Spontaneous dialogues and performance of Anil Kapoor and Akshay Kumar are the only attractions of the movie Tashan, that lacks proper finishing in all sections or it can be said that there is no Tashan in the movie. The movie looks raw and the script of the movie is full of flaws though it later tries to amend into a meaningful cinema but overall the outcome is unimpressive. Tashan may be entertaining for the youngsters who are die -hard fans of Yash Raj banner movies but the movie really needs brushing up and improving in script, editing, direction, cinematography and choreography.

The story of the movie is about Bhaiyyaji who has the so called Tashan to learn English like the American President and he is expert in killing people. Bhaiyyaji gets coached by the call centre executive Jimmy who has the Tashan of making friends with girls. Jimmy was convinced by Pooja, to teach Bhaiyyaji English. Pooja has the Tashan to make fool of people around her and last is Bachchan Pandey who is another criminal who speak in a so called northern criminals kind of language.The movie is about how the four people who hate each other have to come together and be friends in the process to achieve their aims.

The looks of the actors in the movie are very different from the general trend and the looks of Anil Kapoor and Akshay Kumar match the role whereas the other character look uselessly made into something. The shooting locations and hairdo looks to be made to make the Hindi movie look like a Hollywood or a French movie. The choreography of songs is worst and the actors look as if ,finding it difficult to move their legs while dancing. Even the songs are not all entertaining. The director needs to learn a bit more of direction and the cinematography of the movie has no promises.

Except the performance of two actors Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor nothing is catchy in the Yash Raj Banner movie. Saif Ali Khan got least opportunity in the movie to prove his talent and Kareena is looking unfit for the role. The film has been made for a famous banner that attracts audience but this one delivers a poor cinema. Audience may go to theatres to watch the movie to get some entertainment but the movie is not delivering what it promises.The movie has not even been screened many in major multiplexes in the metro cities.

Rating: 5/10
