Release Date : 2014-05-30
The story is about four friends who were happy until they
fall in love. Everyone's life goes for a toss once they fall for some or the
other girl. This film is about their experiences and the lessons learnt in
love.
Performance:
Revanth is alright with looks and Maanas impresses with his
simple yet effective portrayal. He is a talent to watch out for. Rakshita is
alright as one of the female leads. Shilpa Sharma tries to make a mark with
excessive skin show. Dimple is okay. There is nothing much to write about other
actors who are mostly mediocre at the best.
Technicalities:
Direction: Director lifted the basic idea of the film from
Hindi hit Pyar Ka Punchnama. But this film clearly lacked the Punch that the
original had. Director messed it up big time after the initial few minutes. The
director couldn't make some interesting scenes work with his pathetic direction
skills. He has resorted to double meaning comedy to keep things flowing, but
that turned out to be a utter disaster.
Music: JB's music hardly impresses. None of the songs have
repeat value and few of them suddenly pops up making viewers search for the
nearest exits. Background score is too loud and out of sync.
Others: Dialogues are good in parts. Cinematography is fine
in some sequences. Editing is a letdown. Production values are alright for the
film made on a low scale.
Thumbs Up:
Introductory scenes
Maanas performance
Thumbs Down:
screenplay
Poor Direction
Gay comedy track
Analysis:
Green Signal could have been a decent fare had the director
stuck to the basics. He had the material sourced from an impressive Bollywood
flick Pyar Ka Punchnama. Despite having that at hands, he made a mess of it by
trying to deal it in his own style. There are certain moments that may appeal
to the audience that are not aware of Pyar Ka Punchnama.
Those moments are rare and far apart that it will be a huge
test to bear the rest of the movie. The movie turns utterly predictable and the
extra efforts put in to generate comedy backfired big time. Few scenes will
make you cringe and move uncomfortably in your seats. Last half an hour turns
out to be a horrible affair that will nullify all other positive aspects of the
movie.
Green Signal is a classic example of bad filmmaking. The
screenplay of this film will make anybody guess what is coming up next and make
them feel like a better filmmaker. Green Signal will go down as one of the bad
remakes that have never respected the original. We don't recommend this film
for anyone. You may watch it at your own peril.
Caution: Almost Red
