Sherlock Homles

Absolutely loved it :) Didnt expect much though, since i didnt find the trailors to be as attractive. Nevertheless, must say, RObert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes completely rocks. I have always loved him since Iron Man. Now love him even more :D

Plot:

The devil in the movie is Lord Blackwood, who is heavily into some kinda black magic and is incessantly into human sacrifice. Sherlock Holmes is called upon to stop the murders. The duo,Sherlock with Dr Watson(Jude Law) manages to put Lord Blackwood behind bars. He is goin to be hanged to deadth, before which he makes his last wish, and that is to see Sherlock for the last time. Meanwhile there is someone else who wants to trap Sherlock and sends a lady as a messenger for a contract.A new job to find out a man missing. Sherlock smells something fishy in it, and follows her to find out more.

Meanwhile, Blackwood before prosecution, warns Sherlock that there are 3 more deadth awaiting which will change the nature of the world. A few days after Blackwood's funeral, there is a news around, that Blackwood rose from his grave. Police investigate along with Sherlock to dig out from the grave, only to raise more eyebrows. Dr. Watson meanwhile plans gettin married while the case and frenship keeps him engaged.

This follows a series of chase to solve the mystery and the many difficulties they face on the way to find the truth behind all the unsolved happenings. In one of the occassions, Sherlock is taken to the father of Blackwood, where he gets some more information, and decides to take the case on his own stride. Soon after, Blackwood murders his own father and summons the court to bring forward his plans to rule over the world with his deadly magic, and persuades the people to follow his ways and get ready to witness a complete change in the ways of nature, where the control will be in his hands.

The mystery was kept so well covered, that even Sherlock cudnt decipher it untill he himself followed the rules of black magic to an extent, where he got his more detailed clues.Thenafter continues a few further chase and escape sequences ultimately solving all the mysteries with science.

I would not like to unfold all the mysteries in my blog. It definately deserves a watch and moreover smart,witty and intelligent Sherlock speaking out to you himself is any given day more fun :)

Final Verdict:

The retro look of the movie, where u can see the London Bridge in making :) Also the more than a narrator role of Dr. Watson for Sherlock Holmes, feels amazing. Completely smitten over my Robert Downey Jr. :) A must watch for the lovers of detective stories.

My Rating: 3.5/5

Pyaar Impossible

You can ignore this flick without any doubt. Waste of time, money and effort.

Plot:
Its a story of a so called geek, for whom his second love is machine and 1st love being a girl. He he, yeah, a GEEK :D He falls in love with hotty Priyanka Chopra(Alisha Merchant) in college. Of course one thing is the director managed to promote the movie only with this angle before release. The movie is completely different from what you would expect as a story. Uday Chopra(Abhay Sharma) is always ignored, his presence is never felt by any of the happening crowd of the college. Alisha is expelled from college and the love story ends even before brewing up itself. 7 Years later, Abhay Sharma is living with this dad in Mumbai, where he is jobless, and tryin to sell his software, OS which he named as Unity and has invested 7 yrs of his labour in it. He comes across a fraud businessman, Dino Morea, who steals his software from him. Abhay unaware of this fact, tries selling his software
elsewhere, where from he gets to know that the same OS is already going to be launched in the market by a Singaporean company 'Pinnacle Software'. Now he travels to Singapore, looking out for Dino who steals it from him. Alas, he doesnt succeed but comes across the love of his life Alisha, once again. Now Alisha is working as a PR(Public relationship) manager for Pinnacle SOftware. Abhay sees another ray of hope, and tries talkin to Alisha in his first visit to her home. Here is a twist, where u see Alisha being a divorced, single mother and working. Abhay, in a confusion ends up being a nanny to her daughter.

The child actress is as annoyin as her mother in the movie. Yes, Priyanka as well as the child actor really over acted in this movie. Now the daugher is really a monster, but our abhay nanny manages to pull through. Becomes a fren of the daughter. Meanwhile Dino has already sold off Unity renaming it as 'Unified' to Pinnacle. Dino is also flirtin with Alisha and wants to date her.Alisha calls a few people to dinner at her place, and thats where Abhay gets to catch Dino. He avoids confrontin him in front of Alisha, and meets him in person later. Abhay challenges Dino to return back his software in vain. Finally,Abhay decides to balance his nanny-hood with his passion for his OS. He takes up a job in Pinnacle in a lower level being a computer mechanic. He gets an access to the server machine where this OS is installed. Now the OS is goin to be annouced to the world LIVE. This is where Abhay
has to prove himself.

On the other hand, Alisha discovers a fren in her daughters Nanny and starts spendin a lot of time with him. While Dino is tryin all his luck on the lady. One day Dino(Varun) and Abhay meet face to face with each other at Alisha's place. Varun exposes Abhay, in a negative way. Alisha loses all faith in Abhay and they part once again, only to realise later that the one guy who loved her since 7 years from college was him, and that she was a fool and a loser to let him go. In the end, she succeeds to get him back, and takes him to the launch of the software. Now he played the oldest trick, to change the password of the system, which Varun fails to crack in front of the media durin the launch. Here Alisha takes the stance and introduces Abhay, the orignial programmer of the software and he steals the rest of the show. And finally the happy reunion of a full fledged family, father, mother and daughter on the stage LIVE....he he he :D

Final Verdict:

The direction is poor. Even when the movie has so many different instances, it is not at all engrossing. You feel lousy by the interval itself. Over acting from Priyanka and the child artist makes it even more unbearable. Uday was so so. Nothing new to watch. The only thing i liked bout is the placings of the songs. The songs were fresh soundin and not at all misplaced. After a long time saw a movie where the songs were not forced in just for the
heck of it. Other than that theres nothin to hold on to.

My Rating: 2/5

3 Idiots

Simply an over-rated movie. Too much of hype, just not worth it. No denial to the fact, that its entertaining, but we have seen much more better from Raju Hirani as well as Aamir Khan. Festive season could be a favour Or else just a time pass flick.

Highlights:

 To begin with,you will be a lot reminded of apna Munnabhai in character Rancho(Aamir). The way he does help people in his own different ways. The director should grow out of Munnabhai now. Its only Sanjay Dutt who can suit this social worker role the best. Nobody can replace Sanjay Dutt, not even Aamir. He should understad that. As the movie begins, especially audiences who have graduated from Engg Colleges, could identify a lot. And hence, u expect a lot more of similar nostalgic scenes depicting the life of budding Engineers. But as the moves advances, what u can only see is Aamir Khan, as if the movie is made for him. Big Actors like Madhavan, Kareena and even Sharman cudnt do much, because Aamir dominated so much. Thats something i totally hated.

I was a bit late in checking out this flick this time :D So had quite lot of recommendations from friends to go and watch this flick for its balanced story. Good humour and emotions in the right places. I am sorry to say this, but i didnt really find this movie balanced at all. The humour which were created with those silly jokes which you would already have heard a lot of times over forwards and smses, can make u only smile at the max. you cant laugh at
the same jokes over and over again. And emotions were class apart. I have never seen any actor even in Karan Johar's movie cry as much as in this flick. Every alternate scene and the guys have the eyes readily filled with tears. Even the lightest of scenes are forcefully depicted as emotional.

They added as much as masala possible in the flick. So much of masala, that it no way makes any mark as a good movie. Engg College has been made a joke of. Where every other month u see guys attempting suicide. ok, i accept it happens, but not every other month. And the heights, they also show a lady delivering baby in the principal's office. And the delivery is done by our genius doc cum engg- Aamir Khan. If all these are not enough, guys please watch the scene post delivery, the significance of the famous phrase"All izz well". You just cant help but to bang your head over the sutpidity of the scene.

Okay, now comin to music, songs looked a bit forced with no meaningful context really. But isnt tat bad to the ears. I loved the get up of Madhavan as a student, but he cudnt stand much in front of our dominating charm Aamir, Sharman was almost neglected if he wudnt have committed suicide. I loved kareena as well, but alas she was wasted in the movie. Why does any big actor sign a movie sharing screen space with Aamir, is beyond my understanding.

The most shockin part is the rating it has got. A whopping 5 stars!!! :O Was the credit bought and sold, no idea. But it certainly doesnt deserve so much of accolades. This would be my first ever review, where i hardly write anythin good about a flick. Its mostly because, you would have already read all very good about this flick, and hardly any wrong except for the controvery relating to the stolen credit of the original writer of the book "Five Points Someone"- Chetan Bhagat.

I would just want you to find out for yourself, whether the movie really touches your heart as any series of Munnabhai or even Taare Zameen Par. Be it entertainment or emotions, it failed to touch my heart at least. Many of you might not agree with this particular review of mine. But wat the hell, am earning no good with my reviews. Its my opinion in the end.

My Rating: 3/5 (for the light entertaintment and feel good factor during festive season :) )
