Review: Birjis Adeni Rashed
(The aim and intention of my reviews is to critique and recommend while not revealing the whole story to enjoy the movie when seen. But minor details have been divulged for a proper review!)
This is one of those movies where the trailer is good, picture not. This movie trailer showed all the highlights of the movie trying to give a peak into a fun movie, unfortunately the movie itself didn’t have more than the highlights.
The story vaguely strung together between one song to the other is about an aspiring actor who becomes a real life hero through journeys of fake cop and real cops, Bollywood dreams and mothers melodramatic desires. The movie’s songs seemed to have given a priority before the script itself because the screenplay just leads us from one song to the other without any depth and detail in story.
The best part of the movie was of course the song- Tu mere Agala Bagal Hai song and Shahid Kapoors excited charm trying to make things funny in a jaded storyline. But rest all is just silly, clichéd story, theatrical comedy and old jokes. Occasionally some things are funny, but it’s not enough to hold the story together or entertain enough.
Shahid Kapoor shows a lot of charm and enthusiasm to make things funny and entertaining but the script is so bad, he could only do so much. Illeana was very silly and her acting talents fell from her role in Barfi.
Mika Singh’s Tu Mere Agal Bagal is very entertaining with Shahid Kapoors doggie moves. Atif Aslam’s Tu Rang Sharbaton Ka is melodious, the item song with Nargis Fakri, Dhating Naach probably has some moves but nothing spectacular.
Just wait for it to come on Netflix or DVD
