two days of its release, the film has collected Rs 71.38 crore," the
makers said in a statement. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo marks Salman's collaboration with the director and his banner, Rajshri Films after a gap of 16 years. The romantic-drama also stars Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Swara Bhaskar, Armaan Kohli and sees the comeback of the 49-year-old Dabangg star's much-loved character, 'Prem'.
Catsuits, perpetual rat-a-tat-tatong of machine guns,
slow-mo martial art and the random placements of creatures, characters
from the games dominate.
Film:Resident Evil: Retribution Cast: Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Kevin Durand, Sienna Guillory, Shawn Roberts Director:Paul WS Anderson Rating: * In a virtual simulation of the United States, which is actually the
underwater base of an evil mega-corporation (which happens to be
threatened by its evil sentient security system while the world at large
is zombified by a deadly virus), the heroine Alice tells the pacifist
clone of her deceased comrade (Rodriguez) after teaching her to shoot:
“Congratulations, you are now officially a bad ass.” This, no doubt, must be what the fans responsible for making the Resident Evil series the successful franchise it is feel about themselves when they step out of the theatre. Detached from the Capcom
video games which spawned it, the fifth instalment of the Resident Evil
film series begins on a promising note (visually at least) to melt away
into an open invitation for scorn. The writing, not restricted to the
haphazard plot, which also manages to rip off James Cameron's Aliens at
one point, is largely responsible for this.
Catsuits, the perpetual rat-a-tat-tatong of machine guns, slow-mo
martial art moves and the random placements of creatures and characters
from the games dominate. The paper-thin plot involves Jovovich playing
Alice (let's not delve into her long and convoluted back story) spends
most of the film being pursued by antagonist Jill Valentine (Guillory), whose mind is controlled by the Umbrella Corporation. Playing a video game would be emotionally more gratifying and at
least in that pixelated universe, choppy dialogue delivery, awkward
emoting and glassy countenances wouldn't be out of place. (To be fair,
there was a lingering doubt in my mind as to whether or not the actress
playing femme fatale Ada Wong was a CGI model). Gamers, don't settle for this; there will have been a million
in-game cinematics more moving than this tripe. Casual viewers, do not
subject yourself to Resident Evil: Retribution lest you emerge as brain-dead as the creatures in it.
The youngest son of an alcoholic former
boxer returns home, where he's trained by his father for competition in a
mixed martial arts tournament - a path that puts the fighter on a
collision course with his estranged, older brother.
