Mela

Aamir is very choosy of his films but sometimes he too has done mistakes Dharmesh Darshan's MELA was one of his mistakes which also starred him with his brother Faizal Khan

The film is a remake of THE SEVEN SAMURAI and also CARAVAN but the film also suffers from the SHOLAY hangover

The characters of Aamir- Faizal and the villain Tinnu Anand(his name in the film being Gujjar) suffer from SHOLAY hang over

The film however is boring and the comedy between Aamir- Faizal is irritating and too loud and the pee joke copied from DUMB AND DUMBER and earlier shown in HERO HINDUSTANI(98) is badly handled

The villain's track too is clichéd and so is the entire bhasti set up plus the misunderstanding between Aamir and Twinkle and the entire climax

The climax is stretched endlessly

Direction by Dharmesh Darshan is weak, Music is okay, DHADKAN MAIN TUM is the best

Amongst actors Aamir tries hard to play a Dharam type role of SHOLAY but is too loud here though he does well in many scenes He isn't at his best Faizal Khan given the serious role is too stiff mostly but okay in some portions Tinnu Anand is very good as Gujjar Twinkle Khanna however is painful, her dubbing by someone else is too bad and shreiky and that worsens her act This role was offered to Karisma but Dharmesh felt that Twinkle will suit it better and that was a bad part though even Karisma would be intolerable with her crying Amongst rest Johny irritates, Tiku Talsania and the rest gang of Raja Hindustani(Navneet Nishan.etc) are boring Ayub Khan dies soon thankfully

Acting (including Aamir Khan) is either bad or loud or both. The story is not very gripping. Twinkle Khanna sealed her fate as a failed actor with this movie. She has an amazing complexion. But the rest is plain bad. Despite having superstar parents, she does not have any talent as actor. Faizal Khan is boring. Just showing off muscles does not amount to acting. The villains are unreal and ugly. Blatantly plagiarizing the scene from Dumb and Dumber was done badly (I never thought this was possible!). The mela title song is tooooooo long and repetitive. I wonder what was the director thinking?

The whole movie is a waste of time. Not worth watching.

I watched this movie several times. It gives goosebumps. Few of the song are good like mela dilon ka aata hai literally travells me back to the past. I don't know about the feeling of mela these days but it gave us great feeling. Comedy is there. Good action sequences. Although the acting done by twinkle khanna and faizal khan disappointed a lot. But, the comedy part was good specially performed by amir khan, johnny lever. Climax is lengthy but good action sequences. I watched this movie several times. It is difficult to believe that this movie failed at box office. Daku Gurjar was not as par gabbar. But is good.

Mela is a Hindi action masala film directed by Dharmesh Darshan.This is most popular movie. The characters were very genuine.It stars Aamir Khan, his real-life brother Faisal Khan and Twinkle. The starting part of the film was wonderful. After this the main part of film is starts. theme of the story was near about creativity. Theme music was very nice. Plot of the movie was amazing. Songs was good. Title song 'mela dilon ka' was very famous song.The music was composed by four composers with Anu Malik, Rajesh Roshan, and Lesle Lewis composing the songs and Surinder Sodhi composing the film score.End of the film was so well.finally i rated this movie with 3 stars.

Don't listen to any of the crap about this movie. It's much better than the overrated movies of its era e.g Dil to Pagal hai etc.... I have watched it a few times myself. A full entertainer....
