Salt


Absolute time pass. Nothing in the script, nothin new to watch. Pure action. Watch it only for Jolie.

Pluses:
  • Angelina Jolie. Watch the movie only for her.
  • One would have to wait really long to see Bollywood actresses doing such stunts. Imagine Madhuri Dixit of Angelina's age doin something like Salt :D 
Minuses:
  • Cliched script.
  • Not a paisa vasool for the female audiences. :D
  • Its a v short movie, for bout less than 2 hrs. Another reason for not being a paisa vasool flick. :D
  • One good part of a short movie is, if u dont see any pluses, u dont have many minuses either :P
My Rating: 2.5/5

Tere Bin Laden


Entertaining but not for all kinds of audiences, strictly for multiplex audience. Sarcastic sense of humour dominates.

Pluses:
  • No huge expectations from any character, at times its good for a small budget movie with low profile actors :) And hence they deliver well, at least apparently they do. :D
  • Sarcastic humour is the soul of the movie. A lot of double meaning dialogues as well.
  • Look alike of Laden is mind blowing.
  • Well written script, without hurting any sentiments...opens out everything.
  • Its my first experience of Karachi on a big screen, liked it. :)
Minuses:
  • Since u dont expect much, u dont really mind anythin. :)

My Rating: 3.5/5

Udaan

 
 
A movie meant for multiplex and teenage audience. A story of every rebel teenager. Quite a slow movie.

Pluses:
  • Rajat Barmecha for his rocking debut.
  • Ronit Roy, u will absolutely hate him by the end of the movie, such is this man's impact on u. :) Very very convincing act.
  • For those who enjoy some literary stuffs, there are some good deep rooted poetic narrations.
  • The dont care attitude and a rebel inside every teenage kid is portrayed pretty well.
Minuses:
  • Its documentary style presentation, too slow.
  • Not a very significant role for Ram Kapoor,he had much better scope than utilised.
  • Music at some places is soothing, others ignorable.
  • Movie lacks grip, not many will be able to hold on to the patience to sit through the entire thin. :)
My Rating: 3/5

Knight and Day


Full on action and drama with a touch of sarcastic humour througout. All in all a complete time pass, entertaining flick. :)

Pluses:
  • Tom Cruise :)
  • Cameroon Diaz did a good job too, even though am not a big fan of hers. :)
  • Some of the witty humourous dialogues were the actual soul of the movie, without which the movie would have been the same old cliched action drama.
  • Its USP, is its fast paced action which doesnt let u get bored even for a moment.

Minuses:
  • Mindless stuffs, keep ur brains and all logics at home :)
  • Since there is not much of mind applied into it, so i am blind towards every other minuses :P

My Rating: 3/5 ( Purely for its entertainment value :) )

Toys Storys 3


One really nice animation flick in quite sometime. :) The name sounds quite kiddish n silly, but its meant for all age groups. Light hearted, refreshing movie. :)

Pluses:
  • Simplicity of the story, v cute. :) Nicely done script. :)
  • All the characters especially the Bear, the big doll are awesome and so are our Buzz and Cowboy. :)
  • Takes you through a joyous ride of fanatasy world, which has all masalas, viz. politics, action, drama, love stories :)
Minuses:
  • Once again, 3D wasnt really required, its v much okay to watch it in 2D.
  • Might feel a little long while watchin, u cant cook much out of a simple script.

My Rating: 3.5/5

I Hate Love Storys


Long time having watched anythin but entertaintment. :) Even after so much of rona dhona involved, it never fails to create a good sense of humour at right places. :) A v gd weekend watch. One serious advice, dont expect anythin extraordinary.

Pluses:
  • Sonam Kapoor looks just and simply "WOW" throughout. :)
  • We love Imran as cutie pie and not as a macho man. :)
  • Whenever u feel the emotions are taking a toll, the good humour of the movie keeps you going. Fresh humour is the best thin bout this flick.
  • You will love all the comic references to every Karan Johar's romantic "SAGA's" :D
  • Imran's fren/colleauge/guide is one fab character. :)

Minuses:
  • Music most of the times is boring, apart from a 1 or 2 songs, every other songs is comfortably ignorable.
  • First half is better than second half, post interval it drags a bit but the diretor manages to end it well. :)
  • Imran Khan's character is quite cynical and irritating at times especially in the beginning, and he actually feels so feminish with his girlish bak-bak image. His dialogues shud have been cut short, he doesnt need to speak so much to prove his hatred towards love stories after all :D
  • At a few instances the drama is a little too much to bear, but i guess u shoud give this much of edge to Karan Johar after all :P

My Rating: 3/5
