Tamasha

Tamasha (2015) Directed by Imtiaz Ali Starring Ranbir Kapoor & Deepika Padukone is a blend of emotions and laughter.

The movie is not an everyone's cup of tea. It's a blend of emotions (joy, sad, laughter etc). It builds up gradually and by the end you will fell in love with Imtiaz with this mind blowing piece of cinema but beware if you are looking for a masala entertainer with item songs, flying cars, action scenes, better stay away from this flick. You will seriously get bored in some parts of the movie but that is what the story demands. People will curse this movie and tag it as one of the worst movie of Imtiaz but I will just say that this is an Add-on in the list.

Ranbir Kapoor is brilliant in his act. He has enjoyed each & every scene of this movie. It's the magic of Imtiaz only that Ranbir can perform so well.Hats off to him for this remarkable performance. Deepika didn't get much to do but we can felt the charm of her on her screen presence.

Fifty percent shares to make this film brilliant goes to Ranbir & Imtiaz and another fifty percent goes to AR Rahman for his blazing music in the film. Every song is special in this movie ('Chali Kahani' is my personal favourite).

The one thing I liked the most in Imtiaz movies is the screenplay. The transition in every scene is phenomenal.

Go for it if you are really bored with clichéd bollywood movies and want to see an intense yet entertaining cinema.

3.5/5 or 7/10

I was damn excited for a movie with the deadly combo of Imtiaz Ali and Ranbir Kapoor including AR Rahman (cherry on top). I loved Rockstar, it was among one of my favorites in 2011. Which automatically made Tamasha my most anticipated movie of 2015 and damn was I spot on.

Tamasha is a visual treat, a movie with a PURE soul attached to it. There was a constant smile stuck on my face throughout its 139 min of runtime. Ranbir Kapoor's performance literally gave me awe-bumps (you know like goosebumps). Dayum, he's an excellent actor cum artist. Deepika was magnificent. And the songs, man. Each and everyone of it is bound to snug around your ears throughout the year.

Now let me get this straight, those who criticize this masterpiece are the same audience who disliked Rockstar, not because it was bad or something, it's just that they don't get it. They do not understand these kinda films. It's a piece of art. And I don't blame my fellow Indian audience to not to get along with these musical dramas, 'cuz they're way more inclined to commercial movies and the basic recipe of Bollywood masala crap. It's their comfort zone, and these movies make them uncomfortable.

Well, I'm shocked seeing negative remarks or even mixed reviews on such an extravagant cinema. But well, worry not 'cuz Imtiaz Ali's works are always slow burners and within a week or so Tamasha will begin. ;)

Indian audiences are so used to being force-fed crap that they fail to digest quality cinema. I expected a lot from Tamasha since the first trailer aired and was disappointed by the generic reviews i kept hearing from one and all. After much courage, i decided to watch the movie almost a month after its release and was kicking myself for letting grapevine influence my decision to delay the movie.

RK and DP have taken love stories to the next level with Tamasha. Imtiaz has outdone himself from a directorial standpoint as you will notice hints of Anurag Kashyap, Vishal Bhardwaj and even Fight Club in the second half. To be honest, i was never a big fan of DP but after Tamasha i cant ignore her acting prowess. What a stellar supporting cast. Piyush Mishra swishes his magic with whatever screen time he gets and inks his name on some of the most intense scenes in the movie. Tamasha has to be one of Bollywood's most intelligent and intelligently made movies. You can sense Imtiaz's love for street plays in the movie along with some of his own inhibitions being mirrored through RK's performance. RK is undoubtedly the best Bollywood actor at this point. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. He is not only better than any of the Khans (who have undeservedly ruled Indian cinema) but brings a sense of theater acting while carrying a money making face. With Tamasha RK is definitely back!

The beauty of the songs not only lies in the music and the lyrical quality but also in the timely placement.

Please watch this movie for a lovely cinematic relief..

Awesome true love story..I saw myself in many of the scenes ..the way Imtiaz has asked everyone to discover themselves in life was simply superb..at many instants in the movie I just wanted to stand and clap so loud and whistle to express how hard I loved that scene ..the locations were awesome and the screenplay also was quite different from routine movies ..there's a scene at last where Ranbir sits and narrates a story with his family , and at that scene I simply fell in love with the movie ..Deepika, my favorite, has once again rocked with her performance...finally Ranbir and Deepika stole the screen with their superb acting , Imtiazali has stolen my vision of love and has shown how my future should be...Tamasha on the whole has Stolen My Heart

Superb direction, superb movie, superb acting and yes Imtiaz Ali did it again. Not a Romeo Juliet movie like love, separating and then happy ending. It is different from routine love stories. A powerful message of an ordinary human with a powerful expression of unorthodox. Coming to cinematography beautiful scenic locations with awesome camera work.Literally an unconventional experiment to be watched for its writing & making !!! Second half goes for Ranbir and Deepika is cute as always.

At last these types of movies regain faith about Bollywood. We can also do it Hats off >>>>>> Amazed
