Fight Club: Members Only (2006)
Fight to see the complete movie!!
In the first place, the name of the movie is itself misplaced, leave the actors! The idea of fight club evaporates soon after police raided the place and in the second half, it has nothing to with fight club, apart from bringing it as a faint link to a murder.
And yes, the movie has also nothing to do with the Hollywood movie with the same name. The story-writer (that too Sohail Khan!!) tried hard to keep the story away from that movie, but after some time, he got off the track and followed the age-old B-grade bollywood movie formula..."vengeance". Four friends got together to build fight club where everybody will settle their problem through duel. After a short stint of laughable fight (including cat fight), soon police raid the place and our heroes gave up their idea. Wait, they got some other reason to be engaged...the uncle of Somail got murdered and our lads went to Delhi to run the night club owned by him. The dreaded gang-lord (Rahul Dev, aided with Ashmit Patel) came heavily after them. After that, the story ran to every direction possible and I am afraid to pen it down here. Forgive me.
In a movie where most of the actors are model-turned-actor or vice-versa (!) you can not expect much acting. Actually, it is not their fault. Without a story or direction, they don't have any option other than showing funky clothing or chiseled bodies. Ashish Chowdhry did his best to bring some moronic comedy, but thanks to him, these were some rare relief-time in the movie! And thanks to Sohail Khan, the producer, too for not bringing five heroines for five heroes! Amrita Arora and Diya Mirza are enough to establish the fact that "standing in front of the camera has nothing to do with acting"!! Suniel Shetty and Sohail Khan tried to enact some no-non-sense godfather-like roles, but with a wooden face, one can not really help a movie much. The brightest point of the movie is Ashmit Patel. With straight hairdo he tried with wear a stealthy cool assassin look, and to some extent, he is successful.
The bottom-line is that if you want some popcorn movie with some 'flying' action you can try this one at you on risk. But if you want a good movie, never ever try.
