Farah Khan the celebrated Bollywood choreographer returns for the 3rd time at the helms of affairs as a director after "Main Hoon Na" & "Om Shanti Om". If there is one thing we have learnt from her earlier works is to expect plenty of senseless plot developments, action sequences without a purpose, beautifully choreographed dance numbers and the absence of any storyline. All in all some serious entertainment minus the all so serious perspective. The fact that her previous works were runaway hits in the box office, almost assures us, that her next would follow suit. If the promos were anything to go by, it all looked rather amplified, with a certain "Sheila Ki Jawani" ruling the Indian music charts in the last month or so. Katrina oozes sensuousness in the video.
Akshay Kumar replaces SRK as the main man in the enterprise after AK had assured the cash registers rang big time in Farah's brother Sajid's "Houseful" earlier in the year. Add the other Akshay of the industry (Khanna) with a ridiculous wig and a plot thinner than wafer. Than punctuate the narration with rampant digs on almost everything You can fathom from Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle, Anil Kapoor, Steven Spielberg, Sleepy Hollow, Aamir Khan, Manoj N Shyamalan to Manoj Bajpai and then to Manoj Kumar As for events there is a hugely popular song which I have hinted about earlier, a couple of robbery scenes and in a style only Farah Khan can pull a few cameos from Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan & Chunky Pandey. Editing is the weakest aspect of the production and the song sequences the best.
The most intriguing part of the movie is the acting. It all looked like a lot of goofing around was captured in a camera and eventually put together as a movie. The irony is; that sums the better part of the story. A particular scene describes the 2+ hrs long narration of the movie beautifully. Akshay Khanna's character after the director says "action" is at a loss as he has no idea what he is to supposed to do. The director enacted by Akshay Kumar chews his hands and pulls his hair in disgust and eventually comes up with something as incomprehensible as the movie itself.
Well that is "Tees Maar Khan" for You. Go and watch it for "Sheila Ki Jawani" because its on 35mm and sounds better than Your home theater. Let me know if You agree with Farah about mindless being a tough job !!!
