Ready

Yes, the film has it's funny moments. Some scenery shots are beautiful. If you speak Hindi, you will appreciate the language jokes. What I was shocked about though is the racism in this film. What we are used from Bollywood films is that fair skinned people are the good and pretty ones and dark skinned ones are the bad ones. Here, we even have European girls as background dancers to make it prettier, and real African guys in the beat-up gang to make it look more evil. The scene I walked out on is when someone walks up to a black hotel employee and tell's him "Who are you? Look at yourself. You're so black, that if they'd put you on national TV the entire country's evil will be taken out".

This film has no proper story, no structure, nothing unique, typical salman style...What's so great about this film? Why is everyone loving it? Such mainstream rubbish in the name of entertainment...Look at the type of films that release everywhere in the world!

Only this type of a film can do so well in India...Mindless, childish, stupid, superficial, badly made, cheap....Salman showing off his abs, no story, the dances were alright....But what was the point?

When such innovative, provocative, and unique films get ignored in India, films like THIS, Welcome, Singh in Kinng, Houseful and all the other "MASALA" Rubbish become box office blockbusters...In a land where their is so much culture, tradition, history, folklore, etc etc, most Hindi films are either copies of foreign films or mimicry of western styles...The worst thing is that the audience prefers such mediocre films over quality...Meanwhile, mediocre films are also awarded and given publicity on T.V...Quality is completely ignored in India and this film is a disgusting example as to how such mediocrity can do well...

I thought India was a land of intellect? Do people read in India? I would understand if such a film would do well in the rural parts, but even the middle class, so called "educated" public are going to watch this movie....

Indian cinema is at a crossroad of modernization whereby new breed of directors is taking Indian cinema into world platform. With big stars like Aamir Khan moving into meaningful cinema it is sad that few stars are coming in between development. Yeah I agree there are different genre of films which caters to different taste but there is a thin line between commercial and tasteless. While Dabang had something new to offer in terms of execution thanks to abhinav Singh Kashyap, Ready relies on orthodox potboilers which are on the verge of obsolescence. Ready has an wafer thin hackneyed story line which begins with rich spoil brat Salman Khan (as Prem) whose profession was probably "helping people" . and like any "unique" story he falls in love with beautiful Asin (as Sanjana) but wait like any original love story there is a twist in this tale. There are evil cha-chas eyeing for Sanjana's wealth and Prem goes on to save his lady love. In the meantime there is moral gyans of perfect families and all expected possibilities in an Hindi film from the 80s. It is sad that Aneez Bazmee scripted (rather remade) such a boring script only to cash in Salman's star status and sadly the film might become the biggest grosser of all time decelerating Indian cinema to the backwardness from which movies like Satya,Dil Chahta Hai,Dev D and lots of young directors did their best to change the notion of Indian cinema. The film trying to be a supposed family entertainer is full of double innuendos and toilet humour. In a particular scene a guy runs and in the motion farts out loudly.Can this be termed as a comedy ? or sample this one a boy pisses on the mouth of a goon. The scenes had nothing wacky in execution and it seems tasteless to me. Well least said about Aneez Bazmee is better with movies like No problem, thank you and now Ready he is epitome of mockery of cinema. Salman Khan as usual repeats himself and he was nowhere near his earlier Chulbul Pandey act which had freshness in it. Instead Prem is a typical rich brat with a heart of gold, a character types which has been repeated since time immemorial. Asin is expressionless at her best. The supporting cast involves some of the big names of the industry like Paresh Rawal,Mahesh Manjrekar,Sharad Saxena,Akhilendra Mishra,Manoj Pahwa and credit should be given to Bazmee for bringing out loud performances from otherwise natural comedians.

When the Indian film industry started churning quality cinema it is indeed sad to see few stars helping directors to go back to medieval age of meaningless films. Ready will be blockbuster but then this film marks the backward journey of Indian cinema for sure. Till star adoration is there no one can improve quality of Indian cinema.

Ready is a success only because of the 'presence' of salman..aneez thought that he could keep making cash using akshay,but since the people understood akshay is useless,'thankyou' flopped..now aneez is using the next mega hyped star,salman....result-megahit.. Ready was corny and had a illogical plot..some can say plot is compromised for the comedy but Ready has just one or two funny scenes....acting was avg,fans of salman will find his acting&comedy good,but for others salman is also avg.. Being a aneez basmi movie,the plot is made on the way..direction was awful.. The movie is a timepass,so leave your brain,heart and other useful organs at the door and then you can truly enjoy this movie....

"Ready" is the proof that Bollywood can never go beyond starstruck audiences, loud and unnecessary irrational songs, weak- ludicrous and farcical story , slapstick humor for Whistle-blower's rejoice, pee-break and ensemble casts.

Salman Khan was just being himself. Paresh Rawal did what he couldn't do in Hera Pheri. Asin was a waste. Rest casts were just for some ludicrous jokes. Zarine Khan was good enough for just a song.This movie was not a complete laughter riot, but very foolish in between. Avoidable.
