summer season be here when the choice in the cinema be limit to what the hot movie of the week and give 99 . 9 % of the screen dedicate to screen it . ok and so i may exaggerate on the percentage and but you get my drift . besides stuff from hollywood and bollywood too have their own share of highly anticipate blockbuster and and from some of the trailer show and i be hype to watch them too . tashan be bill a one of the most highly anticipate for 2008 and but i be quite surprise at the low than low turnout at the cinema . when i watch jodha akbar and it be a full house and but it wasn not for tashan . after watch it and i know why . it be entertain and but it be fundamentally weak . just like it literal english title and which mean style and tashan be all style and but little substance . not that it doesn not have the usual star power and but scene felt force and and some border on a tad ridiculous and even for bollywood standard i must say . which be quite surprising give that tashan be direct and write by vijay krishna acharya and who write dhoom and dhoom 2 and both of which i enjoy tremendously . in his rookie directorial out with tashan and while you can not fault his direction and you would probably scratch your head over the plot and which be clunky at best . it try to force too many thing into the story and though credit be give where it allow you some avenue to question character motivation and but that come a little too late and and only toward the finale and which leave you guess for just a moment before it latch into full blow action mimic many a thai action movie and with hong kong wirework and hollywood ludicrous firearm and gunplay with zero recoil . and in a bid to include everything include the kitchen sink and you have an assortment of vehicle appear and and the one that take the cake and in a dhoom 2 homage and be the jetski boat in the middle of nowhere . at best and tashan can be enjoy a unintentional comedy and and this be attribute to how the cast ham up with their character . saif ali khan play jimmy cliff and a call center executive who give english tuition and only a a platform for fish out new girlfriend material . his playboy way get junked aside when he meet with pooja singh ( kareena kapoor ) and who not exactly who she seem and the meek and sweet natured hottie . she engage jimmy service for her bos and mobster bhaiyyaji ( anil kapoor ) and who probably get most of the laugh a he speak broken english and phrase must like how an ah beng do it . and to complete the quartet and akshay kumar play bachchan pandey and an illiterate gangster for hire who get engage by bhaiyyaji to hunt down jimmy and pooja when they escape with money steal from bahiyyaji business . so begin a road trip of sort and with friend who turn enemy and and enemy whom you know will become friend a the road trip wear on . jimmy cliff be probably the most implausible of all and because he go from zero to hero and execute move that would shame rambo and in absolutely no time and which be quite out of character . kareena kapoor amps up the sex factor a she use her charm to guile both men and and have plenty of opportunity to do so give the much tout bikini scene and and other costume that boast of plunge neckline or hemline way above the knee . every character have a backstory create and and i think akshay kumar bachchan pandey be probably the best and the most touching and the most fun of the lot and even though his character seem a lot like a non green incredible hulk with his gravity defy leap and power packing punch . his wound also heal automatically and which impressively put wolverine to shame . and the best part be his theme song and which be damn alpha male and play in ra ra mode each time he take on adversary . but sad to say and that the only tune that be memorable and something that cheer bachchan pandey bachchan pandey . for most bollywood movie i watch and i will usually be able to and despite the obvious language gap and emerge from screening hum a tune or two . i wasn not able to do that after tashan and because the song unfortunately just weren not catchy at all . usually the song or dance routine work well into the storyline without any necessity to bring the character out of the current scene or location . that i enjoy and versus pluck them out and plonk them into extreme setting high atop a mountain and or atop jagged rock on the beach front . tashan probably do not take itself too seriously and but come from vijay krishna acharya story and you probably want something a little more decent rather than the ridiculous and and for continuity to be a little more careful as well . bill a a blockbuster and now i can start to understand why the crowd have already shun this one . despite akshay kumr steal the show and tashan could have be well on the whole .
