Over the past few days, Arshad Warsi<\/strong> was in the\u00a0news for his statements over Akshay Kumar<\/strong> replacing him in Jolly LLB.<\/strong> Possibly that controversy would turn more ears than his latest movie ‘The Legend of Michael Mishra<\/strong>‘. The movie, despite having an innocent heart at its core, is\u00a0utter nonsense. Read the full The Legend of Michael Mishra Movie Review<\/strong> here.<\/p>\n

About The Legend of Michael Mishra<\/h2>\n

The Legend of Michael Mishra<\/strong> is a comedy movie written and directed by Manish Jha<\/strong>. The movie is produced by\u00a0Kishor Arora and Shareen Mantri Kedia.<\/strong> It features Arshad Warsi, Aditi Rao Hydari, Kayoze Irani and Boman Irani<\/strong> in main roles.<\/p>\n

Plot<\/h2>\n

Michael Mishra<\/strong> is a tailor turned gangster from Patna. He is a kingpin in the\u00a0field of Kidnapping and is constantly looking for a girl whom he met in childhood and fell in love. He has since never met her and the only identification he thinks of is her voice when she says ‘Hello<\/strong>‘. Finally, he meets that girl,\u00a0Varsha Shukla<\/strong> and starts living in her colony to start conversations. He decides to write a love letter<\/strong> and throws it to her apartment. She also throws a letter which reads that Michael should leave his way of living and be cooler<\/strong> as a groom should be. Michael takes it seriously and surrenders himself to police. He is sentenced to a punishment of ‘Kala Pani<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n

Will Varsha and Michael reunite? Watch the movie to know(please don’t<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Story, Screenplay, and Dialogues<\/h2>\n

The story had some potential of a brilliant comedy. But the screenplay<\/strong> of Michael Mishra pulls it back drastically. There are utter stupid plot points<\/strong> which do not make any sense. The structure of the movie appears to be like a tale for children<\/strong>. And keeping that in mind, the minor flaws are ignored. And that includes the factors like co-prisoners of Michael wearing casual clothes, major continuity errors<\/strong> and what else.<\/p>\n

The characters<\/strong> seem to emerge out of a Hindi comedy TV series, with the title character of Michael Mishra sounding a lot like ‘Bhabhiji<\/strong>‘ in the Bihari dialect. Overall, there is nothing extraordinary in the writing<\/p>\n

Performances<\/h2>\n

Nope.<\/strong> There is nothing worth noticing here as well. Arshad Warsi<\/strong> looks to play his routine<\/strong> self with a Bihari accent. Aditi Rao Hydari<\/strong> almost crosses the line of overacting<\/strong> often. Kayoze impresses<\/strong> as the Half Pant and it was actually better than<\/strong> the Full Pant portrayed by Boman Irani<\/strong>, his real life father.<\/p>\n

Music<\/h2>\n

Ishq Di Gaadi<\/strong> is a peppy song. And so is Luv Letter<\/strong>. Apparently, no other song will be remembered even as soon as someone exits the theater. I personally liked Phir Tu<\/strong> as well, but I doubt everyone will like it is well. The movie starts with a song that reminds the Pichchar Shuru<\/strong> song from Barfi!<\/strong>. But it does not have the same magic. Below average effort at music.<\/p>\n

Direction<\/h2>\n

Manish Jha clearly did not have a strong enough vision<\/strong> for this flick. He would have wanted to make a cult comedy, but ended up making a TV spoof<\/strong> of a possible comedy. However, we will agree that the movie has a pure heart<\/strong> at its core, but the movie as a piece of entertainment does not live up<\/strong> to the standards.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

The movie is loose,<\/strong> has below average<\/strong> acting performances. The music is forgettable<\/strong>. The story is ignorable.<\/strong> However, the edit of the movie is fine<\/strong> and it has pure intentions<\/strong>. Barely watchable,<\/strong> this movie is best ignored. Watch Budhia Singh: Born To Run<\/a><\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n
