Family: Ties of Blood (2006)

Excellent Movie!

[8/10 · 10 February 2007]

Not many reviews, hence thought i would add one.

DO NOT GO BY THE OTHER REVIEWS! This was a excellent movie.

RKS is one of the very few Indian directors that can actually put together a really good movie.

AB and Akshay given yet another example of great acting, as does bhoomika too, which was a little unexpected, but great to watch.

Am surprised there has not been much hype around release.

Or filmfare/other awards nominations, considering how good the movie was.

Better then Khakee i thought and i thought Khakkee too was good movie.

Is a fairly long movie, but definitely worth it and while watching it, definitely does seem long.

Cant wait for RKS next movie and the next AB, Akshay movie they always seem to do well together... e.g. waqt.

Bhoomika too has acted really well in the movie and should do really well if she continue in the same fashion in the future.

Not worth a watch!.... Definitely NOT worth a watch!!!

To watch or not to watch that is the eternal question.....

well i have the answer with this movie....

DEFINITELY not to watch!

Overall this is a below average movie with poor acting and shoddy script. Having seen the movie i definitely can not recommend the film.

I had considered a Manoj Bajpai to be a decent actor from the little bit i had seen of him(i.e i thought he was pretty in Road) and i thought he was a character actor. But i was proved other wises in this movie and hopefully he offers better performances in the future.

Summation:

Below average film with a average plot and below average cast & acting!

4/10

Vaastu Shastra (2004)

Not too bad.....Not too bad at all!

Overall this was a pretty good movie!(Definitely worth a watch)

Usually i never write comments for movies, but felt that the comments left by the others, were a bit to harsh on the movie.

Often before watching a movie i check out its rating on IMDb, to see whether its worth watching or not and i so with this movie too. After seeing the rating and reviews, i wasn't really looking forward to watching the movie but i had the movie on one of those 3 in 1 DVD's hence watched it anyway.

Well after watching it i was pretty surprised to find it was decent movie, hence this review and a recommendation to others to give the movie a chance. Don't get me wrong by any means, this is not a polished piece of cinema or even of the horror genre but its not as bad as others have made out either. Also i found that watching the movie on my PC alone in my room did the trick in terms of making the movie a little more scary (although that day i was jumping at shadows hence I'm not sure exactly how much credit to give to the movie for that:))

Summation:

Decent movie(with flaws as others have mentioned), but worth a watch and great acting from the child actor and Sushmita Sen always puts in a very solid performance. Also it nice to see Bollywood become more diverse, rather then sticking to a the love theme constantly, hence movie like this and directors such as RGV and Mani Ratnam are appreciated.

7/10
