Review Lootera

The trailors of lootera seemed like a really intense love story which would touch your heart. With this expectations i went to see lootera. Must say the sets, music, lyrics, costume, camera work were just awesome. Both Sonakshi, Ranveer have definitely put in their heart to bring this intense love story come alive. Bikramditya Motwane used the background score and music to bring further intensity in the storytelling but inspite of all these the film failed to make an impact on my emotions which is what this film set out to do.

It doesn't mean its not a film worth watching, its still a above average movie but what you expect from a director of the capability of motwane was missing. The music is just awesome that takes your heart away, photography is out of the world, in terms of costumes and sets the team has brought alive the 1950's i just wish the movie had greater soul.

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 ...

'Shob Choritro Kalponik' and 'Good Fellas'

Sometimes flights are great specially Jet Airways...I think they have a great collection of movies...Yesterday managed to see two movies in the flight and got inspired by both, very different styles but extremely powerful pieces of creativity. 'Shob Choritro Kalponik' is directed by Rituporno...The movie deals with the relationship of a poet husband and his wife and how she explores their relationship post the sudden death of her husband...The story is taken forward beautfully through poems recited in the background....What i loved is the fact that how the director brings out the fact that how in daily lives we evaluate our relationships functionally based on rational aspects of life but its only after a person is gone we explore the emotional bond we had with them....Its very simple and may be said many times before but the way rituporno makes you experience this is brilliant...I don't know how the movie has fared commercially but i think as a piece of 'creative work...
