'ek chai lana' the last woerd of the movie..pretty much sumarises the feel of the movie.it's like mumbai chai, served in it's own thick glass chai gilas , complete with it's chipped edge , nothing pretencious , in fact revelling in it's unpretensciousness.. the tea in itself is strong in flavour and the masala of the masala chai is un mistakably mumbaya..
RGV gives yet another look into the murky wters of mumbai, for a man not born in mumbai, or brought up in it, ram gopal verma has a ' mumbai ki nas pe pakad' in the words from the movie itself..
the story itself is a sequel to sarkar , and this time they have named it sarkar RAJ , to remove all ambiguity , as to who the story is based on..
the story is something of a who-dun-it, with papa bachchan playing the much agrieved father turned sherlock holmes, and bahu bachchan playing the dumb side kick with her inane questions like...'bomb kisne lagaya?' ' kisne use kidnap kiya?' you want to reply back saying 'darling if i knew you'de be the first to know,' but the bachchan men have loads of patience for miss ash , unlike me.Ash tries to pass of as a business tykoon with her power dressing, but ends up looking like a doll with extra long l'oreal eye lashes, because ... [apparently] she's worth it!
antways despite aishwarya rai, here is a story , with a taut story line, with a scintillating cinematograpphy , and a gripping back ground score. an interesting set of characters.
the dialogues though are predictable, and cliched in a few places, jarring in it's tackiness, against the stylish goonda cum neta look of abhishek bachchan.
i'd say worth a dekko, good for a rainy day.
