Shahjahan fails to deliver the goods

Shahjahan promised much initially with the promos and the songs but fails to deliver the goods. The Director is the one responsible for this insipid story track and familiar screenplay. Of all the movies released this Diwali only the music of Shahjahan was welcomed by all parts of people but the movie is a big letdown. Reviewing this movie was so easy. No technical bravery, No classy acting, None so superb to make it a hit.


The story is a one liner. Vijay helps anyone with true love. He uses money, police power and finally his stunts to unite lovers. All is good for him until he falls head over heels for Ritcha Palod. We don't have to tell you another fact that all these happen in College. Vijay decides to help like this courtesy of a flashback. What happens when he helps to unite Ritcha with another friend of his is the story.


The story sounds somber. The songs are too many in number and they are not shot good either. Vijay has to do something in songs. Look all his earlier films, He packs off to Swiss and shoots a song there. It feels like 'Deja - Vu'. The director runs out of ideas and the comedy track fails to impress. Two technicians who have worked hard are the cameraman ' Arthur .A. Wilson' who must be given credit for filming those daring but copycat stunt scenes of Vijay and Choreography by 'Raju Sundaram'. It was Ajith who did it in Citizen now it's Vijay in Shahjahan doing all those climbing and flying using rope sequences.


Before shooting those rope sequences , try watching movies like 'The Matrix' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. So that we could understand the need for it and how effective they have used that.


Vijay has to do some serious soul searching. He has not shown his full potential in acting so is Ritcha Palod.


So the verdict for Shahjahan is clear.


APPLAUSE : Music


AHEM! : Story, Screenplay.


VERDICT : People are not interested to see a song and fight sequence like those in the 70's. They need freshnees in the script and crispiness in the screen play.

Shahjahan..............

During my trip to Mtius, I was surprised that to see a channel for Tamil films. In sparetime, I watched this film with english subtitles. This is my first regional film review & I missed the names of the hero/director. Please bear :)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The Story:


The hero, Ashok, is introduced in the opening shot in a superb fight scene. Soon, we learn that Ashok is helping a lover to unite with his girlfriend & this is the 24th couple that he has helped out. He is now on lookout for a Silver Jubilee - wherein he would help a 25th couple & celebrate it as a achievement. [Very interesting concept indeed! ].


What's even more interesting is the fact that for someone who advises others in matters of love & always has some wooing tricks to offer, Ashok himself is very hesitant to confess his love for Mahi(Richa Pallod), she isn't even aware of his existence & he only keeps dreaming about her.


Enters his friend Raja who wants Ashok's his help to woo a girl he likes. Not realising that it is the same girl Mahi for whom he is nurturing a soft corner, Ashok does his best to help Raja wins her love. When Raja & Mahi want to get married, her father is against it. So Ashok helps Raja to get Mahi away from her father & also arranges for their marriage.


It is only on the wedding day that Ashok discovers Mahi is the same girl he had set his heart on. But as he is acting as one the witnesses to the marriage, he has no time to cry & a broken hearted Ashok gets the couple - his 25th couple - married. To escape Mahi's father's wrath the couple is leaving town but her father's chasing goons follow them to the railway station & Ashok fights his best to get the couple away. In the fight he is stabbed but he managed to push the duo into a departing train.


We see a dying Ashok & are filled with sadness, when he is helped to his feet by a friend, who then asks Ashok to help him in his love problems ! Even though he is heartbroken & stabbed, Ashok is back to his normal self - as he laughs out & winks at the camera................


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


My Word:


Though he ain't a good-looking choco-hero, the actor playing Ashok lives his character in the film & is superb in the fight scenes. In the shot where he realises that the girl of his dreams is the same one whom he has helped to get married, is excellent. Richa Pallod looks cute & has a lovely smile, she is suitable to her role, which didn't need her to do anything much except look pretty. The other actor Raja is a cast perfectly as the wimpy lover who alwayz looks upto Ashok for help.


I liked this film coz it had a very different fresh subject & also was curious to know whether Ashok would win the girl of his dreams or not. Of course, as with most timepass films, there is some sick crappy comedy in this film too. But overall, its a good watchable film.


What I didn't understand in the film was what's the purpose of title - Shahjahan? Is it coz shahjahan was a failure in love too? me still wonderg.......... if anyone knows, let me know too :)
