Ready- Movie review

Disclaimer: I am a Salman fan and I loved Dabbang, enjoyed Wanted and disliked Tere Naam.

So overall Ready is a fun movie that makes you laugh and leaves you feeling good. It is great for a chilled out viewing but nowhere as near the marvel of Dabbang.

The movie is full of double meaning dialogues and it definitely helps if you watch the movie in a full-capacity theatre to get the full effect. The funny moments are really funny with the need to hit your seat while laughing. Refreshingly the funny moments are not slapstick and in fact consist of a lot of 'clever' word play. The slapstick moments were really not needed. Moreover high emotional quotient of the movie was unnecessary and the climax looks better suited to a Rajshri movie.

For all the hype the songs are forced into the movie narrative and don't appeal much with the story. The choreography is also disappointing after the 'jhakaas' moves of Dabbang and Wanted. Moreover next to Salman, Asin is stiff in her dance moves. She looks awkward and uncomfortable in all songs.

Asin was actually not great to watch in the movie. Her skin looked awful- might have been the skin or the make-up. Also she was very limited in her 'masti' and naughty expressions. She should go to Salman for a few lessons for that. The movie could have done with another heroine.

By the way anyone know what Chunky Pandey's character was in the movie? He was literally blink and miss.
