Where's the Game?

Reviewed by Sab Khan

Game is the Bollywood’s latest release by debut director Abhinay Deo. He has unfortunately failed to come up with a sizzling hot thriller. He may have tried to make a fashionable by signing in an apparently "hot" cast, but the plot of his movie needed thawing. The script was simply uninspiring and weak. Kabir Malthora (Anupum Kher) is the billionaire who owns an island in Greece, Sia Agnihotri (Kangna Ranaut) is a detective and Neil Menon (Abhishek Bachchan) is a casino owner. There's Boman Irani in the film too as a politician, Jimmy Shergill as an actor and Shahana Goswami as a journalist.

Four people are suspects in Kabir's daugther's murder case. But before the father can start investigating the murder, he dies. Apparently, this is a suicide attempt, but the four currently suspected are again arrested, for Kabir's death.

Too many unanswered questions and high predictability makes it a chore to watch the film. The direction is amateurish and is unable to extract the best from the actors involved. The first half of the movie is painfully slow, which the director tries to make up for in the second half, which looks mindless. But Alas! The thrill was still not gripping enough to control the audiences’ mind.

The movie tries to sell itself with the "trendy stuff" like people from different professions, a sexy police officer and views of beautiful Greece, but it all gets murdered by the script. Save your time by avoiding it, unless you are a huge fan of any actor involved.

F.A.L.T.U is not that Faltu

Reviewed by Sab Khan

The very title of the movie F.A.L.T.U is quite interesting as the dots between the letters says that it’s an acronym and when you pronounce it, it becomes faltu, means worthless. Vashu Bhagnani introduced Remo D’Souza, a choreographer, as the director of the film. The cast of the movie involves Ritesh (Jackky Bhagnani), Pooja (Puja Gupta), Vishnu (Chandan Roy Sanyal) and Nanj (Angad Bedi) with several special glittering appearances like Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Salman Khan, Mallika Sherawat, Sushmita Sen and others.

The movie is a steer clear inspiration of 2006 release Accepted. It focuses on youth and their educational activities like 3 Idiots. The four friends Ritesh, Pooja, Vishnu and Nanj are fun loving youngsters who have barely managed to pass their exams but couldn’t manage to get admission in any university. For that matter, they come up with a plan of making a fake university named as Fakirchand and Lakirchand Trust University aka F.A.L.T.U. To keep it real in front of their parents, they even publish advertisements in news papers and allotted a place to it, which results in actual interest of many other students, forcing them to face the actual reality of life.

A college life’s story manages to make you nostalgic. The director has done a great job arousing sentiments and excitement in the audience. F.A.L.T.U is a movie full of fun and frolic reminding you of your own golden days. All the actors displayed a light casual style with a tint of grim and gravity where required. If you aspire to have some playful time  to relax your mind, F.A.L.T.U is the right choice.
