Class Apart!! Wisely said "Its not a movie, its an expereience" :) Changed the face of a lot of things in cinema. Where human are aliens and the aliens are NA-VI's (thats their race). The movie is a visual treat, you gotto watch it 3D. James Cameroon did it again :)


Plot:


In AD 2154, some Americans discover a potential mine which contains hard core minerals which are very expensive and useful material on earth. They take a mission to visit the planet Pandora to mine in the minerals. To make their task easier, they send a human to their planet who is being genetically engineered to become a Navi Avatar.Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is the replacement of his dead brother who goes to Pandora in his Navi avatar. Human scientists on the other hand could control him when the Navi in Pandora sleeps. The sole purpose of sending him to Pandora was so that Jake could learn the ways of Pandora and the Navi's there and become a part of them. So that when the human invades their planet to mine and in turn destroy their home, he could persuade the Navi's out of the place peacefully and secured.

The first half of the movie is a treat to your eyes. The jungles of Pandora, the floatin mountains, the glowing flora and fauna in the night. And if thats not enough, u have the amazin creatures, the Navi's!! Amazing creation, must say. This time the aliens have so much of emotions to offer you and drastically opposite the human are harsh, self centered and cruel, in short HUMAN are IN-HUMAN :D . The larger than life size sets and animation, with 3D effect pulls you out of your world to a whole new world of Navi's and their Planet. So much so, that the aura stays for a very long time, even after the movie ends. Dont be surprised if u find yourself in Pandora in ur dreams the very day when u watch this flick. :)

Ok, i could breathe a while now, and move on to the rest half of the movie post interval. :) Here on, i must say the entire build up is hurt. The script disappoints you here. All u can hope to watch is human attack, destruction, fire, misery...repeated and old stuffs which you have seen hundred and thouands of times. Honestly, i didnt like the post interval part of it as much as the first half. All you want to see is Pandora with Navi world alone, the human inflitration just spoils the charm completely.

To wrap it up in short, finally Jake manages to save a part of the Navi race if not the entire colony. And he himself transforms into Navi for ever.

I havent given much detail of the story. It anyway isnt much about the story, its all bout Pandora. :) Watch out for yourself. It sure does stand to the hype created around it :) My rating though will be divided this time :D

My Rating: Pandora- 5/5 Human Invasion-3.5/5

Rocket Singh:Salesman of the Year

Absolute fresh come back from the Yash Raj Banners. Delightful to see some serious development in the Hindi Cinemas. You will enjoy the entire movie even if it stretches for 3 long hrs. But i also have to admit that you will be missing the the Bollywood tadka without even a single song in the movie(all are in the background). Nevertheless, Ranbir rocks!!!! :)

Plot:

This flick entirely is dedicated to the SALES. Harpreet Singh Bedi(Ranbir) is a BCOM graduate with cut throat percentage. While his friends look more worried for his career, Harpreet is the least concerned, as he knows what he is meant for. He prefers Sales, and keeps applyin till he gets one job. Another important character stands to be Harpreet's grandfather (Prem Chopra).Half of the movie till the interval is roller-coaster ride in Sales field learning process. Harpreet has lot of patience and a very positive attitude. Amidst all the sarcastic welcoming by his colleagues, he holds on to it, untill he learns there is no value of his honesty and fair ways of working. And he is abused every now and then by his bosses or his colleagues and he is completely shattered.This is where Harpreet gets his lady luck :D Not just one, but 2 of them :) one of the ladies is the receptionist.She sympathises on him, and gets him some orders. And the next lady charmin is his customer, introducin Shazahn Padamsee as Sherena.Also gradually develops from a customer to lady love later on. :) In the first meet, Singh is once again abused by the ladies, this is where Singh decides to work 'hatke' and deliver the orders personally rather than representing the company 'AYS'.

While his colleagues continues to dis respect him and make fun of him, he out of frustration takes a bold step of gradually creating his own company "Rocket Sales Corporations'. As and when he felt the need of a technician, he hires one of his colleagues as a partner in his company. Slowly, his business grows and he starts acquiring more people in his team, from the receptionist to the peon. Now more and more orders are coming his way. And they frame some basic protocols as well as services which gives them extra egde over the existing companies. But meanwhile, one or the other hurdle keeps fallin their way to success. But every time, he manages to fight through it.

The rest of the movie is his struggle to earn back his respect on his own terms. THe climax is when he finally falls apart and has to bend on his knees before the politics and ends up selling his company. But guys, the movie has no sad ending, the bouncing back has been scripted really well. Absolutely,loved the ending as well.

There is a lot more to the movie, which i would like you yourself to go and find out as this flick promises to entertain as well as absolutely fall in love with the characters. No domination at all by Ranbir, every single character has its own charm.Must watch!

My Rating: 4/5

Paa

Brilliant movie. Kudos to the entire team of actors. Each one of them reinvented their skills in acting. Spellbound on Big B, Abhishekh was looking very fresh after a long time and Vidya was lovely. You will definately miss your mother if staying away from home. :)

A 13 year old boy is suffering with a rare disease called Progeria. No, no need to assume the movie to be a sympathetic, sensitive one. As the child doesnt need any. His brain isnt underdeveloped, its only the body aging which accelerates fast. SO, you can expect to watch a new generation teenage kid with all the new age jokes, and naughty acts and all the tantrums. A very well balanced script. Nothin goes overboard. Out of 2 hrs and 15 mins of length, u have fun for complete 1.5 hrs, sentis are only for 30 mins max. Worth a watch and a tribute to the actor at his 60's.


Plot:
 
Abhishekh(Amol) is a new age politician(MP) who has the outlook to change the face of current politics and an urge to do some good work for the mass. He visits a school during a fest and happens to come across Auro(Amitabh) for the first time and is moved. He realises he has unintentionally created a hysteria in the media spotlightin Auro.So he makes up for it by accepting the demand of Auro for a visit to Rashtrapati Bhavan.On the other hand Vidya(Vidya) learns that her son Auro got face to face with Amol who is Auro's father. The movie goes back to a brief flashack, where a college affair brims between the two and ends up in pregnancy. Amol proposes abortion for the future of respective careers, while Vidya choose to be a mother and take care of her baby on her own with the support of her very forward mother(Arundhati Nag).

Back to present date, Auro goes through ups and downs in his health due to physical weakness. Meanwhile, Vidya tells him the truth behind his father. Auro decides not to let it out for his mother's sake. He goes around with his Paa for 2 days in Delhi but never tells a word bout the truth of their relation.

Then how does Amol learn bout the relation he was never aware of? And how will a dying Auro conjure his family? This consitutes of the rest of the movie.

The plot is no extra ordinary. The movie is worth a watch for its presentation and performances. Its touching and its hilarious. Music is nothing great.A must watch is recommended though.

My rating: 3.5/5
