Tashan (2008)

Best movie ever!

A Disappointing Continuation

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It seems to have become common practice that the plot is subjectively centered around purely the brawn aspect of the movie. Even for title that brandishes the very concept of an intrepid display of spunk, it fails to deliver on decent direction for sequence of events. It just seems to be a retarded exhibition with spasms of conniving plots conforming to a brash, stereotypical and personally speaking unsophisticated Bollywood super- human action climax. If you are looking for even a hint of sophistication or decent story-line - this is not the movie for youIf you are seeing this because of the cast(though I don't think it does any justice to their acting) - you might brave it out at your own risk.

After an intriguing opening twenty minutes, 'Tashan' stops making any sense. Saif Ali Khan has a weak role and does little with it. Akshay Kumar rise above the script and remains watchable. Anil Kapoor is disastrously bad. He mumbles his lines and his Hindi-English dialog simply annoys. The makers clearly forget about the script. They seem to have spent all their time on the look of the film. Yes, it IS stylish and the visuals are nice, but the film simply doesn't work. The songs are mediocre but well shot. A few numbers could have been cut. A disappointment.Overall 3/10

It started as a good/funny movie which is moving, but after a point film doesn't have anything to offer. All the fun, ishtyle or formula goes bad, terribly bad. And the bad portion of the movie is so long that it overall eats the movie. The acting deptt is good, what Anil can do with such stupid dialogs??? His hinglish sucks. Funny in the beginning, but can you tolerate a character who only speaks in a language which is hardly understandable?? The story get so mixed up in the end that it became funny in itself and viewers laugh at themselves. If you insist watching on it, stop watching it as soon as Akshay, Saif and Kareena are together on screen. There is nothing after that in the movie.

If there is one film which is the worst of this year- it's TASHAN The first promo gave an indication that the film will be a boring Dhoom 2 style film, and well i knew first only it would be a bad film whatever it maybe Because of it being a Yashraj film Or maybe seeing the cheesy promo But this film gave me a shock, it was even worst then Dhoom 2 and what i expected First Saif's introduction which is boring Then Saif- Kareena meet, Kareena is so artificial and then Anil Kapoor oh god, what he is doing in such a weird film? What kinda role it is? What acting is he doing? His first scene is alright but then his act gets repetitive and he overacts Then came Akshay who provided some nice scenes, but then the film became more boring and with all the outdated stuff Childhood romance, overdose of childish Rajnikant style action scenes and all boring scenes The ending is another jokeVijay Krishna Acharya would have got 3 films more to direct, if this film had worked, thats the strategy of yashraj, only money nothing else So Vijay is another addition to their list of crap filmmakers Music( Vishal Shekhar) is ordinaryPerformances Akshay Kumar comes in the film as a whiff of fresh air, he actually provides some engaging moments Saif Ali Khan is irritating, Kareena is equally bad Anil Kapoor hams outrageously and spoils the show even more Rest are okay
