivery and body language ,no matter is he is doing a role of a gangster or a policeman.First of all he doesnt fit the image of a law enforcer (it has nothing to do with his crime record in real life).He should stick to Munnabhai franchise for ever.He will always be a wannabe Stallone who himself is facing difficult time.Remember Kambakht Isshq?????????
My main focus was on two people,Sanjubaba and Big B.One who is aging gracefully and still ruling the bollywood while other is losing it and still being pushed and favoured by some producers who i think have suicidal tendencies.Agneepath was all about Rishi Kapoor who belittled a character like Kancha Cheena ,thanks to in ablity of Dutt sahab and some great acting by RK.Hats off to him.
These guys get paid to act and maintain their bodies and look good,but Sanju hasn't been taking anything of it seriously.He might have started a new life off-reel but he has nothing new to offer on-reel.
Salman Khan was also following Sanju at a point..but now all of a sudden he is trying hard to get things back together.Looking fitter and better with his hair weaving.He also tried to act well in Bodyguard.
SRK is losing it.He is good with his KKR.Ra-one and Don 2 were the two most forgettable movies i ever seen.Attention seeking Ho!!
Amir Khan is god when it comes to survival.He is definitely over ape the Tom Hanks task.Satyamev Jayate is a master stroke where he makes crores and also gets appreciated for his so called rising up for social cause.Now thats how actors transform to businessman.Corporate Social Responsibility thing.
Saif Ali,who is at the wrong side of 40 ,is romancing Kareena.Other than that he gets time to act in movies with 1 week lifespan like Agent Vinod.He is not doing bad being a sexy agent with an irritating voice like that.He needs a voice over desperately.Better late than never.
Anil Kapoor is another survivor of the lot.Sad to see his 80s buddy Jaggudada doing stupid TV commercials with his eye-bags on.
Anil has done Slumdog and MI4 in 3 years.Two major Hollywood movies in sucha short time.I really want to know who is his agent in Hollywood.Maybe he will sign me and get me work too.He has got work for Anil,so he is really good at his work.
That reminds me of another garbage fiesta movie,TEZZ.Ajay and Anil teaming up along with the director to screw the brains of the viewers.
Ajay Devgan is always fit ,looks good (when he doesn't dye his hair with some ridiculous shade ) .Other wise he is still trying to perfect his 3rd expression.He is master of the previous two.One of which is specially reserved for Golmaal franchise.
I am so glad the likes of Priety Zinta,Susmita Sen and Rani Mukherji gone into hiding and not making a fool out of themselves like their male counterparts.Bollywood has always been sexist pairing a fresh faced sweet teenage actress against an actor older than her dad.The ladies also retire early in Bollywood.Exceptions are like Madhuri who come to haunt back in the camouflage of a kaamwaali Baai.She is never going to be Meryl Streep or Susan Sarandon for sure.
Humans age,even i age,but when you age you are supposed to get better at your trade.I wish the bunch of unprofessionals in Bollywood knew that.Its not just about aging gracefully it is about getting seasoned.
