Watch Billu For Free

Touches You

How sad is this?

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Billu is a movie about a barber residing in a village who is friends with a well known actor. The thing is Billu is poor and thinks his childhood friend has forgotten him and thus stays away from making any move. When the news of shooting a film at the location where Billu stays comes up, the family of Billu lightens up... but will that stay?For me the story of Billu was different... I don't know why but... before mentioning this I have full sympathy with character of Billu. I don't know why Billu seemed a liar to me. I mean I thought that he was lying throughout the movie. That's where the speech of Sahir brought shine to my eyes and bang in that moment I was wronged where I wanted to be wrong. Irrfan has acted superb. Songs are superb. My most favorite track is Billu bhayankar followed by Khudaya khair.FYI saying barber is fine... at least in my opinion.Rating: 8.0/10

"Billu" is a bit slow and a simple film that tries to establish a relationship between the stardom and real life and presents a story of friendship. Storywise the film is simple and remains humble, and characters look simply down to earth and is quite well performed by Irfan Khan, Lara Dutta, and Shahrukh Khan. Few dialogues try to illustrate the line of separation between film fantasy and real life. This humble story can be appreciated for its simplicity, but the slow pace and unnecessary dragging of the film at the middle somehow makes it boring. Anyway. though the film is on a whole a bit an unmemorable time passer, its attempt to present the friendship between a poor barber and a film star is appreciable.Rating: 2 stars out of 4

What an indulgent piece of crap! Shah Rukh Khan has truly started his decline into senility! Produced by his wife Gauri Khan, the only thing holding up this movie is the decent comic direction by Priyadarshan and the convincing acting by Irfan Khan. The overblown and self gratifying scenes from Shah Rukh Khan are truly annoying to watch (yes there is even a light saber in one of the many meaningless scenes). The story and movie would have performed so much better had it not been for the distractions of SRK. Come to think of it, why hide behind the on screen name of Sahir Khan when meaningless repeats of his other films are scattered throughout the glorifying shoots. It makes one wonder about the mental condition of the actor and the negative influence he has on the direction of movies (his company is the producer). Nevertheless, the supporting cast and Irfan Khan in particular are good and make for an enjoyable watch. This film might do well in India where Shah Rukh Khan does not really have to do much in his movies than to repeat the same old clichés (he is already revered as a demi god anyway). In a more discerning overseas market with a more intelligent audience, films have to work much harder for aceptance and therefore, this film will be soon forgotten, even loathed.

Priyadarshan off recent keeps giving nonsensical stuff After the last flop Akshaye-Paresh Starrer MERE BAAP PEHLE AAP he tries to remake a flop Rajnikant film The film has a nice plot about friendship but the treatment is good in parts onlyThe comedy is now getting boring of Priyadarshan films as it's mostly the same actors(Rajpal, Om) or similar charactersThe plight of Irrfan's lifestyle is well brought out but the entire Sahir thing is overdone, why does the entire gaon go crazy after him and imitate Srk as if they is no one else?This looks like SRK glorification afterall he being the producer of the filmThe item songs and other insider jokes.etc on SRK take a long time then requiredThe film also gets unrealistic when the entire village goes berserk after Irrfan This could've been handled betterHowever the climax is well handled and the emotions are well brought outDirection by Priyadarshan is good in parts but overall not his best yet better then his last films except BHOOL BHULAIYAA Music is good, Marjaani, YOU GET ME ROCKING AND REELING are nice songs and well picturised but forcedAmongst actors Irrfan Khan is the life of the film, he excels in his part and lives up to the role Nice to see him do diverse kinda roles but he could've better read the script again SRK is his usual self and again he plays himself after OSO and the novelty factor is missing, yet he does his best towards the end but his wrinkles could've gone Lara dutta doesn't look a village belle but acts very well Om Puri is as usual Rajpal is wasted again Asrani, Manoj Joshi are as usual again populating Priyan's films
