“TASHAN” – Unbelievably Pathetic
Tashan Movie Review
If this is a 2008 product from one of the biggest production houses of Indian Film Industry (Yash Raj) then I am afraid Naseeruddin Shah was right in saying that “it will take us 100 more years to reach the quality of Hollywood Films”.
If you can go wrong to this length with such an enormous star cast of Anil, Akshay, Saif and Kareena, then movie making is still to be studied much harder by everyone associated with this film. The film lacks in almost all departments except cinematography and Akshay Kumar. He has a few good dialogues to render but that alone cannot make you enjoy a flick with huge expectations.
The first scene of a car going down into a river from the mountain has very cheap graphics like that of a cartoon film. That itself was a clear indicator of the director’s vision. Every actor who otherwise is an asset to a movie is simply wasted. And Saif will surely hit himself thinking why he signed this movie.
In short IT’S THE BIGGEST WASTE OF RESOURSES AFTER “JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM”. I would say that even “Aaja Nachle” was a better enjoyable movie than this.
One cannot understand how and why this kind of script was written and approved. After the faulty script the weakest point of the movie is its music. Vishal Shekhar have given just some filler tunes to each song. The songs start off very well and suddenly the tunes drop drastically. Only one song “Falak Tak Chal” is somehow good of all in the lot. An opportunity wasted by Vishal Shekhar.
Regarding the continuity intelligence of the makers just sample this : Akshay and Saif are on the road in the hilly area of a foreign Location (probably Ladakh). In the next scene they are searching for Kareena in Haridwar and then back in the hills with Kareena in the dicky of their car. I am still thinking who wrote this.
If you manage to sit till the last then the climax is too long with silly and unnecessary stunts. You can see all the heroes walking through the storm of bullets not hurt as if they are GOD. Are we still seeing a 2008 movie with all these technical heights achieved?
So no more words on this pathetic and downgrade movie but a sincere request to senior actors from their fan.
Dear Anil Kapoor & Akshay Kumar,
If possible please ask for a preview of your movies after their first copy is out. As artists of such stature, you have certain responsibilities towards your fans and viewers. People still clap for you as you enter the screen in your first scenes respectively. I think this kind of movie should not see the daylight as it hampers the reputation of all associated with the movie, the actors and the production house both.
Rating : Not capable of any star (Sorry!)

I was shocked to see this.
Its bad times again for Yash Raj.
And the first disappointment from Akshay Kumar after a long time even when some of his scenes were good.
But the flashback sequence of Akshay’s love story was so bore…
Sad!
May be the stories of riff between the Chopra camp and Akshay Kumar are responsible behind this weakest attempt from the banner.
sad to hear this
never thgt Tashan will get bad ratings
this is shocking..
but still goin for the movie tomorrow..lol
Good review Bobby. I never expected Tashan to be so bad, I’m planning to watch this today with my friends, all planned. Will let you know what I thought about this.
I thought Anil Kapoor would be the show stealer? What happened to him Bobby? This was supposed to be Anil’s film!
Sean Trimurti was much bigger than Tashan,

Master,
Anil Kapoor’s all jokes and scenes trying to speak good english fall flat. The very valuable actor is just wasted big time.
I am shocked to see Fenil’s review with some praises for the movie & its music.
If someone likes TASHAN then there is no bad movie in existence. All are classics.
If a person can find good things in TASHAN then he is the most positive person in the whole universe.
CHEERS to that!!!
yeah it didnt look good in promos so it was expected…
OMG i hope this doesn’t go on for long yash chopra always makes A+ movies if this goes on no good movies are goina come out. hope next movie is a super hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I am really praying for that too….
We surely need to get good fims out of yash raj now.
Its time to deliver a comeback HIT soon.
when i saw the promos ,they were very cold.when the songs were out,i knew this wont be a OSO like opening as the songs lacked punch.
Then the IPL fever and problem with Multiplexes resulted in a poor opening.
Evythng was thanda with Tashan
