Shakalaka Boom Boom 2007 (bollywood)


The movie revolves around two men with a similar passion - music.

AJ (Bobby Deol) is playing a ruthless manipulative composer, based on the main character of Antonio Salieri in the 1984 American Movie 'Amadeus'. He has reached where he is through hard work and dedication. He is used to winning, he revels in it and will never allow anybody to overtake him. He is jealous of a new artist/composer, Reggi, who supposed has more talent, but obviously uses the same composer and playback singers and is only marginally different to the ears.

Reggi (Upen Patel), based on an unsympathetic adaption of Amadeus Mozart, is a talented and upcoming singer. Young and naturally talented, Reggi hungers for what AJ has. Reggi works hard to alienate people and create enemies, then wallows in self pity when these same people are alienated and act as his ememies. Reggi is good looking, can dance and his playback singers have talent, marginally different (but not better) than AJ. Upen Patel just had a good performance in a supporting role in 'Namaste, London', so we shall assume bad writing and bad directing.

Ruhi (Kangana Ranaut), who has uneven lip collagen injections, is an aspiring singer who looks up to AJ but she has fallen head over heels for Reggi. Ruhi tells us that Reggi is funny, but there is not a single indication of this; as he is as personable as a stalker.

Sheena (Celina Jaitley) is a gorgeous and ambitious PR professional. Sheena goes all out to promote Reggi and Reggi treats her poorly then whines when she is alienated.

There is a lot of pretentious vain drama in this flick as the story involves a lot of petty emotions.

Formulaic bollywood music is the sole survivor in the film, as the unsympathetic characters self destruct.

This movie claims to be broadly based on the life of Himesh Reshamiya, but is shamelessly lifted directly from the 1984 American Movie, "Amadeus'.
