Baazaar

What a genuine actor he is! I was hesitant to book the ticket for this one simply because i thought its a rip off of the Hollywood movies related to stocks but i was also interested because i like Saif in this type of roles. After i watched all i have to say is that Saif deserves all the appreciation for his wonderful performance after a long time.

How I wish the story maintained consistency thruout. It felt like there is a solid chemistry between two strong people. One was Saifs character who has his ground set, winner attitude and such great charm. The other character of Rohan in the beginning of the movie comes across as really solid, challenging character, so much so that thru out the movie I was expecting some sparkling smartness out of him, which sadly never happened. Instead the ending took away what's good of Saif's and Rohan's character. All in all the movie is good. Loved saif's character and the plot.

The movie is really good and it delivers the most important aspect of a movie, entertainment. #Baazaar is a fast paced movie which makes it watchable and enjoyable. The movie is filled with good dialogues, unpredictable twists and turns.

The movie's music does a very good job and keeps the attention right where it's needed.

The performance by each and every actor was convincing. The character of Rizwaan Ahmed really won everyone's heart but Shakun a.k.a. Saif Ali Khan was just brilliant. I really don't think the movie would've half as good as it is now had there been any other actor instead of Saif.

One thing which I really loved in the movie was Mumbai. I loved how beautifully Mumbai was displayed. We've had enough of bad stuff from Mumbai so it's good to see Mumbai in a good light.

The thing which I didn't like was how less time was given to the stock market and how everything functions in that particular industry.

But, at the end of the day it's definitely watchable.

Bazaar is perhaps one of the very few movies in Bollywood which shows the underbelly of the financial market. Hence I will like to praise the writers for the fresh subject matter. But having said that, unfortunately the film with it's predictable plot and cliched characters doesn't sustain that freshness for much long. At the beginning, the lead character of Rizwan seems promising with it's small-town-background-with-big dreams storyline. But soon after coming to Mumbai it turns into something tacky and "Bollywoodish".

Only relief comes from Saif Ali Khan's character. He is the star of the film. I wish the film had not given away so much space to Rizwan. Rohan was totally a misfit for the character and his performance was nothing short of being cringe-worthy.

And what can I say about the obsession for songs. They were a complete deal breaker for me. Weird songs. All sorts of songs. One remix. One Honey Singh. One with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan even. But none of them works for the story. I think it is high time Bollywood Studios should start reevaluate putting songs in between shots for no reason. Ruins the whole mood.

Special mention for the weirdly choppy editing. It made an illusion of fast pace even with a slow and stretched script.

Really loved the intensed thrillee movie after a long time. No one can beat saif when it comes to intense macho masculine movies. Worth a watch absolutely.
