Zamaana Deewana

There is not such thing as would be loved by everyone. Some might not love this movie but I did. Watch this movie with less expectation and I guarantee it will give you the feeling of watching something good. But if yiu are not fan of RH and Ravena , it would be better to stay away. Highly recommended, otherwise. It's a good film because it stirs some feelings of love, not only love but also friendship.

If only you can get past the farcical first half hour then you can enjoy the film!! It's a sporadically smart film, a bit advance for the times it was made.

Directed by Ramesh Sippy, Top Director of films like Sholay, Shaan and Shakti. The movie Stars one of the best actors in Bollywood of the decade Shahrukh Khan. It stars Raveena Tandon, who is quite pretty and their was not much competition. Apart from Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla, Raveena was next as the best. It brings back the successfully pairing of Jeetendra and Shatru from classic film Khudgarz again. It had a clever trailer that made the film seem like a sure Super hit once it will release. After all this plusses the outcome was minus, a big zero. The movie has such a bad script, its so unrealistic that it bores you to death. The performance of all actors were not so great, they all seemed bored. This is a terrible awful movie that does NOT entertain at all. If you want to see good films, you can check my other reviews.

I enjoyed this movie along with the cast. It had the right amount of comedy, action and romance. It does contain the "old school" type of aspects to the story but I find it fun to watch now since they rarely make movies like this anymore and I grew up watching them! Shah Rukh and Raveena had good chemistry, the songs were pleasant and the action scenes were plenty. I recommend this movie especially if you are a SRK fan or a old fan of Jitu and Shotgun respectively. Anupam Kher is also very funny in this movie. This movie revolves around the 2 stars Shatrughan Sighna and Jitendra being rivals who were once like brothers. The story unfolds to tell us what went on between them. Shah Rukh and Raveena play the children of each of them who are made to fall in love with one another in order to patch up the differences. At least that is the goal that Anupam shoots for and whether he succeeds or fails is the big question! It is a fun watch. Well acted.

Other reviewers provide in depth summary and analysis, and I think they do far better than I can. Another reviewer noted if you can get past first 30 mins, this movie is entertaining. I agree. Anupam Kher, Kiran Juneja, Shatrughan Sinha and Ravi Kapoorb were very good in their various roles. Shah Rukh Khan and Raveena Tandon slayed this film. Their challenging relationship made for a lively build into a very steamy romance. Both actors used their facial expressions and eyes to communicate without words. It seems impossible to doubt their love for each other as the film progressed. Having watched more of Shah Rukh's later films, I was prepared to be unimpressed by this pairing. And was I ever wrong. Better editing, cutting some of the early scenes and the one in the hospital would have netted a higher rating from me. Final analysis: I am glad I decided to watch this - kept me very entertained on a rainy Saturday.
