Review of Malang . . .

Review of Malang . . .



From the beginning of career Mohir Suri made thriller and romantic drama kinda films such as Zeher, Muder, Kalyug, Aashqui2, Ek Villian but my personal favorite of the director is Awarapan. I'm so much connected to that film. I can take it's name in my most fav film of Emraan Hashmi too.
Mohit Suri delivered superhit musical romantic drama Aashqui2 and then also successful Ek Villian and now came back with one more thriller Malang - Unleash The Madness.
It's his second film with Aditya Roy Kapur, second time working with Kunal Khemu and casting one Jhakaas Actor in supporting role Anil Kapoor & as there is Aditya then there must be someone very hot actress needed and he got Disha Patani for this role.
It is suspense thriller so I'm not going to write much about the story but it is set in Goa so we can expect some definite things from Goa location such as Beaches, Bars, Drugs, High Music etc and we can see all these things in the film.
Film starts from one fight sequence of Advait (Aditya Roy Kapur) in Jail and then introduction scene of Anil Kapoor who is shown short tempered drug addicted Cop who believes justice is killing the killer rather than taking him to court. then one murder happens, then Kunal Khemu's personal life scene and professional life scene is showing where his character has built up for us to understand what he kind of a character as a Michael he plays. and sometime story goes in past while sometimes it goes on with present scenario. In present it's story of just on night which is an eve of Christmas 24th December. This is how first half of the film is going on with character building and story building. I didn't get bore for a second as it's a fast pace story telling.
Indian audiences prefer to watch suspense thrillers as they are so engaging and it's taste of Indian people to watch nail biting films it may not get much audiences at theatres but later whoever will see this film on television or web they're going to appreciate it as it's well made thriller. I heard reviews on first day it was negative to average not a single critic appreciated the film all of them were finding faults in this well actually it's their job but as i am one film lover i must go for the film which film's trailer made me super excited. I always have my own views on the films. Many times it happens that critics appreciated the film a lot and when watch it i may find it very average film and also critics rejected the film totally and i loved it. So it's an individual choice to watch and share your thoughts.
Malang has usual predictable story but it's stylish direction, sharp editing and specially major twists and turns makes it winner. Once again Mohit Suri delivering finest thriller which has all the elements one suspense film requires.
Writing work is quite ok but dialogues could have more better. Direction is very stylish, Mohit Suri managed to execute actions, emotions, drama, thrills, romance everything in just 2 hours film without loosing it's core. He is too good in making thriller films.
Loved first fighting sequence of Aditya Roy Kapur in jail, the his first meeting with Disha is lovely scene, Disha entry scene is very nice, Anil Kapoor's intro scene, some chasing scenes, interval block and specially climax i really enjoyed it.
Title track by Arijit Singh is mind blowing i could not get over from that track when i came out of the theatre. Background score is also superb. Cinematography very fine specially captured Goa amazingly. Casting is also very nice some special appearance and some extended cameos are there except the 4 leading characters.
Disha Patani from her entry she is looking damn stunning and sexy. She has done very good job. I must say decent one performance of her career. Her appealing in bikinis make people fall in love with her hotness. She's good choice for the role and she proved herself in emotional scenes too.
Aditya Roy Kapur is seen here playing dual type of character one from the past who is young cool guy traveling at places to spend more and more time with himself while another one we can see in present where he's killer and killing one by one cops. For us they have revealed that Aditya is a killer but why he is killing is the suspense of the film. He nailed his character completely specially his physics is looking damn good for his role of present.
Anil Kapoor's performance is brilliant. His laughing obviously reminded me and all people of Nawazuddin Siddqui's character in Kick. He's not exactly laughing like that but still we can feel that. In emotional scenes, angry scenes Anil sir shines. Powerful performance by him.
Last but not the least Kunal Khemu is stealing the show here. OMG what a performance as Michael. He nailed it completely. Last year in Kalank he was outstanding but his role did not have much length. Here he gets really good space. I must thank to Mohit Suri Sir for not showing heroism only here all the leading characters whether it's Aditya, Disha or Anil Sir all of them are given good space to share the screen rather than just showing only Aditya again and again in every scenes.
Kunal Khemu is brilliant actor i loved him in Kalyug also liked him in comedy roles like Dhol or Go Goa Gone types but here he played his best role till date. Hatz off to him for this solid performance.
I am not going to share more about the second half of the film as it has the major two suspense that why Aditya is killing and what happened in the past of all the characters.
It is not for the below 18 as it's showing consumptions of drugs and some other scenes.
On the whole Mohit Suri brings another thriller and I wish it may get enough audiences to enjoy the thrilling experience of suspense drama Malang.
My Ratings
3.4/5.
