Pray for Ranbir - Tamasha review

Ranbir’s last three movies: Besharam, Roy and Bombay Velvet

The good news: watching Tamasha will make you forget those three movies.

The bad news: You will now remember Tamasha

The bad news which eventually leads to good news: You will now watch Ye Jawani Hai Deewani. Watching YJHD is always a good thing.

This is a movie that everyone’s been harping about since time immemorial it seems. Everyone’s going mental booking tickets as early as nine and ten in the morning (eventually becomes 9:30 and 10:30 am if you watch it in PVR. But still it’s 10:30 in the morning)

A lot of importance is given those those three words which makes the world go round. Imitiaz Ali through this movie gives the audience the same feeling. But it’s not those three words that you’re expecting.

Ranbir and Deepika look good on screen. Duh. That’s why their movie stars? USKE BAAD KYA
You show us a wonderful place called Corsica *

*** Corsica [ˈkɔrsika]) is an island in the Mediterranean Sea belonging to France. It is located west of the Italian Peninsula, southeast of the French mainland, and north of the Italian island of Sardinia. Mountains make up two-thirds of the island, forming a single chain.

You show us a wonderful place called Corsica. Then show us Shimla. Then show us Delhi and Tokyo. Everyone’s who has seen an Imitiaz Ali movie knows how much he likes to show a journey.  You show how people meet, chill, dance and kiss, etc, etc.

USKE BAAD KYA?

And what’s even more frustrating is that you show a movie that shows a journey and you fucking take forever to get to the point. And after two and a half hours which seems like an eternity, when he does, he ends the story abruptly. USKA BAAD KYA? Like Ali bro, I just woke up at 8 am for this.

And for fucks sake Ranbir, can you please please please (that’s thrice now) not do a movie where you’re not confused in life. Where you are not trying to find your true identity. We’ve had enough. Watching you struggle is a much greater struggle for us. ISKE BAAD KYA?

See through the good looks, see through the exotic locales. And there’s not much to see here. 

You know how you get a Tata Nano when a rickshaw fucks a car. 

Tamasha is what happens when YJHD fucks Barfi. And then gets an STD.
