ashdoc53 This movie looks like its been made for the front benchers ,so we decided to watch it from the front bench ........okay I am lying .......there was no advance booking done today ,so we had to take the only available seats .Both Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika Padukone are lower middle class Maharashtrians living in a chawl in Tilakwadi in Mumbai .Difference--While Neil is a Lafangaa ( what else ? ) working for the local goon Usmanbhai , and other boys in the neighbourhood including Deepika's brother waste their time horsing about in the gullies ,Deepika dreams about getting out of the rut of lower class existence and making it big as a skate-dancer...............until her dreams are shattered by an accident and she turns to Neil to restore them ........not knowing that he harbours a deadly secret......Deepika certainly plays the role of a tough-talking street smart girl well , daring to claim that she is the one who makes passes on her dance trainer because he doesn't...........and looks as good as she has in her every film......and dances great too.........Sadly , the rest of the film doesn't match her...........its rather mediocre......The Mumbai street language of the chawls has been a bit overdone .......Neils acting is just about okay......music is not worth talking about........ending is insipid.......

lprulez88 I was really quite hesitant to watch this movie at first.I mean ,it had bikes and gangsters and there was a girl.It was such a cliché at first glance,but since I believe that Neil Nitein Mukesh has always managed to amaze me in each and every film,I decided to go against my guts. And as usual I was blown away by Neil's performance.Yes,the storyline was undeniably predictable all the way but it wasn't that much of a cliché.There was still some very good scenes,like for example when Munna dunked Pinky into the water.Did I mention how good Neil is,he is.I think he's one of the most underrated actor in BOllywood.I really wasn't quite surprised to find that he pulled of his character with conviction.Deepika as the blind heroine also should be given a mention,To me, Deepika was always a pretty girl but she held her own beside the oh so amazing Neil Nitein Mukesh.Her stubborn blind girl act is definitely way better than the bimbo head she played in Houseful. I enjoyed the songs especially Man Lafanga and the stunts were good,since I'm no stunt buff(whatever you call it)and I don't think I should mention to much of it,but overall the movie is definitely a good watch.

aniray67 The album 'Lafangey Pariendey' has seven songs written by Swanand Kirkire and composed by R.Anandh, the famous ad jingle composer.The album opens with the song 'Lafangey Parindey' by Ronit Sarkar. The songs starts with an Arabian music and then the fast beat starts. It plays its role right as the title song. Then comes 'Man Lafanga' by Mohit Chouhan which has a soft track and is easy on ears. Mohit does his job very well. Next comes 'Dhatad Tatad' by Shail Hada and Anushka Manchanda. It is a dance music and the audience can not but stop tapping their foot with this cheerful song. After that there is a soft song 'Nain Parindey' by Shilpa Rao. Audience will feel calm hearing this song and probably it is the best song in the album. Shilpa's voice seems to have turned magical in this song. Then 'Rang Daalein' comes next by Suuraj Jagan. It is another song with hard music and the song is very youthful. Suraj does his job quite well. After that comes 'Born to fly' which is an instrumental and it is ideal for ballad dance. It has two parts. The first part has a slow, dreamy beat and the second part is a mixture of the beats of the other hard music of this album. The last song of the album is the club mix of 'Man lafanga' by Joshiley . It's first beat pleases the audience. The album will surely pass with the letter marks from the audience.

bobbysing Pradeep Sarkar,surprised and impressed many veterans of the industry with his subtle sensibilities in "Parineeta". And after his debacle of "Laaga Chunri Mein Daag", he had to do something out of the routine to prove his mastery over the medium once again.But after watching his latest movie, I was quite shocked and confused since it turned out to be a completely unexpectedly below average show from the talented director.In simple words, LP proves to be the weakest film of its entire star- cast and the director, except KK and Piyush Mishra. The way a good concept has been executed on the screen is not able to convince. The script is highly predictable wherein everything keeps on happening so easily without any hassle or difficulty. And the most surprising factor is that LP lacks the real emotional depth which was in fact the forte of its director Pradeep Sarkar.In support of my big disappointment from the movie, here are some points I would like to mention:1. The whole film moves at the same lazy pace with no acceleration of any kind, despite of the fact that its climax is written around a famous Reality Show Finale.2. Deepika loses her eyesight due to an accident and this serious issue of getting blind doesn't even get a single emotional scene where the truth is revealed to her. Deepika shows no repulsion from her side to her blindness and just starts practicing her skating again. It was indeed very shocking to see a serious issue of losing the eyes taken so lightly by the script writer and the director.3. The moment Deepika accepts her disability and decides to fight back, the viewer can easily predict the complete movie till the end. 4. All the sequences wherein Deepika is being taught to learn the art of looking without her eyes are too easy to believe and digest. Besides this she also learns the tricks so fast, in just few days without any severe training given by some specialized master.5. The reference to an ongoing reality show "India's Got Talent" remains the most ineffective part of the movie, in absence of any excitement or interesting nail biting moments. Further, the finale of the show featuring 3 guest judges,Shamaik, Juhi and Javed Jaffery is shot in such a childish way where the judges don't even get a single line to say and the couple is just assumed to be the winners. Moreover their trophy is also delivered to them by their friends in a different scene later on.6. The computer graphics used in the accident and sound training sequence around the bells surely could have been much better in this big budget movie.7. The movie finishes off on a very low note and leaves no impact of any kind on the viewer. Neither the audience feel emotionally connected to the characters nor they feel extremely happy for the couple on their grand win.8. Lastly the film was highly publicized in the media as a thriller with some dare devil stunts performed by Neil and other bikers. But the stunts are hardly there and it cannot be called a thriller from any angle. Also along with its strange title, several other elements in the script like the boxing fight sequences, the underworld angle in the storyline and the characterization of Neil-Deepika's close friends remain tasteless as some half baked pieces of the cake.Apart from these, the other two departments in which LAGANGE PARINDEY fails to impress are its performances and music. Choosing Neil as a Tapori was the biggest mistake of the casting team. Though he tries hard to look and speak like his character, but his overall personality doesn't permit you to believe that he is a tapori. Many of the readers, familiar with the Golden Years of Hindi Films would readily agree that using Neil as a tapori boy was just like using Pradeep Kumar in a role of a beggar. (The famous actor had the killer looks of a rich, millionaire person and nobody could ever imagine him in the role of a poor man.)Deepika also tries her best to put up a good show but her over confidence clearly shows on the face which turns her otherwise OK performance into an average one. A blind girl portrayed by Deepika never gives you any signs of grief, discontentment and pain which seem to be quite superficial. Besides this, even after losing the eyesight, her fashion sense, her make-up and her body hugging outfits questionably remain intact, which the director tries to justify by giving her a close female friend. The investigating officer & all the actors in the friend circle are good but they sadly don't get any meatier scenes to make their presence felt. So, it all comes to only KK and Piyush Mishra. But unfortunately KK is there for only 3-4 minutes and Piyush Mishra keeps coming after long painful gaps.Musically the soundtrack is not as per the standards of a Pradeep Sarkar movie. I wonder why he didn't repeat his earlier music director Shantanu Moitra who did a nice job in both his precious movies. Talking about the main story plot of the film, many viewers may find it similar to Rajesh hanna's "Dushmun",Gulzar's "Kinara" and more recently Anubahv Sinha's "Tum Bin".In nutshell, the movie was indeed an unexpected letdown for me as I couldn't find Pradeep Sarkar anywhere in the film till the end. So, you can watch it if you are a fan of Neil or Deepika, but don't go for it expecting a high paced thriller from the director of "Parineeta".
