Emraan Hashmi... Aww, the sweety!!

Seeing Emraan Hashmi on Comedy Nights with Kapil, I just realized that 'Oh my God! Isnt Emraan just a little ice-cream cone with extra chocolate chips' as in 'totally yumms!'. Trust me, he is! I mean, okie fine, he's done mostly exposing movies which have been totally controversial, but that doesn’t make him any less of a rockstar.




Rather, at this very point, Kapil invites a girl from audience, Pratibha, to dance with Emraan and he's looking so - just so - muah! And I cant help but agree that I am jealous; mind you, I am not jealous often and if I am jealous, I would really want this!

Well, I really do understand why people don’t like Emraan much. The very first reason for this is that people havent seen much of his work. There is always a mindset of people that if Emraan is in a movie, it has to be an exposing one. AND THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT TRUE. Only if all the people would see his movies (which are like 30 so far), Emraan has given some great work.
I do agree that I am very much biased towards him for I liked him from the moment I saw him. Yes his acting in Murder wasn’t really nice, but he looked a stud even then. And over the years, his acting has improved exponentially while his looks have gone from hot to total killer looks.
I mean yes you can simply see how hot he is looking these days. Especially since Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, Emraan has become just a heartthrob. That mustache looked superb on him. While his latest release, Ghanchakkar, the little pony at the back, well, that didn’t suit the role but nonetheless it made him even much more desirable.

 Okay, I get it, you must be thinking that I am just crazy about his looks and if that is the case, then there will be hundreds other who might be better looking. Also, good looks is different for all people. I may like Emraan while someone while not like him at all.

Anyways, whoever thinks so, you really need to watch some movies of Emraan where he is just awesome. He has some real nice movies to his name. And people havent seen much of his work, so its hard for them to tell that he's good but for I have seen quite some of his movies, trust me, he's good.

Here's a quick view of a handful of Emraan movies that you really shouldn’t miss!!

Topping the list has to be - GANGSTER. This is simply because I have the movie on my hard-disk but I havent seen it yet ;). And everyone says that this is by far the best movie of Emraan in terms of his role and acting. Not much about the movie but the promos, songs and synopsis has been really promising. Maybe we both will see the movie together :)

Awaarapan… This is NOT a movie. It is definitely a classic. Its about a person who has loved and lost love. He is just living with a hope to do all that his love prophesized and so eventually meet her. It is a story about how helping someone helps soothe your own pain. Emraan has held the serious role throughout except for the few flashbacks where his love-story is revealed. Yes, Emraan is not at his best but still it’s a wonderful movie.

Ps : To all parents, worried guardians and dirty minds ;) - not all Emraan movies have any vulgarity stuff. And for heaven's sake, all movies contain nudity. Let's talk to the youngsters about it so as to let them make the right choice for the rest of their lives instead of scolding them and forcing them once to do so and live in constant fear that they might see it without our knowledge!




Raaz 2… Well, this movie shouldn’t really be on one-of-the-best-movies-of-Emraan, for Emraan has been completed flummoxed throughout the movie which makes the plot even more befuddling. And honestly, it is a female oriented movie and there is not much role for Emraan. But yes, this is a turning point for Emraan, if you ask me. There is a huge change in his persona before and after the movie. This is the only thing that makes this movie any special.

 And who can ever forget Jannat. I mean, it wouldnt be the right thing if I were to ever rate that movie. That was probably the first Emraan movie that made all girls fall for him instantly.




Once Upon a Time in Mumbai… Yes, even I hate Emraan's character in the movie but you cant deny he's outdone himself in this movie. He's looked sensual at the same time mysterious and authoritative. That mustache not only changed his looked but it changed the aura that he reflected. This movie made Emraan a serious actor.

Now there have been many movies in between like Raaz 3, Jannat 2, Shanghai, The Dirty Picture and Ek Thi Daayan, where Emraan gets better and better as an actor. These movies didn’t work for there was totally no story line and especially in Jannat 2, there wasn’t much to the role given to Emraan.
Also, there is constant abusive words given to him to spoil his image. But of you see these movies, you cant deny that each of these roles is challenging and from Murder to any one of these, Emraan has improved immensely. But there is a special but brief mention for a movie - Murder 2. Again we have the abusing problem in this movie but the scene where he is searching for the girl and then finds her dead and then gets worried and realizes he's in love with Jacqueline, I mean he's totally adorable in those scenes and you just have to see them. Murder 2 isnt one movie I would advice people to see, but if you even have a little scope of thinking Emraan is a good actor, these scenes will give you concrete to base your opinion on.

Lastly, but never the least, Ghanchakkar!! Whoever has seen this movie has loved it. What else do I say? Well, I will just say that Emraan looked a darling with the pony. It gave him the serious look he required for the movie still letting him have some casual air hanging around him. And did I mention he looked great?? :P


All the girls, just google some photoshoot pictures of his and you will see for yourself that he is one of the hottest people of the industries. Yes, initially he did work that wasn’t much appreciated openly in public but common you had to somehow or the other get into the industry. If he would have refused such roles, someone else would have definitely said yes and as a result, we would never have got Emraan - who is just too cute.





On a signing note, he's too cute ;) and you should definitely check some movies that I mentioned and you will know for yourself...

Ghanchakkar : stuck between lazy and crazy.... Review

Whenever I hear the word 'Ghanchakkar' I cant stop humming 'Oye Ghanchakkar Babu' or 'lazy lad lazy lad lazy lad… Saiyaan… Lo kar lo Baat' .. Lolzz..

Yes, indeed the movie has a wonderful and catchy music. Indeed, though the music maynot have had made it to the most favourite playlists of all the people, it is definitely one kind of music that everyone has heard. The songs, if not in the eternity of length, yet people remember partly for they have been so widely known and played.

The movie is fresh from all the love-stories releasing around the movie - Raanjhana, Lootera and Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya (a little later)… and this is what makes the movie worth the watch.

However, personally I feel that the movie was wrongly publicized.

The movie is a simple story about a con-couple. The wife - Neetu (Vidya Balan) is the more greedy of the two as she enjoys a luxurious high-end living standard. She reads international magazines and desires everything, right from food to furnishing and clothes, all to be of the standard that she finds glamorous. Meanwhile, the husband - Sanjay (aka Sanju) (Emraan Haashmi) is a simple and self satisfied man. It is hard to imagine him as a con-artist in the past. He thinks that they have sufficient to lead their lives happily and so relaxes on his couch everyday watching television and enjoys whatever his wife cooks. He has a caring mother who calls him daily to ask about his health.

Lazy meets Crazy

This is, until one day, someone calls Sanju and offers him to do a job - to rob a bank - 35 crores. A reluctant Sanju, eventually agrees in the greed of a bigger television, better life and moreover his wife's contentment.

Trust me, I am not going to write out, but you must definitely check out the bank robbery scene - it's rib-tickling. I mean, its extremely wonderful and probably one scene that makes it a comedy. (The movie is actually a situational comedy).

The story starts where the people who got Sanju to do the job, insist that he keeps the money for a couple of months until the Police stop investigating. They trust Sanju for he is the only one who got a family, which will eventually become his weakness.

 

Itna bada TV? Nahi, itna bada...

Sanju's life takes a drastic turn when he meets an accident and starts loosing his memory. When the people call again to share the loot, he has completely forgotten who they are. They kidnap Neetu, but are forced to send her back owning to her expensive lifestyle and demands. They are forced to stay with the couple until Sanju hands over the money.

The rest of the movie is a little monotonous with not so much ups and down. It is all about Sanju trying to remember where he hid the money and everytime he thinks he is closer, he forgets more.

The end of the movie is again worth a viewing. It is supposed to be an anti-climax which is hillariously turned into a good-bad-mix ending with a phone call.

Sanju looses most of his memory and he thinks the Neetu is having the money and is ditching him along with his best friend. He is sure of this and goes to confront her on a train, escaping, when he finds that she was held hostage. No matter they continue argument. There is another boss who is supposed to be the master mind behind the robbery. He is angry for Sanju loosing the money and kills the other two. He sees that Sanju has no memory, so lets him live, as this would be his worst punishment.

In the end, the location of the money is revealed. Neetu is happy and excited, meanwhile amused that Sanju has completely forgotten about any money.

I find that the ending was a little loose for there was no expression on Emraan's face. He was shown to have completely lost his memory and had no clue about any money.

Emraan's acting in the movie is really commendable. He has done a great job with serious acting. Though it is a comedy movie, the role of Sanju was of a serious man and Emraan has convinced us completely.

Therefore, if you are a Emraan fan, definitely go check it out - its for you!! Even if not, this is definitely a relief from the love stories and a movie with a freshness. Go check it out!!
