404 : Error not found




One very intriguing movie. A must watch. Loved it :) Small budgeted off beat movies have come a long way.

Pluses:
  • The killer second half. Climax is the soul of the movie.
  • Brilliant acting by all the actors , particularly Nishikant Kamat, Immaduddin Shah, Rajvvir Aroraa and  Tisca Chopra
  • I wudnt say its a v slow movie, it definitely keeps u engaged.
  • Very thought provoking open ended plot. Your mind carries it out of the theatre.

Minuses:
  • Not really any. 
  • Only one negative on my part, cant help being an audience :) couldnt help comparing the flick with Lage raho Munnabhai :D

My rating: 4/5

Pirates of Caribbean: On the stranger tides 3D





Overall an average fantasy adventure flick. The other Pirate series were better. Though its a nice watch but nothing to go crazy about.

Pluses:
  • Goes without saying, Johnny Depp, better known as Captain Jack Sparrow :) Brilliant and witty as always :)
  • Penelope Cruz worth it, the first amongst the Pirates to have looked ohh so beautiful :) 
  • The mermaids were the best part of the movie when it comes to fantasy, something never seen before :)

Minuses:
  • 3D not worth it.
  • Rest of the script apart from mermaids were cliche.
  • Quite a dampner without those ugly looking creatures which makes Pirate series stand out.

My rating: Script- 2.5/5
                Fantasy/Adventure- 2.5/5
                Star cast:4/5
                3D- 2/5

Ragini MMS




Not a bad watch for theatrical lovers, might not be as entertaining in small screens!!
As it may seem, not really a copy of Paranormal Activity.


Pluses:
  • Raj Kumar Yadav(the male lead), fab acting, be it horny, shitty, funny or scared...he presents you the character exactly as required according to the script. You will love him.
  • Horror elements are not freaky, but they manage to scare when you expect them.
  • Humour is a part of all genres now, you can expect some good laughter here as well, just to make sure you dont have nightmares when you sleep at night post movie :D


Minuses:
  • The chilling factor was lacking, subtle stories can get to your nerves if directed in a right way.
  • To your disappointment guys, there is not much of any adult content in it. :)
  • Bad part about horror movies these days is, that the dark nervous factor doesnt stay with you, horror shudnt really be adulterated with humour.


My rating: 2.5/5

Fast five




If you liked the previous series, this one you will love for sure. The best in the series :)

Pluses:
  • Mind blowing beginning, sustaining the feel of it for the rest of the flick.
  • Vin diesel, he is the lead, focussed.. No nonsense attitude
  • Lots of good action barring the climax part.

Minuses:
  • Undigestible climax: poor reasoning,mindles action. 
  • The main part of the movie put me off after such a brilliant build up. If you are aware of the fact, that The Rock is a team with the rest somewhere in the movie, u keep awaiting the moment, only to have a dumb reasoning.
  • Hopeless, mindless action in the end, I hated the ending, however you may enjoy it, while I was missing 'Hrithik' or 'John' from 'Dhoom' fame to do the task, they would have done it better am sure :)
  • I didnt find the chics worth it, nor did I like the family angle induced in it; only to spoil the platform of some good action from the ladies.


My rating: 3/5

Haunted 3D




My sincere request, its a must watch provided you are watching it with a group of punters :) Had super fun in the movie. Very very entertaining flick in all respects :)

Pluses:

  • 3D, worth it!! Couldnt believe I was watching a hindi flick. Thanks to Vikram for conjuring the technicians of 'Avatar' fame to have the effects.Off late watched many flicks in 3D, nothing comes close to this one. Good work :)
  • The flick is a concoction of all the masalas, everything you need for a paisa vasool satisfaction.
  • It very well succeeds in scaring the hell out of you wherever there is an appearance, its a must watch in 3D.
  • I guarantee you a good laughter throughout, dialogues do that for you.
  • Script is mind blowing, you have not just one but 2 ghosts, out of which one is psychic :D If thats not enough, you have time travel, rape victim ghost,  lesbian ghost, you name it and you have it :P 
  • Loved each and every comments passed during the movie with the audience :P including my companion :) Made it a worth watch
  • Music is soothing, unlike conventional horror movies.


Minuses:

  • Mediocre acting by all.
  • WARNING:Never go with an expectation of spine chilling quality horror stuff. This is a pure entertainer with horror element :) 
  • Please please pay tribute to Memo for dance act which is absolutely misplaced, and so join hands with the female lead-Tia Bajpai in laughing your heart out while he performs  :D


My rating: Script: 2/5
                   Chilling factor: 3/5
                   3D quality: 4/5
                   Acting:2/5
                   Entertaintment factor: 4/5

Set right expectations :)

Source code





A sci-fi time travel flick and thats about it :) Nevertheless, a good watch

Pluses:
  • Jake Glyenhall but of course :) 
  • Lack of clarity around the main character, keeps you wondering and the flow of story keeps you glued.

Minuses:
  • Michelle Monaghan. the female lead is actually quite irritating
  • The end almost looked like forced happy ending, could have been different something.
  • A few places it drags, when you expect tension, you find leisure romance, females in the movies are worthless, their casting should be avoided if the script doesnt demand.

My rating: 3/5

Thor




Mediocre stuff. Can be ignored.

Pluses:

Chris Hemsworth as 'Thor', only for his attitude and that one and only scene where he is shirtless ;)

Minuses:

  • Boring cliche script. 
  • Natalie Portman wasted.
  • Rest of the cast can be easily ignored.
  • 3D is waste.
My rating: 2/5

Scream 4




An apparent thriller. The script is intriguing, direction is a spoiler though.

Pluses:
  • The beginning, pretty entertaining.
  • The build and the plot, keeps u guessing about the murderer
  • Somehow there is a thing I like bout thrillers, when the miscreant is uncovered, your mind automatically runs into flash back, unearthing all the clues u missed in guessing the culprit :)

Minuses:
  • Very poor direction.
  • Mockery of US police, what a shame.
  • Unrealistic feautures and occurences.

My rating: 2.5/5
