~~~GUNDAY-REVIEWS AND BOXOFFICE ~~~~~ - Page 15

GUNDAY stars were in Dubai on 11th Feb Wednesday for its world premiere at Meydan IMax. I also feel like a star to watch the film two days earlier from the audiences, that too in Dubai. But you guys don't worry i have bought a gift for you from Dubai and that is Gunday film review. So just celebrates friendship this Valentine's with Gunday, which is an crime thriller film written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Aditya Chopra from Yash Raj banner. The film will feature Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor in the lead roles while Priyanka Chopra and Irfan Khan appear in supporting roles. The film, starts off in the 1970s, with a young Bikram and Bala, who live on the wrong side of the law, becoming gun carriers and coal bandits.The film is set to release on 14 February 2014 With the Music of- Sohail Sen.

PLOT: It starts from the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War resulting in the separation of the region from Pakistan, which gave birth to an independent Bangladesh. The two young orphans Vikram and Bala were refugees then and they witnessed it all. They battled each and every day for their living and finally ventured into Kolkata (earlier known as Calcutta) to find a work space in a coal field and ultimately to become the coal bandits.The Kolkatians swear over their indestructible friendship and tout them as the most powerful and fearless goons of the city. On the other hand, they fear none but Nandita (Priyanka Chopra), a cabaret dancer, they are in love with. Between all this romance, a cunning officer ACP Satyajeet Sarkar (Irrfan Khan) is plotting his net to trap Gundays and wants to end their world of black market.

How their friendship survives through all this, is the tale the director narrates in this flick. Ali Abbas Zafar might not be applauded for his debut flick Mere Brother Ki Dulhan but this time he gets his share of praise for creating Gunday.Though the film is fast-paced, but its characters are more powerful than the flick. The scenes have vitality, which tempts you. The fearless duo of Ranveer-Arjun jumps over the sequences with high energy allowing the viewers to celebrate their friendship and courage. Their romance hit by the entrance of Priyanka tickles your funny bone at the same time.

DIRECTION: Many Bollywood films have shown us about the bonding of friendship, the feeling and the emotions in various shades. And now director Ali Abbas Zafar has come up with the same kind of plot but in his different way. Gunday is not just about goons and their struggle to rein Calcutta, but is also about the unbeatable emotional bonding between the male protagonists, which is more intense than any other relationship.With Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor, he resurrects friends for life emotion in an unusual manner.

Gunday is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar started working withYash Raj Films, where he worked as an assistant director under directors like Sanjay Gadhvi and Vijay Krishna Acharya. Than Zafar made his debut as a director with the YRF hit Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011) which starred Imran Khan,Katrina Kaif, and Ali Zafar in the lead roles.His second project is Gunday, and i Must say he has done a brilliant job with the film. He has selected not only the perfect cast but also locations and music director. The film has everything which can entertain an audience

CHARACTER GRAPH: Thing which makes Gunday perfect is it's the characters that win you over. Ranveer Singh who last year gave some of the passionate performances goes one step ahead. I must say he has improved a lots and in this film he is much better than Arjun Kapoor.His charms make you fallen love with him once again with humour and silent aggression. Arjun Kapoor, doesnt looks like that he has done just two films till now, he is quiet comfortable and will win your heart with his intense act. Both Arjun and Ranveer along with each other is a hard nut to crack, and looks like real Gunday. Priyanka Chopra is an eye candy. She brings down men to their knees as a cabaret dancer and is brilliant in her act. Irrfan Khan is playing as a clever cop, and as you all know he is a brilliant actor. In this film also he is mind blowing, who plays with minds and emotions of our protagonists, is razor-sharp. He is just tooo good

MUSIC: Music by Sohail Sen is high on energy. Almost all the tracks are wonderfully composed. My favourite one from the film is Saaiyan which captures Arjun and Priyanka's chemistry. Rest of the songs like Jiah, Jashn-E-Ishqa, Tune Mari Entriya are already the chartbusters. Julius Packiam adds the background score which perfectly adds to the scenes.

REVIEW: The best part of the film is that it runs continuously never get slow and bored, and it has everything like perfect cast, melodious music, mind blowing actions, lovely romance, friendship bonding everything which are needed to allow audience to come to theater. Whereas in first half Ranveer and Arjun have already provided you ample amusement with their die-hard chemistry. The comedy, action and romance. The film takes an investigative shape in the second half and through this the test of their bonding in the climax is what is kept in accentuation. All this sets in the beautiful Kolkata where Ali and cinematographer Aseem Mishra outline some of its perfect settings in this flick. I must say its a Valentine's gift from Yash Raj Film, a must watch movie. Just book your tickets now and get ready to fallen in love with Gunday's on Valentine's day.
