BREAKFAIL-Review



It's important to deliver what you promise. The heroine,heros and director himself claimed  & promised for a good laughter with BREAKFAIL . And what, after watching the film, you realize that the makers do deliver a film which offers some entertainment.

Throwing logic to the winds and employing every trick in the book of cinema to woo the moviegoer,Shankar Ghimire churns out a film that's enjoyable in most parts.

Yes, discrepancies do seep in, especially in the post-interval portions, but the glitches and blemishes can easily be overlooked since the makers never promised earth-shattering and path-breaking stuff in the first place.

Treat this film as an entertainer, without taxing your brains, and chances are you'd enjoy the film thoroughly!

BREAKFAIL is all about cheaters and the funny tragedies they cope with.



In terms of plot, BREAKFAIL doesn't offer path-breaking stuff, but sometimes there's more to a movie than story and this is one of those rare occasions when all the other elements pull together and lift the production. Frankly speaking, BREAKFAIL doesn't bore you and it delivers fun to your 2.10 hrs sitting time. It has some enjoyable moments, some uncooked jokes and popcorn entertainment.


Wait, there's another reason why BREAKFAIL works

Comedy isn't all in the material. Having funny lines and amusing gags is only half the battle. The rest is in the delivery and that's where the actors [Subash Thapa, Bimlesh Adhikari and Richa Ghimire ] excel. Some of what's found in BREAKFAIL is laugh-worthy also because of the way in which the actors emote and react.



The story revolves around Prayash [Bimlesh], Kosish[Niraj Baral], and Rashi [Richa Ghimire] -- three cheaters hang around  by their child-like notoriety, pig-like ambition and pretty business of conning people for fast and easy money. Rest is a funny ride of their not so funny adventure.


Directorially, Shankar Ghimire has not only shot the film exceedingly well, but has also concentrated on making each and every sequence thoroughly entertaining. Despite a feeble writing, Ghimire has tried to please the audience to toe.


Satya-Swroop's music is just about okay. The tunes are functional.


The background music (Rajan Ishan) is not much effective and doesn't enhance the impact of dramatic scenes. 


Cinematography [Raju Bickram Thapa] is excellent. Hats off for his believe in SOFT lensing.


BREAKFAIL is embellished with mixed performances and the best part is that the director has cast fresh actors who have shown their sincerity to their act. Bimlesh Adhikari is incredible, displaying his (Sometimes Loud- but ok) acting skill to the T. Subash Thapa - one of the most accomplished actors of the new generation,and his  versatility is more than evident - he acts like a buffoon when required, but breathes fire when the situation demands. Niraj Baral needs to work on his expressions. Richa Ghimire looks sultry, loud and very competent with this one. Rajesh Hamal is just a statue - fails to impress.


On the whole,BREAKFAIL has mixed possibilities . It'll appeal to those who enjoy light entertainers and also those who has grown seeing mindless comedy. But it won't appeal to those who feed to hardcore masala-entertainers. At the box-office, it will be a losing propositions mainly for the investors for it has no Big stars.
