DABANGG 2

Dabangg2- is not really something new- for me dabang 1 was far better. But, how does it matter??today if salman khan just stands in the movie-SHIRTLESS:) the movie will still be a blockbuster hit!- so keeping those sentiments aside, the movie had some disconnected pieces....some really funny moments....actions scenes.... loud songs and lots to admire abt chulbul pandey. sort of predictable as well..fevikol was sooooo funny.. but the namak was totally missing! ( irrespective of all this, i still enjoyed the movie and would watch again:)

THE LUNCHBOX

THE LUNCHBOX: is different! I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it greatly…but then I guess, that’s the beauty of the movie.. its simple…yet has many emotions that make you think along. The 1hr50 min movie, there is a housewife who wants to rebuild her marriage.. an aged man , ready to retire and a chirpy assistant- learning his new role. What I take back from the movie is- sometimes we do our routine things and accidently we meet certain people. Sometimes we connect to people on different levels..find happiness in small things, make new goals for ourselves…learn and shape our lives in a way we never really thought we would… these experiences suddenly become important and stay with us for life…. In this fast life- we may never want to step out of our comfort zone.. and typically that’s what Ila and Saajan do. The exchange of msg..life experiences with a complete stranger is special ;because- both don’t meet.. that’s the beauty.. and that’s how it continues… It was slightly slow for me from the entertainment perspective, but then again you cannot go for a hockey match expecting to see cheer leaders. I wanted some closure in the end… and in the end I gave myself the answer I wanted to know… Go for it to explore a different taste in your daily meal…

DON-2

dissapointed with Don 2:( bad bad movie!!! there were moments where you wonder whethr to laugh or ignore the nuisance... moments where u go like... seriously???? is this really happening! huh.. perhaps i expected a lot from farhan..

COCKTAIL

cocktail- such a waste....saif looks old, short and so confused...the story is predictable and a true cocktail of emotions..laughter, cries and everything else.... but, then there is nothing you will be surprised with.. its like eating popcorn and predicting whats gonna happen next and yay!!! ur right, may b that cud make u happy for a while when u again concentrate on popcorn, as the characters continue to cry...or experience some hurt.. the second half is intolerable.!!! however, the first half is nice, peppy ..fun and bright... penty and deepika look good and add color to the movie- saif should stop acting like a 20 yr old!! there are moments i wanted to slap him- he could easily fit the role of dipika's dad.... and there he goes flirting..... disgusting

JISM 2

jism-2: hilarious!!! ( if u go with zero expectation). u wud end up laughing at the dumb dialogues, and eventually get bored of the skin show. ...and probably hit the person next to u for no reason!- yes it can get a little hard to bear it ten mins into d movie. leone, has no potential to act, but does a gr8 job as a porn star:) arun..sud just give up trying to bring out emotions....his emotional development stopped at the age of 5.. hooda is hot in a few scenes, but wat a waste of talent!..there is hardly any characterization...substance in the plot... the only thing u wud enjoy is music....the lovely srilanka,(although i believe it cud b better).. and yes...keep eating popcorn throughout.. stopping tht can cause serious consequences...movie is just a backup plan...evn if u miss a few scenes...u wud b only glad:)

GANGS OF WASSEYPUR-2

gangs of wassepur 2- is a 3 hrs long movie, which would bring out your desi...real self... the movie has got a raw appeal, which will force you to enjoy the bhojpuri lyrics, feel for each character and clap at most of the swear words, pitched perfectly in the bihari ishtyle and oh the acting talent- mind blowing!!!..minute details.. building each character ...flaskbacks... all in place, but yes be attentive!.. by the end of 3 hrs, you would probably feel a strange satisfaction.. almost like reaching a closure...and go home with a slightly heavy heart with all the violence, yet feeling alright that all that happened u had been waiting to see from the last month!:) can i just add one more line- JAI JHARKHAND... "teri keh ke loonga" is my personal favortite.....

BARFI

Barfi: if you ask me to define love- i would say, watch Barfi! you would fall in love with the characters- ALL of them. Ranbir, priyanka and D'cruz- What an absolutely brilliant performance. the story, screenplay,direction,dialogues(whatever little there is), music has a fresh appeal, A+++ on that. The movie has its own pace, requires a certain kind of involvement and the innocence the actors bring into the movie- touches your heart.. Moving from the typical, normal life- Barfi gives you the chance to move away from the so called norm, and be a part of their life..their love story..their togetherness- Absolute bliss-pure and genuine!!! Sometimes, words are not enough to describe a feeling... Barfi leaves me feeling just that...!!!! Am speechless... and happy...

ENGLISH VINGLISH

Enligh Vinglish- is REAL!! what a come back SreeDevi:) somehow shasi's journey becomes your own journey... you feel for her, you laugh with her.. and that's because she is one of us... ( i think most of us, have met atleast one shashi in our lives for sure). beautifully made ... keeps you engaged throughout. Loved the movie...can watch again.. 3 cheers to this one!!!

SON OF SARDAAR

son of Sarddar- is a total masala- action-drama-laughter packed movie, where most characters IQ level is below 4!:) but at least you laugh... yes its stretched a lot ...but i was happy to see Salmaan khan twice ... that was enough for me:) ( & am not kidding, the audience went crazy for those 3 mins. of salman khan, and 2.5 hours of SRK cudnt create the same magic)

TALAASH

TALASH- makes u think! even though the narrative was slow, I was engrossed till the end. The brilliant star cast do justice to their characters &...the beauty of the movie lies in how it unfolds..yes, it is a lot about transpersonal, lets u belief in life beyond our understanding.... go for it, if you are okay to accept things u dont see regularly...( and definitely if you worship Amir). For direction, acting skills- it deserves an applause! Tip for Bangalorians: avoid going for night shows at REX, u may end up killing the many hooligans who scream and whistle randomly and u clearly know they are local dirty boys, who understand nothing- no hindi for sure!

MATRU KI BIJLI KA MANDOLA

Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola: a lil strange! i dont know whether to ask you to leave ur brains at home... or carry them, since its vishal bharadwaj movie!ummm... this time- leave it behind. story i would say was avg, but i still enjoyed the comedy bit- the dialogues, the slangs...ahhhh:) brilliant. it was actually funny! i laughed and laughed..genuinely nice. imran is a waste...anushka is trying to get over shruti kakkad avtaar.. but pankaj kapoor steals the show! tips: you want might want to be a lil drunk to 'actually' enjoy the movie..

KAI PO CHE

Kai Po Che: is filled with lovely moments. revolves around real friendship.. while they find meaning in life..through cricket..bussiness...love...passion... and how their lives change with earthquakes and riots... the screenplay builds up the tempo slowly- and by the end...you are left speechless...atleast i was! great casting- and sushant was gr8 as a debutant.... each character was defined beautifully.. overall a good movie... worth a watch! 3 CHEERS to KAI PO CHE

I ME AUR MAIN

I,me aur main: not too bad!! even though there are cliche moments, terrible acting, those moments when you go... O.K.A.Y!! basically find hard to digest... but there is something abt the movie which is really good. I guess its the concept and story, but then there is something wrong with the execution- its a little rushed.. too quick..the emotional transitions are not clean... there are highs as well!, but doesnt stay long enough. music is fab.. and leaves me wit mixed feelings. feel good one time watch...(okay..may b two!) not a bad choice for weekend:) enjoy maadi

BOMBAY TALKIES

BOMBAY TALKIES: is like reading chicken soup for the soul! I loved it- each and every bit! each story made me feel so many emotions so strongly- deep, genuine and direct dil se! hats off to the directors and especially the actors- for bringing out emotions so beautifully and effortlessly..it didn't seem overdone- precise and to the point. short and crisp!!- and just the 'perfecttttt' emotions by each and every actor... .trust me i 'felt' connected to every character- the dialogues..everything.. A true emotional high! this movie is REAL... not something i have watched in ages..... dont miss this one!

GO GOA GONE

GO GOA GONE: is hilarious- and in the right way:) the dialogues are funny, masaledaar with all the 'right words' ( hihihihih). there are many scenes which are unforgettable- and each character does justice to their roles. HArd-dick and Luv along with bunny suit their roles perfectly with the desi russian- "haan delhi ka launda hoon BC" and wat accent. the funny bit is admist all the bloodshed, gore, stabbing, shooting the brains and an island full of walking dead people- there is so much comedy happening..AHHH my jaws are still hurting as i remember hardik's jai hind salute to god, bunny's face as he repeats no no no--- while standing on the top of the tower waiting for his friends to rescue him.. and the last merry go around the trees with romantic music, with item turned zombie chases hardik- stays in the mind even whn the movie ends- Its worth a watch... may be more than 1 watch:) 4/5 for this one. thanks Runa Sen - this was a much needed date with you:)

RAANJHANAA

Raanjhaana: touched my heart... very deep...made me smile... laugh.. and yes cry... Dhanush is extraordinary~ there is nothing abt his looks to die for, but he acts so well. his performance is outstanding. From the lafanga, smitten in love to the last dialogue in the movie- it was all abt him!! ranhana is his movie! Sonam has tried to act, and in a few scenes tried harder:) Abhay in his short performance, is good...and dimples are to die for. Oh now, let me not talk about death ( runa cudnt control her tears- so yes, this does deserve a 3 start atleast) music is good... and the dialouges...beautiful i say! personal fav: last dialouge, first half of the movie and the unexpected twists... Go for it- its all about love.. but not the typical romance.. enjoy it, and e prepared to carry the thoughts at the movie home..

LOOTERA

Lootera: is beautiful! its a tale which takes you back in the 1950's and introduces you to a very deep, heart touching love story... Sadiyon purani, aisi aik kahani ankahee reh gayi- tells you there is sadness mixed, but u dont know what, till the story unfolds and the last masterpiece is right there! complicated emotions .. perfectly enacted , the first half is a treat to watch, the second half was slower..much slower than i had expected. but as everyone knows- ranveer singh's presence itself is a plus, and so i will b biased( man, u have to see him... he is soooo good) n so is sonakshi. Go for it, for lovely music and ranveer singh ♥♥ and because i say so!

BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag: is beautiful!! not becz i could see Farhan Akhtar shirtless throughout ( i mean yes that counts) but also bcz, the biography is captured so well. I dont know the real life of Milkha, but if what's shown on screen is true, I just have to say WOW...childhood trauma..dedication... hard work and achievement!is wht BHB is about:) it reminds me of Pan singh tomar, especially the si...See More

CHENNAI EXPRESS

chennai express: lets call it chennai explode... is a mass entertainer. a little too dragged, with lil oveacting .. n lil too much color...n a lot of tamil . the first half is cute, and the accent of Dp is funny...the beautiful south india and DP's sarees- paisa wasool! srk movies ka recap including ddlj scene was a OH NO!! moment for me.. but i still laughed.. see, thats wht happens in rohit shetty movies. No, dont ask for logic, just enjoy the lungi dance and may be by the end u will b able to understand tamil:)

SHUDH DESI ROMANCE

Shudh desi romance: is a one time watch! on the good side.. The movie is fresh ...colorful...the modern day city romance is done well.. With witty parts and some laugher..but the larger picture is repetitive...confusing and irritating. I get the point... The fear of commitment is what is rubbed in throughout.. I was bored.. May be because old school romance ...ddlj appeals more. This doesn't...
