Hey Japan! Get Some BANG BANG! For Your Yen Next Month!

Siddharth Anand has built a noticeable resumè for himself over the years, though for me his sixth film, Bang Bang! will always be my north star going forward. A full-on remake of James Mangold’s 2010 hit action comedy, Knight And Day, Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif headline the story of a single bank receptionist whose haphazard date with a mysterious man leads to an epic runaway romance, shoehorning the hunt for a luxurious diamond into a pulsating, action-packed tale of espionage, vengeance and love. You can read more of my thoughts on it here but Bang Bang! thoroughly fleshes out every ounce of charm and potential of the original through big-scale Bollywood spectacle and thrills. What’s more, Roshan himself went above and beyond the call to perform the film’s daredevil stunt sequences, even before and after taking on life-saving surgery following an injury on set. The film was a box […]

BANG BANG!: Full Of Fireworks And Quirky Romance Anytime Of The Day

Lee B. Golden III

Director James Mangold’s 2010 action spy romcom, Knight & Day, was nothing special when I went to see it, but it nonetheless guaranteed a considerably good time at the movies. Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz worked awesomely together in the story formatted from Patrick O’Neil’s script, and so to see it remade via Bollywood, while nothing new in this day and age, still drew my curiousity. Hence, Siddharth Anand‘s 2014 adaptation, Bang Bang! arrived, and it’s actually my first dig at a film like this from an Indian production, music videos and all. The film takes its cues from its 2010 predecessor here with actress Katrina Kaif as the meek and stoic Harleen, dealing day-in and day-out with the woes of being a lovelorn and single bank receptionist. Following this, she desperately arranges an online date at a restaurant in order to find true love, and instead, greets a man […]

It's The Story You Wish Were True In The New Trailer For PHANTOM!

Lee B. Golden III

It’s fruitful to see the good guys win in a lot of military and espionage action thrillers, which brings a bit of peculiarity to Bollywood director Kabir Khan‘s latest induction into the genre. Loosely ripped from the grim headlines is the new film, Phantom, from UTV Motion Pictures and Nadiadwala Grandson with actor Saif Ali Khan and actress Katrina Kaif in a story that will otherwise grant sheer uncertainty to a compelling plot with plenty of intense and explosive sequences to boot. SYNOPSIS: Phantom is a political thriller set in the volatile climate that exists in South Asia. Constant terror attacks against India have left the Indian people feeling vulnerable and angry. The Indian government and security agencies are helpless as the masterminds of the attacks are out of reach. When an infiltrator with plans to attack India is caught, the Head of India’s security agency and his team take […]

The New Trailer For BANG BANG Will Slap You Silly And Blow You Away!

Lee B. Golden III

Director Siddharth Anand won over the appeal of filmgoers back in July with the first teaser of his newest action romance flick, Bang Bang. Penned as a remake of the 2010 Hollywood action comedy, Knight And Day, the film is being led by leading man Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif, reiterating the classic tale of a woman finding herself in love with a man whose bullet-ridden past will ultimately test her limits as they scatter around the world running away from baddies. Its Hollywood predecessor from helmer James Mangold fared well with me, personally, so I’m curious to see where Anand took the narrative in this his Bollywood take on the story. Of course, expect the usual song and dance routines as always, but the action spectacle, courtesy of Hollywood’s own Vic Armstrong, looks like it aims to please. The film opens tomorrow worldwide. In the meantime, watch the new […]

Director Siddharth Anand is looking to set the benchmark for Bollywood action, and the latest trailer for his newest film, Bang Bang!, is every indication. The film was a global production aimed at remaking helmer James Mangold’s 2010 action comedy, Knight And Day, featuring action star Hrithik Roshan and actress Katrina Kaif. Filming delayed midway after location shoots in Thailand, Greece and Phuket when Roshan underwent surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain before wrapping up production in Abu Dhabi, and now the upcoming long-awaited Hindi action thriller will hit cinemas on October 2. As such, the trailer has since gone viral this week and courtesy of Hollywood stunt veteran Andy Armstrong, Bang Bang! marks the latest significant move as Hollywood and Bollywood merge closer and closer with every film, showcasing immense spectacle and promise.
