Film Review

Film Review:- Dabangg 3

Q. Write a film review of any film that you have watched recently.

Use the following points:-

1) Story 2) Characters 3) Songs and Music 4) Action 5) Theme 6) Weak and Strong points 7) Special Features 8) Your opinion about the film. 

Answer:- 

1) Story:- Chulbul (Salman) spends his average day romancing his wife Rajjo (Sonakshi), troubling his brother Makkhi (Arbaaz) and fighting and reforming silly person. All is well, until he busts a prostitution racket and saves a bunch of girls, which angers the ringleader, the rich and powerful Balli (Sudeep). Cut to, Chulbul Pandey’s beginnings, a huge chunk of the first part of the film is about his younger days, his love interest – the beautiful and naive Khushi (Saiee) – and the circumstances that urged him to turn over a new leaf and become Robinhood Panday.

2) Characters:- Sudeep is menacing as the baddie, who is out to make Chulbul’s life miserable. The South actor has a great screen presence, which makes the face-offs between Chulbul and him impactful and entertaining. Sonakshi was seen as Rajjo but she doesn’t have much to do other than play the loving and doting wife. Saiee, who makes her debut as young Chulbul’s lady love, has a pleasant screen presence and is effective, but she could do with expressing more in the emotional scenes. Arbaaz plays his part well. Salman Khan is more effective and fit to show his larger than life image.

3) Songs and Music:- a long line-up of songs, of which, the memorable ones are 'Munna Badnam Hua' and the title track. Audience can hear chants of ‘Hudd Hudd Dabangg’ in the background. It increases the impact of the scenes.

4) Action:- The action is raw and solid, however, some action scenes (like Chulbul's introductory sequence) are unreasonably stretched. Dabangg 3' shows Salman in his element – throwing deadly blows at the villains amidst all the smoke, dust and fire, while. And those certainly will be paisa-vasool moments for Salman Khan's fans.

5) Theme:- Dabangg 3 ,the film, a prequel in part, traces Chulbul Pandey’s journey from a young man named Dhaakad to police officer Chulbul Pandey, and his fight with the demons of his past.

6) Weak and strong Points:- While the story is clearly predictable, in this one again, Salman’s star power, swag and style remain intact. There is an attempt to infuse comedy in the story, but it seems rather forced. The storyline is not cohesive and the narrative is loosely strung together. The film, with a runtime of 2 hours and 42 minutes, seems very long and could have done with a tighter edit.

7) Special Features:- Dabangg 3 is the third instalment of the 'Dabangg' franchise, and the audience is well-acquainted with the larger-than-life, lovable cop and his world. There are ample clap-worthy and seeti-maar moments in Prabhudeva’s 'Dabangg 3' for Salman Khan fans to lap up. Yes, he takes off his shirt, flaunts his well-toned, perfectly-greased body and beats up the goons to pulp.

8) My opinion about the film:- Overall, the film has all the ingredients required for a massy masala entertainer — good action, music, drama and, of course, Salman packing all of this in one story. The portions where the actor throws in comedy while doing hardcore action scenes are nicely done.

My Ratings for the film:- 4.0/ 5

HSC Board July 2023 Exam Activity Sheet

Q. You have recently seen a 'Short Film'. Write a 'Review' on the same with the help of the following points:

Title of the film

Subject/story/ plot

Presentation/photography/music

Message

Answer-

A short film- Laddoo

Title of the film:

The title of the short film is ‘Laddoo’. The title is the important thing of the film. The story moves around it. The child wants to deliver laddoo to his grandpa so he is carrying them thought the film.  

Subject/story/ plot:

‘Laddoo’ by the director duo Sameer Sadhwani and Kishor Sadhwani is the story of a curious young boy. As per the Hindu Rituals, it is believed an offering made to ancestors on their death anniversary reaches them through pandit but the young boy fails to understand how this happens. Even as he struggles to comprehend this concept, he is entrusted with the imperative task of delivering lunch to the pandit on his grandfather death anniversary. Being the curious person, he does not give up and sets out on a little adventure to figure out the answer to his questions.

Presentation

The presentation of the story and its theme is really noteworthy. In the form of the child’s thinking and dialogues, viewers get a clear idea of the story.

Photography

The photography is effective. It shows the emotions and journey of the child to fulfil his queries.

Music

Being a short film, there is no scope for songs. The background music is supportive to the story.

Cast:

Kumud Mishra - Maulvi

Kabir Sajid - Kid

Mansi Parekh - Mother

Rajkumar Kanojia - Begger

Alok Pandey – Watchman

Message

The short film ‘Laddoo’ is a food for thought. The film gives a message that no matter the name we choose for God, Bhagwan, or Allah, they are all the same indeed. The strength of the film lies in its writing. The innocent questions of a child remind grownups the truth they have forgotten while raising imaginary walls and boundaries on the basis of religion. As per my opinion 'Laddoo' is a very good short film.

Jr. College Eng Teachers’ Group 1

Prof Mahajan Sir, Badalapur: [8:57 PM, 12/12/2019]

1) First have the group discussion on the name or title of the drama. Let them guess what the drama is about. Ask them to justify their guess. Ask them to explain why they think so. Make a chart of their guesses. At the end you can tell them the correct guess. Congratulate the winner. Extend the activity. Tell them to inculcate the habit of guessing with the names and themes of the films. They will definitely love it.

2) Characters: Ask them to list the characters. Let's have discussion on the significance of their names. Discuss their relations, their actions (I mean what they do) and their thinking.

3) Setting: Discuss on the places, surroundings, situations and timing of the happenings, significance of the settings. Discuss how setting contributes to the development of the theme. Symbolism used in the settings.

4)Theme.....

5)Dialogues......

6) Language....

7)Moral Vaues

etc

Prof. Tushar Chavan [9:11 PM, 12/12/2019]:

To Prof Mahajan Sir, Badalapur,

Your suggestions are good but how will the students know about the characters, their relations, significance of their names etc. without reading the drama. Do you think our students can tell these things reading the drama. Please give practical suggestions. These suggestions are good but I think it is impossible to use them in the actual class. Most of the students are very poor in understanding.

Prof Mahajan Sir, Badalapur [9:16 PM, 12/12/2019]:

I know without reading it is not possible. They have to read.

Prof. Tushar Chavan [9:18 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Do they understand the language of Shakespeare? It's old English.

Prof. Manjusha Sagrolikar [9:16 PM, 12/12/2019]:

I discussed about characters, theme, plot, setting and events. Then provided sufficient time to read and select the roles. In front of the class students performed. My students enjoyed this role play activity.

Prof. Tushar Chavan [9:20 PM, 12/12/2019]:

To, Prof. Manjusha Sagrolikar, 

Is it possible to do role playing in the class having more than 100 students? How do students remember the dialogues? Is it practically possible in each class - Specially arts faculty class?

Prof. Manjusha Sagrolikar [9:25 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Sir, my class is also large, with 98 students.  In role play students can use book. So it doesn't need to remind dialogues.

Prof. Tushar Chavan [9:30 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Good. Please take its video recording and share for all. It will be beneficial to all.

Prof. Manjusha Sagrolikar [9:33 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Yes, in the next week students are going to perform with dressing. They don't want video in uniform. So I haven't posted it yet.

Jr. College Eng Teachers’ Group 2

Prof. G J Atram [5:05 PM, 12/13/2019]:

While teaching Drama we can use ppt to show and narrate the story in short and can also explain characters, plot, theme and setting in the drama.

A few dialogues or scenes can be enacted by some students.

But all this is possible only if students have developed aesthetic interest and students' maturity in various aspects like language, emotions, literary understanding etc.

Prof. Gaddam Shakuntala[5:21 PM, 12/13/2019]:

I myself the following method...

I first introduced all the characters and their relationship  according to the need ... I then taught synopsis and started teaching drama ,so I didn't get much more time and difficulty to introduce the drama.. and I asked them to salve the activities and I got positive response also......  

Jr. College Eng Teachers’ Group 3

No one give any comment.

Jr. College Eng Teachers’ Group 4

No one give any comment.

Jr. College Eng Teachers’ Group 5

Prof Makanwar Snehal S. [7:45 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Jr. College Eng Teachers’ Group 6

Prof Swati Tribhuvan [6:01 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Prof. Tushar Chavan [9:22 PM, 12/12/2019]:

I don't think role playing is possible in each class - Specially arts faculty class.

Prof.Manjusha Sagrolikar [9:29 PM, 12/12/2019]: My students are from Art and commerce faculty. I discussed with them how to pronounce new words, help them while reading. Unless we motivate them to read out how can they develop their confidence?In my class I received positive response with role play.

Prof Vidya Thakare [9:34 PM, 12/12/2019]: Good ...

But u r from city area.. Not possible at tribal. Specially at peth surgana ...

Prof.Manjusha Sagrolikar [9:35 PM, 12/12/2019]:

No mam, my students are totally from rural area, purely from farmer's family

Prof Vidya Thakare [9:36 PM, 12/12/2019]: I tried it ..

But not responded by students..

They became shy to come forward....😔

Prof.Manjusha Sagrolikar [9:36 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Most of the students do to and fro from nearby villages.

Prof Vidya Thakare [9:37 PM, 12/12/2019]: Same here too mam

Prof.Manjusha Sagrolikar [9:38 PM, 12/12/2019]:

One benefit is my school is girl's school and girls are always sincere and honest

Prof Vidya Thakare [9:38 PM, 12/12/2019]: I'll try it again...S that's true mam ...But my students are so shy....They can't take interest to talk in fornt of students.

Prof.Manjusha Sagrolikar [9:41 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Yes mam. Try with book. Allow them to make mistakes, you can correct it afterwards. They'll practice it at home.

Prof Vidya Thakare [9:42 PM, 12/12/2019]: S.. I think I have to take more effort for them.

Prof.Manjusha Sagrolikar [9:44 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Problem is with unknown words, how to prononce it. Once they learn it from us they can do reading practice at home. We can ask them to prepare themselves at home . And next day they'll perform.

Jr. College Eng Teachers’ Group 7

Mrs. Rutuja Deshmukh [4:55 PM, 12/12/2019]:

I feel the second point is more suitable.  To understand what is drama. How to learn stories, It will help to improve writing skill.

We can give questions about character, summary,  theme, Symbols.

This will help to change their look out towards language studies.

Prof. Raju Maruti Phutane [8:25 PM, 12/12/2019]:

In Section 4 Drama  students are expected to write about the plot, setting, theme etc. To make the question tougher, there will be no extracts. Will some of the students who are unable to construct a single sentence specifically rural area students write the answer of these questions?

Generally students learning in Arts and vocational wing can't write their names and addresses correctly how can they attempt these questions?

Even if we give them readymade answers, I am doubtful about their performance I am raising  the question because some of my students are intellectually very poor.

Believe or not, but with the help of 20 Mark's oral test, they have passed 10th with average marks.

Please help me by telling in which way should we teach them dramas so that they may get some marks in the exam

Prof. Dhanaji Patil Athgav Kongaon [8:30 PM, 12/12/2019]:

This is a real fact sir.

Prof. Mrs. Rutuja Deshmukh [9:30 PM, 12/12/2019]:

A real fact, and completely agree.

Prof Seema Dandekar [10:16 PM, 12/12/2019]:

I think 2, 3 and 4 issue seems right, but can you still do students in the countryside?

Prof. Tushar Chavan [12:07 PM, 12/13/2019]:

Yes. I think, 'Read each line and explain it' - is not possible for dramas because they are much lengthy.

Prof. Raju Maruti Phutane [12:36 PM, 12/13/2019]:

It is better to summarise highlighting setting,  attributes and various aspects of characters rather than going through line to line .

Mr. Sudhakar Kirmire M. J. F. Jr. College Ashti [1:31 PM, 12/13/2019]:

I think we should firstly acqint the students with characters& their qualities. Then summerize the theme & set activities to solve in group.

Jr. College Eng Teachers’ Group 8

Prof Sayeed Saipan Saheb Solapure [5:40 PM, 12/12/2019]:

Sir I will divide the groups of the students in vivid characters. As well as their dialogues with body language. First plot ,characters, theme etc.

Jr. College Eng Teachers’ Group 11

Prof. Sneha Ratnaparkhi [10:27 AM, 12/12/2019]:

I think first of the students should be introduced to drama as genre of literature through examples of classic drama( at least Elizabethan drama) along with regional drama. Regional drama creates interest in the form as the dialogues are easily understood.

Then gradually plot,setting, characterization can be explained.

Through role play students to be involved in the plot and teacher can only be facilitator by giving outline of read part of the play.

If possible same prescribed play can be shown in the class. Teacher can even keep the discussion go on after each scene related to the theme and characterization.

Prof. Adat V. S. from Kolhapur [11:04 PM, 12/12/2019] :

First of all ,tell the students the story in short. Then make  the list of characters as major and minor along with their roles. Then discuss about plot, characterisation, places of happenings, then the twists and turns. The arrangement of theatre is also told. Afterwards make the students read out the dialogues loudly as role playing. Then discuss about theme and message and contemporary plays, along with their history. Then ask the students to make notes on particular points.

Prof. Adat V. S. from Kolhapur, Jr.: [11:09 PM, 12/12/2019]

The social siruation must be known to the students.

Prof. Tushar Chavan [5:14 AM, 12/13/2019]:

Do you think we get sufficient time for role playing? Are the students ready to Participate in such activities? Your suggestions are ideal but they are not easy to implement in the limited time of span that we get. Isn't it?

Prof Sneha Ratnaparkhi [7:46 AM, 12/13/2019]:

Yes sir.... Mine is a girls' college and it's a heterogeneous group.... Yet role playing is implemented.... I don't intend to mein actual play being performed.... It's only reading part which is mentioned here by another teacher as well..... Teacher should not read each n every line.... That's what even the writers and editers expect from the teachers of the new textbook

Review of activity work book

Review of Activity Work book

1) Prof. Prafulla Mahure

An Activity Book by Tushar Chavan

It's a very good initiative taken by Tushar Chavan to publish an activity book for std 11th. The book is enriched with different varied activities to be completed by the students in the provided space. The book by teaching faculty means a lot. He knows the grass roots problems and remedies. So the book prepared by such faculty helps the students a lot. It would be useful for teachers also for preparing similar activities or using as it is.  The book has covered all types of activities on the content of the text book. Grammar(language study), vocabulary and writing skills are skillfully dealt with. Unseen passages also are given for practice. Icing on the cake, activity sheets for Unit Tests and Term Exam also are included. The activity book concludes with a line "Nothing is impossible in the world." It enables students to build up confidence.

Thanks Tushar Sir for sending your Activity Book.
