Halla Bol or wat?

Well back to my blog after a long time.. since i just saw Halla Bol 2 days back.. thought would start with that..

don't know wat the reviews are saying reallY think if i am not wrong then its like a 3 star movie.. but i had gone with a lot of expectations.. it miserably failed for me.. Ajay devgan acted well and so did Pakaj Kapur.. but felt somewhere it lacked the depth for it was dealing with a serious topic and if treated well would have been a mind blowing film.. i loved the concept.. but somewhere feel the director's (Raj Kumar Santoshi - FAMILY, PUKAR, THE LEGEND OF BHAGAT SINGH, ETC) vision lacked the unique story telling ability inspite of a good story... the story ended up seeming more like a pot pourie of a lot of events.. an actors life.. the entire first part reminded me somehow of the movie page 3 (where madhur bhandarkar tooK a dig on the movie and television world)..

it had the connotations of the jessica lal murder i feel where celebs were present at the time of the murder .. didnt stand up for the case and kept quiet as some big shots sons were the ones who murdered her..

it was to me a very average movie.. Ajay has done movies much better than these.. just seems one in the line of his serious roles.. now becoming endless ones.. even though i love him best in those roles.. COMPANY being one of my fav movies..pankaj kapur.. very wasted i feel. a very typical role.. and where i thought it lacked the depth was the fact that in second half of the movie which talks about the awakening of the actor to real life issues.. and the problems faced due to the beurocratic rule in the country.. it doesnt seem convincing enough..editing could have made it crisper maybe cuz i think it got a little longer after a while and i could see people going tchu tchu...including my dad who i think hated the movie more because of the length then anything else..

all in all it was ok.. vidya balan as usual was the most boring aspect of the movie.. i increasingly feel with every movie of hers that i see that she has got nothing new to offer.. every character she plays feels just same because of her acting because her expressions , emotions and everything seems to be similar everywhere..

can definitely give this one a miss..
