Tashan is for Tarzan ( and his Gorilla friends)!
Tashan.. A movie? A combination of random scenes? A read out of Hindi Dialogues? A wannabe fashion documentary? Or an explanation of Hindi movies for dummies? I still cant figure out.. Going by the shocked expression of 200 odd partners in crime (Crime being watching Tashan) sitting in Sterling theater, Mumbai, I’m sure none of them could figure that out too..
What the movie caters to is one specific type of audience.. With a character exclusively catering to this audience.. The Gorilla.. ( Aksay is referred as such in the movie) The Gorilla is a truly remarkable animal. It has extraordinary physical strength with an IQ above many other animals. It can show emotions such as happiness, anger, love, lust etc (Now that’s stretching it!). When the gorilla watches a movie like Tashan, It would love it, no it would truly appreciate the storyline, the clever jokes, the fantastic violence and the skin show.. It would understand the entire movie without a grunt..The movie as such is good, only that it was not shown to the right target audience. A couple of multiplexes in the jungles and guess what! You have hit on your hands!
With Kareena looking thinner than the horizon of the sea from which she emerges, the movie is also a good ‘Dekho’ for majority of the male population ( Evolved gorillas). But Akshay stole the show with his sub-human behavior and his ‘electrifying stunts’. Not only will he get Kareena in the movie but many female fans thumping their chests in the jungle multiplexes..
All in all in Bhaiyaji’s words: “ The movie is the most the Bail-tati (Bullshit) the time pass available to the Janta of the India”
“The movie may have come and led to mass intellect destruction, but that is what they (supposedly) call Tashan”
