Shakeela

This film is about the famous south indian actress "Shakeela" (only in south india she is famous) and her journey in film industry. This film is unoffcially the sequel of the 2011 Dirty Picture.

Now, hardly anyone from North India (or i would say 95% Indians) dont really know who Shakeela is. So, those who really wanted to know who she is end up watching this film which is an absolute yawn fest. Not read about her much but whatever was shown in the film is neither interesting nor inspiring. No doubt for me, Shakeela is not an inspiration. Giving in to doing C grade films just because you have financial problems is not a solution there are many out there who have financial problems but have never given in to doing C grade films.

Coming to the main film, the entire film has nothing interesting to watch. In fact, it gets even more boring as the climax approaches. Trust me, its so boring to watch a lady visit her old house, slowly looking at old stuff , slowly walking around the village and all these parts come in when the film desperately needs a fire-up. At the end, the film seems to grasp for an ending and ultimately ends up in no-man's land.

Trust me, there is nothing interesting in her life that could have formed a story unlike the latest web series "Maharani" where actually there was a motive behind everything.

Performance wise, everyone is terrible. Pankaj Tripathi is being a usual Mirzapur kind of Pankaj Tripathi when you had to have that south indian accent to your voice. Dude, when you show a south indian film, people should carry some south accent but nah! Here, everyone talks in proper Hindi. Not a tinch of south indian flavor that you feel from the actors and what to say about Richa Chadda, she's neither sexy nor acted properly.

Overall, i dont see the purpose of even making this film. Who even green lit this project is a question. Neither is Shakeela inspiring, nor is she entertaining, on the contrary the film is so boring that i had to skip to climax even when 30 mins were left.

Shakeela (2020) : Brief Review -

It is humanly impossible to make worse Biopic than this. A legendary film in the club of craps. You know i have a certain notion about biographical dramas that one should make a film on the Life of someone who could inspire you to do some real good in your life. May be that's why i hated many biopics made on gangsters and negative personalities where the main character is not a legend nor a good person. Shakeela was a very famous adult star of her time but i never expected any good stuff from the biopic because i knew that the main character was wrong at first place even though it had to give it a name of struggle. The film tellls you about her life in 124 minutes and if you could hold your sight for even 60 minutes then Shakeela is somewhere close to 'BAD' status otherwise even calling it 'Worst' is an compliment. It's unbearable, dull, scattered, filthy, slimy, asinine and what not. Every available adjective in the dictionary should be used to praise the bluntless of it. The writing is pathetic, the screenplay is perhaps the worst of worst for any biopic ever made in Bollywood history, the presentation is slummy and all the technical aspects are disastrous. What's more shocking is that the talented artists like Richa Chadha and Pankaj Tripathi gave one the most disgusting performance of their career. Whatever was the reason behind making this film, there cannot be any explanation to it now and if one is there then it is unacceptable. God only knows how Indrajit Lankesh even dared to make this piece of crap film-making and even released for the audience after seeing the final cut. Shakeela has buried all the fields of filmmaking alive and those who will decide to watch it will have to mourn. If there is any elite club of crap films then put Shakeela out of it and design one separate club of legends of craps and then throw it in there.

RATING - 2/10*

Not worth to watch, worst movie. Waste of telent like pankaj tripathi

What a poor presentation on shakeela actually it was a insult to her after she being fighting in her real life

it is created like a C grade film poor acting poor direction everything else was very poor

Tripathiji still steals the show the only positive thing in this movie

Very poor

Richa chadda is useless and don't know how to act , I don't know how she gets role , a lot of talented people need one chance but this talent less person are getting movies,
