  • A good effort - 'Hero becomes the f****** Villain'

    framesforever2012-03-14

    I watched this film on a night-out in Birmingham. Had no clue what the film is about , neither had seen any promos. It was a welcome surprise. Slick titles, Slick opening. But then arrives the made up romance between the two characters on a London underground. That was the biggest underachievement of the film! Romance was so poor that I felt that they were trying to love each other like if they really had to, and had no choice. Performances of 'Jai' and 'Simian' were tailored to fit in the role. What surprised me in the film was that the film entirely runs on the mercy of the performance by supporting actors. 'Goldie' the blonde haired character almost saves people from walking away from the cinema's. He was an absolute delight to watch! Cracking humour and some brilliant performance acting wise he delivered. His humour was fresh and his expressions were down to earth. You feel that he is actually the real hero of the film! Supporting performances carry the film from the gangsters to the elder sister of 'Simian' , they all did really well. Script wise, not sure what the film was really aiming at. I think the director got confused who to appeal the film too. Asian , Western or International. I think the pleasing factor almost destroyed the film's final potential. It did have a great potential to get cinema audiences to go after. And as there was a dialogue in the film 'The Hero becomes the f***** Villain' quite true in this case, because the lead actor hardly was convincing from any character of an Indian immigrant who has newly arrived to London. Villains in the film here were just Mobs of a weird Eastenders plot. And others helped his performance all the way. The real man to watch out for was 'Goldie' who had the most sympathy from the audience in my opinion and pulls his part really well. Still not a bad effort and go watch a locally made film on a modest budget. Still not a disappointment and was quite content till the end.

  • British Cinema at its best , blended with Bollywood

    info-318-4497802012-03-15

    I came across a music video which was a promotional song for the above named film and instantly thought that it was super cool, next minute trailer was searched and enjoyed by me. I watched the film today and I'm completely blown away with the quality of the film. Story of an Indian immigrant in East London and how he tackles life covering romance, friendship and hardship. I have never been a bit fan of Bollywood films but gosh I was taken a back with his film. All the 7 songs were integrated beautifully in this film and I have already purchased the album from iTunes. This film has been shot beautifully and a very unique approach to a Bollywood film. I am in love with the lead couple of the film Jai and Simran played beautifully by Asad Shan and Sabeeka Imam. They were brilliant and so was Goldie who had me n stitches with his comic timing. The three east end gangsters were amazing and sent a shiver down my spine. I won't spoil it for you but for me this is certainly in my top 3 films of the decade , go out and enjoy this romantic thriller.

  • Overall really enjoyed it

    zeenat-rajput2012-03-16

    OK write I've never seen a Bollywood film in my life and after hearing from friends and family about this I thought why not try it and see what it's all about after all it's made by a UK born Asian Artist. Having expecting the worse as Im not into Bollywood films I was fairly surprised as this is nothing like what I expected first half was slow introducing Jai, Simran, and their romance the second half is where the whole film took a different turn.. What happened was what I didn't expect not your usual girl & boy get married but mirroring something which happens in reality to a certain extent and bringing it to life on the big screen.. I was frankly blown away with the Second half I'm sure Bollywood films are not like this at all.. Touch of thriller in the film.. The lead actress is stunning but think she can improve a lot on her acting, Asad does a good job but Goldie is my favourite made me laugh throughout the film. Some good songs which made the film even better.. Overall guys I would say a great first film and attempt by Asad and all his hard work is very clearly shown in the film if you want something different then watch this film for sure...

  • Surprisingly good!

    luke-321-352012-03-19

    I'm not your typical Bollywood cinema-goer, I was dragged to this film by a Bollywood-lover and we were both pleasantly surprised. It was a good film. It's not your typical Bollywood film either.. it has a good mix of Britishness there too. There was no extravagant dancing or screwing in light-bulbs (which I feared may be included!). The music was definitely one of the highlights. A good choice there, with some very catchy and memorable tunes. The score itself was great too. Without giving anything away there are two halves to the film. From light to dark. Happiness in the first part where new to the country- Jai meets the girl of his dreams- Simran, and Jai also meets his best buddy- Goldie. Difficulties arise and the film gets incredibly dark and violent as the biggest, meanest London gangsters get involved. I enjoyed watching not only the relationship between Jai and Simran blossom, but also the relationship between Jai and Goldie. There was a real brother-from-another-mother vibe going on there and the bonding scenes were carried out well. The film is not perfect, acting-wise it is not all there. The lead- Jai, where good throughout, he is not very convincing during the later scenes. I'm sure I heard what sounded like a crying baby near the end? Simran- Jai's love interest was sweet and very charming, she did a good job with what was given to her. Goldie- definitely the highlight of the film, giving the film some comedy-relief.. very natural delivery and consistently good acting, leagues ahead of the others. The main bad guy Tony did a great job, though some of the dialogue was a bit too sketchy for my liking. A bit too clichéd too. He did a good job picking up the scraps though, and had some of the more memorable lines. The other supporting gangsters actors were okay. Though I did notice some overacting throughout. The script had some good twists and turns, though some very unnecessarily funny dialogue, particularly the "pop idol" remark near the end in what was supposed to be a very intense scene- not needed! Very uncalled for and spoilt the scene for me. A small gripe I must mention is. The title mentions London and yet in the film there is not much to suggest it is London. When I see a film with London in the title I expect to see at least a few common landmarks! Show off the beautiful side to London too! I also noticed quite a lot of blurring, I'm not sure if it was my contact lenses or the camera-man responsible. But it definitely happened on more than one occasion- where the subject of the scene wasn't the thing in focus. School-boy error perhaps? Overall it is a solid first effort and definitely one to check out. I watched with an open mind, I appreciate it is a low-budget film and is not without its flaws though it did grab my interest throughout and I did want to know how this one ended.

  • An Immigrant's Story

    sarbjitkaur012012-03-19

    Many directors in the past have tried to merge genres to create a Hybrid movie and to a large degree have failed. So why did Shan try his hand at a failing genre was the real reason for me to watch the film. The first gear was just that, a clinched filled story of Jai coming to the UK to make a life for himself but just as you got comfortable with the pace, Shan went straight to gear five. Seat belts tightened you were taken on an exhilarating drive that allows you to smile, laugh and cry whilst enjoying the ride. Asad's acting abilities are nothing great in the opening scenes however; this does change by the end of the film. None the less you do leave the film liking his character even if it is for his unusual makeup. Sabeeka was supposed to be the glamour piece in the film but alas failed to do achieve that – her monotone expressions did little for her character. Goldie who plays Jai's friend, was the most likable character and his range of emotions were superb. In fact apart from him, the only other person who stood out was the baddie played by Tim Hibbard who managed to bring the right blend of menace and fear to his character. Asad did a good job with the direction and on the whole, managed to give you a decent hybrid film and along the way has created a new niche within a vibrant and ever changing market.
