TASHAN is one of the weakest films to come out of the Yash Raj banner.
The experience with TASHAN is like, you enter a posh restaurant, waiting for a sumptuous meal to be served, but what is served on your plate is vada-pau. TASHAN takes you back to the 1970s Bollywood, when illogical situations, blood and gore, for no rhyme of reason, were the main ingredients that made the junta break into taalis.
Plot dead film
Stylistically, it is loud and gaudy and peppered with strange lyrics that make a mockery of Hinglish. No, this one's not really a film that lives up to the repute of YRF productions and can be viewed merely for moments of pleasure, whipped up by a manic Akshay.
No thrill pill this
I rushed to the closest clinic to seek medical attention for depression, brain compression and entertainment regression. The clinic's elderly doctor waved his stethoscope around and immediately suspected that it was a case of Tashanitis.
Hell Yes!
So all in all is this film worth a trek to your cinema? Definitely yes! Unlike another film that recently released and promised a lot of action but served up only style, this Yash Raj's flick promises lots of action lekin Tashan se!
The formula. The bad cinema
The illogicalities of Tashan definitely rest on a filmmaker's favourite explanation for a bad script - you are supposed to keep your brains back at home for this one. But as Tashan unfolds, you realise the makers probably expected every viewer to have the IQ of an imbecile and fathom every hard-to-digest explanation the film offers.
