ready movie review But here’s a word of caution. READY is NOT for the rigid detractors or counterfeit scholars of Hindi cinema who masquerade as messiah of meaningful cinema. They rebuke masala films, ridicule big stars, detest anything and everything associated with ‘commercial cinema’ — a genre cherished by a wide majority of audiences. They wrote off DABANGG [which recently won the coveted National Award], pulled down the super entertainer GOLMAAL 3, scoffed at YAMLA PAGLA DEEWANA [the biggest hit of 2011 so far], even panned the iconic 3 IDIOTS [which ranks as the biggest grosser of Hindi cinema], but these films had the mandate of the junta and that’s what matters eventually. Isn’t it? Write your own movie review of Ready.
Remake of a Telugu hit, READY is a traditional, Southern-flavored family drama that we thought had gone out of vogue in the 1980s. But let’s not forget that ingeniously crafted masala entertainers remain the first choice of an average Indian moviegoer to this day. And READY serves the same dish with a fresh tadka. Pack in humor, stir some peppy music ['Character Dheela' and 'Dhinka Chika'] and add the star power of Salman… the outcome is one delicious, scrumptious, yummy dish called READY. In fact, READY re-invents the much revered formula in contemporary idiom. Plot-wise, there’s not much to talk about, you may call it behind the times, but it’s a vehicle that showcases the star charisma and magnetism of Salman and the actor hits the bull’s eye yet again. He has a ball on screen and makes sure the viewer joins the festivity as well. READY is a full-on entertainer, a paisa vasool film that has just one motive — entertainment — and it succeeds in its endeavor absolutely. This is a Salman show all the way and even those who don’t hero-worship him will be forced to admit that like WANTED and DABANGG, Salman’s dynamic presence and powerhouse performance translates into great entertainment.
He’s comical, wicked, aggressive, besides larger than life and yet warm and real. As a film, READY is one of the easiest watches of our times. It transports you to a world that’s dreamlike. It packs one gimmick after another. Also, the dialogues are totally mass appealing; they are simply mazedaar — humorous and impactful, both at the same time. Frankly, it’s a film that guarantees ceetees, taalis and cheers aplenty. It’s a film that lets you into its world without hesitation and gives you a thoroughly entertaining time during your two-hour visit. Final word? If you are ready to discard logic and rationale and have a good time at the movies, if you consider yourself being a part of the mob, then READY would be the right experience for you. Go on people, go enjoy your annual dose of Salman Khan. The star performer plays to the gallery from start to finish. READY is outlandish and bizarre, but it’s tremendously entertaining.
