Movie Review - Guess which movie?

Dear All,

This is not a trick but just want to know whether you can guess the film right?

This film was known for its vulgar scenes & story, however contrary it
is a film with tragic and emotional story.

It is a love story of a young boy & girl.

The lead pair fall in love after small quarrle at shopping mall.

The girl, by nature very strong, determined and exactly knows what she
wants. The boy from affulent family having problem with his father.

The girl know about safe sex and sex eduction & while making love
draws a line with valid point. The boy insists for marriage, for
which girl is ready but boy's father objects. Boy & girl go ahead &
get married.

Since boy's father do not approve marriage, boy decides to part away
from his family. Boy needs to do MBA for getting job, girl take up
the responsibility for earning by giving tutions.

They have to live in small apartment with minimum facility.

With the girl's support, boy clear his MBA & beg a decent job. Now
they shift to new house and enjoy comfortable living.

After some time, they tired of daily routine life and decided to add
some excitemnt by having a baby.

Unable to conceive, consults doctor. Medical reports indicates that
the girl is sufferring from cancer and very few months are left in her
life.

Boy get depressed, on doctors' advise decided to take best care of a
girl and fulfill her all wishes / desires.

He takes loan from his father, take a months' leave from job and
headed for vacations to Kerala. Though he wanted to take her abroad
but on girl's insistence, they goes to Kerala.

They spent quality time and enjoy every bit of moments.

After some days, girl feels weak and she tell the boy that she knows
that she is having cancer. She also tells that she is not depressed
or worried rather she wanted to live every moment of her remaining
life.

Her only wish is that boy should take care of her father, unite with
his family and remarry.

In the end she takes the promise from the boy and leaves, boy unite
with his family.

The film was infamous due to n number of smooching scenes between the
lead pair, however, such scenes are become part of the film only both
are married and when the girl is terminally ill.

The script and dialogues are very good. There are senes which
highlights the need of sex education and its importance.

The film's publicity was focussed on sex term only rather than its
interesting story and contents.

If the film wouldn't have got the negative publicity, it could have
been one of the good films for mature audience.

Oh... i want you to guess the film and write on the comment part.. i
will publish the winners' name.

Movie Review - Roman Holidays

Roman Holiday is a 1953 romantic comedy directed and produced by William Wyler and starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance; the screenplay and costume design also won. - - wikipedia


It is a story of a princess accidentally taking a day off :in disguise" out of her busy political schedule, in the street of rome.

The press reporter accompanies her with a intention to get sensational story. He also called up his photographer friend for evidence.  The joy ride started to roll, from a hair cut to hotel, scooter ride to accidents, party on a ship deck and fight with police.  Princess lives of the day the way she wants and reporter remains her partner through out.

Ultimately both fell in love but princess has to return leaving him alone.

Next day on press meet, both meet but as a stranger.

Only their eyes do talking , it acknowledge the previous day, love, sorry and lastly says good bye.

The chemistry & acting of lead pair is good and screen play & direction is fantastic.

I love the movie very much for its simplicity & non filmy end.

Film Review - The Dirty Picture

One of the highest grosser film of the year 2011.

There is only one hero in this film i.e. Vidya Balan.

If dialogues & screen play can be considered as characters then both
of them are best supporting actors of the movie.

From the first frame till the last, the film keeps on giving shockers.

The story is simple, a village girl runs away from her village to
reach Chennai with a dream to become a film star. By dodging obstacles
and with her sex appeal, she sizzles on silver screen and became the
biggest star.

However lack of recognition from society, her family & friends and
lack of support from her boy friend, her actiong career go hay-wire.
Inspite of her desparate efforts she loses her position and ultimately
ends her life.

The dialogues and scene picturisation is superb and worth watching.

Though vulgarity & nudity was the subject, director was able to divert
the attention to the acting ability of leading lady and her sad story.

Must see for matured audience.

Film - Ocean 11 & Ocean 12

Film :Ocean 11 & Ocean 12

Recently I have seen, on recommendation from my friend, OCEAN 11 & OCEAN 12.

Ocean 11 is story of the biggest robbery planned & executed by Mr.Ocean along with help of his 10 buddies.

The first part of movie sets the atmosphere of biggest robbery plans by pick & choose of gang members. Mr. Ocean (George Clooney) & Mr. Rusty (Brad Pitt) are chief planner & they form the gang & also arranges the financer. Their plan is to rob LA Casino not 1 or 2 but total 3 casinos cash worth aprox. 150 Million Dollars.

The best part is how they get in & get out from the casino. The owner of Casinos loose all his cash along with his lady love. The lady love (Julia Roberts) was ex-wife of Mr. Ocean. He gets money as well as his love back.

I have never seen Gorge Clooney’s movie earlier, I like the way he is. He is cool guy & owner of pleasant personality. Brad Pitt at his best, with something or other in hand for eating, at all times.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

It prompted me to see OCEAN 12.

Ocean 12 film starts post 3 years, Ocean 11. All the guys are rich & enjoying their new life. Life for some people is fun for others boring. Some uneasiness felt in their routine normal life. They are not comfortable.

Now, the owner of Casino is back & knocking the doors each & every member of OCEAN 11. They have to pay back the sum they have looted along with the interest of 3 years.

All stunned & they have no option to come together to plan new robbery to pay back as their cash in hand is not enough, again interest thereon for 3 years add to their worries.

Actually the main culprit behind their misfortune is one smart thief & they have to beat him to save their souls.

It is little tricky & boring. Some times we don’t understand what happening how the best buddies are get caught up. At the end of the movie I feel that they are trying to fool everyone including the viewer.

In any case with this big cast & pressure of earlier successful film their effort is just at par.

I like the way; the film shows life of gang members post robbery. They are trying to normalise their living & lives the life they thought. However as hard as tries they feel they are unable to adjust themselves.

Their dream come true is not happening as expected. Everybody is some way or another frustrated with his or her new, normal, routine life. At one point of time, Mr. Ocean also vocalize that he always have the urge for doing something challenging like robbery even if he had more than enough money.

“Once a thief remains the same for life time”.

The film is not as good as Ocean 11, however One time view is Ok for Ocean 12.

With love,

Film : Italian Job

As I have decided to write my observation / comments / review on books & films, I am full on to BOOKS, watching MOVIES on DVD recommended movies by my friends.

I am still skipping some of the movies that I have recently seen viz.

Delhi 6 ( I don’t want to write bad review about a film made with genuine efforts but lost somewhere)
Slumdog Millionaire ( So much written about this film so not to waste myself)
Khoobsurat ( I have no capacity to write review which will convincingly tell my feelings, it is very feel good, family oriented, stress buster & well meaning movie. Must see for all).
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi ( I don’t feel to write anything about this movie, however music is good, specially the title song).

Now move on to English Movies I have seen, it includes 300, Darknight (Batman), Exorcism, Italian Job, Red Eyes, Ocean 11, Ocean 12 etc..

I am inclined to write review of Italin Job & Ocean Series, for 300 I have already written, & others will do on their merits.

First,

Italian Job,

This is movie about 6 thieves leaded by Charlie, the planner. One is dashing driver, one computer expert, one explosive expert, one master key-man (who can decode any locks) & one smart guy.

They plan to break the treasury full of gold bricks. The planning made by Charlie to the minute details & for each & every movements. They do successfully & their tricks to fool policy guys are awesome. However their joy of success vanish as that smart guy double cross them & take away all the money. He also tries to kill all but only one person i.e. master key-man got killed.

After 2/3 years, the same gang found out the smart guy & with the help of daughter of master key-man, plan to rob the smart guy.

It involves meticulous planning & they are against the person who knows their moves. All plans get tumbled down, again re-plans, new plans & lots of action…

The movie is good as far as action & tricks shown. I like the movie but not that much…

FASHION - Film Review

Film Review – Fashion

Directed by Mr. Madhur Bhandarkar

Main Cast : Ms.Priyanka Chopra, Ms. Kangna Ranawat, Ms.Mugdha Godse


Mr. Madhur Bhandarkar is one of the finest director of Mumbai Film Industry. (I don’t’ use the word - Bollywood).

His first movie was Trishakti (Badly Flopped), then came, Chandani Bar toplining Tabu (It was huge hit), then I think Satta (Ravina Tondon), Page 3 (Konkana Sen Sharma), Corporate (Bipasha Basu), Traffic Signal ( Kunal Khemu, Neetu Chandra). In between one action flick with Akshay Kumar – Aan –Men at Work (flopped) was also came.

He is talented & handled women centric movie very well.

His recent movie “Fashion” is shown that he is guru in this field.

Fashion is not the story about fashion or glamour world. It is the story of Meghna Mathur, a small town girl who wants to conquer Glamuor Hub Mumbai & to become a Model .. no Super Model. The story moves with her journey from bottom to top & again nose-diving to bottom in the fashion world. The story gets progressive when same girl try to make come back.

The movie depicts the small town girl with attitude & luck climbs up the ladder of success & how her attitude turns to arrogance & ultimately her failure & exit from the fashion world. Whilst making comeback she have to struggle more hard than the earlier.

Ms Priyanka Chopra plays the character of Meghna, alongwith her, Ms. Kangan Ranawat dons the character of Ex Super Model & Ms. Mughda Godse (debuting from modeling to Films) as struggling model. Ms. PC has done good job & delivery her performance with ease. But the Ms. KR steals the show. Her characterization & acts is too good. For Ms. MG, considering her first movie, looks good & promising.

I would like to make special mention of the music of the film. As compared to Mr. Madhur Bhandarkars’ earlier movies, this movies music is very good, all the songs like Jalwa, Fashion Ka Hain Yeh Jalwa, Mar Jawa Meet Jawa, Kuch Khas Hain. I like the music very much. The music is composed by Mr. Salim Suleiman duo.

This movie is schedule to telecast on TV – UTV Movies most probably this week end,

See it & enjoy, ( However beware UTV Movies drags last portion of movie too much),

Film Review - "300"

Film Review – 300

This is the bang on movie.

I have read the review of this movie in Gujarati Paper. The writer was very amused by movie & applauded very much. I thought I should see the movie.

At that time, movie was out of theater & only recourse left was to see in DVD. I have recently purchased DVD player & was trying to get the DVD of “300” from my friend but of no use. My friend Prasad was also floored by the movie & strongly recommended me to see that movie.

One fine evening ultimately I purchased a DVD which contained 5 movies, one was “300”.

This long wait has increased by expectations from the movie.

The same night, I have seen this “Jabardast movie”. The movie is marvelous & worth seeing.

This is the story from ancient Europe and about SPARTIAN. Spartians are the people who are known for their bravery. At the time of birth of new child, if he/she is not perfect, they killed them. Each & every child of spartian goes through rigorous training & become the perfect warrior. The warrior, who will never run away from the battleground, never will bent their knees against the rivals. They will kill or be killed.

The movie is about 300 spartians fighting against lacs of soldiers. They chalked out such a perfect plan to counter the rivals that only 300 spartians keeps on killing lacs & lacs of rival soldiers.

The action, editing, photography, story narration, styling of the movie is at its best.

I do not know the lead actors but their performance where up to the mark.

I can write lot about the movie but to understand its impact you have to see the movie. Those who have seen this movie will agree with me.

I am planning to see movie once more.

This is must see for all people except those who do not like action flicks & / or war movie showing killings all over.

"AAMIR" The movie

I have read the review of "Aamir" movie in Hindustan Times, where Mr.Khalid Mohd. has given good review.

Normally Mr. Khalid Mohd. is very harsh film critic. Therefore, I thought this movie should be good.

It happened one day, I got to see the movie “Aamir”.

It was damn good movie. Great script, good direction and fast speed of movie alongwith superb acting by its main lead Mr.Rajiv Khandelwal.

The story is very simple but very gripping.

An NRI returned “Muslim” Doctor on arrival of India learns that his family is kidnapped. He receives instruction through mobile (“incoming only”) and have to follow the same to save the life of his family. He has to run here and there as guided through mobile (caller – unidentified till the end) and have to obey orders to save the day. His each move is known to the caller.

His journey starts from Airport to various Muslim dominated parts of Mumbai and end at Bus with red Briefcase containing (guess what!) a bomb.

Aamir mean the leader. He is to lead the "Jehad". People all over world is supporting for the cause.

The caller explains him that the whole journey to various areas of Mumbai is to make aware how people of his religion are living in such sorrow state. Every one is against the Muslims and they have been subject to miserable life here. He is to take the lead and fight against the system.

Aamir argues with the caller that if he is able to become doctor and lead the comfortable life why not the other Muslims. There is equal opportunity to everyone and war / terrorism is not the solution. There is very good dialect in each piece regarding this issue.

The end of the story is terrific.

Must watch movies for all.
