Rating :2/5
Banner :Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam

Cinematography:Madhu Ambat

Producer: Champak Jain, Ganesh Jain, Ratan Jain
Director: Sanjay Chhel
Story:
A tale with a twist, the film begins with the small town of St Louise near Goa and now that has come into focus since there is news that a large cache of arms and ammunition is on its way in the coast and there is a mention of RDX being accommodated. In the same town is the famous theatre group known as the Kalakar Theatre Company and true to its title, the company has actors who are dreamers but in reality cannot do anything more than the routine 'Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam' for the umpteenth time. The team consists of Arjun (Rahul) Shabnam (Mallika) Andaaz Haldi Hassan (Kay Kay) and others. Now their monotonous lifestyle gets a twist when they get to know that a very powerful don has planned for a major bomb attack in the nation and now the team of actors have to come together to thwart this plan. Do they get successful in it? What happens after that forms the rest of the story.
Presentation:
The director has come up with an interesting subject but then it lacked finesse when it came to the presentation or the narration of the plot. The music was a major letdown and though the camerawork was alright, the editing part was again a failure. The script has somewhere lost its strength and the screen play though effective was a letdown. Dialogues are really witty and end up giving uncontrollable laughs but this happens only at few places. Coming to the cast, Rahul, Paresh Rawal and Kay Kay have come up with some real good performances and though Mallika could not contribute much her presence in the movie was appreciable. Pawan was perfect while Manoj got wasted in this. The others contributed their bits to the required levels.
Conclusion:
The idea of coming up with a parody of a classic masterpiece but then for something like that one needs to come up with a gripping narration and screenplay. While the first half was on the lighter mode things got more complicated and confused with many angles like terrorism, comedy, romance and the drama itself. However, there is not much to look forward to in the film, commercially it might get back its money provided the movie is pushed to more audience and greater visibility.

verdict: An average fare, nothing special about it
