phantom movie review

 Here I am share my review on phantom movie.

Phantom is a 2015 Indian action thriller film directed by Kabir Khan and produced by SajidNadiadwala and Siddharth Roy Kapur starring SaifAliKhan and Katrina Kaif in leading roles.[3] The screenplay of the film has been written in coordination with authorHussain Zaidi's book Mumbai Avengers on the aftermath of 26/11 Mumbai attacks.[4] The trailer was released on 25 July 2015.[5]The film was released worldwide on 28 August 2015 with mixed reviews.
plot:
Phantom begins with a car chase in Chicago, which ends with a man plunging into the icy waters of a river. The protagonist (Saif Ali Khan) is convicted for murder and jailed. Cut to the office of the Indian R.A.W. chief (Sabyasachi Chakrabarty), where he and his trusted men (Rajesh Tailang, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) plan a daring covert operation. Daniyal Khan, a dead-end ex-soldier with a completely deadened sense of life and death is pulled out of oblivion and pressed into service by the spy agency to wreak vengeance on the men who planned the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
The R.A.W. chief who orders the killings does not have the permission of the home minister and hence he has to keep everything under wraps. The reclusive Daniyal fits his plan like a glove. his wishful construct, derived from S Hussain Zaidi's book Mumbai Avengers, is pretty flat and predictable, especially in the first half as the angry male protagonist, sacked from the army on charges of desertion, grabs the opportunity to redeem himself

v Critical reception

1)Meena Iyer of The times of India gave Phantom 3.5 stars, calling it an oversimplified but patriotic thriller. 
 2)Rajeev Masand of IBN Live gave it 2 stars calling it slow paced, boring and a " wish fulfillment fantasy".
(3)Shubha Shetty-Saha of Mid-day gave it 3 stars stating the "powerful story is diluted by the use of too many cinematic liberties and a rather lazy screenplay", "Flaws aside, it talks of a real concern facing all of us, even while taking a flight of fantasy"
(4) Shweta Kaushal of Hindustan Times gave it 2.5 stars calling Khan and Kaif's performances "pedestrian" but calling the work of Sohaila Kapur, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Sabyasachi Chakraborty "power-packed".       
 The movie main theme is  Saif posing a question where he asks, “If the US can find and kill Osama in Pakistan, why can’t India do the same?”
The trailer also includes internationally designated terrorist Hafiz Saeed’s original speech where he is seen saying,

“Kya tumne yeh saabit kar diya ki Mumbai hamla Hafiz Saeed ne kiya tha?”

Indian is only one problem is his rules of constitution any officer of any department not gave order without permission but  my view is that  some times  broke the rule for any good work is not a big sin . here I am also show the tragedy of  The protagonist daniyal khan  (Saif Ali Khan) is convicted for murder and jailed. but in reality he was the captain of his battalion and fight against the another country's army force but daniyal khan's all the soldiers are tired and radio is not working so he decide to go for help and when he go for help all his team soldiers killed in attack. and only daniyal is live so Indian army says to him you are liar you gone from war land his father also not talk with him .his all the respect are gone .so at the last scene of movie indian navy wait for permission to go Pakistan’s ocean border and help to raw agent daniyal khan or  nvaj who killed main masterminds of the 26/11 attack — Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Hafiz Saeed, David Coleman Headley and Sajid Mir.  and come back with victory.  So in movie gave moral to Indian army you have power to do anything but first of all you do with passion and power.

10.modernist poems analysis

Modernist poems analysis 1.) ‘The Embankment‘ - T. E. Hulme Once, in finesse of fiddles found I ecstasy, In a flash of gold heels on the hard pavement. Now see I That warmth’s the very stuff of poesy. Oh, God, make small The old star-eaten blanket of the sky, That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie. Probably the most striking trait of the poem is the very intense use of alliterations: fantasia, fallen, finesse of fiddles, found, the flashes… In other words, that musical quality (the  melopoeia , in Pound’s terms) that results from the softness of the sound of ‘f’. The soft rhythm redirects our attention to the poem: the music of the ‘f’ not only resembles the music of fiddles, it also highlights them reinforcing the image. The effect of softness is very similar to  Joyce’s  “the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling” in the final paragraph of  The Dead . 2.) "Darkness" - Joseph Campbell Darkness ...

Structuralism and Literary Criticism: Gerard Genette

In literary theory, structuralism is an approach to analyzing the narrative material by examining the underlying invariant structure. Garrard Genette gives the Narratology in order to understand the structure of the literature. It consists of five parts: 1) Order 2) Frequency 3) Duration 4) Voice 5) Mood  And here I have tried to analyze the movie.  For example, in "Haider” director vishal bharadwaj taken plot and story from Shakespeare’s play “hamlet”. But here director change the plot background, place and theme. When we see the Kenneth branagh’s hamlet starting with the statue of king hamlet. And At the end director gave very typical end all the characters are died.  but in  haider movie  director  vishal bharadwaj is very confused about end so he do not have any end all the major charter is alive but here at the end is depends upon audience . Question is as it raised in mind  “To be or not to be”.   Another examp...

OD3 -Education System: School in Forest

Forest school is a type of  outdoor education  in which children (or adults) visit forests/woodlands, learning personal, social and technical skills. It has been defined as "an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment". Forest school is both a  pedagogy  and a physical entity, with the use often being interchanged. The plural "schools" is often used when referring to a number of groups or sessions.
