Siddharth Anand has done a tremendous comeback with Bang Bang and Hrithik Roshan has nailed it. No one can match his aura when it comes to action. All in all, the flick belongs to him as he promises the 2 hrs 30 minutes of death-defying combative entertainment.He plays Rajveer, a charming yet mysterious man who lives on an edge and messes with the baddies all over. Not for his own fun but to safeguard a 'Kohinoor'. On his verge he meets Harleen Sahni (Katrina Kaif) an innocent bank receptionist, who is charmed by his good looks and his exquisite style of dealing with the hazardous situations. The more she meets him, the more she gets into the entire chaos and trouble, which Rajveer takes along with him. However, she is unaware about the causes of such mayhem. Is Rajveer trustworthy or is he just using Harleen for his own purpose? Watch out to find it, amidst massive car chases, open shoot-outs, and other breath-taking stunts. Siddharth Anand may not have had a good past in his direction prowess, but he will surely be remembered for Bang Bang. However, Bang Bang isn't a perfect flick since, logics here are mostly dumped into dustbin. We expected the story writer trio of Sujoy Ghosh, Suresh Nair, Abbas Tyrewala would have learnt from the mistakes the original version suffered and they might not bring in here. Bang Bang occasionally suffers from its weak screenplay. It's sometimes hard to believe Harleen's closeness towards Rajveer who drugs her, breaks into her apartment, undresses her, shoots her boyfriend and is on a slaughter spree of innumerable people, which also includes government agents. Then again he drugs her, strips her off and takes her off to Similan Island in Thailand. And yes, the picturesque and glossy locations namely Shimla, Manali, Abu Dhabi and Prague and others change like a slide show and we tickle our heads questioning our conscious that how did that happen.But despite these blemishes, Siddharth Anand succeeds in painting it with the action feats, which were anticipated and expected to be rawTake that one where Hrithik Jetskis with a speed boat pulling along, or that one he is hooked to a sea plane, all of these and many others come over as a clip of exciting resumption of stunts. The F1 car sequences on the roads of Abu Dhabhi drives you crazy and gives you goosebumps.Hrithik pulls of every action sequence with finesse and with his moving expression he engages us. On the other hand, his gentle and at some time his rib-tickling attitude towards Katrina is phenomenal. Katrina as an innocent and troubled lady is great. Her fear and hesitation is amusingly wonderful. Danny Denzongpa as a bad man once is frightful. Jaaved Jaffrey too comes out impressive while taking on Hrithik. Pawan Malhotra as a government agent is good once again. Music by Vishal and Shekhar is already a chartbuster. The movie uses those songs on a right occasion and watching them on big screen is like a treat. Tu Meri and Mehrbaan are our pick. Bang Bang justifies the humongous buzz created in these days. Go for it as Hrithik and Katrina are in there to amuse you throughout.
