BADMASH COMPANY REVIEW

The country's esteemed production house YRF who are lying low after a string of flops like DIL BOLE HADIPPA and PYAR IMPOSSIBLE are back this time with a bang .This movie marks the debut of the villan of DDLJ PARMEET SETHI,has deftly handled this complex subject like a veteran.

The film keeps you hooked right from the scene one.The movie balances the entertainment and intelligence in right proportions.There are many poignant moments in the movie.The backdrop of 90's is quite novel.The ideas and game plans in the business are the master strokes.The movie is perfect except for the penultimate 20 mins.

The scenes i really liked in the movie are:
-The flight episode
-Bangkok sequences
-The phone conversation between the lead pair
-Shoe idea(brilliant)
-Glouses idea
-Climax(excellent)

Shahid Kapoor is getting better and better with each movie.His character reminds me of LEONARDO DICAPRIO from CATCH ME IF U CAN.ANOUSHKA SHARMA is stunning and she should enter the big league with this movie.The chemistry between her and SHAHID is electrifying.VIR DAS is perfect so as the other friend CHANG.The foursome share a perfect chemistry.The rest are apt.

Writing is perfect except for the penultimate 20 mins.The director couldnt handle the seperation sequences properly.Music by PRITAM is foot tapping.Cinematography by SANJAY KAPOOR is brilliant.Dialogues are fantastic.Editing is slick but the runtime is over two and half hours.Production values of YRF are extra ordinary as usual.

THE GOOD:Cast,Screenplay,Freshness in the content,climax and the business plans.

THE BAD:The penultimate 25 odd mins and the length.

FINAL WORD:Recommended

RATING:***1/2

PS:In a recent interview director confessed that he wrote the entire movie in six days flat.
