Halla Bol

Couple of good things and bad things. I would rate it 2.5 out of 5. Pankaj kapoors performance was amazing. Others were Ok.  

With Halla Bol, Santoshi has tried to go back to his roots and focus on common man's life that has almost gone unnoticed during the last one decade or so: common man visualizing uncommon dreams like that of becoming a super star. While My Name is Anthony Gonslaves takes this line and keeps digging as much masala from it as its director E. Niwas could, Santoshi takes a U-turn and manages to salvage his image to some extent. He has a very strong point of view, courtesy Jessica Lal murder case, plus a very good team of technicians. However, he lacks in face value for the film. Ajay Devgan as a solo hero is not a good proposition these days and even Vidya Balan who is among the top three heroines now, does not command a good opening at the box office.
