Review of Billu

Billu (2009)
5/10
Irrfan rocks
6 October 2009
Priyadarshan off recent keeps giving nonsensical stuff After the last flop Akshaye-Paresh Starrer MERE BAAP PEHLE AAP he tries to remake a flop Rajnikant film

The film has a nice plot about friendship but the treatment is good in parts only

The comedy is now getting boring of Priyadarshan films as it's mostly the same actors(Rajpal, Om) or similar characters

The plight of Irrfan's lifestyle is well brought out but the entire Sahir thing is overdone, why does the entire gaon go crazy after him and imitate Srk as if they is no one else?

This looks like SRK glorification afterall he being the producer of the film

The item songs and other insider jokes.etc on SRK take a long time then required

The film also gets unrealistic when the entire village goes berserk after Irrfan This could've been handled better

However the climax is well handled and the emotions are well brought out

Direction by Priyadarshan is good in parts but overall not his best yet better then his last films except BHOOL BHULAIYAA Music is good, Marjaani, YOU GET ME ROCKING AND REELING are nice songs and well picturised but forced

Amongst actors Irrfan Khan is the life of the film, he excels in his part and lives up to the role Nice to see him do diverse kinda roles but he could've better read the script again SRK is his usual self and again he plays himself after OSO and the novelty factor is missing, yet he does his best towards the end but his wrinkles could've gone Lara dutta doesn't look a village belle but acts very well Om Puri is as usual Rajpal is wasted again Asrani, Manoj Joshi are as usual again populating Priyan's films
