Tigmanshu fails for a change, below average movie.
Raja Mishra (Saif Ali Khan) and Rudra (Jimmy Sheirgill) gets involved into gangster world which they try to run away from but can't. They start working for politician Ram Babu (Raj Babbar), and get famous as Raja-Rudra. But the world they have created for themselves, is full of danger and betrayal for power.
Easily Tigmanshu's weakest movie I have seen till now. The songs already had developed a bad vibe in me towards the movie. What works against him this time is lack of proper story or a good enough screenplay. Imagine a movie that has a title song with opening credits and is followed by a forgettable item song (both audio and visuals wise). Raja-Rudra are presented in Sholay's Jai-Veeru avatar, but its such a quick tribute that I felt not as bad as when Jai died in Sholay. Having said that Saif-Jimmy sequences were easily best moments of movie.
Other good thing was the dialogue writing, many dialogues had a fresh feel, sadly same cant be said about movie.
Songs come into narration as if a particular scene was created just to make them fit in, specially Tamanche pe disco and Savera.
There is definately good dose of style, but it fails to distract from all the weaknesses of the movie. Sonakshi is almost in a supporting cameo role, wonder if she did the movie only to be part of Tigmanshu cinema or pairing with Saif as her role has nothing to offer.
Saif Ali Khan hams at places specially when he isnt with Jimmy. Jimmy Shergill was easily the best performer, how well he gets his expressions, notice the small nuances he brings into his character.
Gulshan Grover and Raj Babbar are decent in their supporting roles.
Bullet Raja has very little to love about, only Saif-Jimmy friendship and climax works.
Verdict : BELOW AVERAGE
