Ye Saali Zindagi......Seriosly

What a movie is the spontaneous thought that comes to my mind....Its like 2.5 hrs of captivating journey where the action in front of you does not let you think about anything else.....That's the pace with which the movie moves on....Although based on a simple plot of two guys in love with women in their lives and subplots around it....But its not the quality of script which stands out in the movie....what captivates you is the screenplay, narration, dialogues, absolute spot on casting, great background score, excellent use of lighting and above all the editing that is just spot on....All these elements put together takes the movie to another level that probably only people like Sudhir Mishra and Vishal Bhardwaj kinda guys can do in India.....It felt like as if its a montage of photographs which has been built into a story on the editing table and i would say also in the voice over studio.....The casting was so good that acting looked just effortless....The whole execution was very stylish yet very raw and desi.....Its in the league of 'Kaminey' i would say where no character was actually positive yet not completely negative....
Most importantly the writer director did complete justice to the name as someone said 'Zindagi naa jaane kitne chote bado lamho se banti hai....kabhi mudkar dekho to ek kahani si lagti hai'.....the movie exactly stuck to that task......Would guess thats its Sudhir Mishra's best work which should do well in both Metro's and Non Metro's.....A Movie worth keeping in your collection.....It just grows on u...definitely a mutiple time watchable one...

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...
