It was a good thing that Tashan didn’t release in multiplexes. A hell of a lot of money was saved with cinema goers not having to fork out 150 bucks per ticket.

Single-screen theatres were expected to do good business thanks to the movie not releasing in multiplexes, but with lacklustre reviews coming in from all corners, no one really went to a single-screen theatre to watch Tashan. A few, like me, did.

I did because I am a hardcore (no pun intended) Kareena Kapoor fan. And I have to tell you, if you like Kareena even a little bit, go check her out in Tashan. The all new size-zero Bebo looks fantabulous. Some might argue that she looks a little too thin, but I for one am not objecting. She’s gotten thin and she’s showing off, couldn’t ask for more. Oh, and yes, the green bikini is simply awesome too.

But apart from her, Tashan is pathetic. You come out of the movie hall shaking your head in disbelief, wondering what such renowned producers like Yashraj are thinking. First a softcore porno flick in Neal & Nikki, then a nauseating Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and now a pathetic Tashan. Yashraj seems to have lost it; this is not what any audience comes to see. The movie was a laugh riot not for its comic sequences, but for its utter stupidity. The climax action sequence was probably the most senseless thing done in movies. They even popped in Chinese fighters out of nowhere so that Akshay Kumar could show off his Spiderman-inspired stunts.

All in all, watch Tashan only if you are a real fan of any of the four lead stars. Otherwise, it’s just not worth its while.
