Excellent but underrated film

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Force is a movie for the die hard fans of John. Apart from that it doesn't give any treat for the viewers when compared to the original. Even the hit song Khwaabo Khwaabo was poorly choreographed and not up to the mark cinematography. The highlight of the movie are 2 things. 1- John Abraham and his stunning body and looks. 2- the villain. He is the mystery unearthed through this latest flick of John Abraham. The villain should have been involved in more stunt sequences which would have been a treat to watch. Jenelia does not look like a match for John Abraham. The movie is not a waste of time but definitely a waste of money.

Following the latest trend of south remakes here is another action film, which is the Bollywood avatar of the Tamil Hit KAAKHA KAAKHA released years back in 2003. Looking at its promos, I did have my doubts about FORCE but after watching it I was seriously thinking that, What they really found in the Original, which forced them to remake it in Hindi?Probably the makers had Salman's success with his south action remakes in mind (WANTED, BODYGUARD) and then just searched for another action HIT to be remade as soon as possible to encase the ongoing trend. Now as Ajay was also doing his SINGHAM (again a remake), therefore the next best man with a well worked upon body, John Abraham was engaged to do all the similar action sequences like lifting a 120kg Bike and throwing it on the villains.But the absurdity doesn't end here. FORCE start off with a pure filmy heroic scene where John climbs up a huge mountain with his bare hands. The love angle is introduced exactly as seen nth times before on the silver screen. The writer and director try hard to build up an aura around a feeble villain which simply falls flat. The first half of the film offers only few stylish action scenes and a beautiful love interest of our hero in the name of a storyline. And just before the intermission the Bad Man gives a very silly reason to kill all the 4 cops in a team which you might not have heard before (may be that was something novel for the writers).Post intermission, there is just hide and seek going on between the villain and the cops which is neither exciting nor enjoyable. The game goes on to a never ending stretch and you just want it to finish off at the earliest. It's a pure masala film, I understand. But at least there has to be a story going along with all those actions sequences. Frankly, how many times we have seen the baddies going after the women in the cop's family to get their revenge and the cops planning to save the ladies along with catching the culprits. The last hour of the film serves you this same rotten content once again and the climax further makes you search for the name of its director.For the lovers of action genre, the execution is first rate and the Cinematography visually supports it real well. Where John is brilliant in these particular sequences, he still has got a lot to achieve in the acting department. Hence since I was not enjoying the movie at all, the performances of the rest of the cast were also not able to make any sort of impact to be mentioned here. However, I loved watching Genelia looking ravishing on screen with her great looks and heavy "Surma". Though she doesn't get anything great to do in the film, still I felt she looked better and prettier as compared to any of her previous releases. Musically too the film doesn't impress and as usual the songs work as a hindrance in its proceedings.The film literally sent me into a freezing zone the moment I realized that it has been directed by Nishikant Kamat, the man who earlier gave us two brilliant films, DOMBIVILI FAST (Marathi) and MUMBAI MERI JAAN (which also features in my Must See Movies List). Sadly, this one, doesn't seem to be directed by the same person from any angle.In short, FORCE was a complete washout for me both pre and post intermission. But the film made me think about the "Tweets" posted by many STARS in the previous night, when the movie was premiered in Mumbai. Strangely almost everyone shared great energetic Tweets congratulating both John and Genelia saying that it's a Great Film, they loved watching it, its fresh or powerful and many more similar expressions praising the film strongly.Now the film might get a good initial due to the John-Genelia pairing and it may also go on to earn some quick bucks, but If you ask me honestly then remembering all those tweets while watching the film I had only one thought in mind, that "Bollywood is desperately in need of some True Friends to tell the STARS the real thing about their films, as it is, without any sugar coating."

thumbs up for FORCE and john!!!! .what a great and amazing movie,completely international standard. i don't know about telugu version but this is the one and i think bollywood made that type of movie after a long time ,really appreciated movie ,story ,acting ,action,every thing is perfect and of course GENELIA so beautiful and showed every effort in this movie .ACP YASHVARDHAN s role suits him(john abraham) perfectly he is a muscle man in this movie and i'm agree with the statement "BOUND BY DUTY, UNLEASHED BY LOVE". OVERALL movie is not a spoiler ,good action movie specially the climax is very good ,must watch movie of this year

Yashwardhan (John Abraham) is a tough police officer working for the narcotics control bureau. He keeps bumping into a social worker Maya (Genelia D'Souza) often, and eventually falls in love with her. On job front, he kills a drug lord Anna (Mukesh Rishi). Anna's brother Vishnu (Vidyut Jammwal) kills Yash's team member to avenge his brothers death, and is after the rest of the team. The movie ends with an wrestle fight between Yash and Vishnu.Frankly, I liked it better than the Telugu 'Gharshana' according to the story line. The Telugu one was a drag in the second half, but this one had better screenplay and left out lot of unnecessary senti crap. Acting wise, Tamil 'Kaakha Kaakha' wins the trophy hands down. Both John and Genelia could have performed better. Music is a plus. Overall, a gory but neat film, and a decent watch.For the entire review, please visit: http://sasikanth.blogspot.com/2011/10/movie-review-force.html
