Salaar Part 1 (FULL SPOILER-Y REVIEW)

I finally saw Salaar on Netflix, and as promised, I am going insane over the guys Varadeva.

MUSIC

Music is by Ravi Basrur, same guy who did the scoring of KGF. Let me start by saying that I absolutely loved the songs of KGF. They were high-energy songs perfect for getting yourself hyped up for something. I went into watching Salaar expecting the same thing, but I was proven wrong.

The songs in Salaar are actually more varied. The children in the school singing, "Prathi Gaadhalo" gave me goosebumps. I applaud the fact that Ravi Basrur has such range and versatility in the music he composes and arranges but you can still see his signature in his creations.

KGF & SALAAR?

Speaking of signatures... The visuals are beautiful. Obviously, Prashanth Neel's style is coming through in KGF and now Salaar. Also, there was something in the way the story is told to Shruti Haasan's character, just like how Rocky's story is narrated in KGF.

90% (or more) of mass action films have a flashback portion where the hero's backstory is revealed. In most cases, it's to clarify the hero's motivation or to show us his heroism/what he suffered/his traumas, etc.

In Salaar and KGF, the flashbacks are the entire story. In KGF, it's through an interview for things that happened in the past. In Salaar, the present and the past are more connected. It reminded me of Baahubali Part 1 where the present-day events make up the first half before we then dive into the entire backstory of Amarendra Baahubali. Mahendra's/Shiva's story in the present only really starts in the 2nd movie.

So this is where my ramblings lead to: we all know SS Rajamouli is thinking on a bigger scale. He's thinking epics. With KGF and Salaar, it feels like Prashanth Neel is gearing up for that, too. A lot of the people who dismissed KGF said it was because it was style over substance, which I'm fine with, to be honest, because what PN was trying to do in that movie was obvious, from the storyline to the music especially. He was trying to create a legend, the Legend of Rocky Bhai. Even if the story is not that unique and/or cringe, the fact is Rocky Bhai will now go down in history as one of the most unforgettable mass action characters of Indian cinema.

Here, in Salaar, we get a new world. It is in Khansaar where our epic unfolds.... (At least that was the vibe I was getting while watching.) I mean, Prithviraj said Salaar had Game of Thrones vibes. I'm a sucker for court politics in an interesting new world, so I was hooked. Also, that revelation of Deva being the rightful heir to the throne? C'mon, it's obvious, but it's a classic for a reason. It's such good angst and how Varadha and Deva navigate this revelation when it's revealed to everyone in Part 2 is gonna be amazing.

VARADHA and DEVA

In general, I think most of the characters are very interesting. Not gonna lie, I lost track of some of them midway through the movie. I was consumed by Varadeva every time they were both on screen.

Look, I kinda wished Ranga was still alive so there's that one character that has it out for Varadha and Deva would have to come to his rescue again in Part 2. Anyway, he was an interesting character because he spiraled so fast, and he was always clinging to Rudra's arm and going "I have never asked you for anything since childhood. I want Varadha." and then he was bawling his eyes out, like what a certifiably insane character.

Prabhas and Prithviraj's interactions were really very interesting and fun. I wish we had more. They bantered while fighting, and you can feel they're the type to make fun of each other and have fun. But you can also see how much they truly care for each other that time when Naarang was wielding his sword. They're like, "No, kill me, spare him." DUUUUUUDE. I loved that.

And when Varadha made up his mind, Deva was ready to support him. Who knows what's gonna happen in Part 2.

Action is okay. Was very nice to see them fight side by side.

OVERALL

The cast of characters, the story, the premise, the subplots going around... I'm excited for Part 2!

[getmemymicroscope]

I'd seen this movie before - when it first released in theaters - and hated essentially every moment of it. In fact, all I remembered - beyond my utter dislike for it - was that, at some point, there was a song in which, inexplicably, a tank showed up. No reason to be there, but ... TANK! Hell, I'd even forgotten that this same song also randomly had it raining money, and also had Jacqueline Fernandez. Too bad they didn't spend the money on script instead of wasting it on that.

In fact, I remembered so little that I'd even forgotten that, in the post-'success of Baahubali' world, they'd become so enamored with the idea of a 'pan-language film' (not necessarily a bad idea) starring Prabhas (horrible idea), that they'd even doled out money to get a Bollywood-laden cast of 'heroes' (Shraddha Kapoor), villains (Chunky Pandey, Tinu Anand, Mandira Bedi), sidekicks (Murli Sharma, Neil Nitin Mukesh), and guest appearances (Jackie Shroff, aforementioned Jacqueline Fernandez). Unfortunately, there's so many villains that they're limited to small, pointless roles - not ideal for you lead baddies - and your female lead turns out to be so incompetent that she makes multiple literally life-altering decisions and eventually ends up betraying her job and uniform because she's fallen in love with the bad guy ('with a heart of gold,' of course, because he's got to still be portrayed as good even after everything he's done). It's all shit.

She gets drunk and someone gets away. She, and everyone else, just accept this random newcomer as "the man" without any proof, and when the proof comes forth, she is like "no, I'm in love" and fucks up everything. What a stupid character design; I can't believe she agreed to this at all.

Prabhas' voice is unsettling, his character is a jerk, and this movie really shows that Baahubali worked in spite of him, not because of him. That one ('those ones') were lifted by a solid story, this one is destroyed by a fucking joke of a story.

The song with the tank is still there, inexplicable as ever. And the movie is just as fucking bad as it was the first time around (though, it is fun to make fun of with friends). The 'twists' are dumb and frustrating, her characterization makes you want to punch a wall, and the amount of slow-mo - and that final fight sequence - now reminds one of Race 3 (which is NOT a good thing in any way). Avoid this like the plague.

Devasena is just like “you see this right here bitches? this is a no bullshit zone. no bullshit allowed yo”

i cant believe im saying this but devasena would make a much better ruler than sivagami. in fact i personally think she would even be better than baahu. girl’s got her priorities right 

its interesting how baahu has a moon pottu and bhalla has a sun pottu. one would think the positions would have been reversed. maybe they wanted to show that baahu was more nurturing and stuff. but like. its sunlight that grows plants? anyways.

NOICE. COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL NO DOUBT NO DOUBT NO DOUBT NO DOUBT. 

THERE GOES THE HEAD.

its so sad to watch this when you know its all going to end horribly

oh my god “as long as you’re by my side no man has been born yet to kill me” well this line killed me so

cant you follow your moral code instead! is your allegiance to the throne so important! an innocent man cant go through punishment like this its wrong

oh my god this is so sad

also uhm i just realised that baahu has wonder woman bracelets

that was the most dramatic death scene ive ever watched. it gave me the chills.

WOAH bhalla is SO messed up in the head good god

wow poetic justice huh

that was... amazing wow

[claroquequiza]

Man of course I gotta ask for the entire exchange between Hanzo and Venkata. ALTHOUGH if you'd rather: how about the passage about Hanzo using his bow as a sword? Pick whichever is more interesting/fun to talk about!

I’ll go for Venkata! I already went over the bow-as-sword scene right here!

“Good heat!”

“Shubha vēḍi, Mr. Sakaguchi!” called out Uppalapati over the noise of the busy pedestrian street. “How are you today? Have you melted yet?”

Hanzo shook his head wryly as he wiped the sweat off his brow. “Atsui desu ne?” he replied as he approached Uppalapati’s tea stand. He could only smile and shake his head at the young man’s quizzical look.

I thought I was being so clever when I came up with “Good heat!” but, once again, @cantodelcolibri came to my rescue and let me know that the Japanese have an almost identical greeting. Of course they would.

The stand was a small space enclosed on three sides with barely enough room for even Uppalapati himself, much less the electric burners and the large open pots that held various amounts of frothy milk and brewing tea. It stood off to the side of a small grouping of chairs and tables set up on a raised patio, all under a sturdy awning that was nominally to provide shelter from torrential rains–the monsoon was still going strong even in October. Now it was valued far more for its shade, as the group of youths lounging as close as possible could attest as they kept clear of the slanted rays of sunlight trying to peek under the eaves of the awning.

By the time Hanzo got to the tiny counter, Uppalapati had already mixed the spiced tea and milk by straining them through what looked for all the world like a windsock. Now he was frothing it up even more by pouring the beverage from one glass into another with deft movements while holding them as far apart as his arms would allow–he was putting on a bit of a show for a customer who was becoming something of a regular. Hanzo watched him show off with a slight smile. Uppalapati was young, in his early 20’s perhaps, and his showboating, his sparkling inky eyes, and bright smile invited questions and commentary, which made Hanzo’s job all the easier. He had already gleaned much about the layout and general atmosphere of the district from him, and all for the small price of some light conversation.

I looked up a LOT of videos of tea stands in Andhra Pradesh, and, wouldn’t you know it, I found this charming young man letting us know how it’s done–this was the first iteration of Venkata, LOL! But the prep process is really cool–way better than anything I’ve seen them do at Starbucks.

“What happened the first time you got distracted?” he asked as Uppalapati placed Hanzo’s glass on the counter and nonchalantly tipped the glass in his hand backwards to fill it in a long, thin, creamy brown stream as he accepted Hanzo’s bank card.

Look! Look! Hanzo knows how to talk to people! When he has to! Because he doesn’t do anything less than professionally, the poor bastard!!

“Hm? What? Distracted?” he hummed as he processed the payment. “Never happened, no matter what my mother will tell you.”

“What would she tell me?” Hanzo eyed the foam as it threatened to spill over the rim of the glass, but, as always, Uppalapati cut off the stream with a flourish before it could.

“She will tell you about a boy who tried to impress a pretty Vishkar agent,” he laughed, his teeth flashing. “Back before he knew Vishkar are never impressed. He fumbled when she didn’t smile and got a, ehm, what are they called? Lavaṅgālu, the stuff that looks like a wizard’s staff, you know? A that-flavoured burn down his leg. She was not impressed before. You know how impressed she was after?”

Lavaṅgālu is cloves as far as the Telugu-English dictionaries tell me. I was terrified I was going to list some ingredient that was Not Actually Used, but cloves seem to be pretty common.

“Humph. From what I have seen, you lost nothing that day,” Hanzo observed as he gingerly took the almost-too-full glass in hand.

“No, I did not!” Uppalapati declared. He tapped his hand on the counter after he handed Hanzo back his card. “I probably saved this old tea stand of ours. If that pretty Vishkar agent thought we were worth anything, they might swallow us whole. I see them walking up and down the street, looking for new shops. First one goes in, and if one goes out, the shop stays. If one goes in, then three go in, the shop goes with them.”

Hanzo raised his eyebrows. “Really? They do that often?”

He shrugged. “Not often in Tartur, but my friend says he sees them often in Mandlem, on the other side of the Commons,” Uppalapati waved his hand towards the north, in the direction of the great city park that bordered Tartur. “But if business is slow there, they come here, to offer their ‘help’,”  he finished with a scowl. “A promotion, some call it.”

“But not you?”

Uppalapati let a grin smooth away his frown. “They don’t smile enough in the Inner Ring.” Then he flipped a lock of curly black hair off his forehead. “But they are certainly pretty enough!” Hanzo snorted and rolled his eyes in reply, prompting another laugh from Uppalapati. He thanked him for the chai and sipped it as he made his way to one of the tables in the shade of the awning.

Venkata is super bi, y’all. He knows a pretty person when he sees one, and he’s not afraid to pass the sighting on!

He would never have thought before this mission that any hot beverage would be worth drinking in heat like this–especially since he was stuck wearing long sleeves–but that was before he discovered chai. The tea itself was deeply appreciated for its caffeine, of course, but Hanzo would have expected the heat to drive him off even if the milk did not. However, the spicy interplay of black pepper, cloves, and ginger with the sweet milk and bitter tea was proving to be almost addictive.

And Now We Can Look Forward To The Line. You Know Which.

Tiiiiiime Skiiiiiiip

“Thank you, Mr. Uppalapati,” he murmured as he handed the glass over.

“Call me Venkata,” he said with a wink as he took it . “It is easier to pronounce.”

Venkata Uppalapati is part of the birth name of the Tollywood actor Prabhas. He stared in the most successful Telugu-language movies ever, the Baahubali duology. I’ve stolen the names of the cast for all the Indian OCs. Whenever I have to name someone from an unfamiliar culture, I always look to movies, famous scientists, and national heroes, LOL!

Ah, a distraction.

Hanzo’s mouth fell open for a moment, affronted. “You mean to say you do not appreciate my efforts to learn your tongue?”

Uppalapati’s smile quickly disappeared. He looked panicked. “N-no, I just–you–”

Venkata: DAMN YOU PRABHAS

Hanzo held his gaze for three uncomfortable seconds, ignoring the waves of cramplike sensations racing up and down his prosthetics. A particularly loathsome knot settled in the nonexistent arch of his left foot.

Then he laughed.

“I apologize, Venkata. I am teasing,” he soothed as he folded his brawny arms on the counter and leaned against it with a lopsided smile. “I realize I have been slaughtering your name all this time. Thank you for enduring my poor–” he licked his lips, “–linguistic ability.”

Oh. Hanzo can speak to people for pleasure and not just for business?? I Am As Surprised As You Are. Also:

Uppalapati stared at his lips for a beat before he recovered with a short cough of a laugh. “You–! It is not fair to call you names you don’t understand. That is the only reason I will not name you as you deserve!” he declared, his smile returning in full force. Hanzo could not see it very well from his dark skin tone and the gathering gloom of the stormy evening, but all the same it was obvious poor Uppalapati was blushing rather fiercely.

Hanzo permitted himself a small grin as the pain in his legs subsided a little under the simple pleasure of enticing an enticing man. “I shall apply myself to my lessons, then,” he said, “so we may fairly tease each other.” Uppalapati blinked and the flush in his cheeks deepened.

FLIRTY HANZO IS SO MUCH FUN TO WRITE YOU GUYS I CAN’T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN

I actually thought of and inserted a new scene into the story notes as a direct result of this–it was too much fun to write Flirty Hanzo to not do it again for SO LONG.

Feeling that his legs were steadying underneath him and that the game had progressed as far as he could allow, Hanzo stepped back. “Shubha vēḍi, Venkata,” he called over his shoulder as he set off. “Dhanyavaadhamulu.” He heard an uncharacteristically soft answer from Uppalapati, too soft to be understood.

Just another indication of how far Hanzo and Jesse’s relationship has to go, LOL! It helps to impress Hanzo with some sort of skill–that’s a free tip, there, Jesse. Venkata’s good at what he does, and that’s attractive to Hanzo.

And Hanzo won’t forget Venkata–he’ll be mentioned a couple more times at least. Thank you for the prompt, I appreciate it!! I hope you liked it!!

Meeting The Stars - PRABHAS  &  RANA

From the moment I got back home after watching Baahubali: The Beginning, I wished to meet the entire team behind the Epic because one, they were ideals in my mind for attempting something of such an impressive magnitude and coming out successful; and two, they seemed so fun to get to know after all their interviews together despite the heights of their fandom. It was indeed a dream team and my dream to meet them got a lot more stubborn after watching The Conclusion.

So last May, on a fine Friday morning, I came across a tweet about a contest regarding Baahubali the Lost Legends—the animated series of the franchise on Amazon Prime India twitter handle. It promised two sets of winners, the first three would get to meet the stars and the next ten would win certain Baahubali merchandise. My eyes zeroed in on the promise of those gifts cause I consider myself as a bit of a collector. I decided to give my best shot at it hoping to win at least one of them goody bags. I answered all the nine questions about the animated series. They promised to announce the winners that night and I almost forgot all about it until after dinner. When I did though, I rushed to see who won the goody bags and didn’t find my name so made peace with the thought that it just wasn’t meant for me. And not 5 minutes later, they announced the 3 winners who will go on to meet the Baahubali stars on top of getting the merchandise as well and my name was right on top of it—and I’m pretty sure I kept blinking owlishly at my mobile screen for 10 minutes straight. I legit couldn’t believe my luck and I thought it was a prank until everyone assured me it wasn’t. With what one would term a Cheshire grin, I danced around my place and kept shoving my mobile at everyone’s face (the ones who made the mistake of listening to me, that is). Friends who had me as their whatsapp contact were subsequent victims to my excitement as well. However, my mum and brother were an exception as they tried to tease me, mercilessly might I add, about my pintsize and how either Rana or Prabhas might have to lift me up so that I was in the same frame as them in the pictures—tried being the key word. It still had zero effect on my delight and I eagerly waited for the day that I would meet the team. (rest under the cut bc its super long)

Two months later, the day finally came. It was a Friday once again. On the morning of 21st July, I flew to Hyderabad with all my excitement swapped with a sense of restlessness. The moment was finally upon me and you can’t blame the jitters. I was all— What would they be like? What should I tell/ask them? How long was the meet and greet for? Should I write down the questions I had for them? And yada yada yada. Five minutes after touchdown at Hyderabad, Cheryl (from Amazon) called me to tell me that the talents were coming earlier than planned and I should be on my way to the hotel ASAP. The day before, she had informed me that I was going to meet Prabhas & Rana. So, instead of slowly wandering like originally planned, I rushed out of the airport and thankfully found the cab driver who was waiting to pick me up under ten minutes and we were on our way.

Now, I have a habit of striking up conversations with taxi drivers to fill in the silence (because of all the Ubers I’m used to back in UK). As soon as I get in the car, I start with something neutral like ‘Where are you from? How long have you been here? How much you like the place?’ and the talk just flows after that. It always leaves me with a gratified feeling when I step out of the vehicle and thank them genuinely before bidding goodbye. I couldn’t resist and asked the driver all these questions in the little Telugu I could manage and he started speaking about the city, its uniqueness and all the special places to visit. Once he knew I was an architect by profession, he went on to explain the construction history of the intercity elevated expressway we were passing over that moment. And by the time we reached the hotel, I was pretty much convinced that Hyderabad had one of the best infrastructures in the nation and forgot all about my earlier jitters from the flight. He informed me he’d come to pick me up the next day as well to take me back to the airport for my return flight and I happily waved him away before ambling inside the hotel lobby in search of Cheryl. Thankfully, she found me and after a quick check-in, whisked me away along with Sagar (one of the other two winners) to the place where we’d be meeting the stars. There we were joined by the third winner Abhishek and a tiny amount of waiting later (barely ten minutes tops), by the two men themselves.

Until then, I swear by all Gods, the gravity of the moment hadn’t sunk in to me. I was in a calm and happy daze till I heard their cheerful hellos in the next room. My excitement doubled, but my voice turned to that of a squeak (like my mum often says) as I lost my calm and all the restlessness from the flight returned back full force. Abhi and Sagar were in a similar state as me while the organizers took a minute to explain to the two stars about the contest and more, before I was ushered out to go meet them first (bakra feeling, anyone?). Introductions happened in a blink and all I could do now is picture myself slowly toddling into the other room like a lost little sheep blinded by the spotlights set up by the filming crew. However, I’m certain that my flummoxed look turned into a grateful smile when I saw Prabhas standing up first with his hand held out in greeting. Bless that man, my respect for him instantly soared sky high. “Hi,” I piped up meekly as I placed my hand in his and a tiny stutter later, “—I’m Sharme.” He was a darling though, just like his nickname and with a generous smile shook my hand as he replied, “Nice to meet you Sharme!”

My next stop on self-introduction train was Rana, who was standing right behind Prabhas. Now this guy is something else altogether okay, but in a good way. He is a sweetheart and undoubtedly a big goof ball, who can pull you out of your edginess with few simple words (unconsciously on his part I guess). I shuffled towards him with my hand held out and repeated the exact same thing I told his friend. Without missing a beat, he took my hand and warmly stated, “And hi, I’m Rana!” I blinked up as I thought, yeah right Captain Obvious! Despite the sarcasm, I couldn’t control my bubbling laughter and straightaway forgot all about my earlier concerns. What an effective way to break the ice as well as the barriers between celebrity and their admirers, right? Extra brownie points for Rana-man!

Also, I need to mention this here — I might have very well introduced myself as, “Hello, I’m tiny!” because I had my neck craned up high throughout the exchange. Wearing my flattest shoes was both a blessing and a curse. I didn’t fall flat on my face thankfully, but I felt dwarfed standing there between them both for a picture and although I had prepared myself to tell them many things, the first to slip out of my lips was, “Oh God! I’m so tiny next to you guys!” I even suggested that I climb the couch behind us but they laughed it off saying they’d rather sit down than let me do all of those stunts. Such fine gentlemen at their cheeky best, yep. It must be in my fate or something cause I always end up getting teased every time I meet a celebrity. (pout)

Couple of pictures later, we were joined by Abhi and Sagar as well, and thus more chatting/teasing ensued. All three of us were kind of stumped for words as our brains had probably short circuited and was still on its way to mend, so when Rana started speaking we were more than happy to tag along. The very first thing they asked us was how much we liked the movies and of course we had to gush about it and I said I watched it six times for which with a nifty smile, Prabhas was like “Why just 6 times?” — what would you answer that honestly, other than vowing to go back home and watch it over and over again?

Then they asked us about the animated series and how much we liked it. The reply was obvious — for the incredible backstory it was providing about the two princes of Mahishmati, a past we never got to see in the movies. And of course, how much we loved Bhallaladeva, which made Rana look all pleased. By this time, I was totally back in my element and I couldn’t stop myself from stating, “Oh but he kills his best friend in the very first episode!” The room dissolved into laughter while I was reassessing the distance between the couch and the door to make a quick getaway. But that guy is way too good, to a fault. He yet again surprised me by saying, “Well, that’s what makes him the cooler brother no?” I had to smile and nod at that cause damn, he’s too good with persuasion too. What I never expected was Prabhas’ voice on my other side answering his question: “I actually thought of playing Bhallaladeva too. Why stop with just two when I can play three no? But then I felt I should give chance for upcoming heroes like Rana… so we went ahead with it!” He can go toe for toe with Rana-man undoubtedly. But his partner in crime always has an answer, “You killing yourself twice would have looked weird though!” Again laughter rippled throughout as I mentally shook my head at these two dorks, no one is safe from them—I repeat, no one is safe around these two.

Then we spoke about Rana’s new show No 1 Yaari, and how Abhi wished it would come subtitled and he was promised that the team was working on it. It also brought on the topic of whether we knew Telugu and we spoke about our journeys: Sagar lived in Hyderabad so of course he was well aware, Abhi started watching Telugu movies after Baahubali and my interest began after watching Magadheera with my Uni friends. So in a way, it was all because of Rajamouli sir. We had to ask why he didn’t come along with them for which we were assured he was working on something important once again. Ah ha! But the focus on languages continued and I remembered how Manu mentioned she preferred the German dubbed version over watching it in Hindi with subtitles and I told them so. They seemed amazed that it got dubbed in German as well, especially Prabhas. And then Prabhas had to leave so they gave us all our goody bags individually (guess who got lucky enough to get from them both, ME.) Once more pictures were taken of the moment, Prabhas left with a shy wave and Rana went to shoot a small promo video for the Lost Legends with the team in the other room and we were left to talk amongst ourselves. It was then that I was more or less whining about not getting the poster signed by them both and a good-hearted gentleman from the Wizcraft team ensured that my Rise of Sivagami book was sent up to Prabhas’ room to get it signed from him. And when Rana stepped out of his shoot-mode, he was charming enough to sign the posters for us. While he wrote best wishes for the two guys with me, he wrote lots of love on mine and I was like, yep you have been spending too much time with Arya man (another south actor). But it was fun and I enjoyed every minute of it, especially when he handed it back with a “there you go sweet lady!” I had to make a conscious effort to not melt at his adorableness. With all the promotions done and another fabulous movie on his list, I hope that precious man gets his rest!!

His last parting words were, ❝ Do keep the franchise alive, will you? ❞  And we all swore in unison before parting with a wave. Little does he know we have most certainly pledged our lives to do just that!!

After another shoot of us three recapping the entire experience, we bid goodbyes to the team as well and made our way to our rooms. And I came back home the next morning. Now as I think about that day, it feels as if I lived some kind of dream and I wish I could relive it again. Heartfelt thanks to Amazon Prime Video and these two fine gentlemen for making it a beautiful memory!!

”Be strong enough to stand alone, be yourself enough to stand apart, but be wise enough to stand together when the time comes.” This quote is best suited for what “Saaho” taught me as a person. Saaho is a big budget movie with @Prabhas and @Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles. U can see Prabhas all in style acting as a romantic hero and a tough guy who can fight an army alone. The movie will keep you guessing about who is who throughout 170 mins. Few scenes are replica from @baahubali in a modern version. The story is very different so you can watch it , go with the flow and don’t use your brains to understand every scene. Ending is a twist and full of suspense. I enjoyed the movie it was one time watch for me. @chunkypande @neilnitinmukesh @actorprabhas @shraddhakapoor @maheshmanjrekar @mandirabedi @tinnuanand @apnabhidu @sharma_murli @arunvijayno1 @me_jackline @directorsujeeth - good effort made by all together in making this movie. P.s- there are few songs for your enjoyment shot full in style. Do post your reviews about the movie in the comments 👇🏻 . . L I F E . I S . S H O R T . S T O P .

'Saaho' movie review: Action-thriller is strictly only for die-hard Prabhas fans

The much awaited, multilingual, heavy budget Saaho is here and hours after watching one of the very first screenings of the action thriller in Dubai on Thursday night, we are still reeling. Not so much from the awe inducing action sequences, the uber cool car chases or the sheer swagger of lead star Prabhas. Let's break down the Prabhas-Shraddha magnum opus for you because a regular review just won't do justice to this extravaganza, believe us. After all if the makers spent Rs350 crores on it, we owe it a more detailed analysis. The plot: The story is too convoluted for us to even attempt to decipher it. Without giving too many plot points away, suffice to say when an undercover cop and an undercover criminal crosses path mayhem ensues. Cars get crushed, people get shot, glasses get broken and our hero takes flight. Prabhas plays Sidhant Nandan Saaho, an 'undercover cop/criminal' with a murkey past who falls for his colleague Amritha Nair from the Mumbai Crime Branch. Their case takes them to a den of villains each out to outdo the other in the fictional city of Waaji (a glitzy, futuristic looking Abu Dhabi) Just for starters there is Jackie Shroff, Mahesh Manjrekar, Tinnu Anand, Malayalam actor/filmmaker Lal, Arun Vijay and Chunky Pandey in a menacing role, though credit goes to the Telugu dubbing artist as well for making him sound so ominous. Be it Neil Nitin Mukesh, Murli Sharma or Prakash Belawadi, each side character is given enough screen time to shine. Mandira Bedi as the steely Kalki, clad in impeccable Khadi silk saris, is a delight to watch. Ditto with Shraddha who could have easily been relegated to mere eye candy, but is provided ample screen time to show off her doe-eyed, blowdried charm. The action: Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's Saaho literally flying off a cliff after first throwing off his parachute and then catching up with it midway, putting it on, activating it and WAIT FOR THIS, shrugging it off at the last minute so he can land on his own two feet to cheers from his swooning fans. Almost makes you wonder if the scripts of Baahubali and Saaho got mixed up at some stage. Ditto with the scene where Saaho dons a flying suit to rescue Amritha who is hanging out of a helicopter, only to ditch his armour and land safely on the ground with not a scratch on either of them.

Saaho@SaahoOfficial Intense action and a visual spectacle that you cannot afford to miss!#SaahoInCinemas worldwide from August 30! #30AugWithSaaho #3DaysForSaaho1,0395:40 AM - Aug 27, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy172 people are talking about this The songs: You have to hand it to director Sujeeth for scouting for the best locations to shoot the song sequences. Shraddha is a dream to watch and Prabhas is extremely nimble footed - he literally saunters into our hearts with his sleek moves. Jacqueline Fernandez sizzles in the Bad Boy number. The costumes: Saaho is undoubtedly one of the most stylish movies to come out in recent times. While the villains are all type cast with gold chains and smart suits, Prabhas literally sashays down the screen in his ankle grazers and at one point carries off a fire engine red suit with such elan you nearly swoon. Verdict: Prabhas no doubt has the charisma and the swagger to make Saaho likeable. He plays it with enough gravitas to make us want to believe in him, but the script and action sequences are tailored to elicit jeers (or looks of horror/disbelief). At this point we need to acknowledge that certain sections of the audience were having a ball, cheering on their superstar and whistling and applauding his every move. Such fandom indeed is the only redeeming factor that can salvage this movie. Prabhas owes his fans big time if Saaho ends up creating any sort of record at the box office.

Saaho@SaahoOfficial Hold your breath & fasten your seatbelts, the #SaahoStorm is set to take over every theatre near you! #SaahoInCinemas worldwide from August 30! #30AugWithSaaho #3DaysForSaaho8745:49 AM - Aug 27, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy168 people are talking about this There is a scene towards the end of the movie when Saaho and Amritha are cowering under intense gunfire and the latter turns to the former to ask, 'Who are they? He replies nonchalantly: "Fans." Upon hearing more gunshots, she turns back to him and asks: "Why are they so violent then?". His reply? "Die hard fans." If you count yourself among that lot, then Saaho is definitely a must watch for you. Otherwise steer clear of this mess. Disclaimer: Due to technical reasons, the Hindi screening we went in for, turned out to be the Telugu version. While we were busy speed reading the subtitles and watching the action scenes unfold open-mouthed (due to the sheer absurdness of the scenes, may we add), there might have been nuances in the script that we missed. Though we strongly believe even if a quarter of the money, time and energy that went into coordinating Shraddha's lipstick to her costume had gone on to the script we would have been lucky.

John Abraham And Mrunal Thakur’s Movie Batla House Box Office Collection Going To Touch 100 Crore Mark

Batla house movie box office collection : Do you want to know the so far box office collection of the movie ‘Batla House’? Then you are in the right place. Batla House is a Hindi language action thriller movie starring John Abraham and Mrunal Thakur in the lead role. This movie was directed by Nikhil Advani and written by Ritesh Shah. The movie has been theatrically released on 15th august 2019 in 2019. Critics gave mixed reviews for this movie, whereas most of the general audiences support this movie.  This story is based on the true incident which happens in the year 2008.

This movie joins in the box office race between other movies named Mission Mangal, which consists of the huge star cast Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu and Vidya Balan in the lead roles. This Mission Mangal become blockbuster and its collection is very much high than Batla House. Mission Mangal completely dominated Batla House. Even though Mission Mangal having huge star cast, but Batla House only having John Abraham and it collected 90 crores within 14 days across worldwide in an effective manner. 

This week Batla House movie collected 2 crores on Wednesday approximately. So, it has been confirmed that this movie has collected 90 crores after completing its 14 days. In the weekdays, movies will not do well and theatre is struggling to pull the crowds. So, automatically, the collection will not be that much high in the weekdays. On that basis, Batla House also got locked and struggling to increase its collection. Apart from that, the collision between Mission Mangal also the main reason for this movie for not achieving 100 crore mark on box office. Even though Batla House is considered as a good movie, but it is still behind Mission Mangal. Whereas, it is also to be noted that, the Mission Mangal movie has been reached around 170 crores mark after it has completed its 14th day. 

Only two days, this problem will occur, because after that weekend will come and collection will get increase automatically. During weekends peoples will plan for a movie surely, so Batla House has a great chance of reaching 100 crore mark after this weekend. But still, there is a big problem is coming for Batla House collection. On 30th August, Saaho movie is going to release. A big-budget movie from a big production house starring Baahubali hero Prabhas, Shraddha Kapoor, Arun Vijay, and some more big stars are going to mingle in this race. It is going to be very tough for Batla House to survive in this race. 

Since Mission Mangal is also doing well. But still, it can able to pull crowds by marketing more and in case Saaho does not do well, then sure everyone will watch Batla House on weekends. Also, if people did not get tickets for Saaho movies, then sure they will have a second option of this movie. Through that way, the box office may increase in an extraordinary manner.

Adorable!!! Shilpa Shetty’s Son Viaan Imitates Baahubali Act Of Prabhas And We Love It

Baahubali directed by SS Rajamouli has become an epic movie that will be remembered as the path breaker in Indian cinema for years from now. In this movie, lead has been played by Prabhas, Rana Daggubati and Anushka Shetty. In the box office, the movie has earned the amount of money that is unheard off till date. Not just in India, the movie has done well in the countries like China, Japan, UK and USA also. Still now, some of us have not managed to come out of the craze of Baahubali and Shilpa Shetty’s son Viaan is certainly one of such example. A video of Vihaan has posted which has become viral almost immediately. In the video, Vihaan has been trying to emulate Prabhas from Brahmastra. He has lifted a chair just like Prabhas has lifted the Shiva statue. Later on, Vihaan has broken into the trademark dance move of Baahubali actor.

Epic scene of Tollywood star Prabhas has been imitated by Vihaan while watching the movie on television. Lifting the chair on one side of the shoulder, he has enacted the scene. Cute video has been shared by his father Raj Kundra. Caption with the video says, “Move over #bahubali here comes #Chairbali @viaanrajkundra I wonder where he gets his acting keedha from @theshilpashetty hmmmm can’t stop laughing at this! #family #laughter #love #joys #life #bond #fatherson #son #action #hero.”

Same video has been shared by Shilpa Shetty also later and she says “Saturday ShenanigansDunno where he’s learning all this @rajkundra9, considering he hasn’t watch this movie!!! Is this what they call #genesYeh vichitra maya…The background score is so apt matches my thought process The funny thing is seeing him trying to #lipsync even when he doesnt know the song.

My Review - Baahubali 2: The Conclusion

The wait is finally over. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is here to answer the question the nation has been waiting to know for two long years- Kattappa ne Baahubali ko kyu mara? 

Relax- No spoilers here! You have to go, and watch the movie to find out, just like the rest of us did. 

 But when you go to watch Baahubali 2, remind yourself of few things- 

1. This is a sequel to Baahubali: The Beginning, so either re-watch that movie, or read the story on Wikipedia, to remind yourself of the story and characters. (If you have not seen that movie, go watch it first. Duh!) 

2. If you have seen Baahubali, you know what exactly to expect from this sequel. It is a Telugu movie (irrespective of which dubbed version you see), so the storytelling is inherently grandiosely in nature. So the hero's will have heroic scenes and dialogues, and the villains will have over-the-top background music with extreme close ups to show you the villainy in them. 

3. This is a $200 million ambition movie, made with the budget of not even $50 million. So the VFX will at times be with par with international cinema, and at times be extremely patchy. Forgive it for that. ‪

So I ask you give in, and allow director S. S. Rajamouli to take you on this EPIC journey.‬ Yes, the story is a bit been there seen that, but the screenplay is very cleverly written to still keep you entertained and hooked for good three hours. ‪And that is a big win for the director and writer V Prasad.

The production and set design are huge, and beautiful (yes, some of it is CGI, but still a great combination). The action sequences are very well choreographed, and have been attempted at international movie level. The art design, and cinematography are breathtaking. The costumes, and make-up are on point. The soundtrack is soulful, and takes the story forward, instead of breaking the narrative. But better than the soundtrack is the background music. What fabulous work, especially for the scene just before the interval, outstanding stuff. ‬ 

Acting wise, everyone in the ensemble cast has done a fabulous job. ‪Rama Krishna as the ego-stricken mother, Sathyaraj as Kattappa the loyal protector looking for redemption, Nassar as the cunning father, and Rana Daggubati as the vengeful brother, have all delivered great performances. ‬ 

But the two people who stand out tall in this movie are ‪Prabhas ‬plying the original Baahubali and ‪Anushka Shetty‬ playing his love interest. If you liked Baahubali the son, you will love Baahubali the father. The son version was just a small shadow of what the father is. He is everything you expect a "Hero" to be. He has the swagger, flamboyance, and charisma, a "Hero" should have. 

As for ‪Anushka‬, she is the strong female character I wanted ‪Tamannaah Bhatia ‬to be in the first movie. Anushka is strong, and does not back down from her ideals and beliefs, no matter who is on the other side. That's kickass. Bollywood is gonna go ga-ga over these two. 

Yes, the movie is not perfect. It has its flaws. There are some continuity faults that I caught. The narrative sometimes becomes a bit self indulgent and looses focus. The climax is not as epic as I expected it to be. And like I said above, the VFX is not perfect. Also, some of the extras insisted on hamming their scenes.

But despite these flaws, Baahubali is a huge achievement. It's not just entertaining, it's also one of the most technically sound movie to come out of India. And just for that, you should go watch, enjoy, and support this magnanimously ambitious project. 

4/5

Salman Khan: My fans will also watch an Aamir Khan and a Shah Rukh Khan film and appreciate if the content is good

Salman Khan is gearing up for the release of his much awaited movie Tubelight. The movie hits the screens on Eid this month and the fans can barely contain their excitement. If there is one question that has been asked to the superstar in most of his media interactions, then it is surely about the records his movie will create at the box office. 

Recommended read: Salman Khan and Prabhas to be part of Rohit Shetty's next?

With the humongous success of Baahubali 2 in terms of the box office figures, one can say that there is massive pressure on Hindi films to create such record business. Salman too is under that pressure. Recently, in an interaction with a leading daily, when Khan was asked about the numbers he said, "I will tell you why numbers have become such a big thing. The most amazing thing about Baahubali’s success is that the Hindi audiences are so accepting. They have made a Telugu film so large, even though they do not know south heroes apart from three or four of them. South audiences know us there; yet, our films do not do that volume of business because their fans have an extraordinary sense of loyalty to their actors. Fan following is very strong — if there is a Kamal Haasan fan, then he will be a Kamal fan forever; Rajinikanth fan will be a Rajinikanth fan for life. We have piracy here; one should try indulging in piracy there, fan clubs wouldn’t allow it." He adds, "Whether a politician or the underworld does it, they don’t give a damn; they will fight it." Interestingly, when the star was told how even the actors sometimes here indulge in piracy and watch films at their home, he said, "Yes. Hats off to the Hindi audiences. They love movies, and go and watch English, Chinese, and south films. A Salman Khan fan will also watch an Aamir Khan film and a Shah Rukh Khan film. And, if the film is good, they will appreciate it." Directed by Kabir Khan, Tubelight also stars Sohail Khan and Chinese actress Zhu Zhu in the lead. The movie releases on June 23, 2017.  For the latest in Bollywood, TV & Fashion download our updated Android App OR our iOS App.
