Review of latest movie Risk

RISK(Y) BUISNESS
No, it’s not Tom Cruise starter 1983’s comedy/crime flick. Nor it is a new venture in corporate world. But, its latest flick from the gullies of Mumbai, brought to you by K Sera Sera production co.. This year a mfia film director Martin Scortese won the Globe for his mafia based thriller ‘The Departed’ and is also likely to be the most forerunner in Oscars. It is year of mafias in entertainment industry??? The question and doubt uncannily arises in my doubt on seeing movie ‘ Risk’.
‘D’ was their last venture together. Now the duo, director Vishram Sawant and actor Randeep have brought us this presentation, which also marks comeback of one time Most loved and handsome star turned politician Vinod Khanna.
The film is based on Suryakant (Randeep Hooda), a honest cop who takes on job of cleaning Mumbai, not of garbage that’s what our political parties doing these days for recent B.M.C. elections, but of underworld and their activities disrupting Mumbai. His prime target is Bangkok based mafia don Khalid (Vinod Khanna) and his brother Arbaaz (Yahpal Sharma) whose network webs in Mumbai’s dirty cringes and corners. Suryakant is expert in gunning down rouges and has apt for troubles. His girl friend Shraddha (Tanushree Dutta) is harrowed by his life yet wants to be with him and behind him. Now our don has political backing from his made up sister Devki (Seema Biswas) and a foe Naidu (Zakir Hussain) with his political mentor Sarang(Anant Jog). Now our honest cop has a huge duty and taks to perform to get to collar of Khalid. He manages to catch a few rackets and to get warrant to Devki. But attempt to arrest leads a riot for which poor he is blamed and arrested. The honesty makes him give up his uniform and rifle, his prime possessions. The mind is playing games and an offer pops up through phone to join a gang of shooters. The offer is from Khalid who has heard about his shooting skills and courageous outrage. Dilemma is at its peak, heart is pounding and pulse is threading, much to everyone’s surprise he takes up an offer. Little is that they know, the offer is taken to be in enemy camp to root them out. He also befriends enemy camp of Saran and Naidu and criss crosses underworld till the point Khalid is arrested and Arbaaz is killed and Sarang and Naidu are eliminated. But the game and movie doent end here, Khalid retaliated with his left over power and the aids of Suryakant get slaughtered and case against him is about to get suspended. The hero roars and decides to end up the evil and using his aiming mastery, shuts Khalid forever.
Now you know why I mentioned ‘The Departed’ in beginning. The story and screenplay looks stale and repeated, reminds us of Kagar and Ab Tak Chappan. Visram shows yet another row of his rawness and amateurish direction, please join an institute for refreshing yourself and your talents, if present. Randeep is average in acting except for climax where he has shown his ability to truly act. But can someone tell him pushing lower jaw forward and depressing your angle of lip doesn’t imply serious touch noshit cop, only Marlon Brando can pull that off creatively. So next time please speak up and do not murmur to yourself which is not audible even to you. Tanushree if you want longer than role than 2 scenes and a song, learn to act. The overpowered performance by Vinod Khanna as Don can pull audience to theatre and definitely proves the point Politicians and ministers can act superbly. Yashpal Sharma and Seema Biswas are good for their roles. Talent of Makrand goes in waste bin for not being used. Zakir has done a brilliant job. With two songs, with two different music directors one cannot comment on it. But yes a special mention to title song was enchanting and powerful. Average cinematography with lack of dialogues. In all an average movie if you have time see it or just let it be. To end it, after ‘D’ spealling for disaster we all hoped Vishram and Randeep wouldn’t take a ‘Risk’ in their hands, but step is taken and result is on screen a regular cinematic watch with some impressive performances.
