Bluffing all the way...

After a long long long period of dormancy, ive finally decided to post another entry... :) wondering wat to write abt... and i think ive kinda decided to prolly write a review for "thavamai thavam irundhu" or "bluffmaster" which were the last two movies i saw... hmm... lemme see... i think i'll get the second one over with first... will explain why later on..... anywayz, this is going to be a totally unique review... as in, facts may be wrong, the account may be splotchy... events may not be in order... but hey, u ppl have no right to complain, coz i aint charging u to read it ;)

BLUFFMASTER

well, let me tell u, the first reason i went for this particular movie was that i wanted to check out "6 degrees" in satyam, which, my cuz informed me, was the best theatre in chennai... n well, i had nothing better to do n yeah im batty abt the song "right here right now"... all i can say is that the movie didnt disappoint me as such.. but yeah it didnt make me wanna go "I WANT MORE"... one gets to see pleasant faces (oohhh.... this a mild way of putting it... bacchan junior has all of a sudden become so macho n cool n hip... n as for the former miss. world, hey!!! who am i to comment on her???) but that apart there was nothing in the movie which actually stood out... very flimsy storyline, infact im wondering if there was one at all... the movie starts with a supposed cool robbery of sorts, planned n executed by bacchan junior... (now think abt it, i dont remember if there was a song which kickstarted the movie... man! memory is getting really really bad)... anywayz, i do remember there was a song after the successful heist... ;) tinu anand plays this film producer who is taken for a sucker n who in the process fattens abishek's pocket... and yup, the dude (i mean bacchan junior not tinu anand) is in love with miss chopra n she is madly in love with him too, the guy suavely n with gr8 flair proposes, the couple get engaged... as in the rings are in place on their fingers ;) n then it turns out, the film producer is a guy on the guest's list... hoo hoo... so yeah, the cat is let outta the bag, n the newly betrothed, happily (no not really, shes awfully disappointed n distraught, but im just being sarcastic... ) so as i was saying, she happily pulls off the engagement ring n gives it to the aghast abishek... cut... enter ritesh deshmukh... n no, i dont remember any of their on screen names... ;) like i said, u cant complain... now... getting bak to the story... where was i??? of yeah, ritesh enters... there's this stupid stunt he tries on our "bluffmaster" (bacchan junior is kinda annoying to type n anywayz the guy refers to himself as bluffmaster n yeah, i remember now, his screen name is ROY!)... n abishek gets the better of him... now... theres this doctor character, played by boman irani... ritesh n his cronie try robbing him, but their plans are foiled by abishek... the two's paths cross again n this time abishek suddenly gets dizzy n swoons... ritesh to the rescue! hero wakes up in ritesh's dingy appartments n this leads to the oh-so-sad story of ritesh.... it so happens, the guy wants to ace in the art of cheating too... n when he realises our hero is a natural at it, wants him to be his "guru"... anywayz, there's this bit abt how ritesh's dad lost all his money coz of this don guy, who is nana patekar by the way, n due to which he loses his mind n is suffering from actue amnesia n is stashed away in a loony hospital... now abishek has a recurrence of his swooning fit... he is examined by boman, who then dramatically explains with an x-ray, abishek's incurable tumour-in-the-brain... i didnt get much of it, but yeah, the guy is terminally ill... he is given 3 months to live... meanwhile, our hero's efforts at getting his lady love bak were all in vain n the woman goes n gets herself betrothed to this other guy (who i found cute too btw)... anywayz, when the dame hears abishek is soon to kick the bucket, she breaks her engagement n gets bak to him... :) now... abishek is egged on by the doctor to live wat remains of his life well...so he decides to help ritesh in his revenge mission... so these guys go abt planning how best to trick nana patekar... they assume the identity of 2 guys who are wanted for looting sparklers n get themselves a room in patekar's hotel... they strike a deal with patekar to trade the diamonds... make away with the money in exchange for fake diamonds... (believe me its not as simple as i put it now... loadsa rigmarole leading upto this...) the hero also finds out from the hearty doctor that there is a small chance that he can survive, only loadsa money is reqd... we then get a glimpse of the hero's savings which happens to be quite a lot... meanwhile, the furious patekar kidnaps miss. chopra... demands a ransom... abishek goes to the rescue... yup, he selflessly offers the money he intended to use for his treatment.... the girl is set free... hero is pushed off the many storeyed building.................. he falls, falls, falls.... on to this big float like thing... u know the kind we jumped on as kids??? only diff is that we had ones shaped like castles, whereas this thing is a big rectangle thing with a bullseye painted on it right in the middle... so the guy is safe n sound... now.... the movie was pretty nice till this point... wat happened after this is wat i found kinda funny... ppl come swarming upto him asking him which movie is being filmed... the guy fights them off, checks out the terrace to find that the villains r nowhere around.. checks on ritesh's address, checks on the doctor's address, checks on the loony hospital... all to no avail... explanation: ritesh happens to be tinu anand's son... to pay abishek back for wat he did to his father, ritesh plans the whole bit abt patekar, the tumour, the doctor, the new guy in ms.chopra's life... etc etc etc... patekar happens to be a script writer, a cowardy custard in real life, his curvaceous play thing happens to be his sorry oops! sari-clad wife... boman irani is a vet.... all very easily explained... n yup priyanka chopra happens to be part of the whole plan too... so in 5 minutes the whole thing is wrapped up nice n jolly n the hero n heroine look to all intents n purposes very much on the verge of living happily-ever-after....

phew! thats done... n after that came wat id been waiting for all the while... "right here right now", with the credits on the right panel... ;) dont know which i was more glad to see... ;)

i take it, that was one heck of a muddling review, prolly u wish id never invited u to read it, but take my word for it, the movie would have given u a similar feeling esp after the last 5-10 minutes... keep checking, i expect thavam thavam... to be a hillarious read.... if n when i do post it! ;) toodle-oooo
