Machine

How can you make such a movie. Same story same plot. The twists were ok and the location and songs were fabulous but OMG. This is literally the worst movie Abbas Mastan have given till date. It's not boring but it's just the same thing over and over again. Mustafa was somewhat ok but he needs time to make himself and the rest were just their for playing around. This movie is not what I expected from the duo

2 din pahle ham or hamare dost the film dekhe story jyada achcha nhi laga lekin Mustafa ki acting record tod mast thi me is movie ke song ko 9 rating deraha or Mustafa ki acting ko bhi

We generally act in front of kid by stepping on Banana peel and slip. This is to teach them not to throw things on road and be vigilant while you walk.

SIMPLE !

Same goes for this abominable-worthless-peel on the cinematic road ! Don't dare to step on it , you will fall and may take days to recover ! EVEN if someone pays you to see it AVOID. Worst of acting , direction, bad tunes, no story , funniest and confusing ending !

For me, to make the things worse, after coming from the movie hall : people were still saying the actress was "fresh", "fine" and movie should get 2 or 3 start. WHY we don't have NEGATIVE stars ! - I wonder now.

And actress ? Esha Deol look-alike, she doesn't know A for acting and so-called Hero ?! he doesn't know the vowel "a" !!! leave alone asking for more.

When we the Indian people will appreciate ORIGINAL , GOOD, INSPIRING and INNOVATIVE Cinemas. Enough of khans, dhawans, kapoors etc. Lets be part of change. ( I SAW "TRAPPPED" movie twice , paid full. I contributed to a better cinema. Cheers )

Abbas Mastan the director duo are one of the few directors in the Indian film Industry who have their own inimitable style of film making. Though they specialize in the thriller genre but have occasionally tried their hands on other subjects as well. Long way back I watched Agneekal a potboiler in the late 80's directed by the duo probably their first movie. Though they became known for their suspense thriller Khiladi in early 90's and then the blockbuster Baazigar recognized them in the top notch category. The reason for this long introduction is to give the readers a pulse check about the duo.

Machine their latest offering is important in many ways as it marks the debut of Mustafa son of Abbas. So what is Machine all about? In Simple words it is a redraft of Abbas Mastan's most successful movie till date i.e Baazigar.

Good thought from the director duo as Baazigar started an era of Stardom for SRK. But Mustafa is no SRK and Machine is no Baazigar.

Let me give some facts as why was Baazigar was such an iconic movie.

1.Excellent acting by Sharukh Khan with good support from the entire cast

2. Outstanding Music from Anu Malik

3. Movie focuses on how the murder is planned rather who did it.

4. Very good screenplay

5. Compassion from the audience for an antihero

Machine does not have any of the above and fails miserably in all departments. The movie does not show any form which leads to a good thriller. Also some of the instances are very immature, like how do you expect an unknown lover writing letters with his blood and sending greeting cards in 2017. Very amusing in such an age where the social media is used by a youngster as their first priority.

The director did not care about this and demonstrated things that does not make any sense and looks sidesplitting. Abbas Muston did not realize Baazigar was released around 24 years ago and the audience taste have changed since then. So the plots that looked very refreshing in 90's looks very lame in Machine i.e is the concept of the silent lover and that too not being explored deeply.

Lots said and done I am so fond of Baazigar that I'll keep on comparing it with Machine as this is a badly conceived movie. Few veteran actors who use to be favorite of Abbas Mastan can be seen in this movie but they come and they disappear.

The acting is below average from all the actors baring the sole saving grace Ronit Roy who is good in a small but a significant role. Kiara Advani looks good but cannot act as per the demand of the movie. Mustafa tries very hard but fails as he does play a desperado but his actions are not justified and the audience do not identify with him. This was exactly opposite in Baazigar where the audience felt for SRK even though he was wrong in his engagements.

The college portion depicted in the movie is very funny and audience cannot relate with it. Music also is only cacophony. Even the remix of Tu Cheez badi hai mast mast the 90's blockbuster song does not create any impact.

Machine has nothing to offer it is like serving an old wine with bad packaging and bitter taste. Not a good launch for Mustafa. Abbas Mastan can be better if they move with time then being stuck in it.

It was downright painful to sit through this disaster!

No story, no performances, no relation to reality, and absolutely no emotion.

You watch some scenes, and wonder, whats the point? Especially when the background story is revealed, nothing makes sense in terms of eliminating certain characters.

The dialogues are so corny (half are Instagram memes come to life) that you applaud the actors for keeping a straight face through them. lol

I felt for the girl for a bit, but she is so disappointing in the ending that you're just done with all, and if they all blew up in the end, you wouldn't even bat an eye.

Don't watch it.
