F.A.L.T.U

F.A.L.T.U directed by Remo D Souza and a copy of Hollywood film "Accepted" must have been done with good intentions bur fails to strike a chord.

The movie is very bad.

Story: After barely making it through their Secondary School Certificate examinations, Ritesh Virani, whose father is a Kabadia, is unable to get admission in any college. He is not the only one though, his pals Pooja Nigam and Nanj Nair are also in the same leaky boat. They attempt in vain to secure admission through the father of their scholarly pal, Vishnu Vardhan. Then Ritesh's father decides to fire his hired help and get his son to do the work, and Pooja's dad decides to get her married, the desperate friends get together and concoct a fake college 'Fakirchand And Lakirchand Trust University', with the help of their money-lender friend, Google Chand. They recruit school-teacher, Baaji Rao, as Principal, whose performance is unacceptable by his school principal due to lewd references to 'Munni's Badnami' and 'Sheila's Jawani'. Google Chand offers them a derelict mansion in Panchgani, which they must renovate, invite their respective parents and show them that they have finally been accepted in college. Things get out of hand when scores of youngsters with poor marks show up, insisting on being admitted. Unable to handle the situation, the group let things ride - but not for long - for soon the police and Mr. Vardhan will get involved - threatening to burst their bubble once and for all.

The movie tries so hard to make you laugh.

The story is copied so no marks for that.

The direction is bad.

The music is good.

Performances:- Ritesh Deshmukh and Arshad Warsi save the show from going awry.They are awesome.The rest of the actors fail to create impact.

All in all F.A.L.T.U is bad.

Directed by Remo D'Souza, F. A. L. T. U stars Jackky Bhagnani, Chandan Sanyal, Puja Gupta, Angad Bedi, with Arshad Warsi and Riteish Deshmukh in supporting roles. This coming-of-age comedy revolves around a group of students who, after being rejected by traditional colleges for their low marks, decide to create their own educational institution. The film is a remake of the 2006 American movie Accepted and takes a stab at questioning India's rigid education system with an unconventional twist.

The film's biggest strength lies in its soundtrack, delivering hit songs like "Party Abhi Baki Hai" and "Leja Tu Mujhe." These tracks have had impressive staying power, becoming party staples and a part of popular culture for years. However, beyond the catchy music, the film doesn't quite hit the mark.

While F. A. L. T. U moves at a brisk pace, the struggles of the characters often feel overly simplified. The journey of starting a college seems surprisingly easy and lacking in the depth or realism that could have grounded the story. The film's core message about education reform and self-discovery is promising, but the story never fully capitalizes on it. Only in the climax, when a powerful song reinforces the film's theme, does the message shine through-but even then, it feels like a missed opportunity.

Overall, F. A. L. T. U is a fun watch for its energetic music and lighthearted comedy. But despite its potential to challenge norms, the film falls short of delivering a more impactful commentary on the flaws in India's education system.

FALTU is primarily geared to tap the Generation-X multiplex audience (read that college crowd). It has everything to soothe their eyes and ears. Right from the hardships of being a student, goading parents, college gags, the rat-race of exam scores and of course foot tapping music.

FALTU has certain good moments thereby nearly ducking itself from being categorised as fully FALTU. Overall the concept works in pockets but not in entirety. Inspiration to 3-Idiots are visible, however to make it palatable the entire creative team should have indulged in progressive brainstorming exercise and questioned every aspect to better it. In the era of "India Shining" the education system needs a revamp and no two ways to that. But the ideas suggested/ recommended in FALTU are closer to mockery than plausibility.

The producer with big pockets has the might to re-launch the twinkle of his eye. Jr. Bhagnani fails to register a strong impact on a yardstick of star material. Puja Gupta can be aptly described as "out of sight, out of mind". Don't expect "Rolling on the floor laughing" comedy looking at names like Ritesh Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi & Boman Irani. Akbar Khan enacts poor man's Feroz Khan. Chandan Roy Sanyal has clearly accepted the assignment either for money or goodwill. Sushmita Sen, Mallika Sherawat & Mithun Da make a cameo appearance as a gratitude to Vashu Bhagnani.

"Party Abhi Baaki Hain" is sure to be a rage in the disc. Others might gain popularity over period of time. As a choreographer he is two-thumbs up, wish I could use that expression for Remo as a director.

PS: Expect launch ver 3.0 sometime soon.

There is only trailer available where is the movie???

A bad adaptation from a 2006 Hollywood movie accepted...
