Tamasha (2015)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

A Major Disappointment

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's not easy deliver the same character as per the script, Ranbir once again proves that he is the only actor of this generation who dare to act out of way movie like Tamasha. He did extraordinary performance in the movie and Deepika also done great job by living her character, here I also want mention one important is that many time it was happened in many movies where actor and direction, editor losses it's control on movie and then it's never meet the mind of audience. But Imtiaz Ali did best part on his end, fabulous story and excellent direction. This movie is not for those who loves typical masala bollywood movie, it's an "Art" who gives you chance to think inner side of you're soul and mind.

This is not a movie, this is a set of wings. You may pin these wings to your shoulders. You may leap off that fine ledge and plunge deep down to darkness... or you just might soar. Either way, it's going to be a beautiful ride :)I registered on IMDb just so I could rate this movie a perfect ten. Screw the bloody critics!

We often come across a book, that interests us, but somehow we are unable to get to the depth of it. Gradually, as the plot progresses, we feel a bit lost and we ultimately give up. Then after a few days we start reading it again, and the words seem to convey a new meaning to us, opening a new interpretation of the story which urges us to carry forward with it. After multiple trials and errors, when we get the full grip on the plot, we find ourselves completely immersed in it and in someway or the other we find that, it has been the story of our own life that has been said all along or that of a very known acquaintance. Either way, we start feeling connected to it. Tamasha, as a movie, can be compared to a book of this kind. The greater number of times it is watched, the more the feeling of realization will sink in your heart. The story of the two protagonists, is something that every millennial will find connected to. As far as acting goes, words really fall short to describe the acting prowess shown by the two leads, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. The varied range of emotions, that the script demands, has been aptly portrayed by them,be it the friendly lighter moments or the moments of loss,heartbreak, pain and self discovery. It has been carried out with elan by both of them. Though, this movie does have some similarities with Imtiaz Ali's previous films in bits and parts like 'Love Aaj Kal'and 'Rockstar', he does deliver the old concepts of romance, ambition and values of life in a very refreshing way. The story has been told in a non-linear style, which is definitely very refreshing. In some parts, the script has some flaws, which often threatens the continuity, but the story is enough to make you forget them quickly. And last, but not the least, A.R. Rahman's music, be it the songs or the background score, add a different dimension to the movie itself and helps in carrying out the narrative.

Be Aware --Spoiler Warning-- This movie is so bad that I created an account just to warn what little number of people I could. This is Bollywood's "American Sniper" only to be appreciated by racists hiding the real reason why they loved this movie. The reason why this movie has such a high average score is due to racism against white people and western societies in India. No, I do not hate the Indian people but every country has a fair share of racists, especially Eastern societies. This shameless movie slams the white European in almost every single scene. Its first scene in Europe is a miserable Indian woman begging a French speaking Italian for a phone call. He continues to decline her desperate request saying:'No money, no call'. The problem here is that she ends up begging half the city, as she explains later on, and no one helped her. NO ONE!!! The only person who did is a fellow Indian. OFF COURSE. Still not convinced? Let us try another scene because this movie is filled with racism. In another scene, they convinced random people at a restaurant that the woman is a famous actress and the guy is a famous movie director. The same people that wouldn't give her a PHONE-CALL invited them to dinner because white people are idiots who worship celebrities. But it gets even worst. He ended making up one of the most obviously fake scene which he is acting in the most stupid way, and not only did they believe it, they applaud him. Yeah right because Europe does not know proper cinema RIGHT?! Still not convinced? trust me the racism continues in many other scene like the one in which they make a bet which is the following, whoever succeeds in attracting and convincing someone to buy him a drink first wins. The girl succeeds in her first attempt but get this, she doesn't even bother having some manners. She simply calls the French guy; 'Hey, you over there!' and when the man replies; 'me?' she says : yes you, go buy me a drink!!' When did THAT ever happen in real life? are European women THAT ugly and do European men lack THAT much self-esteem? and what a coincidence!! the very first man is like that!! Trust me, you don't want me to start talking about that pathetic company meeting scene. A LOT of racism exists there. My problem is that even though half the movie takes place in Europe, not a single decent European character is ever displayed, EVER. They are either selfish, rude, stupid or pure evil as shown in the Company meeting scene. They should be ashamed of themselves participating in this slander. The funny thing is that the main actress in this movie is trying to kick-start her career in the Western White Hollywood. I thought they are a collection of human scum!! Why would you want to work there? Is it the Israelite that you like? The heroine is a foul-mouthed whore of Babylon and let me tell you why. Back when she was begging the man for a phone call which she never had, she actually cursed in Indian and ended the sentence with 'thank you' giving him the impression that she said something nice. She actually said 'you are cheap, I am a son of a Dog'. So now, every time she sees him he says 'hi, I am son of a dog' in Indian thinking he is saying something cute and she replies 'yes you are'. Very funny. She meets a guy and in less than half-a-day and she sleeps with him because why not?! Then she leaves him going back to India without prior notice telling him: 'we will never meet again'. WOW what a bitch!! The rest of their dialogue is just as stupid and low. Earlier when they just met, they get in his room and start a joke about her being a slut negotiating the price for her services which depends on what he wants to do. That's another 5 minutes of endless cursing and stupid dick and anal-sex jokes. VERY CREATIVE!! I couldn't continue to watch after 50 minutes because I was just insulting myself by then. AVOID IT
