Film Summary DLXII (Deewana) Part 1


A fun musical romantic drama you say. I bet that'll be good for a laugh or two.

Well I guess it is.
There's lots of fun singing and plenty of comedic moments, but there a bunch of really depressed people crying about romance problems. Theirs scenes that feel like they belong the Kung Fu movie but there's no fighting choreography is just one guy beating the crap out of another guy. But he's got those ridiculous punch sound effects.

And then there's this other guy play by Amrish Puri who I swear is just Scar from The Lion King but personified as a man.
And he wants to take over the estate of this house away from this family. Even though it seems like his life is already in a pretty good spot.
The guys already got thousands of dollars from his own businesses and he seems to live in a really nice place.
But I guess he's just greedy and want some more. Originally he was just going to take the whole thing over by having all the assets and property rights signed over to his son. But now he's resorted to flat-out murder and his son was going to molest Rishi's wife to impregnate her with his kid Because he believes that the inheritance Works in a really screwed-up direct fashion?

Okay so there's this guy Ravi who's a famous singer. He's family is exceedingly wealthy. He's going off to this town to perform a concert and while he leaves his uncle create the plot to take over the local estate and all the business associated with him.
It's this whole dramatic sting where the uncle kills this random housekeeper who over here he's plot. And you think it's going to be this big deal but then the movie just forget about it for almost an hour.

We have to go off to our main characters new location to fall in love with this random girl.

And it's a very fun but kind of awkward love story.
Where the girl keeps on insisting that she's going to kill everybody as either a sentiment being angry or incredibly happy.

I can't honestly tell which ones which and I was getting kind of concerned that you might just turn around and get stabbed at some point.
Lucky for her someone else will do that later in the film and she'll have to move on to romance number 2. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
We have all these fun little songs and this weird celebrity worship situation. The girl (Kajal) really loves Ravi's singing voice and she decides to stalk the guy at his house and then is able to make him fall in love with her in a really undetermined way.

Like she sprains her ankle and he carries her home.
That Parts fine, but then the next scene he's sitting there writing songs and talking about how much she loves the girl.

When it's been shown that he's only known the girl for a couple of minutes.
Despite this film being nearly three hours long. I guess they decided that we should just skip over the character developing and romantic Endeavour.
Just have the to fall in love already so we can have some fun songs. And I'm fine with that.

This movie isn't really about their love. It's just kind of there to get the main plot going. And you start to wonder if this film would have been better off if it was just two or three different movies.

Now eventually our lovebirds head off home and this is where the plot really starts to go off the rails.
Not only is fighting getting introduced into this supposedly simple romance story but there's a bunch of swords and a crazy guy with a gun. The guy you think is going to be the protagonist just dies.

Not before beating the crap out of a bunch of people "because I guess on his spare time when he's not singing Love Ballad or dancing around and enjoying life he's taking Taekwondo classes at a local dojo and learning to become the world's Ultimate Warrior'' He just takes on five or six guys with sword that once. And it doesn't even faze him.

And now we're left with the mother of the recently deceased protagonist and his wife cowering in their giant mansion while Amrish Puri Marchs his way on in, too execute the two of them in a fire burning.
The film has a slit problem now.
Because it decided to ramp up its ridiculous story elements to 11. I become a little distant from the main characters. It's kind of apparent that it's a free-for-all nut-so scenario. Now I kind of want to see the bad guy succeed with his plan.
Because he was already nuts from the start so really he's just showing his true colours when everybody else is holding back there insane behaviours until later.
But we'll see. Maybe our new protagonist Kajal will turn everything around and become her own interesting character.
