Contract

Adhvik Mahajan, Sakshi Gulati, Amrita Khanvilkar, Prasad Purndhare Dir: Ram Gopal Varma
wogma rating: Watch when on TV (?)
quick review: In broad terms, it's a 'been there seen that' underworld movie. The regular Ram Gopal Varma style of covering gangsters and their lives. But it has a certain rugged feel about it and the sub-plots and side characters are fresh which can make a good DVD watch.

Style to ramu is taking quotes from Fountainhead and Godfather and pasting it in a movie script..

Well i guess ramu's review of reviews has scared the hell out of you... poor meetu.... According to me a critic should have the capacity of handling criticism... but u have chosen to do away with it by not reviewing contract... its a shame.....

Terrorism is the favorite concept for the film producers from the beginning.

//I promise this is the last time I mention RGV ki aag when I review a RGV product!//

I know! even I have a tough job avoiding Aag when talking of a Ramu movie.

U seemed to have liked Contract better than me..
My take on it:

meetu:

The thing is Sudhir, I find it a bit annoying when people complain about old work, but I just can't let Aag let go...annoyed now by my own double standards ;) But, i'm going to keep my promise, hope RGV will oblige too, by not forcing me too :D

I like your review. According to me the movie is not that much as i expected. It is similar to satya.

Mayur:

You are not serious are you ?? :) Well some things wr juz too big for my little mind.. I need to work on my brains to understand ramu's movies...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS

1] Why everytime, the hero opens his mouth, he spits philosophy/ramuism, even Ellsworth Toohey does not do tht..

2] Why IB guys are always with Goonga, use communication devices people, its so simple..

3] Why a leading terrorist comes himself to the target city for terrorist attack..

4] They are planning a terrorist activity/bomb blasts, and they are deciding on locations one day before. are the movie makers serious ?

5] Goonga and his wife are so extra loud, they actually get on your nerve.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SPOILERS

Well this movie is another crap from RGV factory. I have started believing that Satya was just a fluke.

a torture all the way.......Ramu should b sentenced imprisonment for making such movies...dont know hw many people (among the audience) might had been mentally tortured during this 2 and half hours
.............the worst movie ever seen so far...the lead actor cant lead anywwhere,,the most irritating characters where goonga and his wife,,
Ramu should understand ..movie making is not just about placing camera in most unpredictable places( now we can predist Ramu bhai anyway)..
Ramu bhai...u need a psychaitrist..i know one,,..
