Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Spandan Sinha (spandan888) This film is a story of a few students who after getting the marks just above the passing percentage are refused admission in every college. They then decide to make a fake university by the name F.A.L.T.U. (faltu meaning useless) to save their faces in front of their parents. Trouble starts when actual students with a similar dilemma arrive at their college.The story is straight forward, with no romance side stories, there are a lot of songs and dances, but it adds to the fun.The actors are fresh faces, with Arshad Warsi and Reitesh Deshmukh playing their mentors. The acting is of acceptable standards.Overall the important message of following your heart especially if the education system has failed to appreciate their other talents is portrayed in positive manner.
GaneshKSalian F.A.L.T.U directed by Remo D Souza and a copy of Hollywood film "Accepted" must have been done with good intentions bur fails to strike a chord.The movie is very bad.Story: After barely making it through their Secondary School Certificate examinations, Ritesh Virani, whose father is a Kabadia, is unable to get admission in any college. He is not the only one though, his pals Pooja Nigam and Nanj Nair are also in the same leaky boat. They attempt in vain to secure admission through the father of their scholarly pal, Vishnu Vardhan. Then Ritesh's father decides to fire his hired help and get his son to do the work, and Pooja's dad decides to get her married, the desperate friends get together and concoct a fake college 'Fakirchand And Lakirchand Trust University', with the help of their money-lender friend, Google Chand. They recruit school-teacher, Baaji Rao, as Principal, whose performance is unacceptable by his school principal due to lewd references to 'Munni's Badnami' and 'Sheila's Jawani'. Google Chand offers them a derelict mansion in Panchgani, which they must renovate, invite their respective parents and show them that they have finally been accepted in college. Things get out of hand when scores of youngsters with poor marks show up, insisting on being admitted. Unable to handle the situation, the group let things ride - but not for long - for soon the police and Mr. Vardhan will get involved - threatening to burst their bubble once and for all.The movie tries so hard to make you laugh.The story is copied so no marks for that.The direction is bad.The music is good.Performances:- Ritesh Deshmukh and Arshad Warsi save the show from going awry.They are awesome.The rest of the actors fail to create impact.All in all F.A.L.T.U is bad.
Anish Misra STORY:- Ritesh, Niranjan, Pooja and Vishnu are best friends.Life takes a turn when Vishnu secures a 94% and while the rest just pass the exams. This just pass doesn't get them admission in any college. Vishnu is also sad for them. Ritesh decides to make a fake college called 'Fakirchand And Lakirchand Trust university' in order to escape their parents anger. With the help of Google and Bajirao they make a college but with disastrous and hilarious results.WRITING:- The story is about the youth of today who the world thinks are just useless. Also there are some parts wherein you think the story is going bizarre,. But apart from all that it entertains and conveys a strong message. (1.5/2.5)MUSIC:- The music is great and is for the youth of today. Sachin-Jigar have done a great job. (1.5/2.5)ACTING:- The acting from the cast is quite good especially Jackky, Chandan, Pooja and Angad. Arshad brings a comic environment to the film. Ritesh also does the same. Akbar khan was great. Mithun Da and Boman were also great despite having a small role in the film. (2.5)DANCE:- The dances are great especially of the last song. (1.5/2.5)BEST SCENE:- I liked the scene wherein Ritesh and Arshad tell that education is not only Science, Commerce and Arts but can also be of your hobbies.
Himanshu Desai F.A.L.T.U. as obvious from the promos is very much inspired by Accepted (2006, I remember the movie tickled my funny bones).The movie marks the debut of Remo as a bollywood director.(He has a Bengali film in his bag as director).I had quite low expectations from the movie though the music was awesome.But I must say i under rated Remo. The movie is total-fun. The first half of the movie is as smooth as the original one. Funny dialogues, rich cinematography and sizzling star cast (yes the actress is charmer).The problem starts in the second half. The movie loses its pace here.Screenplay gets quirky. Some meaningless melodrama here and some unwanted sequences(the film could have been tighter by 10 minutes).By the mid of second half I thought that the attempt is not honest.The sudden transformation of genre from comedy to drama is a bit jerky. But all this complains came to an end as soon as the climax arrived( thanks to the ace choreography by Remo, something world class!). In last 10 minutes you feel that the effort by Remo is honest and honest enough to overtake the original movie.You cant manage but smile in the end when you leave the theater.Not to forget the tremendous audience response at the theaters(commendable as the world cup fever is on). If the world cup trivia and more hyped (GAME) was not the hurdle, the movie would have been a super hit for sure.Lets see how far it can go now.Frankly the concept(though copied) is better than 3 Idiots (I personally find the movie over ratted).One should see it for sure.
