Gunda

wow !! amazing!! Mithunda at his best!! with breathtaking cinematography ( the background undergoes a split second change in a single scene from a shipping yard to an airport to a desert without the actors knowing about it !!) and awesome dialog writing as well as dialog delivery well this is pure Oscar MATERIAL...and well, y should it not be considering that its star cast involves some of the most legendary actors this world has ever produced...hold your breath...SHAKTI KAPOOR HIMSELF and MITHUNDA Of course....the death scenes in this movie are absolutely cool.. ALL IN ALL...A NEVER SEEN BEFORE MOVIE..DON'T MISS IT FOR ANYTHING

Director Kanti Shah is a genius. He doesn't belong with the mortals. His methods can be only compared to the likes of Quentin Tarantino. With that said, let me give you a fair idea about the movie.

This movie is more complex than Donnie Darko. Apparently, the entire plot occurs in a parallel universe where via Space-time warps, anyone can commute between shipyard/dock, airport/runway, desert/construction site, etc. in split seconds. The viewer must be aware of the fact that the time progression of the parallel universe is quite different from this universe as suggested by the rapid moving events. It must be also mentioned that the Newtonian laws of physics that holds true in this universe cannot be applied elsewhere. I am no authority over Newtonian physics but I believe Kanti Shah wanted to tell us that there exists no inertial frame of reference.

The acting is superb. In fact superb will be the understatement of the century. It is essentially the caliber of Mithunda that he's brilliantly able to take this movie from being an average to being a good movie and it is the sheer effort by the villains that takes this movie from being good to being great.

This review will remain incomplete and unjust if I don't mention the hard work put by Mr. Bashir Babar. He, as a scriptwriter, is at the top of his game. It takes great guts to write a script with every other line rhyming. The last time I found one was by Satyajit Ray - Hirok Rajar Deshe(1980).

The beauty of the movie lies in the fact that director Kanti Shah has not stated anything explicitly but stated things with explicit content. A movie on similar lines would be Loha (1997).

This movie is a must-watch classic piece of art.

"Gunda", One of my all time favorites, stress buster, with amazing storyline, "bole sachmuch deeemag ki ghanti bajegi" Boss, "ek se ek dialogues", and amazing costumes, and choreography. The naming convention of each character(ex:Lambu Aatta,Bachubhai Bhigona,Bulla,Natte,Ibu Hatela,Pote, Chuttiya ) will make you sit and think as to what can be better names than this.

Mithun as always rocks, and looks well chiseled with little hanging tummy yet sober and a decent GUNDA.You will fall in love with him , trust me head over heals not forget to mention it is better than his other all time classics "Maa kasam", "Cheetah (this is again my all time favorite)" Barood and "Chandaal", the must collections in your video library.

Every dialogue by Mithun is memorable and sure all of them are punchlines for the generations to come, I am sure I am not just the only one who is an ardent fan of this ultimate SAGA, you will sure have tears of happiness while watching this movie, and it is the ZENITH for any movie standard.

Happy watching.....

Man...Words are not enough to describe "Gunda"...This movie is guaranteed to have a profound impact on the viewers. Be it Mithun's acting, or the entire army of Baddies, this movie has got it all. Surely some people may dismiss the movie as any other "B" grade movie, but the kind of thinking that has gone into writing the story, screenplay, dialogs, and creation of characters is unparalleled.

My personal Fav. scene is where Mithun's sister is going on a "walk" in hot pants, and is saved from molestation by a guy who wants to molest her eventually. Isn't that something. And not to mention the entire gang of Villains..it just isn't possible to describe how much effort each guy has put in his acting...

Watch this for its full entertainment value...You won't regret it.

This film is not about Lord Mithun himself. This is the saga of all the divine characters with their divine introductions and dialogs, with Lambu Atta topping the list. The brute intensity of every single soliloquy from Lambu Atta and the regiment leaves you stunned with tears in your eyes and your guts aching. This is not just a movie; Its a celebration of emotions, love, family ties, clichés, political satires and the biggest of all - objectivity of death and forced fornication.

Its still debated whether this movie was meant to be this funny or its just a co-incidence. I don't know what did the actors have in their mind when they were delivering their lines. They must be suppressing their laughter so hard that it reflects on a subconscious level. A very serious warning though; don't watch for more than 20 minutes at a stretch. You might even die of over-dose.
