Bang Bang!

 

Beautiful people, beautiful attires, beautiful locations, beautiful camera work, beautiful sets, beautiful music and beautiful dance, that is “Bang Bang!”. Just watch it to be relived from everything and get entertainment and come out with a beautiful feeling. As, producer and director have already called it out the official remake of “Knight and Day” so please do not crib if you find similarities. I am happy that Bollywood has come of age when directors used to copy Hollywood without acknowledging, thanks to the multiplex revolution, audience get to see English movies with their international release.

I am not going to write about the plot since it is very much evident and also, if you ask me I don’t watch such movies to find relevance in plot. The movie is not about the exact story, it is a genre Bollywood is experimenting with and Bang Bang comes out as a pure success. Before Bang Bang, Dhoom 3 and Ek Tha Tiger were also big success in this genre; Of course there were less likeable movies also in this genre like Krish 3, Ra One etc.

The director, Sidharth Anand has perfectly channelized his energy at right places in the movie. Correct mix of romance, action, drama and comedy is the formula for such movies. And all the others ingredients such as music, locations, sets costumes and stars (mind it, these type of movies needs star power and not “actors”.!!!) should ingratiate the experience of the viewer. Producer definitely plays very important role in this genre of movies. A small tightness in any of the section of the movie can ruin it. But Fox Star Studios has left no stone unturned and spent lavishly on all the departments of the movie. One can easily make it out by searching for real Dehradun or Shimla near to Hrithik’s and Katrina’s homes which probably were set up somewhere in Europe.

Hrithik has performed his part with exceptional zeal. His action sequences are mind boggling. Katrina looks amazingly beautiful. Her costumes are extra ordinarily beautiful. Cinematographer has done exceedingly well job. If at all any award will be given to this movie, it should atleast be for its cinematography and action choreography. Music is lovable and production design is extra ordinary.
