Argo

You cannot miss this one. A seat binding thriller based on true story.Easily movie of the month.

Pluses:

• Ben Affleck, beautifully presented and charismatically ripped
• Powerful story, reiterated well. There are many movies built on real life happenings, but there are not many who can keep your arse at the edge of the seat in the climax
• All the other characters of the movie and the captives were very natural, it gives you a feeling of being captive yourself
• A blend of humor with such a serious story is just amazingly weaved. And thats makes your movie experience complete
• All the human emotions portrayed very well, be it the extreme fear, risk, self esteem, freedom or humor
• One movie after very long which left me with some after effects. You feel good being free and moving around without any fear

Minuses:

There is no script to be blamed for neither music. Movie is presented so well, that you really need to be a jerk to be adamant enough to find a loophole


My rating: 4/5

English Vinglish

Movie based on morals of an Indian Woman. A good watch for an entire family.

Pluses:

• After eons that i can proudly say, that it is a movie meant for the entire family and relevant to every member of a family
• Sridevi is the only intelligent comeback that i have witnessed so far, brilliant selection of a story. She sets and example to all the other last generation heroines that after a certain age you shouldnt attempt to look hot :P
• Sridevi had quite a natural acting and pulled off a home maker's and a mothers role perfectly well. Cheers to her!!
• The simplicity of the script is perhaps the USP of the movie. It is no extraordinary but given the mindless junk remakes of South Indian flicks that were coming off late to Bollywood, this one made a hell lot of sense :D
• The intentions of the movie was met, all the morals and values of an Indian woman rightly and beautifully put forth

Minuses:

• The music was just about ok, forgettable
• Duration again, was a bit too long. Easily could be edited
• Ironically, where Sridevi is playing a character of a hard core Hindi speaking woman, herself fumbled a lot of times and not very clear with her speech

My Rating: 3/5

OMG: Oh my God!

A very different concept, though we all know its yet not original, but in the end an Indian copy. Very much taken :) Its a good watch nerverthelss :)

Pluses:

• An eye opener for a lot of people, if not all. The roots of the story and its intentions go quite deep but presented only on the surface.Those who can grab it will be enlightened for life :D
• A tight slap on all the godmen, and hyprocritic practices in India.Concepts of such kinds needs to be bought upon, a very controversial and unsafe topic to deal with, couldnt be presented any better than through a fictional character and mode of drama blended with humor.
• Paresh Rawal is the lead of the movie, and wat a charismatic guy. He pulls the role off with utmost ease.
• Akshay Kumar had more or less cameo role in the movie, however omnipresent in the entire flick. Apart from the fact how weird he looked in the avatar of a god in the end, i loved his swanky Avatar ;) If gods be this hot, i dont mind getting back to temples :P

Minuses:

Movie stretched a tad too long. Wasnt really required.

My Rating: 3.5/5

Delhi Safari

Very cute flick for all the kids and adults. Should give it a try.

Pluses:

• The USP of the flick lies in its dialect in a true Mumbaiker style.Gives you a very Indianised feel from the regular animated movies
• The dialogues were very well written, usual animation flicks are way too cute, this one gives you a different flavor
• All characters were very well sketched, each one of them had personal touch of every state
• Every emotion was well portrayed. Be it the family angle or self esteem/attitude or wit and even humor
• The script however reminds you of Madagascar trail.Nevertheless, in doesnt draw too much of comparison
• There are quite a few numbers in the flick, which are all mostly fun. Music which wont bore you at the least
• A light hearted film for all ages

Minuses:

• Animation was never at par excellence with Pixar. It was very very average. You can easily make out the locomotives to be very robotic and not life like
• A few contents here and there which is sort of adult and may not be a very good idea to be exposed to the kids

My Rating: 3/5
