Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

silvan-desouza 1997 was a flop year for Akshay Kumar, he had almost 6-7 films and all flops except a cameo in DIL TO PAAGAL HAI. His films those days were mostly similar, more focus given to his brawn In 1997 He played a cop in 3 films, DAAVA,INSAAF and this film. TARAZU has a story as old as hills. Nothing new in the film. We have Akshay who lives with his brother and sister in law, The film starts with some cheesy comic scenes and then becomes an actionner.Direction is nothing great Music is decent, Akshay Kumar just repeated his patented act again, those days he was not as great an actor he is today Sonali Bendre is okay Amrish Puri is as usual as the villain, Ranjeet is good Kader Khan is as usual, Anil Dhawan and others are all okay

r_mantra_r Akshay Kumar paired with the beautiful Sonali Bendre & fond memories of the hit song 'Haseena Gori Gori' gave me a good reason to want to give this film a look.Expecting this to be more of an action film akin to Akshay's earlier hits such as 'Sabse Bada Khiladi' & 'Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi', it was definitely a bit disappointing. From its weak plot & loads of overacting to it's mediocre action & bland comedy scenes. Sonali Bendre's beauty is mesmerizing, however her character in the film is that of an atrocious young woman who traps Inspector Ram Yadav (Akshay Kumar) into falling in love with her by deceptive & manipulative means. Akshay Kumar is not seen in any breathtaking action stunts in this film, there are some bland comedy scenes but overall a mediocre performance with some fair action sequences. Amrish Puri as the villain 'Appa Rao' does not give any great performance compared to some of his other films, but rather lots of overacting.Mohnish Bahl's character of 'Janardan' (Appa Rao's son) is typical of his acting roles & some scenes with him can be considered a bit unnecessary due to the lack of a stronger plot.Kader Khan is refreshing to see, however there are no comedy scenes from him, as his character in this film is that of a serious one as 'Dr. Khan Hindustani' which he does play well.The soundtrack by Rajesh Roshan is average, with two notably hit songs worth mentioning:The first is the memorable hit 'Haseena Gori Gori' with vocals by Udit Narayan & Alka Yagnik which is a copy of Shaggy & Ravon's 90's Reggae hit: 'In The Summer Time'. Picturisation of the song with African themed elements & Sonali's dances & costuming are well done & remain memorable till today.The second is 'Ai Deewane Dil' sung by Kumar Sanu & Alka Yagnik which features a great melody & well picturised again with Sonali's outfits & dances being the center of attraction. Overall, an average film that you can afford to pass up on, unless you are either a staunch Akshay Kumar or Sonali Bendre fan.

superindrajit Akshay Kumar is a decent actor and no I will not deny this even if he has acted in some of the worst Bollywood films ever. It was the 1997-1999 period that was his worst where his films came and all of them proved to be nothing but back to back failures. The worst part is that some of these films were not even worth watching, I can't believe Akki signed such movies without even thinking how crap the movie could turn out to be.Taarazu is another crap film from 1997 where Akki plays either a cop, a reformed thug, or a good for nothing in the disaster Lahoo Ke Do Rang. Taarazu has him playing a cop and honestly, Akki does good as the cop though he has done it so much now. His best cop acts were from Aan: Men at Work, Mohra, Sabse Bada Khiladi, Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Sapoot, Rowdy Rathore, Khakee, and even the most recent Khiladi 786. However, Taarazu falls into one of his worst cop actors ever. In Daava too, he just hams and completely hams. However, in that film the story is better executed and Akki does better sort of. However, this film is crass from every single aspect. The story is not worthy of even being labeled as an average. The typical story as I mentioned in many of my reviews I don't mind it. However, the problem is that if the handling, the performances, the songs, everything is not up to mark, the movie is considered a piece of crap. In this case, Taarazu fits along with this statement.The movie has no absolute story, it is about an honest cop Ram Yadav who lives with his brother and sister in law. They as well as their son gets killed by the villain Appa Rao and his gang of villains which include his son Jannardan. The reason why Appa Rao does this is because he is sick of Ram always intruding in their illegal business. In a typical police story this is what always happens. The police officer harms the villains and their illegal activities. Lots of family drama, comedy happens in the first half, the second half is when the hero's family is killed and he is jailed or left for dead. He then seeks revenge and kills all the villains and in this process he may loose his life. However, these typical movies are good when their handling is good. Taarazu fails to even do this properly. If the handling was decent, the film would be better.Direction by Vimal Kumar is crass, he gives his worst film ever. This is probably one of his few directional ventures and it is proved that not all assistant directors can give good directional ventures.Performances are okay. Akshay Kumar as Ram Yadav does his typical overacting comedy in the first half and some solid dialogs. After which he is harmed, and then he takes his revenge in style. However, the movie is so crass that this style gets quite boring as the editing and logic even in the culmination and post interval portions is completely missing. Sonali Bendre in her only film where she is paired with Akshay does OK. She is again mainly used as a romantic and comic prop. She does a fair job. Amrish Puri as Appa Rao gives one of his worst villainy acts ever, he overacts quite a lot. Monish Behl as the villain's son Jannardhan gives a crass performance. On the whole, the performances disappoint.IMDb doesn't allow the vote of giving no stars but this film even if that option was enables deserves a start for having a few good action scenes.However, for the most part, Taarazu is a must avoid garbage flick with lots of horrendous overacting and a stupid good for nothing lousy story. Akshay Kumar you are the only reason I saw this film and I must say, if I wasn't a good fan of yours, I would have never seen such a lousy garbage film.

junaidrocks80 Inspector Ram Yadav (akshay kumar)is an honest policeman how have taken up on himself to eradicate injustice.In doing so he makes enemies namely appa rao (amrish puri) cause ram wants his brother Janardan (Mohnish Bahl) to be arrest for all the bad things he does but he fails to do so.Finally he gets a tip off that he is leaving the country in througth airport in a mask and he is able to at least shoot him on his leg while janardan escapes again but wounded.This makes appa rao rages with anger for ram and in answer to this he comes in his home and ties him up killing his sister in law and her baby in stomach with poison in front of him.(her husband has gone for a trip somewhere)thats make ram in a state of shock. When his brother comes to know about this he is devasticated and comes to appa rao to give him warning but on his way back he is also killed by appa rao orders.Ram discovers about this and then takes up revenge from them after losing everything.He is help by Dr khan (kader khan)and sonali Bendre who is also his love interest.The story is good and akshay does his powerful acting.Sonali does a good role in he film adding humor along with a good music and background score.highly recommended.
