If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
BULLETT RAJA is no exception. It's raw, unrefined and harsh, much like Tigmanshu's earlier endeavors. Notwithstanding the oft-repeated premise, the screenplay has ample twists and turns and leaves you wondering, what's gonna happen next? The icing on the cake is the twist towards the penultimate moments. It is zany and funny, an Uttar Pradesh take on Sholay's Jai and Veeru. BR scores with its tight performances, Saif terrific with his clenched-jaw comedy, Shergill intense and growlingly funny, Jamwal's flying kicks and wavy hair making the landscape even hotter. Still, BR is a racy ride, cynical, yet sweet, dark, yet bright. Guns, girls, grime and glory come together in a layered tale of corruption, politics and kinetic camaraderie. The songs brakes the pace. But then you really can't have a formula film without the song breaks. It takes a politically savvy storyteller of Dhulia's skills to convert the lowest ebb of our politics into an occasion of high drama.AL_janaby
Some films don't work in spite of a good director and good star cast. Bullet Raja is a perfect case of the above. Dhulia has directed some fine movies like Haasil, Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster and Paan Singh Tomar but here he gets it all wrong. Dhulia as a writer fails here miserably. The story has nothing new to offer. Its starts with an unemployed youth who is forced to enter the world of crime and politics and ends up as a revenge drama. The story set in the UP heartland could've been easily set in Mumbai or Delhi. Dhulia tries to desperately play the cast card with the protangonist being a Brahmin by caste and showcasing the state of Brahmins in UP but that also doesn't work after one point. Worse, he bumps off one of the main characters in the film in the middle to make it into a revenge drama. And from here the story comes crashing down.Wht Dhulia fails to see that the Saif's character Raja and Shergill's Character have gr8 chemistry and this could have gr8 film if he would have focused on both the male leads.Saif is a fine actor and he's the only reason I watched this film till the end. He gets into the character and spots some gr8 lines in the 1st half. Check out the scene in the plane while take off. Some other actor and I would have changed the channel. However, he needs good scripts. Dhulia's regular Shergill is wasted. He shares some gr8 chemistry with Saif. So is Jamwal, Grover and Ravi Kishen. And I've no words to describe Sonakshi's character. She plays an aspiring actress who starts to live the two gangsters. Overall a very disappointing affair !!
In the late 60's Italian Director Sergio Leone made movies featuring Clint Eastwood which were referred to as Spaghetti Westerns, since they were kind of cowboy flicks made in Italy. Now years later, We have Tigmanshu Dhulia hitting base with a movie titled BULLET RAJA which can vye for the same honor-references are made in the film to Sholay-which also successfully tried the same genre.The opening shootout sequence is worth watching, reminding you of the Paul Newman starrer "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Saif Ali Khan and Jimmy Shergill involved in a back to back gunfight (literally), you have Saif shooting and Jimmy taking time to reload-which gives the audience a taste of what is to come.What can you say about a movie which has two major action sequences in the first half an hour of the movie, if you are an action lover-this movie is for you.Saif and Jimmy become best of pals when the former saves the latter's family from a slaughter led by Chunkey Pandey. Situations force Saif and Jimmy to become political commandos executing opposite party members in style. They are hire for guns to Raj Babar a political leader. A sudden event resulting in a kidnapping makes things sour between the heroes and their master. An event towards the break, makes Saif a kind of a fugitive.The shootouts are executed in style and yes there is tongue in cheek humor before Saif fires a fatal shot. Saif is brilliant in the title role, but it is Jimmy Shergill who steals the show with his brilliant performance. Sonakshi Sinha is wasted as Saif's live-in girl friend, trust me, even if the character was not included, it would not have made much difference to the movie's plot.Mahi Gill manages to raise the heat with her sizzling item song in the opening sequence.Watch the movie if you are an action buff and are kind of tired of all those mushy Bollywood romances
Tigmanshu Dhulia's 'Bullett Raja' is An Ordinary Fare, that works only till it lasts. Though engaging in parts & superbly acted, this gangster-flick lacks sharp writing. One Expected More!'Bullett Raja' Synopsis: A common man who transforms into a gangster revolts against the very system he once obediently followed by declaring war on the police, the government, and the industrialists.'Bullett Raja' begins nicely & holds its momentum efficiently up-to interval. The second-hour is unconvincing, with most sequences lacking pace or sharpness. Even the twist in the climax isn't smart, but rather predictable. The Screenplay has merit in its first-hour, which is pretty interesting, but the second-hour disheartens. Tigmanshu Dhulia's Direction is passable. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design are adequate. Music by Sajid-Wajid is foot-tapping. Action-Sequences are terrific. Performance-Wise: Saif Ali Khan excels as Raja. He suits the part & stands out with a tough performance. Sonakshi Sinha is nicely restrained in a brief role. Jimmy Shergill is excellent. His on-screen chemistry with Saif is delightful. Vidyut Jamwal is super in a cameo. This dude can do some kick-ass action for real! Gulshan Grover & Ravi Kishan are fabulous. Chunky Pandey is very impressive. Raj Babbar is flawless. Vishwajeet Pradhan is good. Vipin Sharma scores, as well.On the whole, 'Bullett Raja' offers mild entertainment.
