For Ajay Devgun, U, me aur Hum is very important as Halla Bol has not set he box office on fire

His next release U me aur Hum is quite important for Ajay Devgun, as Halla Bol has not done too well at the Box office. I had seen the movie and though I quite liked it, it did not have the punch or the tight editing that could have made it a great flick. So it ended up being an ordinary movie. Especially as it was directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi, audiences and critics were expecting a lot more.

An unusual factor is that all the performances have been very good. Ajay has been execellent, Vidya restrained and yet commanding and Pankaj Kapur simply awesome. He is one under utilized talent in the industry. And the rest of the supporting cast were flawless. Anjan Srivastav as Ajay father, his mother (Arya), Vidya's father, his theatre colleagues and rest of the players. No performance seemed phony or out of place. Yet the movie seemed to be missing some thing.

Add to that an entertaining story, good scandalous real life sub-plots, and cheeky and scandalous references to the Bollywood industry, especially to Shahrukh Khan and other arty farty stars.

Now Sunday has been released and the industry is waiting for the results. The reviews so far are average and most expect it to do well (comedy movie na????) but not be any massive hit. So his next movie U me aur Hum with wifey Kajol is very important for him.

After Halla Bol, looking forward to U me aur Hum

After Halla Bol, Ajays next movie in the pipeline is U me aur Hum which also features his wife Kajol. This will be really interesting as they have come together earlier and have had good results to show for it. Pyar toh Hona hi tha and Ishq were big hits while a couple of others didn't do that well especially Raju Chacha.

I really liked Halla Bol as it was a well made movie. Though I think a lot of people including me were expecting a lot more from Raj Kumar Santoshi. The movie is not that gripping or engrossing like say for instance Ghayal or Damini. Not that Ajay is any less of a performer, but its just that the movie had great potential for being a classic.

Funny scenes were inserted in to scenes where the seriousness should have been maintained. For instance the conversations with the powerful politician. His side kick acts silly and this messes up the important scenes.

Even Vidya Balan has a much smaller role than her talent deserved.
