Life of Pi

Life of Pi – its difficult to convert a literature with a philosophical theme into a successful screenplay… Ang Lee and team has done the best in bringing Pi ‘s magical journey to life… From the French influenced Pondicherry, the perilous storm in the ocean, the serene ocean life all captured and represented very beautifully… Not sure if the deep philosophical reflection would please the movie audience looking for commercial entertainment… It’s definitely worth a watch and you will enjoy it more when you entrench yourself in Pi’s quest for the Supreme…

Thuppaki

Thuppakki – overloaded with entertainment… Murugadoss doesn’t fail to entertain the audience with a different plot and storyline… He could have avoided the unnecessary scenes added to please vijay fans… The bold move he had done with Vijayakanth in Ramana worked wonders… He should believe in this more… Having said that… but for the dragging songs and few scenes the movie is worth a watch…!

Maatraan

Maattraan – If you go with a checklist that you would want to see in a KV Anand flick, stunning visuals, different plot, pacy script, bar song, twist in the plot… you would come with everything checked… a decent entertainer… but still stereotypical for KV Anand and Surya..  If you compare it with Ko you might be disappointed… the difference between the two has been that the Twist in the tale was broken in the first half unlike Ko where he was able to save it till the end… Not a bad movie…

Wait for DVD/TV

English Vinglish

English Vinglish – a breezy feel good entertainer… Goes through the identity crisis of a home maker… Sridevi has acted very well … She portrays the middle class home maker who has to establish her identity in the family by learning to speak in English… The movie has its moments of laughter, moments of emotion, moments of pride… A good family entertainer…!

Must Watch

The Amazing Spiderman

The Amazing Spiderman – Spiderman story retold… This time they have tried to stay more closer to the comic… If you are expecting something amazing then you would be disappointed… Otherwise it’s a nice watch… The movie is bit dark throughout and slow as well… They could have increased the pace bit which might have kept the interest levels on…

Ferrari Ki Sawaari

Ferrari Ki Sawaari – A breezy entertainer, has the stamp of a movie from Vidhu Vinod chopra’s production… All positive innocent characters… Faced with a situation that could be life changing and they give their heart and soul to it… I felt for the concept the movie could have been a bit short… But still a thorough entertainer…
