'Madhuri Dixit',who doesn`t want to be her!after all,she is the quen of Bollywood,who ruled the Bollywood in 1990s!Who performed on ''Mera Piya Ghar Aaya'',''Ek Do Teen'' and many other songs!Today,she is married,has a son,but a movie which is a tribute to the legend is called ''Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon'',which has more of Antara Mali than Madhuri Dixit!
THE FILM:
Varma Corp.Ltd`s ''Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon'',directed by Chandan Arora,stars Antara Mali and Rajpal Yadav!The film is one of the most awaited and hot'n' happening film these days,because it has the name of Ram Gopal Varma as the producer,and everyone knows that Ram Gopal Varma always gives something different,yet intelligent movies!Weren`t ''Company'',''Road'',''Bhoot'' and ''Darna Mana Hai'' enough?The film also sees Antara Mali acting as madhuri Dixit,and it is interesting to see that is Antara Mali as good as Madhuri Dixit!With all such high expectations,the film does live upto its expectations!
THE CHARACTERS AND PERFORMANCES:
1.Chutki(Antara Mali):''She knew acting.....she knew dancing.....but she didn`t know bollywood''!Chutki is a born star or should I say Madhuri Dixit?She wants to fulfill her dream and that is of being Madhuri Dixit,her favourite personality!Everyone in her village calls her Madhuri Dixit and says that she is Madhuri dixit,on which she is very proud of herself!She takes the decision of going to Mumbai and being an actress but everyone laughs at her!Antara Mali is back,without showing her skin but with showing her acting skills and her potential of becoming Madhuri Dixit!How she shows the excitement on Chutki`s face when she arrives with lots of dreams in her eyes to Mumbai,and how she shows the disappointment of Chutki when she is rejected by filmmakers,is simply beautiful!She gels alongwith the character of Chutki very well!Also,she really makes you remember Madhuri Dixit,because she copies her so well!Antara mali has also performed on hit songs of Madhuri Dixit like ''Ek Do Teen'' and the cute ''Maar Dala'' sequence!All in all,this is a complete Antara Mali film!
2.Raja(Rajpal Yadav):Chutki is married to Raja and Chutki takes full advantage of this thing!Raja is a very innocent person,who is completely in love with Chutki!He supports Chutki to be an actress and so,goes to Mumbai with her!Rajpal Yadav,is also brilliant,in a role,which gives him ample scope to perform!He looks what he is playing-an innocent person,with oil on his hair and supporting chutki!No one else could have portrayed Raja like,Rajpal yadav did!A performance to look out for!
Raman Trikha gives a very natural performance as Romi,who tries to impress chutki!Govind namdeo is his usual self!Sudhir Pandey is alright!Others are also good,in their respective roles!
THE STORY:
There are so many wishes people want to make,like in the trailors a girl used to say,''Main Sachin Tendulkar Banna Chahti Hoon'',a rickshaw driver used to say ''Main Shahrukh Khan Banna Chahta Hoon'',or a lady used to say ''Main Lata Mangeshkar Banna Chahti Hoon''!Similarly,there is a girl called chutki,who lives in a village and she wants to be,the Bollywood actress,Madhuri Dixit!She is not the type of girl who just says so,but she also,dares to fulfill her dream!She goes to Mumbai,with raja,the one with whom she is married!There,she wants to be an actress,and Raja supports her at every step!Now,everyone makes fun of her,like rickshaw drivers or the studio guards!No filmmaker gives her a chance,except for one!That filmmaker,has to make a C-grade film,''Roshni'' consisting all the duplicates of Bollywood stars(like Shahrukh Khan,Dilip Kumar,Amitabh Bachchan,Hrithik Roshan,Vinod Khanna etc.)!So,Chutki is given the role of Roshni (or Madhuri`s duplicate),and she changes her hairstyle for that role!
THE WORK OF THE CREW:
Chandan Arora`s direction is simply superb!All the scenes,be it where chutki arrives in Mumbai,or some comedy scenes,are very well-executed!Screenplay is very gripping,and makes the film give a natural feeling!The film isn`t exaggerated at all!Editing is crisp,and the film moves fast!Cinematography is wonderful!Amar mohile`s music sutis well,with the film,like the title song ''Tu Ban Jayegi madhuri'' and also the song ''Tumse Mili Nazar'',comes just at the right time!
ON THE WHOLE:
''Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon'',is different,entertaining,funny,realistic and above and all,a film which lives upto its expectations!Varma Corp.Ltd comes up again with something different yet entertaining!I seriously recommend this movie to everyone and also to Madhuri dixit!She should also see the movie!
