X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, the fifth of the immensely popular X-Men Series releases this weekend and going by the buzz surrounding the film, this one sure looks like a blockbuster!
Not only is the film gaining an overwhelming response from across the world; but some of our desi superheroes are also raving about the action blockbuster! Shah Rukh Khan, who has already gone on record to say that he was inspired to make RA.ONE after watching X-Men films, recently had an exclusive screening of X-MEN: FIRST CLASS at Mannat for him and his family. He absolutely loved the film and said “I thought it was a fantastic movie – the best of the series. It makes you want to revisit the other X-MEN movies all over again. I am hoping RA.ONE is a step for Hindi cinema in this direction.”
Ace businessman Mukesh Ambani too, is all praises for the film, “X-MEN: FIRST CLASS is highly entertaining... one of the finest superhero films I've seen. It is the best entertainer since the IPL!!” The business baron, after having seen the film at a private screening, was so impressed that he arranged for another screening for his family and friends!
Noted filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who has also seen the film twice already quips, “It’s very interesting to see comic book characters merge with history. I had a good time!”
Ashutosh Gowarikar who saw the movie in hindi at a special screening quips, "I find the X-MEN series fascinating. They have a mystical quality about them. All the mutant characters are stunning and especially the characters of Charles and Magneto! So when X-MEN: FIRST CLASS came out, I was very keen to see the back story of how Charles and Magneto were friends at first and what led them to become enemies. I saw the Hindi dubbed version because my good friend Saahil Chaddha is the voice of Charles. He has done a superb rendition and given Charles the much required emotional connect, which is a difficult thing to do. All the voiceovers are superbly done. It was a pleasure to see the X MEN: FIRST CLASS in Hindi."
KUCCH LUV JAISAA director Barnali Shukla who went for the same screening quips, “X MEN: FIRST CLASS Hindi is exciting, entertaining and has a heart. Once it kick starts, you just don’t notice the language it connects instantly. Great voicing by all artists.”
Actor/ Director Saurabh Shukla, who was also present at the Hindi screening said, “X MEN: FIRST CLASS hindi is a Fun Ride with lot of heart…you can see all your favorite actors together. Voicing was so wonderful that it sounded almost a little better than the original.”
Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios India says, “Indian audiences have already picked up the positive reviews from across the world and the excitement around the film is soaring high. We are sure that movie buffs will thoroughly enjoy this summer entertainer”.
Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, and January Jones along with many others, the film is being raved about Worldwide for its gripping storyline, spectacular action sequences and stunning performances! Critics worldwide are describing the film as ‘The best summer blockbuster of 2011’’ and ‘The finest flick since THE DARK KNIGHT’. Even audiences who have not seen the previous parts are finding the film highly compelling on the big screen since it’s like the start of a new franchise altogether!
For those who came in late, the X-Men films are a series of superhero movies revolving around a team of mutants, who consider themselves as the next stage in human evolution, because of their unique superpowers. The films revolve around the mutants’ quest to harness their powers and create their unique place in this World.
