Nakhuda (1981)
Far, far away from being a 'gem'.
A series of films produced under the YRF banner, including "Sawaal', "Faasle", "Noorie" and "Mashaal" were all huge flops, just like "Nakhuda". The plot was conceived to aim to be an offbeat movie. However, the actors do not help this to happen. Nor does the shoddy direction by the débutant Dilip Naik. The cast consists of Raj Kiran, Swaroop Sampat and Kulbushan Kharbanda. As much as Kulbushan's performance shines throughout the movie, the job by the rest of the cast emits the same dullness. The soundtrack album is strictly below average, "Tumhari Palkon Ki Chilmanon Mein" being the only memorable track. It was not a great idea to have an aging overweight Asha Sachdev to perform a delicate Mujra number called "Tujhe Maroongi Phoolon Ki Maar". It failed miserably.
All in all, it's best to keep this 'gem' remain unnoticed but might garner the interests of serious Yash Raj aficionados.
VERDICT :- avoid.
Yaariyan (2014)
All I can say is UGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Those 145 minutes were a total waste!! I horribly regret the 68 bucks I paid for nonsense.
The story was clichéd, phony and nonsensical.
The new actors are pretty annoying -- even Jimmy Shergil seems Oscar-worthy in front of them.
Deepti Naval was the plus point.
Cinematography + Direction + Choreography + Script = belch!! My neighbor walked away halfway out of annoyance. I too wanted to do that but I had a tasty tub of cheese popcorn to hog up. It kinda kept me engrossed.
AVOID is the conclusion!
