no offense guys, but I think that seriously RGV is a hit-and-miss producer. He IS awesome, yes - watch all his earlier films, ending with his last masterpiece - COMPANY. However Bhoot, while different, was just a lame ripoff of The Exorcist. It was different, yes, but not necessarily exciting.
Everything after Bhoot however was hit and miss. I admire RGV for taking on daring challenges and trying to change the industry, but at the same time, I'm beginning to suspect that he thinks he's the SHIT. He's just getting to clever for his own good. While his company releases a film every 2-3 months, not all are the best. Darna Mana Hai was somewhat ok, but horribly disappointing.
Madhuri Dixit was just a lame ripoff of his own awesome films - Rangeela and Mast. I'm sorry the whole movie might have been somewhat entertaining, but how can u sympathize with a major bitch like Antara Malli's character. She was PURE EVIL, unlike Urmila and Aftab's characters in Rangeela and Mast (respectively), she was not innocent - but naive, cunning, and simply put really really stupid. The only person more stupider than her was Rajpal Yaadav who knew that he was just a dog, but simply chose to be loyal to the queen bitch out of his undying love. She never once admitted that she even remotely liked him, despite him doing all those things for her. I'm sorry when the main character is as pathetic as Antara Malli, I just can't even remotely follow the main emotions of the movie, let alone enjoy it.
Ek Hasina Thi, however, is AWESOME. Great RGV style of filmmaking which still shows he has it in him to deliver quiky gritty thrillers. What I liked most is not that its gritty or exciting (which it is), but it took a pretty boy actor like Saif and turned him completely upside down to deliver one of the most intense, FUCKED UP, performances of the year. I admire RGV for casting him and I admire Saif even more for taking that role. BRAVO!!
However Ab Tak Chappan, since i saw that trailer, i have a feeeling its going to be like Bhoot. Marginally ok, very gritty, but just as much, a ripoff. It doesn't really have a good cast u know - just Nana Patekar. Ok Nana is good enough to headline a movie, but the rest of the cast looks pathetic. The movie does have the gritty factor going for it, but u can't really remake a great movie such as Training Day, without atleast a well known cast. And remember, Training Day wasn't exactly THE ROCK. So Unlike Qayamat, which you could say atleast had good cinematography and action scenes (besides an awesome cast), all Training Day had was a gritty story. Now since the story is a word for word copy, all Ab Tak 56 has going for it is possibly Nana's acting. And if he doesn't deliver the goods, then the movie will most likely be shit.
Now as for Khakee... I won't go into why it is a masterpiece. It has been discussed several times before. But I think u're dreaming if u say that Nana's performance will anywhere near be as good as AB's INCREDIBLE tour-de-force act in Khakee.
And Santoshi is a shit director??? Obviously you haven't seen Ghayal, Damini, Ghatak, Legend of Bhagat Singh, or even Andaaz Apna Apna, have you???
