Malini & Co Movie Review

Cast: Poonam Pandey, Samrat Reddy, Kavya Singh, Ravi Kale, Jakeer, Suman Talwar and Ajay Rathnam.Direction: Veeru K.Duration: 1 hour 54 minutes.
Synopsis: Hema Malini (Poonam), a Malayali masseuse, moves in to a colony in Dharavi. But she isn't just here to run the massage parlour and has a hidden agenda.
Movie Review: It's pretty obvious the filmmakers were banking heavily on Poonam's oomph and sex appeal to sell this film. But looks like the makers were so obsessed with Poonam's curves that they forgot they had a film to make...err the story to tell. Well, the storyline is heavily inspired from John Abraham's Madras Cafe — it's actually more like a botched up adaptation of the 2013 film.
A political spy drama, the plot is set up against the backdrop of what seems like the now defunct military organization LTTE and the Lankan war. It begins with a Malayali masseuse, Hema Malini (Poonam) making an entry into a colony in Mumbai's Dharavi. With her sultry, seductive looks, she comes across as the promiscuous woman set to break homes. But then, she has a sad backstory of a braindead husband Dharmendra (Samrat Reddy) with whom she has come to town for treatment. But wait, that's not all, there's another twist in store which is revealed in another flashback.
When making a film around an issue like terrorism, it requires a lot of research. Forget research, the filmmakers didn't even bother having a coherent screenplay.
