Foot-Pathetic. Review on Footpath

The Planning -

It was raining at the rate of 10 Liters/hour/Km/Min and we decided it was movie time .We virtually had to swim our way to the movie hall,reached 10 mins late (we are not fish , we can swim fast , walk faster).

Bhaishahab movie...abhi 5 min pehle suru hue hai aur story maat pochna...Ok boss.The movie hall called Ram-bharose by one and all here had a pathetic sound-system and we had to virtually reply on lip-reading .So for me it was like watching a english-movie,saw 100% understood 30% (waise ye aander ki baat hai , not to be disclosed).

The storyline -

Ye kahani hai Sanker,Raghu aur Arjun Singh (SARS) ki ,which reminds you of the SARS epidemic,trust me the movie is no less. All three are childhood , footpathic friends ,bachpan ke dost .Raghu helps Arjun take revenge (khoon ka badla khoon) upon his father's khoni..later Arjun flees to Delhi .

12 years later..police still after him..hum tumko maaf kar denge but you will have to help us catch the drug-pedlers..Arjun wants to reform his friends who are by now big-time bhais..so he says yes.

A.S : Face pe maat maar, I want to die handsome.

Raghu : Arjun tu !! mere dost mere bhai..kahan tha re tu !!.

Senti dialogues & a song.

Oh yes, Bips stays away from her brothers as they did 'ganda dhanda'.Arjun loved her , bachpan se hi , probably because she was the only one around.

A.S : I still love you because there's still no one around.

Bips : Tum bade 'wo' ho.

Senti dialogues & a song.

Though Raghu is a trigger-happy guy ,uske paas bhi ek dil hai .He loves English Madam ('phoren' girl nahi , The one who taught english).

Raghu : Madam , ab aapko koi pareshan nahi karega.

madam : ...

Senti dialogues & a song.

Shanker lands up in trouble because of his raghu all the time kyunki wo madam ke chakker mein 'panga'leta rehta hai .Madam's brother enjoys watching 'Mujra'in beer-bars.raghu gives him a 'kaan ke niche' and vows to reform him .

Raghu : Madam touched my hand. Touch-me-not.

A.S : 'Haan tumne bhi pyar kiya'.

Senti dialogues & a song.

Police keep pestering AS.He vows to reform his friends.

Bips : Main MAA banne wale hu (Announcement of the decade).

AS : Mubarak ho !! phir toh tum filmoon mein kaam nahi karoge ab ?

Bips : Select , either they or me .

AS : Chahe hamare bachee ko marna pade i'll be with my friends(Irrelevent statement of the Decade).

Bips : Cry me a river.

Senti dialogues & a song.

Madam's brother dies of excessive intake of 'brawn-suger'.Raghu repents & revolts .Decides to bring an end to this 'paap ki duniya'.

Big Boss : Shanker if you wanna become the king you will have to kill your brother ,ye main nahi kehta itihaas mein likha hai , na koi marta hai na koi marta hai..

Shanker : Yo boss.

Note : We also have a super Big Boss, Mr 10%. watch out to find out.

Raghu dies. Madam,AS and Bips cry in unision.Phir kya hona tha, the usual stuff.

Pros :

The newcomer Emraan Hashmi is the main attraction and is the only saving grace .The movie truly belongs to him . He got the best part and did justice. Watch him out he is simply superb in the scenes especially with Aparna Tilak (Madam) and Aftab .The movie is avoidable but you can watch it for Emraan.Aftab & Rahul Dev too have done justice to their roles .

Cons :

Vikram Bhat was never a good director . He needs 'inspiration' to make good movies , remember Gulam,kasoor,Raaz otherwise he ends up making a 'aap mujhe aache lagne lage'.His direction is lacklusture and the movie seems like going no where at times .Nadeem-Shravan's Music is just recycled version of their previous hits.Editing is poor .

Mahesh Bhat rewrote his movie (he made a movie Saathi in early 90s with the same story , small-time crooks making it big,drug-addict brother & a friend trying to reform his childhood friend.Though Saathi was a good movie Foothpath is simply pathetic.
