Inkaar from Sudhir Mishra is yet another 'multiplex' movie which at least 'Sudhir Mishra' fans were awaiting as he is one of those few directors who loves exploring human relationships very deeply in his movies and that makes his movies an interesting watch though it appeals to a niche not the mass....

With INKAAR he tries to explore the divide between 'Harrasment' & 'Flirt' and also in the backdrop how love and hatred could change the behavior of people to each other....

INKAAR idea may have been little bit inspired from 'Hollywood' movie 'Disclosure' but the execution and story is very original....With INKAAR Arjun Rampal finally seemed to have understood how to act and have been good in his role for a change.....Chirtragandha Singh has been good as usual but still she looks a little restraint in her dialogue delivery....

The movie revolves around these two people and the whole movies keeps going into flashback though the main backdrop remains the 'conference room' where women commission headed by 'Deepti Naval' are investigating the case....Sudhir Mishra has brilliantly kept the interest in the story by constantly making us think who is right and who is wrong till the end....The backdrop of an Ad Agency and the environment in an AD Agency has been superbly captured by the filmmaker and brilliantly executed by the actors...

While the movie should appeal to a niche , its urban storytelling and ad agency backdrop may not appeal to the masses and therefore may not be highly successful commercially....But for people who love to see a good art of filmmaking INKAAR is a definite watch this weekend....

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...
