main hoon na

Main Hoon Na, directed by Farah Khan, is about Major Ram Sharma (Shahrukh Khan) who wants to ensure that the government's plan to end the feud between Pakistan and India, Mission Milaap (Project Unity) is completed. However Raghavan (Sunil Shetty), a well-known terrorist, will do anything to prevent the completion of Mission Milaap. His plan to keep it from happening is to threaten the army general's daughter, Sanjana (Amrita Ra). Major Ram enrolls at the college that Sanjana is attending so he will be able to protect her, but doing so he finds out that his unknown half brother, Lakshman or Lucky (Zayed Khan) attends the same college. Now Ram has the task of watching over Sanjana and getting to know his family that his father has kept from him. He also tried to make his gorgeous chemistry teacher, Chandni (Sushmita Sen) fall in love with him. The theme of Main Hoon Na is nationalism. When Ram is placed in the college he has all the tasks of protecting the general's daughter to getting closer with his family to falling in love with his chemistry teacher. But he always completes his mission no matter what the consequences. At the end of the film, Ram protects the entire college from Raghavan, even though his family doesn't accept him and was discovered as a undercover student and was told to leave. This shows that he would do anything for his country and family, even if it involves a duel between him and Raghavan. There is a lot of new cinematography that is used in Main Hoon Na. The main shot I noticed was the low angle shot whenever Ram was saving someone's life. The first scene I noticed this in; Ram and his friends are going to the movies and Ram notices that the terrorists are targeting one of his friends. A low angled shot is used while Ram is running to save his friend. Also, to show the impact of the heroism of Ram it was captured in slow motion during the saving. This mechanism is used a lot when Ram was saving someone's life. Another thing I noticed a lot in the movie was when Ram's love interest was in the scene, her hair was always blowing, showing her beauty. Whenever Chandni was in the scene the close up of Ram's face was showing that he was in a trance because of her beauty. Her hair moving continuously through out the movie was because the main character was in love with her and also, to show her beauty. I did not enjoy Main Hoon Na at all. I thought the music was way to long and did not fit into the action genre of the movie. Also whenever there was a battle scene the action was very unrealistic. I found that whenever someone was shooting they were flying through the air and would jump through glass doors. I also thought that the fighting scenes were way to choreographed and didn't flow correctly. I give this movie two thumbs or guns down.

This is an action adventure with LOTS of CGI and some fun humor and laugh out loud comedy running through it . I see almost two totally different movies in one with a common thread being SRK as the long separated brother. The opening consist of action and tragedy with an ex commando turned terrorist gunning down Military and tv crew gathered to discuss a Pakistani/ Indian prisoner exchange on national t.v.. SRK fatheR a superior officer who is present, is gunned down and is bleeding out in his arms when he dumps the missing relative bomb on him.... Rams father has another son and a wife, he ask him to go find that son/ missing brother and together scatter his ashes as a family reunited. SRK iS ordered by his Commanding General to find and protect his daughter (Sanju) at a college she attends. His mission is to go undercover as a student to protect her from a possible kidnap or vendetta slaying by the ex commando. He is than told as an incentive of sorts that his brother is at the same college as well. This is all done I would say in the first 20 min. or so of the movie.Phasing into the next portion , Ram arrives at the college by the vehicle of humor,dance and a small taste of the unrequited love that Sanju the generals daughter has for the resident rascal Lucky. The colleges Caricature teachers are present for hilarity and the new emotion of love comes out of Ram in some of SRK's funniest moments yet on film. This section of the movie never lags and is good story progression. For fans of Farah Khan there is a fantastic use of color and gorgeous outfits for the dance number when Lucky finally falls in love and the prom scenes and SRK's daydream romance scenes for fun are excellent proof she can direct as well as choreograph . There are some action scenes continued during the college scenario with everything from roof chases , skirmishes, bets , dares etc. Very lighthearted.The close of the movie is interspersed with family drama and overlays of hostage taking and hostage freeing. Very well blended moments and in quick spurts.( Oh the poor little sari, it sacrificed all. Cool scene. no nudity) . I don't think children would have a problem with this movie . For safe bet on possible age groups you need to view it first of course, but it's all action adventure style good guys vs bad guys.

This is one of my favorites. It is a celebration of a mix of well-loved Hollywood genres. You have the romance, the college with the adult undercover as a student and you have action - with a little comedy thrown in. The songs and dances are memorable and SRK is great. Zayed Khan is I think the best I have seen him to date, and Amrita Rao a very apt romantic young woman. Sunil Shetty as the major deluded terrorist who wants to invade the school and kidnap the girl, is so good he's troubling!There are many salutes to Hollywood cliches here and the music really grew on me (enough to seek out and download). There is some violence but very Hollywood in its action sequences rather than graphic and nasty.The cover makes this look old fashioned or dated (as SRK has been dressed 'square' as the older male returning to school) but it is very contemporary and westernized. Definitely recommended. Even my daughter raced out and ordered a copy after seeing it too so it appeals to different age groups.Looking elsewhere on the Net it tends to get above average . IMDb had it sitting on average 6 out of 10 out of almost 3000 votes (with a third rating it a 9 or 10 out of 10)

An action packed film, Main Hoon Na is about an illegitimate son who tries to fulfil a promise to his father, an Army Officer who died in the line of duty, to reunite with his younger step-brother and mother, who separated from the father due to his indiscretion, years ago. How the story unfolds is heartbreaking in its rejection, but hilariously heartwarming in the strategies to reconnect, all the while undercover the protect the General's daughter. The songs are exceptional especially "Challe Jaise Hawaien" and "Hey Ye Fizaei", the latter's end to the film. Only Farah Khan could think of such an ending. The lively background music makes you come alive. Playback singers KK and Alka Yagnik do justice to the song, as well as Visundhra Das, Sonu Nigam, Abijeet and the Sabri Brothers who are memorable in the songs that help make this a blockbuster movie.

SRK spoofs himself in this entertaining tale of a major going under cover at a college to protect a general's daughter and search for his half-brother. While the plot is paper-thin, everything else is over the top - especially the stunts and the evil villain. Director Farah Khan's dance sequences are outstanding, I adored the conceit that SRK's character can't stop himself from singing with his arms thrown wide open every time he sees his love and my neighbours heard me laughing at the Matrix moment. There was the odd moment when my attention wandered but over all this was good undemanding entertainment.

As the product is DVD, good(some times got used and scratched disc of movie like Dil Vil pyar Vyar but this one is ok). Product came in damaged and opened box alongwith pantry items. Not expected from Amazon.

*May contain spoilers*There are many things wrong with this film. Firstly, the overcomplicated plot - Seriously, how many plots and sub-plots do you need to make a good film? Don't ask Farah Khan as she has no clue. Too many plots spoil the film. The young female lead was only deemed attractive once she lost her tom boy look - this sends out the wrong message! Young ladies, you can only be seen as attractive if you conform to the norm! So wrong. The more I watched this film, the more irritated I got. I hope Shah Rukh got paid a lot to be in this absolute horror of a film in order to compensate for the fact it put a dent in the shine of his career. I also hope that SRK will be a bit more discerning when choosing future film roles, he should have passed on this one.I have grown up watching Bollywood films, I expect more than this poor offering. For those wishing to discover Bollywood, please avoid this as it is a really meagre exmaple of what Bollywood is. Want a taste of Bollywood? Try a little Sholay, old but gold.
