Zila Ghaziabad

"What a Waste of Time, What a Waste of Movie, What a Waste of Acting." I regret my decision that I watched this movie. Minus the Crew- After this movie is done, you will be left cursing two persons- 1. The Director. 2. The Stunt Director. Director seems to be overexcited in creating this movie thinking that audiences likes such ridiculous actions and the stunt director has a nice sense of humor who must have failed every year in Physics. Hats off to Vivek Oberoi for another Worst Performance. I wonder how that guy pulls up such dead expressions on screen and calls himself an actor! Paresh Rawal is completely Wasted. Sanjay Dutt is like nobody gives a damn to him again. Only Arshad Warsi tries a bit to impress all but in the end it is the whole group who fails. You will be bored seeing in redundancy how each and every member of Vivek's family keep dying and his red eyes filled with revenge until next day he is seen riding a Rajdoot or walking ostentatiously with no sense of realism. Also I have a severe doubt- Which news channel shows a gang leader walking with style? The whole movie was misplaced and whole audience was misunderstood by each and every crew of this film.

'Zila Ghaziabad' arrives late. The subject & the execution of this blood & gore fest, deserved to hit screens 25-years back, when such films worked! Of course, it has some genuine merits & admirable performances, but the storytelling is been there seen that!

'Zila Ghaziabad' is the same old story of a hero's revenge after the villain kills his innocent brother brutally.

I really didn't mind 'Zila Ghaziabad', as I myself am a fan of this genre. I loved watching such action-flicks as a kid & grew up on them, frankly speaking. But, for 2013, 'Zila Ghaziabad' isn't the movie of the moment. The Screenplay is strictly aimed for the masses, offering everything they starve for. Anand Kumar's Direction is fair.

Performance-Wise: Sanjay Dutt is a complete bad-ass & he's great fun in an extended cameo. Arshad Warsi springs a surprise. He plays the violent villain with ease. Vivek Oberoi is efficient, as always. Ravi Kishan is excellent. He stands out. Paresh Rawal is effortless & a joy to watch. Chandrachur Singh & Ashutosh Rana are effective. Charmy Kaur gets very limited scope.

On the whole, 'Zila Ghaziabad' is meant for the masses.

This is worse than the usual Bollywood nonsense! The screenplay was terrible, stunts were so evidently string-assists, Vivek Oberoi, Arshad Warsi & Sanjay Dutt couldn't act. Sunil Grover's acting was good. Some scenes felt like they were part of a TV show. This is a must "miss".

Zila Ghaziabad review:

This one is RECOMMENDED to different persons for different reasons: for aspiring film makers to understand how NOT to make a film, for aspiring actors on how NOT to act, music directors on how NOT to compose music and lastly for us, audiences to understand why NOT to go for such crap fest ..!!!

I normally don't go to cinema halls to watch Hindi movies because leaving the very few ones I think they are heavily plagiarized either from other regional languages or from movies all over the world. Well, today me and my friend went to see "kai po che" because Chetan Bhagat is one of my favorite author and this movie is adapted from his novel. But we didn't get a ticket so we went to see "ZILA GHAZIABAD". After watching 5 mins of the movie I realized why Indian movies don't get nominated for Oscars. This movie has a cast which any director may dream of.. I mean Vivek Oberoi, Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Asutosh Rana,etc etc.. either the Director is a new one and has simply followed the styles of other movies or the actors are desperately in need for some money. It lacked acting, direction, editing everything.

What hurts me is that the audiences was cheering the Ludicrously odd action scenes which can only be possible if the hero is "Superman". Same cliché, songs, dance, dialogues. Sitting there I can tell what will come next after a particular scene!!!

So when will Indian movies be ready for Oscars? Movies like Barfi (I haven't seen it yet) failed to even nominated for Oscars. So what is the meaning if we produce more than 1000 movies each year and not even a single movie get nominated for Oscars!!.

When will this change? It's the Indian audiences who can change this thing. If they are not ready to change their thoughts, ideas or perspectives, India don't stand any chance at Oscars.

My rating 2/10.
