Who'd have guessed it? Another Bollywood film that borrows brazenly from Hollywood. This time round David Fincher's cult thriller Fight Club, is the seed of inspiration for writer/director Vikram Chopra, who enrolls a huge ensemble cast headed by Zayed Khan, as a man who begins an anarchic subculture. In no way, shape or form as engaging or psychologically cunning as the original, Fight Club - Members Only is more slapstick than brutal when it comes to dishing out the blows.
When Vicky (Zayed Khan) starts an underground fight club where fellow college students can settle scores, his pals Somil (Riteish Deshmukh), Karan (Dino More) and Diku (Aashish Chaudhary) are only too happy to help him ring in the cash. But soon their expertise is needed to win back Somil's family nightclub, which has been taken over by a gang lord (Ashmit Patel) who intends on turning it into a drugs den. Enlisting the help of local bouncer Sameer (Sohail Khan), the friends join forces against the evil crime boss. Funny how amidst fisticuffs they find time to indulge in a song and dance with their respective girlfriends, played by Amrita Arora, Dia Mirza and Neha Dhupia.
"TAKES THE SAFE ROUTE"
Needless to say the cute romances and musical routines end up disrupting the drama, leaving the core fight scenes to fade into the background. While Brad Pitt and Edward Norton brought brains and brawn to the table and helped carry their Fight Club to it's final dark twist, Chopra's leading men and adapted storyline take the safe route by using their secret society to tackle a powerful adversary. The outcome is an amusing, but poorly executed, flick that packs a light punch.
In Hindi with English subtitles.
