Bangistan : Movie Review



Genres: Comedy
Director : Karan Anshuman
Cast: Riteish Deshmukh, Pulkit Samrat, Jacqueline Fernandez, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Kumud Mishra and Arya Babbar.

This story is about two misguided people, Hafeez-bin Ali (Riteish Deshmukh) and Praveen Chaturvedi (Pulkit Samrat), from a strife-torn land called Bangistan. In their excitement to serve a cause, both of them get involved into a global terror plot in Poland. Well that's quite a stretch! There is not a enough good scene where you can appreciate director's work, rather he drags scenes.. 

This film is full of exaggeration. Later this exaggeration turns into irritation. First of all, main plot of interchanging religion is totally illogical. Secondly, the selected duo are so stupid that even being on a bomb planting mission they agree to share a duplex type of flat, with unbelievably hole in the roof. They have a scene where a pigeon brings a letter, not sure which era this movie is from. Motel owner clearly mentioned that no animal is allowed but person takes that animal for a walk.
For me whatever solution they tried to stretch looked like a childish solution by the Bangistan Team.

Detonation of the bomb planned by Riteish & Praveen proves to be an anti-climax. The Bangistan film actually implodes even earlier. It ran out of ammunition halfway through.

Director does not know his craft for sure. 
Ritesh Deshmukh is a good actor but was not done justice by script.
Pulkit Samrat has done it well, as his unbalanced acting perfectly fits this flick. 
Jacqueline Fernandez is obviously wasted as a bar hostess Rosie. With nothing much to offer, her character is easily dispensable. 
Music by Ram Sampat is good.

Rating: **

DON'T watch this movie unless you are a hardcore fan of Riteish Deshmukh.
