Tashan (2008) (Comedy Hindi Film / Bollywood Movie / Indian Cinema DVD) [NTSC]

Okay,

This movie does not provide a message, or is deep. It is entertaining. Quentin Tarantino actually was consulted on this movie (per the credits). It's just a fun, funny shallow mindless movie. Like Pulp Fiction. Don't show it to your kids. Don't watch it with the family. Just watch it for what it is. It's different. And good.

Fun Spoof style action film ,steals from them all... Sweet innocent girl ( Kareena Kapoor )gets savvy call center guy cum english teacher (Saif Ali Khan) to coach her boss (Anil Kapoor) in all things english for an upcoming business meeting. Handsome teacher, innocent victim servant girl sweet romance budding smack,smack,smack wake up already this ain't Disney...drop everything but the money and your gun and run..Too late.

Saif starts this film by diretly addressing the camera and for me that is not a problem because it's perfect for setting up his characters motivation and pulling you in with the hilarious flash pics and statements from his childhood. Segue into I'm falling in love dance/song and you're up to your armpits in danger and bikinis already..all is not as it seems. Poor poor Kareena...will it ain't Kill Bill but she aint Bambi either.

Just before intermission send in Akshay's thug character in hilarious headgear for local play , delivering his sides dialogue and how he's on his way to becoming a wannabee shooter for life. He's a recovery agent , a rough tough , smokin hot blood hound who knows what he wants and he wont stop until it's in front of him and he's saying the magic words where's the money Pooja??? He's got a bit of a soft spot in his head for women and damsels in distress...wonder if Pooja will take advantage....very funny scenes ahead. The wildly funny send ups... Holy Widows ( hey prodigy of speiberg speak Hindi)..the side bar jokes and the pure adrenalin done for the hell of it because you CAN shoot it out with the commandos (AKI does his stunt stuff and it's fast and rocks). Last but not least take out ALL your brain cells and floss with them. It's time for the festival of shoot em up burn em up karate em up, stick em up hose em off exhausting ,exhilirating wild crazy ending. That bicycle of death is a hoot. Watched this multiple times. Lot of fun.

I just saw Tashan.Why do you guys who says this movie is bad? This movie is cool.
The movie would not have been half as entertaining without Akshay.You will love his character.A wannabe shooter with a heart of gold.He is the soul of the movie.

A perfect weekend movie.Just sit back and enjoy.
