REVIEW: Tashan is such a torture

But thank GOD for Bachchan Pandey!

There are some really funny moments too – like the part, which is very evidently a take-off on Don. The ACP tells Saif that he's the only one in the police department who knows Saif is on their side… and gets killed in the very next frame.

But somehow, unlike Om Shanti Om, Tashan fails to strike the chord and instead goes off on a tangent. For instance, the film follows the 'pharmoola' of a con girl taking a guy for a ride and falling for him and then by introducing the childhood sweetheart track, falls for the very thing its spoofing.

The action

Tashan was supposed to have some groundbreaking action sequences. But the only thing that you are left breaking is your head. The two major fight sequences are choreographed such, they make Bhagwan Dada's fighting seem modern.

Also, the action sequences almost seem deliberately inserted. In the climax scene, some half dozen Chinese men come to fight Akshay out of the blue, making you wonder if Akki actually paid them to show off his martial arts skills.

The look

It seemed from the promos that Tashan was all about style. And perhaps that's the only thing the film will be remembered for. But that was the very thing with Jhoom Barabar Jhoom too. So if after watching the movie the only thing someone thought worthwhile taking about were the wigs, we'd assume it wouldn't be a compliment.

Verdict

There are far better English movies running in the theatres. Go watch them instead. The brilliant Anil Kapoor seems completely wasted in this one. And somehow we can't believe that Yash Raj is actually bargaining with the multiplexes for this movie. Surely, we've seen a lot better movies from the banner.

Rating

2/5

Kareena has lost her sex appeal completely :(

she should have worn a 2 piece when she used to have yummy
curves. Her tummy looks like rock hard and her face looks so
manly now

Tashan sucks big time!!...Its a huge headache, torture &
stupidity rolled into one...Anil kapoor is getting on my
nerves...First race, now tashan...Anil's performances
are highly irritating..Or is it the roles?



everyone in tashan is loud and over-the-top!!!



why does saif dance like he is dancing on one leg??...He
dances like a langda & his acting style is getting
comical & goofy in almost every movie!!



the only saving grace is the hot hot kareena
kapoor....Great cinematography & akki's acting

It was really boring to watch kareena trying to look sexy
when all she has is plywood body. Kareena looked like dead
bat, starvinf cow. Talentless, ugly she looked like a piece
of crap moving about like a bag-lady! Btw, in some scenes
she looked uncannily like arnold schwarzenegger in drag!

Absolutely crappy flick... Saif is a big time looser..
Absolutely no acting / dancing skills... I wud rate it 1/5
and that too only because of akki's performance...

there

Completing the movie was such a big torture. You can guess
the next scene before it comes. The dialogues are really
cliched. The action is pathetic. Akshay flying from one
building to another and anil trying to speak up wale
bhaiyaji's english -you can't bear it. Only one
thing to look out- bebo's dream figure and bikini
scene:)
