Yeh Hai Jila Ghaziabad. Review on Zila Ghaziabad

Adventure is a “Broad” and for all those jumping at the idea of 36’ 26’ 36’ , I was just completing my sentence- it is a “Broad Term”. So I definitely count watching certain movies in this term too. And to just give it a little more spice 95% junta watching with me was “Gurjar” Buoys, Oh Yeah! Do not event count on the times when I could not differentiate between on-screen challenges or off-screen ones. It all Began from the Ticket Window, ridiculously it always does, as the girl throated in a firm voice to a Gang of GJ Buoys( will use the term in lieu of not sounding a racist)- This movie if for Above 18 years, please show me an age proof. They responded “ *ab hum saath main toh lekar chale na, par hum toh kabke phoot liye*”  She gaped looked at me with embarrassment and yet said “*par yeh jo aapke peeche khade hain yeh sab 18 saal ke hain”* again comes a response “t*een teen baar toh yeh moonchein ho liin*”.  Wo! So that’s what Zila Ghaziabad  is all about!! Welcome and seated as the Credit rolled in the preliminaries somebody throated loudly on mobile phone “ *Khambe pe se bijlee na aa rahee, check karwa, kal se band hai, kaun ne kaati, s****, m*********…*…”

When I had done my R&D before going for the Movie, I realized it was picked up from a True story of a Gang-war and the circumstances that prevailed therein. Somehow dark noir attracts me and to the utmost, reason being spoilt thoroughly by Sarkar and Sarkaraaj; the murky and definite pace of such movies, as the slow politics shapes in dark alleys and shapes into bigger forms. With a storyline which was definitely promising, the movie lacks a direction, and a thread to bind it. It goofs up badly in few places and the biggest one being – Choice of Keeping Vivek Oberoi vs Arshad Warsi, Its Warsi covering up for Vivek in possibly all places- Secondly The lackluster romantic exchanges of Vivek and the Lady in Question- Thirdly Sanjay Dutt trying a Dabangg or for that matter Dabangg 2 Act.  The Movie does have its disturbing queries and sub-plots, but they are not fine tuned, and by the time one issue could be understood, another one raises its head and then gets lost somewhere. Here is a cinema with most promising names of Indian Film Industry and with a strong storyline but a defunct direction and loop-holed script.

For the Music part all I recollect is the title song which will probably play in all the functions and baraats of GJ Buoys for long  with others whistling and shaking their booty on “*Yeh hai Jila Ghaziabad*”. To add the part when Sanjay dutt decides to have a “*Chhamiya*” dance and the whole hall shouted in unison “*ho jaaye*”.

My Enlightment is Complete!
