Hmmm, what can I say about this one?
Take vintage Akshay Khiladi Kumar in a double role (the only difference in the two roles being the shape of the end of his moustache), an energetic Sonakshi with nothing much to do except a couple of itemish songs, sets in Film City, a lot of South Indian baddies pretending to be Bihari thugs, growling and flashing menacing weapons before being slit open or hammered to a pulp, a Director who appears in a cameo in an item song, a child "found" in a trunk at a railway station, a walkman playing "mummy" songs, exploding cars, jumping Scorpios, fights in ravines, angry bees, etc etc. Write the story on a folded restaurant napkin. Invent innovative lyrics like Chinta Ta Chita Chita. Mix and serve.
Don't Angry Me!
On the other hand, to be completely honest, I did get entertained, and so did pretty much everyone in the full house. The lyrics may not win any awards, but the peppy song, the bright colors, and Akshay-Sonakshi do light up the screen. The Khiladi himself is great, as always, with his comic timing, his dialogues and his antics that will make you laugh. The fights are a throwback to the 80s, the excessive violence unnecessary, and Rohit could have done a much better job than trying to rehash Dabangg and Singham. The story, the editing, the camerawork, even the SFX could have been a lot more professional - but through all that, shines the brilliance of the Khiladi at his best. Sonakshi sizzles whenever she is on screen.
Should you see it? Why not - as long as you go with an empty mind, and come back with one - no questions asked, no analysis needed. Just melt into the seat, and let go. And get masaged by whatever's thrown at you. Like at the spa!

I don't know how many of you watched this Hindi dubbed Telugu movie in Zee tv, and its been aired from last 2 years but still reputed directors and producers re-make with top-notched actors. Entertainment values have gone shit, the concept is simple 'make movie which can run for 2 weeks' Khallas they make their money from every piece of product. Days are gone where the movies were realistic, fun filled and motivational.
