MOVIE REVIEW VALOBASHA SIMAHIN

Director: Shah Alom Mondol
Cast: Jayed Khan, Anisur Rahman Milon, Porimoni
Strength: Acting
Weakness: Story, Dialogue.
Rating: 1.5/5
Plot: The story of a love triangle and the events that shape their lives for the future.

Review: Jayed Khan (Raj) and Porimoni (Shimana) were in love with each other since childhood. Also living in the same community is Anisur Rahman Milon, whose father moved into Porimoni's area because of his job. Both families maintained a good rapport and in order to strengthen the bond, they arranged to have Milon marry Porimoni. Jayed Khan loves to travel with friends more than he likes studying. When Milon becomes a police officer, he frames Jayed with a false Yaba case and has him arrested. With Jayed out of the way, he weds Porimoni as per his family's wishes. Jayed Khan and his family begin to suspect that his arrest might have been orchestrated by Milon as a form of revenge. Meanwhile, it's revealed that Miju Ahmed's son also likes Porimoni. While Jayed was taken to court,he managed to escape from the police convoy and Milonis also framed by another officer. While all this was happening, Miju Ahmed's son kidnaps Porimoni but Jayed manages to rescue her in time. Milon manages to regain his post after being proven innocent. In the end, Jayed Khan is killed by the villains in the movie. After this sad turn of events, Milon and Porimoni manage to start their new life together in happiness.
The biggest weakness with this film is the story. Viewers will be quite frustrated with the way the story was portrayed as the ending is quite obvious from the very beginning, taking away the suspense from the movie instantly. This movie also marks Porimoni's debut into the film industry and it's easy to see that she will go far as she was the main attraction for audiences throughout the film. Anisur Rahman Milon also delivers a strong performance here, but Jayed Khan's acting skills need further improvement. This film is watchable if only to see the debut actress makes her intro into the cinema industry but don't expect a mind blowing story here.

ABCD 2

Director: Remo
Writers: Mayur Puri, Remo
Cast: Lauren Gottlieb, Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Dhawan
Strength: Dance Sequences, Acting  
Weakness: Story
Runtime: 154 minutes
Rating: 3/5
Plot: The story traces the journey of an Indian dance troupe, who come from the backstreets of a Mumbai suburb; their rise to fame, sudden downfall and then their heroic attempt to seek vindication by regaining their lost glory and pride.
Review: Song and dance is, needless to say, a Bollywood staple, but pure dance films are rare. Rarer still is a 3D dance film. But whatever novelty ABCD 2 delivers is only skin deep. The story it tells is as hackneyed as they come: the young protagonists, led by an inspirational dance guru (Prabhu Deva) who has a back story of his own, travel from the dark, dank school of hard knocks to the bright lights and distracting inducements of Las Vegas to bask in global glory.
All through this two-and-a-half-hour sequel to the 2013 3D hit, ABCD - Any Body Can Dance, the dance steps are dazzlingly dramatic. But that is the very least you would expect from a film helmed by a choreographer and featuring Prabhu Deva in a pivotal role.
While it might get a little cringe-worthy, it's still enjoyable in some parts. With a cast crammed with energetic guys who need no provocation to set the dance floor on fire, ABCD 2 delivers passages of stunning musical calisthenics.
Varun Dhawan is no mug at this game and he holds his own alongside the likes of Sushant Pujari, Dharmesh Yelande, Raghav Juyal, Punit Pathak and Lauren Gottlieb. The only non-dancer in the principal cast is Shraddha Kapoor, but she too melds perfectly into this cheerfully breathless world where everybody is a master twirler.
This movie is a must-watch for dance lovers. For general movie watchers, this might not be an enjoyable flick.
