Tanu Weds Manu – review

Romantic comedy developed in the back drop of arrange marriage setup. It offers nothing special but can charm you. Some of the best scenes of the movie are shown by simple eye contacts and smiles with no talking but on the other hand few scenes are disappointingly lengthy with constant blabbering.

'Sadi Gali' and 'Mannu Bhaiyya' gives a different flavor to the movie.

Kangna gels very well in the role of care a damn attitude girl, while Madhavan does very well in his true good to be true boys role. Other supporting actors also do well. You can watch it once.

True Grit – review

It’s a film about death. A film about loss, revenge and what stirs a spirit of self-sacrifice in a character. Mattie directs the life of US bounty hunter reluctantly riding with her for money to hunt down a guy who killed her father.

Steinfeld is astonishing in her composure and conviction, Jeff and Matt are also very convincing. Nicely picturised but nothing extraordinary.

7 Khoon Maaf - review

It’s a film of Susanna a beautiful lass, her half a dozen husband’s and her search for love. Each being an army major, rock star, sensitive poet, kind doctor, handsome Russian, police office and have their own nasty streaks.

Vishal tried to give each episode a touch of reality by giving references to Kargil war, Babri Masjid demolition, Pokharan nuclear explosion, IC-814 hijack and is brilliantly shot and enacted short stories. Except Darling, rests of the songs are disappointing though gelling well with the movie atmosphere.

Superb acting by Priyanka Chopra and men are equally engaging. Even Ruskin Bound the writer is in special role says “It all comes down to love, sweetheart” to sum up the movie. A must watch film having few unanswered questions like did the husbands deserve to die? Were the murders out of necessity or pure blood-lust? Who’s the 7^th victim?

Paul - review

A story of fugitive, slacker alien and 2 geeks. Though repeated references to star war, star trek, Raiders of the Lost Ark and at times uneven pace makes it a bit dull but still its able to make you giggle with its situational comedy, chemistry between the 3 and a tinch of romance acting as spice.

It’s one of those movies which you can watch again to discover the things you missed on the 1st time. Just go and watch it!!!

Utt Pataang - review

It’s a comedy thriller having double role of big star of small films Vinay Pathak. A chaotic noir film with chaotic narration but still able to maintain the interest of viewers to some level. It’s a movie for small screen and not big screen. On the whole, a mediocre movie with nice acting. Can be watched if you don’t have anything else to do.

Patiala House - review

It’s not a movie about love, cricket but it’s about life. It’s based on relationship between patriotic father, marionette son and how son wakes up to the 2nd chance to follow his passion. It’s a movie about attachments, affiliations and familial bonding, about respect and trying to adjust to contradictory values that generally crop up when one relocates to another country. The well connected plots takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride of highs and lows.

Though nothing new except the backdrop of cricket and expectations are zilch but superb acting by Akshay after Namaste London makes it a hit material after so many duds.

Just go for it!!!

The Fighter - review

‘The Fighter’ is a darkly funny, cleaver Massachusetts based true story of a boxer. It’s not another Rocky or Cinderella Man instead its story of relationships and need. It’s a piece with manic energy and a great balance between edgy, dark humor and addiction to family, past, and drugs.

A movie has so many depressing elements but still uplifting. It’s predictable but still one of this year’s present surprises.

Yeh Saali Zindagi - review

Zindagi pe tera mera, kis ka na zor hai. Hum sochte hai kuch, yeh sochti kuch aur hai… goes very well in introducing the theme of the movie. This could be the move twisted love story of the year with so many characters, sub –plots, flash – backs, intrigues and counter-intrigues. Each characters life is interwoven in a web of desire, deceit and determination in this audaciously staged, wildly choreographed thriller with romance at the centre.

The movie is zany and racy entertainer with an idea of projecting mess and chaos. The fascinating part is that every character finds a humor in its situation and still retaining their shady side. Go and watch it.
