I Know Who You Are Cowboy and Indian Joke
"The proper noun's Murgun,Quick Gun Murgun.".
Warning: Spoilers
Recently reading about McDonald's being about to open up their beginning all- vegetarian takeaway in Republic of india,I remembered hearing about a Bollywood "Curry" Western,which sounded like i of the strangest movies made in the final 5 years.
The plot:
Killed past the evil Rice Plate Reddy,cowboy Quick Gun Murugun gets out of his body and gets upon a carriage to be taken to the afterlife.Feeling that he has to defeat Reddy earlier he can enter the afterlife,Murgun appeals the decision for him to be sent to the afterlife,by telling the official that Rice Plate is using his bandits to stop any vegetarian meals from being sold in the area,with the only selection that Reddy plans to force upon the largely vegetarian residents to swallow being his cocky- labelled Rice Plate Reddy Beefiness Dosa.Accepting his request,the official warns Murgun that things may have changed quite a flake on world,due to each minute he spent in the afterlife being 1 globe year.
25 years later:
Planning to jump direct into a shoot-out with Reddy and his bandits,Quick Gun is shocked to find out that Rice Plate has profoundly expanded on his original plans,and is now preparing to wipe out any vegetarian food from being severed in the entire land,past building a ruling food empire called McDosa.Feeling uneasy most the changed environs and some of the new people who are interim a little likewise helpful, (the main one being a woman called Mango Dolly) Murugun begins to get gear up for the shootout which he has been waiting 25 globe years to reach.
View on the film:
Opaing with the ghost of Quick Gun Murgun, (played with a terrific flair by Dr.Gadde Rajendra Prasad) getting upon a wagon headed for the afterlife,director Shashanka Ghosh and cinematography R.A. Krishnaa make the world (and afterlife) of Murgun a wondrous Pop-Art world bursting with master colours,from Quick Gun's leaped skin top,to Mango Dolly'southward (played by the cute Rambha) eye catching entrance.For the brilliantly stylised shoot-outs,Krishnaa and Ghosh requite each of the scenes a style which looks to have been peeled straight from the pages of a comic book,from Quick Gun facing off confronting Rice Plate Reddy'south (played with a Dick Dastardly twitch by Nassar) bandits in coconut trees,to a cleverly done,bursting bullet in the head one shot.Making the Western side to the story e'er be a predominant feature,from Murgun meeting Mango in a salon,to him realising that he is the simply person who can save the village (and the country) from being overrun by Reddy's Mcdosa,screenwriter Rajesh Devraj likewise includes some unexpected commentary about fast-food,with Reddy desperately trying to find a way to requite his mass-produced product a "female parent's touch",which leads to this not bad movie beingness one that you can lookout again and once again with a rice plate reedy and a side order of mango dolly.

A Nutshell Review: Quick Gun Murugun
His name is Quick Gun Murugun, heed information technology! And I think the passengers around me would have thought I was mad enough to sentinel an Indian picture show, and an Indian cowboy i at that, laughing out loud in almost every scene which I can't help to because it'southward just and so funny.
I hateful, face it, here's probably the simply Indian vegetarian Cowboy hero whose main objective in life is to take care of the cows (well, at least that'southward what cowboys do he believes), as well as being the guardian of the sacred animal of grade. Armed with no more than than 2 six-shooters and a fancy gunplay technique, Quick Gun Murugun (Dr Rajandra Prasad) protects the meek from meat-eating gangsters such as Rice Plate Reddy (Nasser) who has megalomaniac plans to rid the world of vegetarianism!
Sounds dastardly, merely not if our hero tin help it, while juggling with his human relationship woes with Locket Lover (Anu Menon) who resides in, well, his locket! For all the garish colours in his outfit of choice, the villains he goes up against is just as colourful, with names such every bit Gun Powder (Shanmughraja) and Rowdy MBA (Raju Sundaram), each with their own comical quirks that fans of Indian cinema would come to capeesh, and chuckle at. And despite our hero possessing some great skill with his pistols (head shots only, no less), he comes with an inherent weakness, and that'due south the number of bullets his pistols can shop, before getting soundly beaten.
It'southward actually two films in one, with a time travelling and supernatural elements brought in for good measure, and more laughter. In present 24-hour interval Mumbai, he continues to seek out his arch enemy Rice Plate, who has gone on to offset McDosa, a fast food chain bent on making Dosa from meat thank you to the recipe of Dr Django (Ashwin Mushran). And while waiting for more gunslinging action, there's another romantic subplot thrown in which involved Rice Plate's electric current moll Mango Dolly (Rambha), and how Quick Gun's now a fish out of h2o,
If you find the plot quite ridiculous, it really is! And everything is just so hammed up, from the saturated colours, acting and dialogue, that it's really incredibly smart in knowing when to striking the right notes, making yous do double takes at just about every scene. Sight gags are galore also, and I reckon with every re-watch yous'll discover something new to express joy at, either from signages in some corner, or by the dialogue which come up in healthy doses of Inglish.
If you're game for some irreverent comedy and one that has enough of gags, then watch Quick Gun Murugun, which I endorse, I say!

An avoidable flavorless Dosa.
Buying the ticket for this unusual kind of attempt, I had 2 thoughts in my listen. 1 that information technology may be a complete entertainer served with a unlike S Indian humor and two, information technology may plow out to be a sincerely attempted unsuccessful experiment by its makers. Unfortunately, information technology fitted well into the second category of my thoughts and was a big disappointment.
Moving around the revenge saga of a Southward Indian Cowboy called "Quick Gun Murugun", the pic is full of blithe action sequences with bullets existence shot in slow motion. The supreme hero never gets injure seriously, every bit seen in the movie theatre of 70s and keeps on fighting with a miraculous touch. He tin can meet the bullet coming towards him clearly, can hold it in his bare fist and can even catch it with his teeth. Senseless shots like these proceed on repeating throughout the moving picture with characters speaking in heavy Southward Indian emphasis which also becomes unbearable after a while. Symbolically, there is a fight between the Vegetarian Hero and the Non Vegetarian villain who has plans to introduce his ain Non-Veg Dosa. And another angle reveals how "Murugun" has also been to "Swarg" and fifty-fifty struck a deal with "Chitragupt" managing the life-accounts there.
The flick is quite foreign and bizarre in its unreal handling with no storyline heading towards whatever particular direction. It seems like the director merely had the thought of this "South Indian Cowboy Character" and so he simply started shooting sequences of his fight with the villain and the projection was fix. It makes you feel like watching a children comic strip running on the screen full of childish action sequences. Information technology is fifty-fifty hard to believe that how the director not simply managed to notice big producers for this projection but also successfully released it in the theaters with a fine promotional entrada. That was indeed a Great Task done! At that place is nothing much to write nearly the different technical departments of the project every bit I really found everything done lavishly but without whatsoever specific management. Right from the sincere interim of Dr. Rajendra Prasad (QGM) to the stylishly done graphics, the efforts are barely visible due to the uninteresting and lifeless narration. Surprisingly the movie is just effectually 90 minutes of duration which serves equally a boon for its viewers. May be they were not able to clasp in more than actions scenes towards its climax as it was already overdone.
In short, I tin can only draw this picture show as purely fabricated out of director Shashank Ghosh's passion and beloved towards the character "Quick Gun Murugun". The idea was pretty practiced and the projection could have been the platform for some other cult character of our movies. But sadly it could not materialize perfectly and the end event was just like an avoidable flavorless Dosa.

Quickgun Murugun, I say!!
Warning: Spoilers
Pay Attention, I say! After a long drought in the film industry, finally the movie lovers have some entertainment lined up for them. Quickgun Murugun played past the veteran actor Dr. Rajendra Prasad (don't exist mistaken with the name, he is non the President of India!) is a cowboy who sets out to salvage the planet. The movie displays an age old fight between the good, the bad and the ugly, merely with a lot of humour, action, romance and in a nutshell total entertainment.
The movie opens with a scene of the protagonist, Quickgun Murugun being killed by baddie Rice Plate Reddy, played by yet another south superstar Nasser. The movie begins. Quickgun is escorted by the Yamaraj to Yamalok. Well these days Yamalok has likewise become 'dead' decorated. With tones of people waiting in queues, some to annals for Moksha while others awaited punishment for their sins. Quickgun requests C.Gupta (that is an abridgement for Chitragupta, I say!) to ship him back to Earth as he had some unfinished business. Chitragupta played decently well past apna Vinay Pathak finds his reasoning strong enough to be sent back. A new Quickgun with supernatural powers reappears like Terminator at Gateway of Republic of india.
Now his search begins for Rice plate Reddy. Guess how he finds him. Well Google has answers to all life's questions. Aye, you guessed it right by now that he googles information technology and learns about the evil plans of Rice Plate Reddy. And of course Quickgun'due south guiding light is his expressionless girlfriend played past Lola Kutty. I wish her role was more elaborate. Notwithstanding she was at her best in the brief appearances that she made. Sentry out for the song sequence between Quick Gun Murugun and Lola Kutty. Information technology is hilarious! Reddy's character is par excellence. You must take not seen a villain with that degree of professionalism. He displays a unique style of firing his employees (which y'all must watch in the movie). He dreams of opening a concatenation of hotels which is a dosa served with beefiness and convert all vegetarians into non-vegetarians. All his attempts fail for finding a perfect recipe for dosa. Finally a MBA graduate does it. Rowdy MBA with his wit and 'rowdy' MBA lessons finds a solution to Reddy's grave trouble.
The action begins once Quickgun meets the most important assist of Reddy, Mango Dolly played past Rambha. Of course, a lilliputian predictable, that she falls in beloved with the naïve, benevolent Quickgun Murugun. She decides to help Quickgun in his fight against Reddy.
The activity scenes between Quickgun Murugun and Rowdy MBA are worth watching. The backdrop of the sequence is our Mumbai traffic. The one liners by Rowdy MBA and Quickgun are rib tickling. Besides the climax is quite witty with Quick Gun taking an avatar of a God with 8 hands to kill wicked Reddy. You need to see it, to believe information technology.
Quite an entertaining movie with amusing dialogues, loads of creativity and masala. It is certainly not one of those clichéd spoofs. So watch out for this riot of laughter!

Jokes Fantastico
Quick Gun Murugun is a little more than what yous expect – and yet falls short of your expectations. It is the wacky tale of a 'vegetarian-cowboy' who takes on Rice Plate Reddy and his gang of villains. It is likewise a spoof of likewise many things to count – S-Indian-movies, standard bollywood masala movies, cowboy movies and even McDonalds !! Filled with smart jokes – they will have you lot howling with laughter at the i liners. Just believe it or not, the movie is somewhat of a drag ….
Telegu star Dr. Rajendra Prasad plays gunslinger Quick Gun Murugan with élan – brilliant orange pants and all. He is an avowed protector of cows and vegetarianism – and shortly runs into Rice Plate Reddy, who is on a quest to convert every Udipi eating place into non-veg. Reddy gets the better of him in the get-go run across and our hero is thirsty for revenge.
This time, he gets a little help from Mango Dolly (Rambha) – Reddy'due south blonde moll – who falls for our Murugun'south simple charms. On Rice Plate Reddy's side there is Dr Django and Rowdy MBA – who are implementing his programme of taking over the world with his dosas. And of course, in that location is our very own Lola Kutty with Murugun too.
While hilarious, the story is actually very simple and sometimes it feels like the movie is too long for such a story. And the jokes are not spaced out enough to take hold of the slack in screenplay. Only all the same, it is impossible to control the laughter that erupts when, for example, you see Murugan's love song picturisation. But be ready to exist surprised with the violence too – the violence is Not picturised like a Tom and Jerry cartoon … All in all, a lot of very clever jokes interspersed with some non then interesting parts. Even though its overall rating is boilerplate, I would recommend a watch – considering y'all are going to recall the jokes for days after the pic and chuckle thinking about it.

A Tribute to Clint Eastwood
Worth every second.
The flick revolves effectually our hero and his enemy Mr. Rice Plate Reddy (Wow what a name). Our hero is a real hero who is very egoistic and humble at the same time.
He is a strict veggie. ( Which is actually the need of the hour ) As i Myself is also pure Veggie. He tries to stop the villain to promote non-veg. He even argues with the Chitragupta and convinces him to send him back to the globe. So that he can promote vegetarianism.
The flick is purely most gun shots as done past Clint Eastwood. The hero and his elder brother both are die=hard fans of Clint Eastwood.
The heroine name Mango Dolly. wow again what a creative proper name. She also is very sexy at the aforementioned time very homely. All that She does in the film is to seduce the hero until the finish.
What is unsure is what happened after he killed Mr. Rice Plate Reddy. The music of the moving picture is very good and catchy. I know that I don't write good reviews.
An honest Tribute to Clint Eastwood.

Happy to know that sense of humour is not dead in India!
This flick is bang-up fun. Most people who didn't like the movie probably didn't get it. This was similar Kill Beak, an homage in the form of a spoof. The director probably paid homage to the due south Indian / Rajnikanth genre, where over- the- elevation is considered normal. Even over- the- peak Hollywood is not spared (the bullet time references, although it was done in southern Indian movies much before Matrix!)
Peradventure the motion picture was a labour of love for the managing director. Nosotros all fall in beloved with characters we create, so become on to do a hash job with the story. The managing director in this case has probably given a lot of liberty to the writer, and immune him to take the character and own it. The writing is therefore adept, the plot suitable. The jokes are really funny, you have to see them in context and really go into the movie. Every one-act movie needs a conflict. The conflict generated is non every bit strong, and starts late into the film, granted, but inside this story world, it is adequate. And believe me, it does suck you in. Few other issues that you tin ignore is that the ready pieces and climax had pacing issues. I am watching this on TV, and fifty-fifty with the distractions of the commercial breaks, i am hooked. Trust me, if you were having some beer while watching this with some buddies who likewise get the humor, it is THE time pass motion picture to lookout. I am definitely getting the DVD.
Later this movie, at that place were another good comedies that i can recollect, "tere bin Laden", "Phas Gaye Obama", but this one is in its "wown league i say". The atomic number 82 guy needs to become some kind of an laurels. He has played himself, spoofing actors like himself. Dr. Rajendra Prasad (as credited) must have really understood the concept and was perfectly bandage.
Some of the jokes and the stylization could accept been tweaked to make it funnier and more than involving. Having said that, nigh writers couldn't take been able to create the no. of references to clichés and write these jokes. Even the obvious/ predictable jokes make you laugh. "You lot are a Cowboy, exercise your task and protect the cows." In fact, if yous change the tone of the picture show, information technology could be a real movie released few decades agone by Tollywood/ Mollywood and later remade in Bollywood. ITs not a perfect comedy, none of them are. This one is meliorate than most.
Please to note: for bonus merely purposes: that Mango Dolly looks similar Sridevi.. hot, not?!
My vote: 7/10 (needs more than "elaichi in payasam")
---------------------- The END I say -------------------------------

QGM, a picture show with a difference in all aspects
Alert: Spoilers
QGM is 0% Logic and 100% Magic pic. Rajendra Prasad is simply superb though out and surpasses the expectations in many a scenes. What I really liked here in QGM is its complete divergence from a conventional picture. Be it comedy or Nasser'south villainy. I think its improve to create a new genre "QGM" but like Horror, Thriller, Drama etc. Such a fantastic entertaining movie is this one. There are scenes unimaginable & unthinkable but seriously worth watching coz its fabricated so. I enjoyed all BULLET action sequences, particularly the 10 Step Western Spoof walk on Bombay street where QGM'due south ii bullets button back the already fired Rajasundaram'south bullets back into his GUN !! What a scene.. A must watch in theater if u a fan of comedy movies coz u volition miss the feel in DVD Version.
9/ten - In my opinion for this completely different genre moving-picture show....

Shut to being a cult classic, merely not there
I normally avoid watching movies in a picture palace hall unless it is filled with special furnishings or something which demands a large screen and loud sounds. So here I was, entering a movie theatre hall to watch Quick Gun Murugun (QGM).
The problem with all comedies is that it has to grab you within the first iii minutes. Attending is easy to catch, but difficult to retain. In action movies, you can step downward the tempo with relief scenes or other pic making tricks, only with comedies, you lot cannot lose the tempo and you cannot rehash the same thing over and over again.
There is a elementary plot of evil villain wanting to take over the world with a perfect dosa to proceed the moving picture going, only it is not the soul.
From a viewer perspective, I felt that QGM lacked a vista. It is patently noticeably that it is non a big budget moving picture, otherwise I suppose the picture would have been panoramic and given me a more fulfilling cinema hall feel. Information technology is a movie made for the sake of making movies and non money making. If the movie carries past give-and-take of mouth and does a Blair Witch Project and a sequel / prequel is canonical, I would similar to see motion picture making passion increased exponentially - along with special furnishings, action and drama. Simply the special effects in the film is surprisingly good.
My overall impression of QGM was that an opportunity for making cult classic may be lost. The film showcases a director's dear for making films and not money generating love. The script was bright in places but dragged in equal number of other instances. The acting was adequate, but did not brand me dear or hate the personalities. In some of the activity sequences, the editing faults were a little likewise obvious to me.
The film focuses also much on the central characters, which is really a good affair since you can devote more than time and space with them, but I would accept preferred a John Woo or a Wong Kar Wai or even the Sergio Leone treatment of the main characters. You need to be under the skin of these characters and empathise with them. I would also have personally preferred a more than national flavour rather than limiting it to the south of Republic of india using the Bengali, Punjabi, Bihari and other fine Indian nuances.
The film was a light experience and as an afterwards thought, made me want to watch more than. These are the kind of carbon elements that the large producers should be focusing on. Non producing loud movies or having characters hamming in the name of comedy.
Somehow, the merely line that remains imprinted in my mind and brings a contemplative smiling is "Lizzen no ..."
