Story of The Film :

What happens when you throw two guys who hate each other together. A cool call center executive Jimmy Cliff (Saif Ali Khan), a desi wannabe gangster Bachchan Pande (Akshay Kumar) add for good measure a beautiful girl Pooja (Kareena Kapoor) who cant be trusted – on a journey across spectacular India – a journey which will alter the course of their lives in more ways than one – a journey where even enemies need to trust each other if they want to stay alive. Trouble is, in this world no one can be trusted ever. And to top it all there is the evil eye of Bhaiyyaji (Anil Kapoor – Slumdog Millionaire and 24), maverick gangster who enjoys killing people as much as he enjoys learning to speak English.

Production :

Pre-production began in late 2006 with Akshay Kumar being signed first, and Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor next. In early 2007, Anil Kapoor was signed on to play a negative role in the film. This film continued Khan’s long-standing successful collaboration with Yash Raj Films. It also marked a return for 3 of its lead actors to Yash Raj Films: Kumar was previously seen in Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), whilst Kareena Kapoor and Anil Kapoor were last seen in Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (2002) and Lamhe (1991), respectively.

Sources later indicated that all the actors would be seen sporting new looks designed by designer Aki Narula. In June 2007, the cast began filming in Kerala, and later continued shooting in Ladakh and Rajasthan. Pictures of Khan and Kareena Kapoor were taken in September 2007 while shooting for the film in the Fort area of Mumbai. Some portions of the film were later shot in the city of Haridwar on the banks of the river Ganges. The video clips of two songs were made in Milos Island and Nafplio in Greece

Tashan Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 3.8 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 4884.

I totally disagree with the ratings and think that its not justified. though the movie had its good and bad parts overall the movie is in fact very good.

On the negative side the action scenes were totally unrealistic, totally clichéd where our main leads are showered with bullets but escape without a scratch while bad guys and pathetic side actors fall like a bunch of leaves in autumn.

But on the positive side the acting was really great especially by Akshay Kumar, Kareena looked smoking hot, Saif, though not a significant role, did good justice to his part and last but not the least Anil Kapoor who was brilliant with his bihari hinglish.

The music is top notch with lots of catchy songs.

I really think the positives far outweigh the negatives of this movie. If you really want to watch a movie which is funny, stylish and added to that some amazing music and cinematography then you cannot miss this movie.

Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 1.5 star out of 5 Star.
