BHINDI BAAZAAR INC. - Movie Review : It teaches all the makers a valuable lesson that "Masterpieces cannot be made deliberately, but they get into existence just BY CHANCE." (Review By Bobby Sing) |
In the present times, amidst so many classic underworld films, if a director still chooses to make his project on the subject of Gangsters and Gang wars, then he has already taken his first step towards a disaster. Ranging from the cult SATYA to the latest ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAI, the viewers have seen so much of this overused stuff that it is now extremely difficult to impress them once again with all similar kind of content. And that’s exactly the main problem with BHINDI BAAZAAR INC. since the film has simply got nothing new for the viewers in its over lengthy duration.
Right from its first scene, its entirely predictable and hugely tiring to see all those repetitive scenes, seen numerous times before played by different actors in distinctive movies. In addition to this the film has a major problem in its performances particularly in the male department. Apart from the three veterans Kay Kay, Piyush Sharma and Pawan Malhotra almost all in the remaining cast have performed a little over the top as if they are really a part of something big being made by the director. In fact, from the start itself the director seems to be hugely in love with his project and in this over enthusiastic state he goes on to shoot many arrogant kind of sequences which completely fall flat. For example, at one side we are shown Pawan Malhotra as a BIG DON of the area and on the other hand we are introduced with his boys who are just small Pocket-maars operating in the BEST buses. Really a great thought put in by the director and his writers.
Putting it differently, in BBI we get to see all old and over-cooked stuff which neither looks very good nor tastes better than all those previous HITS offered to us in the same genre. The makers very shamelessly try to use almost everything to make it a worth watching movie like double meaning dialogues, use of eunuchs to generate some laughter, girls using their body to win over the Dons and much more but sadly nothing works at all in the movie. However the only novel thing in the film is that this time, the wife of the BIG DON also goes on to murder her cousin justifying her own status of the Don’s wife.
In the performance department, Pawan, Kay Kay, Piyush and Deepti Naval, all are fine in their routine roles, written without any newly added perspective. Giving it a second thought I also feel as if all these veterans remain under-utilised in the film which is a indicative failure for its director and writers. Surprisingly there is Jackie Shroff too in a cameo and he looks great on the screen but is wasted. The debutant Gautham is ok but Prashant Narayana keeps hanging on the thin line between acting and over-acting. So he should urgently take an alarming note of that. The two girls Shilpa Shukla & Shweta Verma get nothing more to do other than abusing or showing off their bodies. Musically, the 2 short versions of its songs go un-noticed and the cinematography captures the outdoors-slums well but I felt the background score a bit loud and again over-done.
On a closing note, I strongly feel that BHINDI BAAZAAR INC. simply teaches all the young film-makers a valuable lesson that “Masterpieces cannot be made deliberately, but they get into existence just BY CHANCE with the un-intentional efforts of a talented team put together.” So if any director starts directing his project with a vision of making it a Classic or A New Milestone then he has just taken his very first step as WRONG. Even Ram Gopal Verma didn’t know what kind of epic he was making as SATYA and even Manoj Bajpai didn’t have the faintest idea of how big he’s gonna be as Bhiku Matrey in the History of Bollywood.
But that’s what Film-making is. Here masterpieces get made while having fun on the shoots and flops are produced in the attempt of creating Classics. And that’s my conclusion about BHINDI BAAZAAR INC.

masterpieces are not made deliberately they get into existence just by chance. latest example for the above quote is the famous kissing scene in vancouver canada. it just happened and the shot was a masterpiece. couple was unaware of the picture being taken. check out the link below:::

Awww Bobby Ji sometimes I feel sorry that as a reviewer you have to take the pain of sitting through all these rubbish.
manish bhardwaj
@ anirban totally agreed with you. not only the pain of sitting but also spending money on all those stuffs.
Bobby Sing
Thanks Anirban and Manish for your kind concern. Whereas financial loss is concerned, thankfully till now it was taken care by my associate website www.chakpak.com, which featured me as their OFFICIAL REVIEWER. But I dont know about the future. However sometimes its not the money but I do feel the loss of TIME which I could have spent on writing more on this site about all those pending articles which I have in mind about movies and the world of cinema. Anyway lets take it sportingly and Keep Enjoying! Cheers!

Bobby Sing
Yes Manish, its a good video revealing the actual side of the things but the song in the last is Rahman's own song along with Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Saab. Cheers!
