Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows II




Best in the entire series. You will love it. A must watch for even those who are not Harry Potter fans

Pluses:
  • No wasting time in dialogues, stories unfold consecutively with every scene.
  • The script and the presentation keeps you glued to the seat.
  • The climax is beholding....for those who havent read the book will really enjoy it.
  • Good work by all the lead actors. No words for Daniel Redcliffe.( We will miss you as Harry Potter)
  • Nice cinematography.

Minuses:
  • Didn't quite appreciate the end. There is nothing a director could have done, since the story is already written.
  • 3D is a waste again.

My Rating: 4/5 (For the class of Harry Potter series)

Zindagi milegi na dobara




This is not a movie, its an experience. :) Absolutely loved it. Though not built for all class of audience. For those who love to be out there. :)

Pluses:
  • The energy in the flick. There is just so much of activeness and unmatchable energy in it.
  • Simplicity of the script, there is not much of complication in the story, yet does it for you. :)
  • The presentation/direction....thats the USP of the flick. Very subtle dialogues, light minded humour and fun filled joy ride. :)
  • Expressions,i can watch this movie thrice to note every different expression of all the three main character in each dialogue/scene. :)
  • Hrithik Roshan, no words enough to describe him, just amazing :) You will hate him in the beginning and fall in love with him by the end. :)
  • Farhan Akhtar, he was the heart of the movie. Light character.
  • Abhay Deol, not the center of attraction here, but no less any other, without his presence, the trio is incomplete. :)
  • Katrina Kaif, loved her character in the movie. Females are otherwise treated as accessories in Bollywood flicks.
  • Awesome coverage of Spain, Spanish tourism is endoresed well :)

Minuses:
  • We missed Hrithik dancing exclusively. There wasnt enough platform created for him to dance :(
  • Music could have been a little better. The music goes only with the movie, you wont take it back home.
  • Kalki Koechlin was wasted.

My Rating: 3.5/5

Murder 2



Has no connection to original Murder. Not a bad watch.

Pluses:

  • Jacqueline looks hot throughout, as is the USP of the movie.
  • Emraan was his usual self and great.
  • The movie at least doesnt drag, you dont feel bored.
  • Sulagna Panigrahi( as Reshma) created an aura of sympathy around the story, she acted well. In fact she was the main actress in the movie. :P

Minuses:

  • It didnt live upto the expectations created through the promotions.
  • There were hardly any gore scenes. I kept awaiting for some violence, but most of the violent content were usual stuffs.They skipped a lot of things shown during the trailors.
  • Bold scene was just one of the lot,usual Emraan Hashmi stuff...nothing out of the world.
  • Jacqueline was wasted, hardly any role to play.
  • Script lacked a good story, no mystery,no suspense.
  • Cliche dialogues and very illogical presentation.
  • Emraan didnt look hot at all..weird hairstyle and never shirtless :D as was promoted. :(

My Rating: 3/5 (For the overall feel of the movie)

Transformers: Dark of the moon



For all the transformers fans...a must watch :)

Pluses:

  • You can just not expect more of the transformers....a complete 2.5 hours of pure action only :)
  • Even though it feels been dragged a bit here and there, but the make and various styles in action never makes u feel monotonous.
  • It gives you plenty of instances to whistle as and when the heroic appearance of the good will transformers happen, just when you expect a tragedy.
  • Brilliant cinematography.
  • Good work by Shia LaBeouf
  • Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks hot throughout

Minuses:

  • None can replace the oomph of Megan Fox. We missed you.
  • The movie is pretty long for a hollywood action flick.
  • 3D is a waste expenditure.

My rating: 4/5

Delhi Belly



One fucking entertaining flick. Thats the best i can write to its justice. Please watch in only in English. Go, grab the tickets if you havent yet :)

Pluses:

  • The movie is scripted to be built in English, please dont get carried away for dialogues, expecting it to be better in Hindi. Watch it in English only. :)
  • Its a very very bold flick. You might have seen a lot of movies off late with bold dialogues, this one gives you a little extra edge with some scandalizing scenes. Beware of the company you chose to watch it, might land you in some serious embarrassment.
  • Imran Khan and Kunal Roy Kapoor were exceptionally good. Imran looked really fab in such a shabby grumpy look throughout :)
  • Shenaaz for a change got some better role to play.
  • Superb humor, though most of it nasty...still makes the multiplex audience break its monotonous silence. :)
  • Its just a pure entertainer, and that's about it.

Minuses:
  • All the music is in the background :( Here we really wanted to see the videos :(
  • Vir Das drama for his heart break and the song 'Jaa Churail' was absolutely not required..it was a headache.
  • At a few places it felt a bit dragging, or forcefully attempting to cook a story out of a non script, plain entertainment flick.
  • For a flick without music and short as 1.5 hours, they could have made it even better, especially when it has a nod from the censor board in itself.
  • Vir Das was kind of wasted.

My Rating: 3.5/5
