Queen Review

Queen is a refreshing take on a girls journey from innocence to confidence, from dependence to self discovery......From the word go Vikas Behl has managed not only a refreshing mood in the film but also managed to strike a good balalnce between commercial and offbeat treatment....

In Queen not just protagonist self discovers herself but the actress playing the protagonist 'Kangana Ranawat' has discovered that she has enormous talent which can carry a movie on her own....

Though she has demonstrated that in glimpses in the past be it her first movie gangster or her movie with 'Madhavan', but in queen she breaks the stereotype of 'mentally confused girl' (she was being typecasted in too many movies in such characters) into a mainstream actress who can carry any role with ease and effortlessness...

In Queen Kanagana leaves a lasting impact on our minds as she gets into the skin of the role and you cannot differentiate between the character and the heroine....thats makes the protagonists so real and relatable....

The story is simple but emotions at every stage of the characters journey has been aptly played, unlike english winglish there is no overboard of emotions its played exactly the way you would do it in real life....specially the scene where 'Kangana hugs her japanese friend with whom she was sharing the room in Amsterdam is so real that before she hugs you actually feel yourself in your heart that this guy needs a hug.....there are many such moments in the movie......some of the moments are seriosly hilarious and brings out genuine laughter from the heart which is so difficult to find in todays bollywood movies......specially the moments when she goes to sex shop and doesn't realise that its a sex shop or the moment when kangana's brother and father find more interest in communicating with her hot friend 'Vijayalakshmi' played by Lisa Hayden than Kangana was hilarious.....

All the sarrounding characters around 'Queen' have also played their roled very well and thats what lifts the films overall performance as each of the supporting roles strengthens each scene....

If you have neglected 'Queen' in favour of stereotype films like 'Gulaab Gang' then dnt miss it this weekend.....Go watch a refreshingly new Kangana in Queen and come out thinking about the character....:)

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...
