Zila Ghaziabad

The most ridiculous scenes in this movie are people from an uncivilized panchayat wearing branded sunglasses and talking fluent English. And what I loved about it is Paresh Rawal, Ravi Kishan & Vivek Oberoi with his charming style (after Jayantabhai debacle) and Arshad Warsi. Sanjay Dutt imitates Salman Khan of Dabangg and is a total waste. Minnisha Lamba is useless but Divya Dutta is good enough.

The script is exponential just like in mathematics and plot points are assumed. There are no proofs for the screen-playing events while the theorem is poorly executed. The lead role-players are like superheroes who can defy gravity anytime & anywhere. Director has wasted all his resources. I think he was in dire need of giving us this crap that he totally lost it. The same dialogs, the same item numbers (there are 2), the same narrow deep cleavages, the same unexposed love-making, same songs for every lead actor and finally, a predictable story... well ZG is not a shocker but it could be considered as one of the disastrous movies of 2013.

BOTTOM LINE: Zila Ghaziabad is such a movie, which if not made, would not have made any difference. Go watch Kai Po Che! It is much better than this!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? 80% YES

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".

"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.

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.

Zila Ghaziabad is a movie based on chess, from the layman's perspective it looks like political action thriller but the entire movie depends on how Sanjay Dutt plays chess. This movie covers everything which you expect in normal Hindi movie but fails to explain the mapping associated between the chess pawns and the characters in the movie. This is very puzzling task. This is where audience start loosing track of the story. A movie which can be compared to one of the Hollywood movies " The Inception", where people fails to understand the real concept. Action never stops until the movie stops. Even the action songs are awesome.
