De Taali

After a long time, there's a movie out which targets youth audience and is all about friendship, love. Yes, I am talking about 'De Taali'. There wasn't much publicity for this movie but it did good at box office.

The songs are hummable. Vishal Shekhar are slowly finding their way in my list of all time favorites. My personal favorite is the 'Maari Teetri' song. The beats are too good and different.

Story:Paglu (Ritesh Deshmukh), Amu (Ayesha Takia) and Abhi (Aftab Shivdasani) are best of friends. The story takes interesting turn when Amu falls in love with Abhi and Abhi finds his soulmate in Anjalee (Rimi Sen), the con. How Paglu and Amu save Abhi from Anjalee's evil clutches forms the rest of the story.


This movie is one of those that depends a lot on tight screenplay and crisp editing. Both areas could have been improved. However, the shortcomings were covered very well by solid performances from the four leading stars of the movie.

The movie has its own moments which I just loved:

1. Rimi Sen being tortured by making her watch 'RGV ki Aag' repeatedly
The director, E. Niwas was a former assistant to Ram Gopal Verma
2. Aftab proposing love to Ayesha
3. Saurabh Shukla rescuing Ritesh & Ayesha with the 'Jai Maharaj' slogan
4. Rimi Sen enjoying monkeys on TV with her eerie laugh

There's not much really to say about anything else but that some of the boring scenes could have been cut. Cinematography, Choreography - everything was just fine. Read Rediff's review here.
