The Expendables 3 review by ANIZ FILMVALA

The Expendables 3

review by

ANIZ FILMVALA

*****

Expendables is back with host of shining stars of yesteryear Gibson, Ford, Banderas, Wesley Snipes and infamous Robert Davi extending the cast for high scale nostalgia. But the missing core is the right amount of screen presence and strong lines to recreate the aura of the stature which they thrive for decades.

The mercenary group founder Barney Ross [Sylvester Stallone] and his team known as "The Expendables" is in clash with coldblooded arms dealer Conrad Stonebanks [Gibson] this time headed by Max Drummer [Harrison Ford] a CIA operative. The Expendables are on a mission to haul out former member Doctor Death (Wesley Snipes) from a running train heading towards an undisclosed jail in Bulgaria. As the Doc is rescued in a death defying stunt of airlifting,then they are headed to Somalia for a new mission of intercepting a consignment of bombs owned by Stonebanks. Pandemonium erupts when the clash of the mafia begins with the Expendables leaving Hale Caesar [Terry Crews] severely injured in a missile attack by Stonebanks.

Thus blaming himself Ross goes to Las Vegas to meet retired mercenary Bonaparte [Kelsey Grammer] to lend a hand to him to locate younger mercenaries and leaving behind his core team, henceforth the recruits join Ross to incarcerate Stonebanks from his hideout, but the mission fails and instead the young troopers are hostage with Stonebanks. Next the old lions are back with Ross to rescue the youth brigade and an intriguing war ignites to triumph over the army of Stonebanks.

Directed by Patrick Hughes Expendables 3 neglects the basic pattern of interweaving the huge assembly of a cast. The Big Daddy’s of Hollywood are sprinkled haphazardly and shoddily positioned in the film leaving behind the importance of their iconic status.

The action is mediocre nothing stupendous except for the opening sequence of snipes rescue. Ford gives an unmemorable performance and Banderas has scale down to a buffoon fashion which goes awry. The wait continues for next as which biggie adds to the Stallone bandwagon

New Book Launch- Decoding Bollywood by Author Sonia Golani

 

Anurag Basu- The Unpretentious Braveheart

“I remember, during the filming of a dance sequence, with the hero in a paddy field, I asked one of the background dancers how much he got paid and was told he made 800 bucks! I made friends with him and started looking for dancing roles which drew better remuneration.”

Ashutosh Gowariker- The Perfectionist

“Holi was seen by a whole lot of people including Bhatt sahab who later cast me in Naam. Amol Palekarji also cast me in a television series called kachchi Dhoop. I met people and got more work . And finally, I had to take the important decision of choosing acting as a full time profession.”

Farah Khan- The Trailblazer

“I see anew trend now, a breed of young 20 something women managers accompanying actresses. Earlier there used to be the quintessential star mommies who would chaperone their daughters but in retrospect I feel they were better than these new age managers who brainwash actresses”.

Kabir Khan- Life is an Adventure

'The only studio I didn't approach was Yashraj Films because of the stereotypes that we have in our minds; I though Yashraj only made chiffon romance and love stories, and why would they be interested in a film like Kabul Express! If at all they did , they would make sure to add an item number in it, and so on and so forth.'

Kunal Kohli- In his Mentor's Footsteps

“I was fortunate enough to be the last director at Yash Raj to witness an era when the company made films as a family and for this I will b grateful to Yashji, Aditya and Pam aunty. I was the first non family person to have become a director at YRF. I sort of inaugurated the Yashraj studio as the first film happened to be shot in Yash Raj was Fanaa.”

Mahesh Bhatt- The Plan-spoken Philosopher

“When i was fifteen , my mother asked me to work and somehow supplement my father's income and I began doing some odd jobs. A couple of years later, my cousin who was a close friend of Raj Khosla sahab helped me get a job as a production manager for Do Raaste. And form there began my journey in the world of films but only with the objective of making money.”

Nagesh Kukunoor- 'Indie' Spirit Personified

Shot in a short span of seventeen days,Nagesh's debut film, Hyderabad Blues was released in 1998 to much critical acclaim and became one of the most successful independent films and inadvertently also jumpstarted the Indie film movement in India. Besides receiving the Audience award for best film at both the Peachtree International Film Festival, it was showcased in several distinguished international festivals as well.

Nandita Das- A Humanitarian First

“Films happened completely by default like most things in my life. Ek Thi Goonja was a small “festival film” which won some awards, was shown on TV and then faded away. Finally, it wasn't even released commercially . So, Fire, which I did next, was in a way my first film. After Goonja I didn't think I would do another film but the role in Fire was not only interesting but very compelling.”

Prakesh Jha- The Soft- hearted Rebel

“ I wasn't a spendthrift those days and got by each day with the barest minimum, mainly for food and bus fares. Initially, there were days when I went without food but it was fine. Somehow, it never bogged me down and I could manage.”

R Balki- The Effervescent Dreamer

“I was sitting in this very room in 2005, I think , trying to do an advertisement for Lifebuoy soap when suddenly an idea for Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) came to me. Though I had never spoken to him over the phone, I fortunately had his number from his manager. I just messaged back , when do you want to meet you. He messaged back, when do ypu want to meet? I said, anytime you are free? Tomorrow, at 7? He said Iwas so zappeed and couldn't believe my luck that I had just messaged Amitabh Bachchan and he asked me to see him!”

Rakeysh Omprakesh Mehra – Quest for Originality

“During his early years in advertising, a Chandigarh-based automobile company, Swaraj Mazda, manufacturers of Light Commercial Vehicles. Rakeysh was deputed for a short stint to Hiroshima to not only understand the product, but also the Japanese work ethics of discipline, punctuality, etc. The exercise was meant to Japanesefy me.”

Rohit Shetty- The Midas Touch

“We don't have the kind of budgets Hollywood commands because of the size of its market.If the budget of rs 1400 crores is made available to a good director here, we can also make movies like Transformers”.

Sudhir Mishra- Romancing Cinema

“I owe a lot to the FTII. In the early Eighties, there was an open and liberal environment in the institute. One could walk into a class and nobody asked you any questions. It was an interesting place and helped me gain a lot clarity on the technical aspects of filmmaking.”

Vipul Shah- Passion, Patience, Perseverance

“I started as a backstage boy at Prithvi which meant holding actors slippers, helping them into their costumes, washing their lunch boxes, packing trunks and loading them on to trunks and so on. I worked with my fiest guru, the late Mahendra Joshi who passed on his obsession to me and to such an extent that I became useless for anything else.”

Zoya Akhtar- The Discerning One

“The only 'Hindi-Hindi' movie I worked on befo0re making mine was, Dil Chahta Hai and it wasn't really Bollywood because we set up and made it the way we wanted to.”

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Some like Farah Khan and Zoya Akhtar had sterling antecedents but it took a tough childhood and intermittent assignments on filmsets to win the box office with Om Shanti Om and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara; while Ashutosh Gowarikar auditioned for folk dances and failed with his debut film, Lagaan created cinematic history; and Anurag Basu had to first dance as a background extra and later overcome cancer to witness Barfi win hearts and awards. These and other hitherto unfamiliar stories of directors belonging to the “100 crore club” like Rohit Shetty and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra; the adventurous Kabir Khan; and the maverick, Mahesh Bhatt.

Richa Chadha

What’s special about Richa’s Earrings?

Richa Chadha has a lot on her plate right now. Not only is she busy with the promotions of her upcoming movie ‘Tamanchey’ but her traveling play ‘Trivial Disasters’, along with Cyrus Sahukar, Purab Kohli and Kalki Koechlin is also quite demanding on her time. The play

​ was very well received.​

 Having being acclaimed by critics, the play has got an excellent response from the audiences as well. Richa put herself to the test when it came to the play as she knew she would be stretching herself thin, but all hard work pays off in the end. In Richa’s case, her reward came as a pair of special handmade earrings from her fan. He who was so touched by her performance in the play, that he gifted her a pair of earrings as a token of his love for her. Richa graciously accepted the gift and can even be spotted wearing the earrings at times. Now that is what we call a true fan!
