Ajay Devgan’s film ‘Singham Again’ is currently in theatres. Along with this, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is also going on. Its director is Anees Bazmee. The clash of both the films was much talked about. Now Ajay Devgan’s film ‘Naam’ directed by Anees Bazmee has hit the theatres. Isn’t it a funny thing? Another interesting thing is that the film remained pending for 20 years. Now it has been finally brought. For now let’s move towards the good and bad things about our ‘name’.
This is Anees Bazmee’s film from the era when he made killer thrillers like Deewangi. However, when I later came to know that it was a remake, I was very sad. What I mean to say is that Anees used to make good films at that time. What name is among them? Let us tell.
Is this Amar or Michael?
This is the story of professional killer Amar Kumar alias Michael. He loses his memory in an accident. As he goes back into his memory lane, things take a turn for the worse. It means that he has a new life after memory loss. He has got married. He has a daughter. He is a big businessman. But he is not aware of his past. Some people are hell-bent on killing Michael. Means the police is also after him. Criminals are also after him. Amar has no idea why this is happening to him!
This place defeats the ‘name’
Since the making of this film started in 2004. In such a situation, it cannot be competed with today’s films. It cannot be seen through new glasses. Will have to look through old glasses only. The film is fine in terms of story. The screenplay is also ok-ok. The execution is not very good. But according to 2004-06, this is a fine film. Now this release is happening after twenty years, this is its misfortune. Perhaps had it been released at that time, it would have got a decent audience.
climax is too long
There is a lot of fakeness in the ‘name’. Looks like fake blood. Many dialogues are very cliche. Like I won’t let you die, no nothing can happen to you. But one does not get bored watching the picture. Something new keeps happening continuously. The film is fast paced. Yes, its speed slows down towards the end. It seems like the climax has been dragged out. A climax of twenty minutes can be completed in just five minutes.
Ajay Devgan and his old style
Seeing Ajay Devgan in the film, Ajay of ‘Gangajal’ comes to mind. The only difference is that here he was a criminal and in Gangajal he was a policeman. Although here too he is not a criminal, rest of you are sensible. Will not give spoilers. It is fun to see Ajay Devgan in the old style. Similarly, walking with a crooked neck. I swear, when he shoots in such a deadly manner, I feel happy. Apart from this, actors like Rajpal Yadav and Vijay Raj are also a part of the film. Rajpal Yadav has the same ‘Dhol’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ type character. The poor people get into unnecessary trouble, keep getting beaten, but the fun is complete. Bhumika Chawla reminds me of ‘Tere Naam’. Seeing their tearful eyes, one feels pity for them. Rahul Dev is in the film. If you have seen Sunny Deol’s ‘Champion’, here too Rahul is in a similar avatar. Actors like Yashpal Sharma and Sameera Reddy are also in the film. Overall, the actors have lived up to the acting expectations. The acting of many people is also artificial. But it is not his fault, it is the director’s.
Songs are like meteorites!
Anees Bazmee has made it as good as he thinks. It’s just that there’s a little more of the nineties vibe in it. Many things are misfits in the film, like its songs. These are songs without any meaning. Suddenly any song starts playing. As if everything is going well on Earth and suddenly a meteorite comes and creates havoc. There are a lot of romantic songs in the thriller film. In a good atmosphere, thrill is mingling, some meaningless song comes on. I mean, the songs are fine, but they don’t fit the situation. There are two romantic angles with Ajay Devgan, which seem unnecessary. However, listening to Udit Narayan brings back old memories. The songs of the film have been written by Sameer. Music is by Sajid Wajid and Himesh Reshammiya.
There are many flaws in the name. But a picture made twenty years ago can be given this much benefit of doubt. If you want to see the old Ajay Devgan. Want to enjoy a little thrill also. You are fond of Rajpal Yadav’s comedy. So this picture can be seen. But don’t go in with too many expectations. But there will be plenty of twists in the film. I must say this, this picture is better than ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. If both these films are tolerated, then only ‘Naam’ will be enjoyed.
