Banjo Movie Review: Riteish Deshmukh Starrer Is a Boring, Predictable Watch

Banjo starring Riteish Deshmukh and telling the tale of street musician releases today. Directed by national award winning director Ravi Jadhav, Banjo is a tale of music, passion and spirit. The story is of Tarat who is a Banjo player.

Considered as a secondary instrument, no one pays heed to the Tarat's Banjo band until a New York resident spots them and plans to showcase their talent to the world. By the looks, the film is looks like a rags to riches story with some intense acting by an otherwise comic actor Riteish Deshmukh.

Will the film strike the right chord with the audience? Will the true talent of Banjo players come out through this film? Will Riteish give the performance of a lifetime with Banjo? Sameeksha from News18 is inside the theatre to find out.

12:23 PM: Amchi Mumbai feel with Ganesh Visarjan. Of course! #Banjo

12:28 PM: #NagrisFakri as an NRI instrument. Nice move by the makers. #Banjo

12:32 PM: #Banjo ki duniya ka bachchan is here. Straight outta man-hole!

12:38 PM: Money, street rivalry, friendship and 'beizzati' Tarat's band has it all. #Banjo

12:47 PM: Girls do wear shorts in Mumbai. Why are movie people oogling at Nargis' legs is beyond comprehension. #Banjo

12:53 PM: The makers have captured the real essence of Mumbai slums in #Banjo.

1:14 PM: No masala film is complete without a random 'heroic' fight. #Banjo

1:43 PM: The film's pace and story both are lost. The required emotional depth is missing. #Banjo

1:47 PM: "Ab aap ladki thodina hai, jo aapki naa mein bhi haan ho". The writer should watch #Pink, even if it was sarcastic it's not funny. #Banjo

2:04 PM: So the rags to riches story begins. Nothing extraordinary. #Banjo

2:08 PM: The music is too average for a film based on street music. #Banjo

2:26 PM: It's becoming boring and too predictable now. Looks like there is nothing left in the story. #Banjo

2:37 PM: Spot the 'asli artist' and pass on the momentum series continues. #Banjo

2:46 PM: The film is predictable with lack of emotions. However the makers were particular about keeping the music at the center. Plus point. #Banjo
