Zootopia (2016)
Disney has done it again !!!!!!!!!!!
A brand new Disney classic and what can I say in my review. Marvelous! Splendid! Or it's better to be remain Speechless! Disney's 55th animated film and honestly speaking they did it again. They again crossed my expectations. Have you ever tried Delicious dark chocolate? If not then watch Zootopia, it looks colorful, taste dark where wicked foxes and dumb bunnies came together and made the smartest animated film of the year. The movie tells the tale of a young rabbit named Judy Hopps (Ginnfer Goodwin) from rural Bunnyburrow who dreams of being a cop. But as a kid she got attack for saving a rabbit's life by a fox who told her she was never going to make it as a cop. Fast forward a few years later and Judy decides to leave her hometown and go to Zootropolis (hence the title of the film) to fulfill her dream and to make world a better place for living. From there she moves into an apartment and does some training at the police force and become the first rabbit officer in the police department. However, she has been assigned parking duty by Chief Bogo, an African buffalo, who doubts her potential due to her being a rabbit and thus smaller than most of the large animals on the force. During one of her shifts, she meets Nick Wilde(Jason Bateman) a wicked artist fox. Judy later teams up with him and of course she wants to track down a case as an Otter has gone missing and since he is a suspect (since he was the last one to see the otter). Its up to the two to track down the otter. But there is some strange behaviour going on with the animals? Things start revealing or the Mystery become more dangerous to solve? Could there be a culprit who is turning all the animals against each other? And now there are "Flash (Raymond S. Persi)"(sloths) and "Mr.Big (Maurice LaMarche)". They created many moments where I found myself and other children in the hall rolling on the floor with laughter. One of the first things I immediately notice about the film coming in is the humor and the subject which certainly filled with corny animal jokes, is fit for the characters and the situations. Really salute to Disney productions who managed to take a hugely complicate, controversial subject and show a way out. Even a young child will understand the message upon viewing. This movie was good from start to finish. Its not for only the children but for all ages.The writers of the film did a wonderful job. There was nothing boring about this movie. The voices that were cast for this film were just amazing. Goodwin(Judy Hopps) and Bateman(Nick Wilde) were excellent together among the other great voices that were used, which brought out each character very well. Shakira makes a cameo too as a famous pop star called Gazelle and she sings the main theme for the film "Try Everything"(which is literally stuck in my head since I seen this movie yesterday). I am sorry for this lengthy writing but still I can't stop saying or thinking about the film. So lets do a Summary : Without any doubt, Zootopia is one of the best animation of All-Time and certainly one of the greatest from The Walt Disney Company. The characters, especially Judy Hopps,are absolutely great! You can't help but love them, and viewers of all ages will certainly be able to relate. This is a movie which can be watched by any, and enjoy to the fullest by any. I am quite confident that there will be plenty more in this series. I will go as far as saying that Judy Hopps will become a great addition to Disney as a whole. Please give it a watch because you will love it. You will leave the hall with a smile ,Good feelings n Refreshment. Don't let your age stop you, this is a fantastic movie for anyone of all ages and proves yet again. Take home Message: Disney has done it again, and believe me, this is going to be a big one.
The Jungle Book (2016)
Watch it with everyone of your family for "Yourself" and for "your Family"
My Childhood returned for a while at #inox(southcity) Today and it made me Speechless Speechless Speechless. A Perfect journey to the Jungle where I found myself in the heart of the tale which is ageless, and the Extraordinary visual as well as vibrant music made my trip to childhood a completely dreamlike experience. What a superb stunning state of the art CGI!!!!!Believe me, It's beyond any rate or review.Hollywood does make the best special effects of all, but this is something else, even Avatar/Whatever running at your head in the present moment for CGI is left behind.It is so natural, so natural, so natural that words cant describe it. Simply put, it seems like all the animals were trained to talk!!!! A great Cinematography, sharp and crisp editing, excellent direction,and what a climax!!! It beautifully captures the values of love, faith, loyalty, pride, rules and respect. It did more than justice to Rudyard Kipling's timeless classic. Truly a Gem .. Thank you "Walt Disney".Thanks a lot to bring back "Mowgli" and my Childhood once again. Guys don't miss it.Watch it with everyone of your family for "Yourself" and for "your Family".

Jurassic World (2015)
Awesomeness Revisited
A fine addition to the Jurassic Park series
Childhood memories re-visited again today. The love, wait, passion which were stored increasingly year by year in my heart ruptured out just like hot lava from a magma chamber when the gate of the park opens and the next 2hours I completely Surrendered myself to Steven as I did previously 3times. Yes, it's very heavy on the nostalgia, and yes there are moments that will bring tears to your eyes if you are a die-hard fan, also it's full of Easter eggs.
Some of my friends may say that the movie is very much predictable as it goes on, I don't argue with them, Even they may say that the story line is weakest among the four, still I don't argue with them, but now if I tell about the cinematic experience (For which people go to movie hall again n again), if I tell about the Forever thrilling journey that will bound to stuck your head, if I tell the Dinosaur effects in this film are probably the best in the series so far, hope no one there in the world to oppose me.
So, friends please don't go with the critics for this movie, just go and grab your childhood surprises as soon as possible. I guarantee, that you will Re-visit Awesomeness.
NH10 (2015)
Speechless !!!!!!!
After watching #NH10 , Frankly Speaking I personally felt that it can give very tough competition to any Hollywood Flick n it's very "HARD" to handle by typical Indian Men. NH10 capture the Growing India ( Read :Barte Bachha) in a realistic way (Read : Nakedly ) and utter the Ugly Truth that after the last mall of The Town our so called Constitution n Democracy Of India also ends. Thanks to AnuragKashyap n AnushkaSharma to deliver this Gem (without any "Nacha" , "Gana" ) n to teach Future Indian Women how to Act or Fight back. Finally salute to the lady, who is really in "Form" wink emoticon and give her Best ever performance till now.Back to back "Double Ton" Anushka (Read : PK , NH10), now waiting to see a Tripple from your bat( Best Wishes )
Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015)
A beautiful n fresh Love story portrayed by heart.
Today Watched "Dum Laga Ke Haisha" Frankly speaking, at first I thought that I will intentionally miss this, may be because of I thought that it's a low budget average masala movie or there is Ayushman, who had back to back flops .But somehow I developed interest towards it, as I have faith on Director Sharat Katariya who is known for his path breaking low budget movie "Bheja Fry(2007)", also read some user reviews(Not Critics review!!!!, doesn't believe on them) and thought that lets give my money on it. Believe me or not I paid back Double in a "Full House" Navina (Remember it's the opening of 3rd week for this movie).
Story starts with the self-introduction of Prem (Ayushman Khurrana),(class X failure) who confesses that he has only three weaknesses in his life: exam's English question paper, his father's slippers and Kumar Sanu's melodious voice. Now for his marriage his parents meet the parents of the graduate but fat Sandhya (debutante Bhumi Pednekar), who wants to become a teacher though Prem is least interested in her because of her fat figure. Hilariously very much frustrated n disinterested Prem does 'Nothing' on their wedding night, this news reaches the ears of both the families, thus making them nervous and also scared about the couple's future relationship. Sandhya, on the other hand genuinely loves Prem. She on the advice of her mother even tries to seduce him with a 'foreign waali VCD'. Thus Sandhya is determined to make it work somehow In spite of being married to a man who is not even half as qualified as her and whose family still treats him as their kid, Sandhya is trying to overlook all the glitches and give this marriage a chance. But at one point when Sandhya finally learns that her husband's perception of her is nothing but a fat lady with whom he can't even sleep on the same bed, she decides to spare him of this forced marriage. This leads to her filing for a divorce with Prem. As a legal formality, the court decides a time of 6 months for the couple to spend with each other, in case they have a change of mind. In between all this chaos, their village announces annual competition named 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', in which the husbands have to carry their wives on their back and run till the finishing lines, despite all the manmade hurdles n Again, on his family's insistence, a very reluctant Prem agrees to carry the 'moti shaand' Sandhya on his back and take part in the competition.
The movie try to catch the 1990s, when the tape-cassette is dying, CDs will soon be the rage and a regular arranged marriage will turn out to be a perfect mismatch. The director Sharat Katariya knew that he had "The Content", "The Performers" (half the battle won) so he intentionally gave more pressure on "The Detailing" n he did it with star marks from first to last scene. The 90s,Beautifully captured Haridwar ,The Bajaj scooters, Back ground melody, the cassette tapes, the mix tape makers and the onslaught of the compact disc with special middle class touch all become as important as the main tale. The dialogues are quirky and it is enjoyable to have those small laughs. There was a serious need to show small towns in a new light and it is a delight that Sharat Katariya gave more importance to Sandhya's character who is not only well-educated but also an independent thinker. The story is well crafted and after really really long Yash Raj brings something very fresh (healthy as well). Certain scenes are unbelievably funny, for example when Sandhya goes for lingerie shopping and how secretive it had to be in the bygone era. Also the scene when Sandhya and Prem consummate for the first time is captured so beautifully that it seems too natural.
Regarding acting Ayushmann Khurrana(who is undoubtedly a talented actor) is successful in washing off his disastrous Hawaizaada memories from us with this film. Sanjay Mishra who plays the father of "Prem" is also an excellent actor and with his extremely genuine and commendable acting he will surely entertain you. Other performers also fit in their role did their job nicely.
And Now there is "Bhumi Pednekar", she is the debutant, she is obese, she is natural, she is soooo much Cute n lastly telling you she will make you flat with her flawless acting.
Regarding songs After sooo long days, heard this type of song.In this Era where Mikka Singh or yo yo honey singh doing play back and music industry went into gutter , thanks to #YRF that they bring back what is called true melody by KumarSanu & SadhanaSargam .1 minute into the song n i was transported 20years back with a belief that music is still alive.
On a whole a Sweet Fresh Love story which is portrayed by Heart. Don't miss it guys ,I remain as the guarantor that you will come out from the hall with a fresh mood and with a smile.
Take Home Message: Don't disappoint in your life for your partner n Nothing else, just the tag line "Love Comes in all size".
Badshahi Angti (2014)
Best Feluda Delivered by Sandip Ray
3 Great Movies in hand ("PK" , "Bomkeysh Fire Elo" n " Badsahi Angti") and I have to choose only one because lack of time to see all three. But it's not a big shot for me as my own Hero "Feluda" is there in the field and also my automatic choice. It's great to see a houseful hall (at 6pm show) even in ISL final evening where Atletico de Kolkata was there.
To write a review on Feluda Movie is very easy as there is no fear of delivering spoilers , even doesn't need to focus about any space regarding the story , as each n everyone was a masterpiece by the Magician, Particularly this one" Badsahi Angti" which is very close to our heart. This was one of the stories at the beginning of the series, at his (Feluda) young age, where he still didn't have a revolver but this was the story where he established the fact that he came to stay in our heart forever.
Once in an interview Sandip Ray told that his Father always believe in the fact that to make a thriller movie from a story which everyone knows, reveal the villain First (as he did in "Sonar Kella" n "JoyBaba Felunath") and then draw the 'Cat' n 'mouse' game correctly .It's the way to bring back the audience twice in the hall. But In "Badsahi Angti" it's not possible (it is one of the toughest Feluda story to draw on screen I think )and correctly here he doesn't follow his father's way , rather he stick to the story as it is in the book, line by line with every minute details (like throwing of cig. By Feluda In his own way).As a result the story came alive on the screen like a running commentary. Tight Script, No looseness, line by line dialogues, scenes, handy graphics, original n new background score (Particularly, of the animals were really great) make the presentation smarter. Sandip Ray also believes that every Feluda story is a journey and so also we. He tried hard To Establish this fact with various great locations of Lucknow, Haridwar in a very beautiful way. With his smart directions the Railway stations, Bare Imam Bara , Residency , roads n crowds of Lucknow , Har Ki Pauri Ghat , Ganges added the much needed tour effect.
Regarding acting we see a new Feluda here n Abir Chatterjee Justifies. With a younger look (needed according to the story) down to earth voice, less talkative nature, expressions, attitude He properly placed his foot in the shoe. Rather I don't like Sourav Das as Topse. He failed to produce the dilemma of innocence and intelligence in his character (though to produce this, is really tough indeed to a newcomer). Hope he will do better in next seasons. Other actors are also very good n properly fitted in their role. But frankly speaking Paran Bandopadhyay steals the show(YES and in a Feluda movie from Feluda !!!!) from first to last scene with his new look and awesome acting. Just Speechless. On a whole a Great Feluda Movie without destroying the Pages.
So Friends start your English Festive Season Surely with this FIRST n FAST.
Note: It will be far better if I saw my most wanted childhood horror "the Rattle snake" in real without graphics.
Take home message: Nothing. Just awesomeness
Feluda is Best, Feluda is Best.
Kill Dil (2014)
Please.....Pathetic One!!
Why Govinda? A Performer like you (even in this one also) choose this duffer script for your comeback or just you only see the Yash raj Banner?
Why Ranveer? An actor like you, for whom girls will die for, choose this script to show your power packed acting or just you only try to make Aditya Chopra happy?
N Parineeti if stereotyped smile n eye rotations are the criteria for your getting movies , please take rest for few days and learn acting first.
Old story, poor songs (not a single one you remember before the next one ), failed back ground score and not but least a PATHETIC SCRIPT .
"A COMPLETE DISASTER"
Shaad Ali you completely killed my Dill.
Rest in peace Kill/Dill
Note: (For which now I may be criticize) : Ali Zafar , your new style make you look like Indian Johnny Depp. Awesomeness Unlimited
Gunday (2014)
Total Masala Movie which you just Love to Watch
Watched "GUNDAY" –
I heard somewhere that this movie is a tribute to Legendary Friendship movies of Bollywood like "Sholay", "Kala pathhar". Along with Multistar cast, Yash raj Banner, Heavy Promotions and not but least the director Ali Abbas Zafar (Who previously directed MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN) make "Gunday" a sure watch movie to me.
The movie starts with a very promising note. It took you in the year 1971 when a new country was born named "Bangladesh" and also born a new group of people called "refugee". It also gave birth to two young orphans - Bikram (Ranveer Singh) and Bala (Arjun Kapoor).They faced war, struggled for food, saved themselves from a pedophile and ultimately managed to escape to Calcutta and here the story starts. During the struggle for their existence they understand that there is no straight path written for them and starting from stealing 20 kg of coal, the two friends grow up as the Biggest Mafia of Calcutta controlling the illegal trade of coal, timber and fish. This part of the movie is so high paced that it will automatically tighten your seat belt for the upcoming ones. As the movie goes on Nandita (Priyanka Chopra), the most beautiful mysterious (?)Cabaret dancer, walked into their lives. They both fell head over heels in love with her. Now Enters ACP Satyajeet Sarkar (Irrfan Khan), to counter force for Bikram and Bala. Besides, a hardcore and no-nonsense but still having a good sense of humor cop Satyajeet(Irrfan) is aware of the fact that 'United we stand, divided we fall' and is extremely happy to see that the Bikram and Bala have forgotten the ages-old maxim . But ACP doesn't know that they both are two bodies, one soul. After lots n lots of twists and revelations, the Gunday of this story, i.e., Bikram and Bala reach their inescapable destination.
"Gunday" is a tribute to the Amitabh Bachchan style cinema of the seventies when the movies contained a proper story, good songs, superbbb dialoguebaji, attitudes, when the movies were action-packed and anger-packed terming the system as the villain which directed the innocent individuals on the wrong path. This movie is old wine in new bottle but this old wine renders a highly enjoyable kick to the consumer, i.e., the viewer. Action along with the Dialogue of the two heroes(in childhood as well as in the adulthood) is the best part of this movie. The first half proves damn engaging for the spectator. The story dips somewhat to some extent in the post-interval session but, the script-writer and the director brought it back on track and ended it with a high-octane climax in a coal-mine at Dhanbaad and the movie does not leave any sense of dissatisfaction in the viewer when they came out from hall saying "pyaasa usul bhai" or "total masala yaar" or "superhit hai bhai".
Regarding acting it's a challenge to overcome each other in such a Multistar cast(Ranveer, Arjun, Priyanka and Irrfan) movie where every one is a very good actor .But without any doubt I want to say that Ranveer Singh steals the show completely from frame to frame. Priyanka Chopra is just like a sizzler in the menu card. If you are a boy (whether single or engaged or married or father of 2children),you cant close your eyes for a moment and cant time to look other co-actors in the song sequences where Priyanka is performing.
On a whole a complete action packed masala movie you just loved to watch. As Friendship , Love, Betrayals(!) are on the air now on this valentines week this movie would surely be in your wish list.

Chennai Express (2013)
A Complete Entertainment package in "Shetty" Style
Yesterday watched "CHENNAI EXPRESS" –
Now when we discuss about Brainless Movie Genre of Indian cinema, there are many big heroes but we have only and only two Superstars who can magnetizes people of all ages towards cinema hall. In Eid and Diwali they are Respectively Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan. They have their own Fan bases who always clashes among themselves for their own Superstar. Now in this year Eid the Scenario slightly changed. In spite of Salman's Movie, this year Eid "CHENNAI EXPRESS" released form Shahrukh's Own Red chilies banner and this time "KING KHAN" patched up with a deadly Combination with Rohit Shetty and Deepika Padukone n Rohit Shetty did his job as usual in "SHETTY STYLE".
The whole story can be told in one or two lines. Rahul (Shahrukh Khan) starts a journey to a town in Tamil Nadu to fulfill the last wish of his grandfather to have his ashes immersed in Rameshwaram. During his journey, he meets a South Indian girl, Meena (Deepika Padukone), who wants to flee from the prison of her father (Sathyaraj). Tangaballi (Nikitin Dheer) who is good friend of Durgeshwara (Sathyaraj) and wants to marry Meena puts forth every possible hurdle. And Lets the Journey Ohh sorry Fun Begins..!!
As Rahul, KING KHAN is in top form. He is brilliant in his comic timing as expected. But what is saluted to him that such a Big Superstar like him credited his name second (after Deepika Padukone) in the Title card and also made jokes on himself, on his age, on his movies throughout the movie. Deepika was a Surprise Package (Returned with Shahrukh after Om Shanti Om and with a full maturity). Her Beauty, her pronunciations will make you flat for sure. Sathyaraj is super as Deepika's father. The actor conveys everything through his eyes. Nikitin Dheer's TV tower like presence adds a lot of weight to his character.
Songs are Very good and well crafted. First one "1234" is a really foot tapping one and post interval through "TITLI" and "Kashmir to kanyakumari" Vishal-Shekhar's soundtrack make you feel young and gives a very soothing charm to your ears. But make the film little bit lengthy.
But the most important thing in this movie in my point of view is its awesome Cinematography. This captures the mood of the film as well as the stunning locales. The locations and cultures captured in South India Throughout the movie are so so and so beautiful that I AM SURE THAT AFTER LEAVING THE HALL YOU WILL AGAIN FALL IN LOVE FOR YOUR COUNTRY, FOR YOUR India.
On a whole Rohit Shetty made a movie with a stamp of his "ISHTYLE" in every part of it.Its a Complete Entertainer with fun, romance, jokes, songs, dances, stunning locations, actions. So if entertainment is in your mind, keep your brain in your house and board Chennai express for sure.
And don't don't don't forget to see the "Lungi Dance" at last.
Message for Salman's Fans: Please keep your ego n clashes outside for some days, Board CHENNAI EXPRESS with every one of your family and start a happy journey of this year festive season.
Take home message: Don't Underestimate the Power of a Common Man.
Ankur Arora Murder Case (2013)
Surely a must watch for urban society....
Today Watched "Ankur arora Murder Case" –
In world Movies are of various Genre like romantic, drama, horror, thriller, action, comedy, animation etc. etc. Now when we discuss the type of the movie I think it should always be in 4 categories. First-Brainless Entertainer or Commercial Movie, Second- Intelligent, Third-Intellectual n Fourth – Important Movies. Now which movies are" Important" one. Important movies are neither" intellectual "nor" Intelligent" but they throw you lots n lots of questions during and after the movie, for example "Tare jameen par ".They Compel People to think. They sometimes try to change the Thinking of the society. All movies in World cinema whatever genre it should be, categorized among the above classification.
Being in Medical Profession I had grown up interest towards this movie after viewing the trailers n after watch it today, I surely categorize this movie in the 4th category i.e. the Important one. Yes, I am placing "Ankur arora Murder Case" on the same sit with movie like "Tare jameen par", because it throws lots of questions to all sections of the society for think –
1. (For Doctors) What is better – Being a very Good Doctor or a Good human being?
2. (For Doctors) Are you the people who are really "de-sensitize" with death?
3. (For Students)What is your Choice-To create a brilliant career on the pillars of LIE or to destroy it by sticking with the TRUTH?
4. (For Youngsters)What is your Choice-Brilliant Superb career without Love or a simple career with True Love?
5. (For Lawyers)What do you want - Giving True Justice or Only MONEY?
6. (For Everyone)You all try to BLAME n PUNISH a GOOD (Inhuman, De-sensitize)Doctor for his one and only one Negligence but will you ever remember how many life he SAVED every day which God tries to carry away ? Will you ever BLAME n PUNISH God when HE everyday create lots n lots of child with Congenital Abnormalities?
After doing several erotic Thriller n Murder Mysteries Vikram Bhatt's Team now jump into the realistic zone with ANKUR ARORA MURDER CASE, which tackles the issue of medical negligence. The team really done an impressive research before the film that in First half of the movie being a medical professional I just can't rule out where I actually am- In cinema hall or in I.C.U or O.T seeing my Colleagues doing their routine difficult jobs. Based on a true incident, ANKUR ARORA MURDER CASE focuses not just on the negligence in the operation theatre, but also throws light on the justice mechanism in our country.
In a short Dr. Ramesh (Arjun Mathur) was a junior under Dr. Asthana (Kay Kay Menon) of Shekhawat General Hospital. He loves n had a live-in relationship with Dr. Riya (Vishakha Singh), his co-intern. An 8-year-old boy Ankur (Vishesh Tiwari) dies due to Dr. Asthana's medical negligence n at a point of time Ramesh realizes that a good surgeon is not necessarily a good human being as well. Together with Ankur's mother Nandini (Tisca Chopra], Ramesh declared an uneven Battle for what is right. A battle for justice against his mentor, the hospital and the love of his life.
Regarding performances everyone was Up to the mark. Kay Kay Menon is one of my all-time favorite n once again he gave an International level performance. But the surprise package in second half was Paoli Dam. She is Sharpen in every movie. Hats off to the power pack acting of her in the court. The Dialogues are extremely good n sometimes make you to give claps unintentionally in the hall. Scriptwriting also tightens your sit belt as the movie progress. But one point I must say that it good to see this type of movie in future song less.
On a whole A BRILLIANT Movie and it deserves a watch by every person of the Urban Society.
NOTE: - Being in Medical field I know good surgeon is not necessarily a good human. During my work I also had come in contact with such persons n gained lots of experience. But please don't ask for examples
Los ojos de Julia (2010)
Mindblowing Thriller
Watched "Julia's Eyes" Original Title-(Los Ojos de Julia)-
I got this movie in my collection from one of my Friend's collection. It's a ? Spanish Movie which I got with English subtitles. When yesterday I selected this movie to watch I had no idea what kind of movie it was and so I also had no expectations from it. Just knew that it's a movie of different language, different genre so may be there would be something new but when the Movie started I just jumped out from my chair. It was really a spine chilling moment which grabbed my whole attention towards the movie and this attention remained as such throughout the movie. Every Scene, short dialogues, murder clues, every drama I was just enjoying by watching repeatedly with the help of the rewind button of my laptop.
The movie started with the mysterious death of Sara. She was found hanging in the basement of her own house where she lived alone. She was blind due to a degenerative disease of her eyes. Police tried to loosening the case thinking that she was committed suicide because of loneliness and depression but her twin sister Julia, who was also suffering from the same degenerative disease in her eyes and rapidly deteriorating her sights didn't believe that it was a suicide. While doing her own way of searching the mystery of her sister's death Julia came to know that Sara was undergone a surgery on her eyes with the hope of regaining her sight. Also she found some clues of a mysterious boyfriend of Sara. Simultaneously with the run someone always tried to swipe away all the data, clues and even murdered the persons who knew anything about the case.
The first one hour was so intense, so twists n turns that one could not made an idea in which way the movie was going. Last 30 mins there was also a brilliant Cat- Mouse duel between Julia and the murderer.
After watching the movie I read from the internet that it was the same team- actress (Belen Rueda), producer (Guillermo Del Toro), musician (Fernando Velazquez), cameraman (Oscar Faura) - who made "Orphanage" previously. The same team again delivered an Intelligent, Tight gripped, spine chilling thriller which is original in its nature. Regarding acting everyone was brilliant. Belen Rueda was in a dual role in this movie (Sara n Julia). She was just terrifying throughout the movie. You can just watch this movie only for her acting if you keep every other things apart. Cinematography was brilliant in every part. Script writing, direction, technique with playing light n shadow just compel you to tighten your sit belt throughout the movie.
On a whole Guillermo Del Toro was again delivered a movie which was surprisingly good and taught everyone what the definition of a thriller is.
A MUST SEE for every thriller movie lovers.
3G: A Killer Connection (2013)
A New generation Thriller with a message.
Watched "3G-A Killer Connection" yesterday –
Now why I am writing this review as because I am in a dilemma since I watched this movie. The Question is What is better –Is it to waste time for a mindless, spineless Blockbuster or its better to go for an average or rather a bad film which has clear cut message to the society, to the audience. I don't know which is better. Surely 3G is a bad movie but I had a mixed experience which I want to share here.
I don't go for the entire story because it will not do justice for a thriller/horror movie whether it is a bad or good one if I tell the story of it.In a nutshell Neil and his girlfriend was on a vacation in beautiful Fiji ,where they buy a mobile. After then mysterious calls from unknown number comes on it and also mysterious thing happened one after another. Subsequently also there was change in Neil's behavior towards his girlfriend and surroundings. Murder also occurred one after another, which ultimately revealed at the end.
Technically the movie is very bad in one word. There was a new Concept, Beautiful locations; wonderful cinematography, Neil's superb acting but none of them can saved this new generation movie. The Title card starts with a unique note but this newly concept movie failed because of horrible acting of Neil's co-starrers (including the heroine), poor script writing, lack of techniques and worst direction. Also the soundtrack n background score failed which particularly the second one I think is a very very important ingredient in a horror /thriller film. Also it lacks twists n turns in the middle of the film which made this movie slow in pace in its every part n boring sometimes.
Regarding acting Neil Nitin Mukesh is always one of my favorite and once again he delivered a wonderful performance after "DAVID". But after watching this I personally think Neil now have to be very choosy about his Films n should not do films like this in future. No words for other actor or actresses. So pathetic. Sonal Chauhan here present only to show her sexy body n cleavage.
So after reading the above paragraphs why you will watch this movie? I think, it will be for these following 5 points:- 1. A Totally New concept, New Generation Thriller. 2. Neil's one man show Performance. 3. Last 20 minutes of the movie where the thriller unfolded in a unique way. 4. Beautiful Fiji. 5. The message that delivered at the end of the movie.
So my friends who are Thriller/horror movie lovers can go for this once, but please don't see with your family ;-)
Friday the 13th (2009)
Pathetic .....
Today just ended up watching "Friday The 13th"(2009) _ So terrible,so pathetic,I just cant imagine,I just cant anything to write.A Horrible remake of its original.Even Ram gopal verma can do better than this.Having Tremendous headache.Just need a alprazolam for sleep.Guys never watch this movie if anytime it comes on English Movie channels. (But can go for the uncut version LOL )
The story starts with a proper bang,proper note,but doesn't know how n when it ended up in a massacre like this.So boring after first 15 minutes and there is no thriller at all,even a child can predict the scenes.
Even at the end cant understand why "jason" comes up from the lake and for what purpose..If is it for a sequel..Then the only advice from a novice review maker please don't ..
Aurangzeb (2013)
A modern age action Thriller with a big Heart ..
When I entered the hall I think that the cinema should be a re re re modification of some old Classic film(Read-Don/Trishul) and after seeing the 1st 20mins, my idea got established in my mind and it continues still the 2nd half started. But I have no regret to say that I was wrong at that point of time. After 1st half when the plot thickens, Love Emotions n Heavy Betrayals play their own own roles the movie tightens me with sit progressively very deep. The delicious twists makes the film more appealing to me n that continues with a fine dramatic, emotionally touched, big hearted end of the movie. After this I surely agree of my fault to watch a movie like this with pre-occupied mind.
I don't go for the story line. In a single sentence the movie is all about a Gang-war in "Modern Shining" Gurgaon. It is not a Pop-corn movie, rather it is a very Complex, realistic, upfront stylish n emotionally rich action thriller for which Bollywood n we can proud.
Regarding Performances all actors in one word are "top-notch". Everyone deserves Respect n salute for their wonderful work but I specially mentioned some actors.Arjun Kapur have a great performance in his dual role but sometimes he have monotonous in his expressions. Rishi Kapur was superb in his character which had lots n lots of shades. But the one who make me flat with his suppressed acting, expressions, attitude n dialogue throwing is Prithviraj Sukumaran.Just stunning man! Also its very good to see beauty like Amrita Singh after many years with a great performance. But I don't understand why director Atul Sabharwal selected Actor like Anupam Kher for such a small role!
On a whole if you are a serious movie goer and likes top notch intelligent action thriller, surely watch it for once!

Mama (2013)
A Horror Flick which you should never miss....
Yesterday I watched an English Horror flick "MAMA". My brother recommended it to me and as he told me,the movie is not so scary but really a creepy one.The story was also slight different.Although the movie was slow in pace at some different points of time and again the end was slightly dramatic as compared to other popular English horror flicks but overall watching this movie alone in a dark room was a great experience.Two most important things i like most in this movie is first its story telling which will make you sit through out even at some-point as i said previously the pace was slow and second most important thing was the brilliant acting of two child artist Megan Carpenter(Named Victoria in this movie) and Isabella Nillesse(Named Lilly in this movie). you can watch the movie for these child artists only,keeping every things apart.I enjoyed the movie very much.Watch it .Hope you guys will enjoy it too.....
Ek Thi Daayan (2013)
A Fine Directorial debut...
First of all i say that Ek Thi Daayan isn't a truly scary film -- though it will provoke real nightmares in the young, and I strongly recommend all parents keep their children away from this one. The film makes us take a walk in the world of Black Magic, Myths, Witches and of course the stories which were told to us by our parents or grand parents during our childhood. It is smartly crafted, "highly original" in its approach and a strikingly ambitious effort for the genre. The screen holds your attention. You do feel hungry for more chilling moments and effects that stun you into holding your breath.According to performances You will never forget Konkona Senshorma but i particularly stunned by the performance of the child artist, Vishesh Tiwari (the young Emraan in the film), who delivers a super performance.Emraan himself also superb. The end is a let-down, but the film remains a fine directorial debut for Kannan Iyer. ........."Watch it SURE"..................
