So, Oh my God!! After such a long time I watched such a beautiful Punjabi movie. Let me say this if you have high expectations from the movie you will not be disappointed. The characters are lovable from the beginning. The songs are mesmerizing and soothing at the same time. One instantly feels a connection with the characters and that feeling lasts the total of 2hrs 15mins.
In Punjabi community/culture most marriages as a rule are set off through the fixed process or some traditional ceremonies like "Rok", "Shagan" and "Mangani" and finally the Marriage. This movie describes the story of 2 young people, Jimmy Shergill & Neeru Bajwa, whose marriage has been fixed by their parents. There is Drama, there is comedy, there are lots of one liners and there are lots of Romantic moments. Director has a done a wonderful job depicting the Punjabi culture and different places of Punjab. I had only one problem with the movie that the end was a bit too Dramatic. Other than that it was a time well spent watching the movie.
I should say if you are a fan of romantic movies then this one should not be missed!!!

Now, here's a film that catches you off-guard and leaves you awestruck with its sheer intensity. Aamir is a commendable movie coming from a first-timer.
Marking the graduation of television star Rajeev Khandelwal to the big screen, 'Aamir' tells the story of a Muslim doctor who arrives in Mumbai from the UK. But the minute he steps out of the airport lounge, he begins getting threat calls on a mobile given to him by a stranger. On stake is the life of Aamir's family. The only way Aamir can save them is to do what he is told to.
Following the instructions of the fanatic on the other end of the line, the suited booted Aamir goes through the filth and squalor of Mumbai's impoverished by-lanes, the red-light areas, the dilapidated buildings and the bustling markets until he finds himself in a dead-end situation where he has to either carry out a deadly act or risk losing his family forever.
'Aamir' is a slice-of-life cinema that mirrors the possibility, if not reality, how a harmless individual can be held to ransom and blackmailed into doing something seemingly beyond his morals and capacity.
The movie works primarily because its lead player Rajeev Khandelwal lends credence to the character with his finely nuanced performance deftly punctuated with restraint and outbursts.
Secondly, the film's director Rajkumar Gupta does a heck of a job behind the camera. The movie, shot like a docu-drama, seethes with tension and restlessness in almost every frame. The camera jerks or lingering close-ups, or the haunting leitmotif tune on the violin, or the crisp editing all blend in harmony to create a powerful, gripping audio-visual experience on the screen.
Definitely worth a watch.
