Buzzing Movies

It always works when Naresh is supported by a team of 15 or 20 comedians cracking silly jokes and whacky one liners. If one falls flat there is other to pick up from there and so the rest of the gang keeps you engaged. Here the director seems to be over awed by his son's image and attempts to give him a heroic status and keep him a little above from the rest of the cast.

Fitting Master has it's pros and cons but the first thing you need to ask yourself is to why should you watch this film. If it is for comedy then there is absolutely none unless you are blessed with some sort of sense of humour. But if you are willing to go and watch it for a message then it is entirely your prerogative because the film is a recap of the sum of all the petty and serious crimes that you have watched on TV9 or for that matter read it in the papers last year.

The first half of the film opens with Naresh moving to a new town and bumping into the heroine. He is serious, angry, unromantic, focused, matured and is willing to reel off heavy sentimental dialogues at the drop of a hat to anyone whom he accidentally bumps into or seeks his help. He is a walking talking moral science text book who finds fault in the rise of price of onions to young girls wearing scanty clothes to college in a bus. Strangely despite his wise counsel, the heroine who is seen gaping at his wisdom never changes into a half saree or a saree or even a salwar kameez in the next scene or even in the dream sequences.

The director never leaves a chance to take a dig at everyone from someone erring at a traffic signal to the police man who arrives at the scene of crime after everything is over.

Coming to the story, Naresh is a gym coach who for some reason appears detatched and has something to hide. The director does a good job towards the end by keeping the tempo that way, otherwise the logic would have gone missing. It is later revealed that he is hunting for the people who snatched away the peace in his home.

While the first half is taxing it is only the post interval which keeps you glued that too because of a scene which we have seen countless times on tv. But this has been given another knot and extended making it into a full length story giving the hero a reason to prey on those men who were responsible for his sister's death. Naresh's sister marries a vagabond and despite repeated warnings she elopes and gets married to him in an arya samaj temple while a TV channel airs a live telecast.

The story doesn't end there, while their marriage is being consummated, the groom's friends record it and pass it on through an MMS throwing her dignity away. A series of suicides in Naresh's family follows and Naresh is distraught, vows vengeance, wreaks havoc in their lives and kills them eventually. Sayaji Shinde is a total misfit and makes a comedy of himself with his filmi dialogues that don't match him at all. The rest of the comedians are not worth mentioning about.

There is nothing new in the movie except for a hard hitting message that one should love their parents and give value to their opinion because they are the ones who know us more and want our happiness than anyone in this world.

The film has a nice ending with Naresh declining to marry Madalasa Sharma and he gives a sensible reason to do so. Visuals are bright and beautiful, the director takes you to Bangkok his favourite destination once more and gives his son striped shirts to wear and also some weird costumes for the first time heroine. She does a good job and can go a long way provided she works on her expressions a little more. Music is okay. The film attempts to be another Aame but ends up as being a little more than a documentary and less than a feature film. Parents will like it but might think twice before gifting their girls with a cell phone.
