Ils (2006)
err..no "them" are not aliens...umm...hell yea this movie is atrocious
A french masterpiece if u love thriller movies.. "Them" is one of the best examples of Short suspense and horror film-making I have seen after a very long time. Gore movie lovers and already depressed people: not your cup of tea. Hats off to the makers as well. Sometimes you just need an idea and bizzzzz classic can be made in a day as well saving cost and huge, H.U.G.E bucks! Rightly said by someone you can price anything but not an idea. This movie can be a great example supporting the phrase! P.S: Trust me on this.. "u cant keep both halves of your butt on the sofa while watching this film in a dark room from its very beginning".. and yeah, its based on true events! Lights off please!
Agneepath (2012)
3( out of 5) for a 3 long hour ride by 3 legendary actors
Rishi Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Hrithik Roshan have done full justice to their roles but it was Rishi Kapoor this time who took everyone's heart away with his powerful and realistic acting. Apart from that background scores are amazing. It has been a totally engaging watch despite of a running duration of approx 3 hrs and 5 minutes! You can see the shady effects of Dharma Productions all over the movie.. ( 4 useless songs and instead the worthy one was deleted to make it a "family" movie, and more than 2 hrs of melodrama.. seriously..do we need this much now in Bollywood? It cud have been an easy 4... Things like these acted like a splash of wet mud on the performance part of the legendary trio... ! Am i in 2012 or still 2001 with k3g? Bollywood and Dharma productions( specially ) needs a serious reality check now after movies like Ready, Bodyguard, Ra 1 in 2011 and this one.. 3 stars are justified ...if u are planning to make an action movie...give one or stick to your old genre of family drama ( duhh! ) :O Say shaava shaava! :p
Overall- good watch! But i wish i would have gone out for a walk or something in between the over-sweet and melodramatic scenes! It would have given me a less headache and more of good stuff!
Don 2 (2011)
All hail the king!! He is back with much more to give this time
One question to Farhan Akhtar: If u thought that you can take me with some sling action, fast chase scenes, incredibly stylish and in his best form yet Shah Rukh Khan (as an action hero), decent twists and some good dialogues weaponed with split second jokes.I was within your target audience. ;) Unlike other people( who, i think, are too up seeing holly action) , i can appreciate the effort put in Don 2...Far above the standards as compared to 1st one. Great acting by all especially Shah Rukh Khan and a small presence by Hritik Roshan was excellent. Though I missed Arjun Rampal a lot in the movie. He should have been right there instead of Kunal Kapoor. He was perfect for that role as he delivered the same thing in the 1st part as well. On the whole it was entertaining, fast (despite of its long time duration) and trendy. I am so happy despite of a dull year for Bollywood industry, this will give a kick start for the next year films. I am so glad it is all because of SRK the king.
Shaitan (2011)
The movie do has some 'Shaitan' moments
The glamorous trailers, young and fresh star cast, music but the biggest of all Rajeev Khandelwal impressed me a lot in the trailers and movie too. But if we see the movie keeping in mind that it is Anurag Kashyap's flick i think the movie was disappointing. The first half of the movie is quite good and lifts up really well but too fast. The shaitan moments were there but they were way too less. The moment you will realize that you are having fun watching this one, it will take a serious turn which i think could have been delayed because the second half goes too slow showing some unimportant and regular flashbacks of Amy played by Kalki. But still movie will keep you tight because it has something very unique to offer. I mean who have ever remixed and played an old song during a shooting sequence scene in a busy market. The presence and great acting by Rajeev Khandelwal will take many girl's heart.In his few scenes,he steals the movie quietly with his funny yet serious sense of humor.Movie also have some big gaps in 2nd half which if told here will destroy your viewing experience. Although its a very normal kidnapping movie with weak script told in a stylish way. 2 out of 5 for this attempt by the makers but 1 extra for Rajeev Khandelwal and the music which will stay for a long time in your play-list.
Stanley Ka Dabba (2011)
Dabba- full of mirch and masala!!
I can clap for the whole day for those school children who did a remarkable job and hard work, not even missing the Saturday-Sundays and other holidays of school and instead participating in this theatrical drama. Hats off children. Secondly, great acting by Stanley Amole Gupte and Divya Dutta and other staff too. The best part of the movie is that there is no flaw in it except the duration of the movie. I think they could have added much more to it. But i suppose the director wanted to keep it short and simple.Movies like these makes me proud that yes we( Bollywood) also have something to present, something original.I wont be surprised if it will be given the National Award for best film. The TZP team have did it again. Great work. We need more of such kinds.This movie will fetch your heart in the beginning only and you will crave for more. Don't miss it
Luv Ka the End (2011)
waiting for "THE END" ugh
i was so exited about this movie when I saw the casting song in trailers. But i dint know that my happiness will last just for 5 minutes. Such movies should be banned in between its making only. Firstly they copy the foreign stuff, then they add the Indian spices into it (which i am dead sure of that Indians are also are fed up of), then they add some disastrous and not at all required songs to add fuel to the fire. This movie was completely avoidable. its just because of summers that i needed an ac room to hang out with my friends so influenced by the casting song we went but that wish also left incomplete because the movie was too noisy and bubbly to digest. AVOID it completely. watching this movie is like your ex girlfriend sitting beside your ears for more than 2 hours,chewing strawberry bubble gums and shouting about the mistakes you did. Sadly you will conclude, none of them was bigger than WATCHING THIS CRAP.
Hotaru no haka (1988)
how can the makers do it?
When i was 14 to 15 years old.I used to watch HEIDI on cartoon network but they stopped repeating it after sometime.It is and will remain the best cartoon serial i have seen in my life.Hence the reason why I loved this movie so much and would watch it again and again.It totally gave me the feel of my childhood.It was like seeing a new Heidi put in a different situation.After seeing this movie, their was just one question in my mind " why we people get entertained by these depressing movies?" i have seen a lot of sadistic movies showing much bigger stuff than this movie have and enjoyed them but this movie made me think that how depressing a movie can be without any cult action.blood e.t.c .The makers effortlessly made an environment of commiseration that till the end u will think that what wrong the child and her brother did? i hardly see animated movies but this one surely generated my interest and I m looking forward to see more of such kind. It will remain my best movie in animation category because of its honesty,maturity and the story line and I will never forget the last 5 minutes of the movie when i was not able to stop my tears popping out of my eyes..2 big thumbs up..
