Ishquiya

Well well i was so keen to watch Ishquiya that inspite of my daughter nt being too well i took a chance and went to see it on friday night 11pm show:) I must say i wasn't disappointed as its a delightful movie in terms of perforamnce, characterisation, setting and dialogues....the director, art director has done a marvellous job of bringing alive the real small town MP/UP and the script writer/dialogues writer in adding more reality by punching in some very interesting dialogues in colloqual langauge...on top of all these three main characters nasiruddin shah (the real badshah of acting in bollywood), arshad warsi and vidya balan have given some power packed performance...i am sure arshad & vidya will always be proud of this piece of work from them...however i feel where the movie disappointed me was its poor and ordinarily written script which could not compliment every thing else going right for the movie...so overall as u reach the climax u r left with a feeling..i wish the story was as powerful as everything else...but having said that its still a class act...worth a watch definitely....kudos to vishal bhardwaj for his consistency of quality and great work by abhisekh chaubey as a first time director...

    Raja,

    There was toss up between watching Ishquiya and Raan; and finally decide to watch Raan.

    It's worth the watch and especially AB, Ritesh Deshmukh along with Rakeysh Deshmukh (AB's son in the movie) delivered some action packed performances. Over here you cannot forget mentioning another mind blowing performance by Paresh Rawal.

    In my opinion it's pretty gripping well crafted dialogs and Mr. Bachchan's expressions were outstanding.

    Another observation about AB, as he get's older his acting is maturing like Scotch.. Sarkar, Paa, and now Raan.. an another stellar performance

Review of 'Icche' (bengali movie)

Image
Icche is possibly one of the most wonderful movies i have ever seen till date...More so for the wonderful wonderful performance by 'Sohini Sengupta'... The whole story revolves around the mother 'Mamta' and son 'Soumik' played by 'Sohini Sengputa' & 'Samadarshi Dutta'. The mother is a typical bengali mother who is over possessive and protectionist about her son and wants to fullfill all her dreams thru her son....She wants to fullfill all her dreams thru her son and in the process forgets that her son has a life and identity of his own...'Soumik' starts realising this uncomfortable reality when he falls in love witha Girl in Class XIIth and her mother comes to know of it.... The story on hand is simple but on the other hand it deals with various shades of character of 'Mamta' who loves her son like anything, sometimes she is her best buddy, sometimes she is biggest opponent and sometimes she is manipulating... The story ...

Some serious questions on the movie business???

Given the fact that all movies are now on TV within few weeks of release gives us a sense that producers are looking for multiple revenue streams big time...(in fact i have heard some of them plays a role in releasing the pirated CD's as well..when they know it will not do well....)....Looking at the quality of movies being made now a days , big time fall in footfalls in Multiplexes due to much faster spread of 'Word of mouth'unlike a couple of years back (thanks to social networking)...it gives me an indication that somewhere the business model of 'Movies' are not working smoothly, which is forcing producers to release it on TV much sooner than required so that they can at least cash in on the idiot box which at least gives them greater assurance of 'Eyeballs' (as typically people do give all those movie a watch which they haven't seen in theatre's...bcoz for them its free of cost..)...While its good for the producers that they have TV to save them ...

Sardar Udham - Amazon Prime

Image
 I was awaiting Sardar Udham with a lot of eagerness because of two reasons. # 1 - It was Shoojit's latest creation and we all know how good a film maker he is. # 2 - It had Vicky Kaushal who is one of the best actors in Bollywood today. The 2hr 42 min film was made with great intent to dive deep into the mind and motives of Sardar Udham Singh that led to the killing of Michael O' Dwyer 20 years after he had given the orders for Jaliwalan Bagh Executions. The highest point of the film was the last 40 minutes which showcases the Jaliwalan Bagh killings and the diplomatic defense of the incident by the army and bureaucrats of the British. It does shake you, emotionally stirs you and does make you feel angry that till date there is no official apology of the same by the United Kingdom. The film depicts some interesting characterization of Bhagat Singh and his philosophy. The role well depicted by Amol Parashar.  What I found very interesting is the way the narrative handled the d...
