 While everyone’s talking about how Amitabh Bachchan’s Pink and Emraan Hashmi’s Raaz Reboot has clashed at the box office, there is another film that is also making people talk a lot about it. And it has a shark in it!
The Shallows is a Hollywood film that released this Friday in Indian, after making waves at the international box office, Touted as the best shark film after Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, The Shallows have revived people’s interest in the genre, after sharks have been exploited by the likes of B-grade and C-grade flicks like Sand Sharks, Megalodon, Sharknado, Two headed Shark, Shark Night and others. What’s interesting about The Shallows is that has only a few characters and the film almost entirely focuses on the beautiful Blake Lively and her cat and mouse game with a great white shark (the sam bro who trouble a sleepy beach town years ago in Jaws).
While Pink is making waves, even The Shallows is enough waves as well, thanks to the survival genre that had given hits like Gravity and The Martian. Here’s what our review has to say about the film, “The film’s real winner is Blake Lively, of course. Apart for a scene or two, she is there in very frame, and it’s her enigmatic performance that lends enough credibility to the plot. Not only is she a treat to look at, she owns every scene with dexterity, be it those surfing scenes or when she gets stranded on a rock, injured, and with a sea gull for company. With a lesser performer, the film would have fallen flat, Despite several flaws, The Shallows is still a thrilling experience thanks to a few high-tension moments and Blake Lively‘s fantastic performance. Though not in league as Jaws, this can still qualify as the second best entry in films where shark plays an antagonist
However, if you have not noticed something, both Pink and The Shallows have some similarities, apart from their release date. Oh, haven’t you? Well, let’s make your life easier by telling you the similarities we found in both the films.
# The easy one. Both the films revolve around female characters who find themselves in dangerous situations, without meaning to – one image-threatening, while the other life-threatening!
# The villain of both the movies (Angad Bedi in Pink and the shark in the other) are act menacing towards our female leads, for no damn reason, apart from the fact that they are in their turf!
# After suffering a lot in the initial proceedings thanks to the villains, the girls finally come on tops towards the end. Though we have to admit that the girls in Pink had some help in Amitabh Bachchan’s lawyer, but then even Blake Lively also had an unusual helper in a dead whale!
So have you seen both the films? What did you think of them?
