After a long time Riteish Deshmukh will be seen alone in the male lead role. Banjo gave him the opportunity to prove that he can carry a movie alone on his shoulders. Banjo is based on local banjo players in Mumbai and their journey against all odds. Ritesh is a versatile actor and he shown his acting skills in multi-starrer films. So how good is Banjo? And how Ritesh performed without Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek Oberoi as co-actors?
Starring :
Riteish Deshmukh (Taraat)
Nargis Fakhri (Christina)
Riteish (Taarat) along with his friends Dharmesh (Grease), Aditya (Paper) and Ram (Vajaya) runs a local band in Dharavi. Kenny (Mikey) who is a friend of Nargis (Kris) send a song of the local banjo band. Kris is a New York based musician and her friend want them to record two singles and also wanted them to perform in some big musical festivals. Kris came India to find that band and sent to Dharavi by her uncle for an assignment. There she meets Taarat and rest of the members of the band. But she were unaware of the fact that these are the guys she is looking for. Once she discovered their music talent, she convinces them to record those songs and taking the band to International heights. Then the story rolls how they will lead their journey with so many obstacles like - a jealous rival, land mafia and a lecherous studio manager.
Director Ravi Jadav underlined the points nicely that how difficult it is for the people who live in slums to even dream to be successful. The journey of the local musical band from slum would have been much better. The music is very good. All the actors performed really well. After reading the review you might be thinking you saw this kind of movie before. Banjo has a shade of ABCD and Rock On but not a copy.
Banjo would have been a great entertaining movie but it lacks in some part. But a common man can relate to the movie very well and if you are a middle class mumbaikar then you might enjoy the film.
