Tashan
NOT A REVIEW - Getting the pre-conceived notions out of the system to give Tashan a fair view -
You know Tashan is clearly targeting that part of the audience that likes style-laden movies and have that rough-and-tough western-ish charm about them. The cool guys who are cool enough to pronounce style as "ishtyle" and Formula as "pharmoola" (We should thank their limited vocabulary since they couldn’t find words that could be misspelt to replace "Goodluck", "Gang", and "Fans"). None of this can take away from the fact that the dudes and dude-ette look super-suave in the promos. Until they open their mouths, that is. Saif Ali Khan's lines are lame and Anil Kapoor's style of delivering his is extremely annoying.
And as if to confirm that the target is the 18-25 age group, the landing page of the official site has three out of the six links taking you to facebook, orkut, and youtube communities of the movie. Or at least we know what faction of web users they are targeting. So, I guess, it only falls in line to have skimpily-clad Kareena Kapoor middle of frame dancing her oomph out in "challiya". I surely hope Ms. Kapoor has more to do than just that in Tashan. Especially after having a movie that completely revolved around her character in Jab We Met. Both the quantity and quality of her character description on the site don’t look too promising.
The character descriptions too sound like they are trying too hard to address a specific target audience. As in, I cannot imagine my parents wanting to watch the movie after having seen the site. Not to mention that they are making an extra effort to make you laugh, but right now I have a smirk on face when I read,
"QUALIFICATIONS: MMS from KingKong University, JKL in Botany from BingBong University, BBMS from Kaun Sa Desh, Currently getting made English Honours marksheet, also Three more degrees made in progress"
in the resume style character description of Anil Kapoor's character. Though I must say that Akshay Kumar's character name 'Bachchan Pande' made me laugh out loud.
The name Vijay Krishna Acharya brings back memories - shudders, et al - of Aishwarya Rai having the word "like" form 25% of her dialogue in Dhoom 2. On the other hand the same man is credited for dialogues in Guru and Pyaar Ke Side Effects, which I remember enjoying. Yet, none of this has anything to do with the kind of director he is.
There, so I have it out of my system. Now, let's go in there with a clean slate.

I jus hope with the presence of akshay and saif together, it doesnt turn out to be another "Race" experience.
Akshay and Saif were actually pretty good as a team in Main Khiladi... That was of course before Saif's transformation but if they do manage to create the same laughs, I am not complaining.
I was ready to throw up all over while watching Ash pull her pseudo 'girl from the ghetto' act in Dhoom 2. 'Like' how fake and out of place was that?

like most of the over publicised movies, i think this will also let down its hype and hoopla
I think that's a bit of an over-speculation based solely on the promos :-)
But yeah, looks like its gonna go the way you have stated.
Tashan - Review...
Local anesthesia...to the brain! No ishtyle, No chaaram, no kewl action, no ROFL jhokes (1.5 LOLs, tho)....
> And I could complain about artistic liberties taken, if only there was any art in sight.
ROTFL!!!

oooo.. why didn't i read this revie b4 going to watch this movie on friday ...
For all those fortunate ppl who havent gone to watch it yet .. take my advice.. this movie will give u head ache.. the review posted above is absolutelty correct ..
TASHAN = mental torture, stress, stupid , cheap action , money waste etc
please do not forget to mention about the jet ski in the climax.
You know I am tempted to watch the movie so that I can have fun running it down !!
one of the worst movie i have watched in my life!
akki is being made to fly all over,where ever he wants.
pls people dont waste ur money on this.
come on .. only good location , styling and packaging don't make a good movie.. TASHAN is a pure BUNDLE / BAKWAAS Movie..
If u have any enemy then do gift him TASHAN DVD ... and see the fun... ha ha ha ha
Well...
Finally India has started copying Chinese...at least YR Films does it to the spirit. Mass manufacturing at the cost of Quality. Or perhaps I was unlucky !!!
I saw JBJ on first day and thought it was bad luck that the movie was a Dud. Then...after seeing Tashan, I can feel a trend setting up with YRF going down the dumps if it continues to produce such Trashes. Anil Kapoor has been wasted Big Time...The only consolation is Akshay Kumar's Tashan which brings some solace !!!
Let Aditya Chopra come out of the Rani Mukherjee syndrome and seriously look what is tying his feet to a stone and dragging him down the sea !!!!
i m d big fan of akshay kumar..... if he had worked in this movie... it must b block buster..... wat a attractive name the movie has been given... 'tashan'.....
[...] Without giving the movie away [...]
I am glad to find a viewer who can see the quirkiness of the movie.It has its weaknesses but is still enjoyable in bits and pieces.
I personally thought the first two hours of the movie were a good entertainer. The ending as mentioned by others was a chaos. I would rate this movie 6.5/10 and is definitely worth watching once.
i don't agree with you guys. Maybe you guys left after the intermission, yeah its slow to start with but after intermission its all great. I loved the movie and will be buying the DVD.
This movie is must watch for everyone.. I can't be the only one on earth to experience the torture...
AKKARI BAKWAAS Movie... THIS MILLINIUM's TORTURE MOVIE... TASHAN nahin TENSION hai...
The best and only reason one has to watch the movie is to know.. AKHIR.. BAKWAAS MOVIE KAISE HOGI..
@Ashish K. - glad i could make you laugh :D
@Suraj Jain - oops! anyway, now you know where to come next time ;)
@ranjith - oh yes! how did i miss that!!? Thanks for including it in your comment. I just couldn't stop my eyes from growing wider when the jet ski appeared.
@Sudhir Nair - you just love doing that, don't you? ;) join the gang!
@sudarshan, akash kaul, sunny - :D
@AF, Pintu - alright then, it is 'to each his own' like always.
itna sub sunke.. kaun jayegaa.. isko dekhne...enjoy ironman..releasing 2 may....

This movie is a pile of shit. You go with so much hope on a weekend - to watch a YRF banner and a star cast and what you get to see makes you believe, really believe how bad a movie can be made....pile of shit, garbage, nonsense, frustrating, crap are some of the adjectives which come to my mind. This movie will ruin the impression of YRF in people's minds....those who manage to see the movie and survive, will think 10 times before watching the next YRF....Oh man even after 3 days, the thought of watching Tashan unsettles me so much - It was a mad house - Dont waste your time and effort and dont get enticed by publicity and star cast...IT IS REALLY REALLY BAD
TOTAL BAKWAS MOVIE....LOOKIN AT THE PROMOS...THOUGHT THE MOVIE WOULD BE GOOG...BUT,ITS NOT WORTH WATCHIN EVEN ONCE...ONLYBCOZ OF AKSHAY ACTIN,THE MOVIE WAS O.K///OUT OF 10 IT RATE THE MOVIE 4...WASTE OF TIME N MONEY...
Dont want to hurt the feeling of those who were tortured on seeing such crap, but after so many -ve reviews feels like getting a glimpse of this *#+-*#..
Physical torture can be seen lets see what mental torture is........
I was almost going to go, but canceled. Yeah yeah!

@Avnish - good for you! and thanks for the compliment on your blog!!
I have seen the movie Tashan 2 days ago.I really enjoyed it. Action is much better. It is Saif who steals the show with elegant fighting and the speed boat stunt which was spectacular . On the whole, Tashan is an OK watch movie.

Well,I saw Tashan..but was really bored half way through…
The movie didn’t live up to the expectations of a typical Bollywood fan…
Even, Jannat was not that great…
So, not many good movies coming out of Bollywood lately..
But, I’m really looking forward to Love Story 2050, the sci-fi flick of Priyanka Chopra & Harman Baweja..The promos seem really promising & personally I’m very fond of science fiction movies which are very rare in Bollywood..
AFTER WATCHING THIS TASHAN ...I SAID WAH KYA TASHAN THA DIRECTOR KA FILM KO END KERNE KA.AT LEAST EK WARRNING TO DE DETA ..TAT HEAD PROB PPL SHOULDNT WATCH THIS MOVIE ....AARE YAAR EK EK SARIDON TO DENA CHAHIYE THA.HEY GUYS I REALLY AGREE WITH U ...SUCH A DRAMA PIC I HAD NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.LOOK WHO THEY MADE US FOOL BY GIVING SUCH A ATTRACTIVE NAME..TASHAN WHICH I CAN NEVER FORGET THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. GOD FOBID ME PLZ PLZZZZZZZZZZZ STOP CREATING SUCH MOVIES ...N YES LOOK ANIL'S ENGLISH ...DISGUSTING YAAR ...1ST IMPRESSION IS LAST IMPRESSION...HA HA HA ..SAME THING HAPPENED WITH HIM N TASHAN ALSO .FALTOOOOOO
