Besharam Review: Sorry, Ranbir Kapoor!

Directed by Abhinav Kashyap and produced by Himanshu Mehra and Sanjeev Gupta, "Besharam" (see poster below) is a romantic action comedy movie that stars Ranbir Kapoor and Pallavi Sharda. It runs for 142 minutes and earned mixed reviews from critics after its release last October 2.


But never mind the critics. I usually don't trust them. I suspect they judge a film based on vested interests. However I am quite sorry for Ranbir because in this particularly moment I agree with their negative review of "Besharam". 

This film revolves around the love story between the charming good-natured orphan turned small-time thief Babli and the educated beauty Tara Sharma, played by RK and Pallavi (see below photo).


The movie’s funny moments, though, would come from Inspector Chulbul Chautala and his wife, head Constable Bulbul Chautala (by Rishi and Neetu Kapoors). They are a really good pair of comic actors!


The climax is a give-away; Babli fighting side-by-side with the officers of the law.

This film does not give justice to its stellar and talented cast. The storyline is plain, formulaic and predictable. The love story and romance between Babli and Tara was not developed.

Babli's mantra in the movie was "No yearning for respect, no fear of humiliation" (Na sammaan ka moh, na apmaan ka bhay).

However, in the end, the movie did not earn my respect but, still, Ranbir Kapoor must not fear humiliation (after all, his movie career would not be hurt by this lackluster film; we all fall down sometimes but what is more important is how we get up).


Do you agree with my "Besharam Review"? Please feel free to enter your comments. Thanks.

Katrina Kaif Six Videos

One thing I like about Youtube is that it made movies share-able for free to the whole wide world. So now, I am posting "Katrina Kaif Six Videos" that would include my favorite motion picture trailers of “KK”, the most popular Bollywood actress today.

I like movie trailers, especially how they are edited to stimulate the curiosity of the movie-going public. Of course, I also love watching beautiful, exotic (and erotic!) and pretty faces and bodies of Indian actresses. 

No, I dare not post provocative and steamy porn clips. After all, the sight of Katrina Kaif alone - even with (but most certainly without!) clothes - is enough to turn the heat up. Enough talk. Here are the said six (not sex!) videos:

1. "Bombay Talkies" Trailer (with Ranbir Kapoor)


A film about life's most powerful passions: love, sorrow, pain and desire made by acclaimed Indian directors Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Randeep Hooda, Saqib Saleem, KK, Sadashiv Amrapurka, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Ranbir Kapoor.

2. Ek Tha Tiger Trailer (with Salman Khan)


This action-romance film, directed by Kapir Khan and produced by Aditya Chopra, is one of the top-grossing Bollywood of 2012. "Ek Tha Tiger" earned $47 million at the box offices. Its cast include Salman Khan, KK, Ranvir Shorey and Girish Karnad.

3. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara - Official Theatrical Trailer


Described as a coming-of-age, comedy-drama film, this 2011 movie stars Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, KK and Kalki Koechlin. This was directed by Zoya Akhtar and produced by Farhan Aktar and Ritesh Sidwani.

4. Dhoom 3 - Teaser Trailer


This film is the third installment of the Dhoom franchise of Hindi action thriller films. Dhoom 3 is produced by Aditya Chopra, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and stars KK with Aamir Khan, Abishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.

5. Jab Tak Hi Jaan Trailer with Shahrukh Khan (SRK)


Released in 2012, this 175-minute romantic drama film is written and produced by Aditya Chopra with Yash Chopra as director. It includes SRK, KK and Anuskha Sharma as lead actors. It is reported to have earned $32 million at the box office.

6. Tees Maar Khan Trailer with Akshay Kumar


This 2010 comedy film, which stars Akshay Kumar, KK and Akshaye Khanna, was not positively received by critics but is still widely remembered for KK's dance number. It is directed by Farah Khan and produced by Twinkle Khanna, Shirish Kunder and Ronnie Screwvala. Although despite the negative press from movie critics, the movie was a hit to audiences and made $15 million at the box office.
