"HALLA BOL" -- movie review

At last I got a chance to watch a hindi movie in the theatres after a while....

So there am I again with a movie review...This time it is HALLA BOL... the words didnt make sense to me when I first heard but will always ping my mind when somebody ever says that.....

Another Raj Kumar Santoshi movie...that motivates the so called "Aam Janata" . Do you remember NAYAK???? Something similar...but this is a message to all the rich, the poor and the common man....

Do you remember street plays......no wonder you will find street plays around in big cities these days......

The man to watch for in this movie is not Ajay Devgan, but it is the theatre guru " Pankaj kapoor " (remember Karamchand??). Playing the former dacoit ("Daku") of Chambal -- "Siddhu". he is the guru of a big super star -- Sameer Khan (Ajay Devgan). He is out of chambal and now into street plays enlighting people to fight against the corrupt government and politicians.

In a page 3 party two sons of hightly rated businessmen/politicians kill a girl and nobody testifies not to get into trouble and every celebrity fears to testify against the criminals. Ajay Devgan was also one of them.

But someday he happens to realise that he needs to fight and he single handedly tries to testify and fights against the hurdles.

I think the story lineup is great. Acting point of view I really like Pankaj Kapoor (especially the moment when he tries to save a girl and a scene similar to Sunny Deol in Gadar and Damini).

But the only thing I think is the flaw in this movie is the screenplay. I thought there could be a lot at the end instead of some things that are understood in the beginning. For example when the culprits are testified against their crime.

The story reminds me of the "Jessica Lal Murder Case". Hope this movie enlightens the general public and make people feel that if they remain united they could fight against the corrupt administration of the country.

Enjoy the movie....
