Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – Ayan Mukerji’s movie after his critically acclaimed Wake up Sid is a feel good entertainer. In his previous movie he has used the plot and the story line to move things however in his new outing he has relied heavily upon  on the star value of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. The movie is a package of well blended commercial elements of love, friendship, father son relationship, sentiments. There is never a dull moment in the movie which makes it a pleasant watch… but there is something missing on the whole when compared to Wake Up Sid, probably as I had said too much reliance on the star value of the lead actors might be the one. In the end it turns out to be a typical movie from the K Jo’s banner which keeps you entertained throughout. If you are in mood for a feel good romantic movie you would enjoy this.

PS: I had read some reviews with comparison to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Dil Chahta Hai… I would strongly recommend you not to do that as that would set your expectations very high and might disappoint you… Just go an watch it with an open mind 🙂

Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga

Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga – A watchable comedy flick. Pandiraj has tried to convey a message for the newer generation combined with some above average humour. This has a flavor of middle class drama what you would have seen in erst while Visu movies and then later with V Sekar’s movies. Siva Karthikeyan has done his part very well. Vimal’s acting seems to be getting stereotyped with his previous movies. He should start trying to do something different. Overall it is a watchable flick that will make you laugh in parts.

Blades of Glory

Blades of Glory – American Comedy movie released in 2007. The plot is about two skillful ice skaters who get into tie for the gold in Winter Olympics. They end up fighting on the podium which results in them getting banned for life from taking part in the men’s single skating title. Their life turns into a mess. An old time coach uses the loopholes in the rules of the ban and tries to get them back into the game and the only chance they have to rebuild their career is by pairing with each other and becoming the world’s first ever same sex pair and compete for the pair skating. It makes an interesting watch due to its non-conventional plot and they have made a decent movie out of the simple plot. The scenes flow into each other well and builds up to the climax. The scenes in the skating rink has been shot very well. It has the typical drama elements of any average comedy movie. As I said it is watchable for the unique plot and good performances by Will Ferrell and John Hedder.

Sundarapandian

1 Comment

Sundarapandian – A run of the mill commercial entertainer. There is nothing special or unique about the movie. The narration style is very simple, funny in parts and stays  on track of the plot without wavering too much. Local bus travel is plays a prominent part in the movie. For those of you who had extensively traveled in public bus during your school and college days this might bring back some nostalgic memories. If you want to watch a movie without having to think too much then this one might keep you engaged.

Seven Psychopaths

2 Comments

Seven Psychopaths – A crime comedy which revolves around a struggling screenplay writer who is looking for inspirations to complete his screenplay. Very soon he is entangled into the crime world as he along with his friend decides to write on real experiences of Psychopaths. Their quest turns into an adventure which turns the life of everyone of them involved. Very interesting plot but it gets too complicated. It becomes very difficult to keep track of the story line after a while and you end up trying to attach things together constantly. The narration is stylish and if you love dark comedy movies then you might enjoy this. I am giving this a rating of Wait for DVD/TV as you would be able to enjoy the script better when you watch at home.

Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne (Bengali) – Satyajit Ray special… Its the Legend’s Birthday today!

Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola – Vishal Bharadwaj has been very successful in tickling the funny bones …. Unlike Kaminey the movie revolves around a social issue… It is a well made satire with talented ensemble casts, brilliant music and engaging screenplay. If you can understand the Haryanvi hindi you would enjoy it even better… I wished the movie had captions as it was difficult to follow the slang in multiple scenes… Despite that … it is a wholesome entertainer that leaves a strong social message with you… Go for it…

Dabangg 2

Dabangg 2 – A predictable sequel to Dabangg recreates magic in parts…. It’s very difficult to make sequel of a blockbuster as there is always a confusion on what to retain and what to leave from the previous version… What worked for Arbaaz is retaining the masala cop image of Robin Hood Pandey and his ways of fighting the baddies… But where he struggled is not able to leave back the characters of Pandeyji’s family… They seem to be an excess baggage for the movie… If you have liked Dabangg and are in for a masala movie where logic doesn’t apply… You won’t be disappointed….
