Ye saali zindagi





Not a bad watch.

It had gave a v mixed kinda reactions, a few part is v classic while rest v cliche. At one scene, u feel "u r lovin the show", on the other, u feel why is it been dragged unnecessarily.

Pluses:

  • Irfan Khan,undoubtedly.Very subtle in all facets of emotions.:)
  • Arunoday Singh was good too, he had an awesome combination of cute looks and tough character :)
  • Some really classy scenes in bits and parts earned it the rest of the rating n saved it from being a trash.


Minuses:

  • Chitrangada Singh. I expected a lot out of her. She was quite a disappointment that way. 
  • Songs were Oh!! so horrible to bear, and over that Chitrangada in it, somehow felt she was forced into it, her body just doesnt move.
  • Script could have been cut short to 2 hours. It dragged at a lot of places.


My Rating: 2.5/5

Sanctum





Yet another real life based adventure movie. Not much of action in it, felt like another " 127 Hours". Rest is open to your imagination. :)

Pluses:

Location was superb.Apart from it there was nothing much to watch in it.


Minuses:
  • Dont even think of watchin it in 3D. Waste.
  • Rest you could refer to the 'Minuses' from '127 Hours' :D apart from being absolutely inactive. (Since here its a story of a team and not a single person) :D


My Rating: 2/5

Dil to bachcha hai ji




Light hearted entertaintment. Sigh of reflief!!! Finally some non serious movie :)

Pluses:

  • Emraan Hashmi!!! Everyone else is overshadowed in front of his screen presence :)
  • Good and light humour, and of course typical Emraan Hashmi jokes :)
  • Movie at least doesnt feel like dragged!! So can be enjoyed.
  • Songs are as expected soothing and melodious. You have Emraan in the movie, and a few pluses are sheer copy+paste :D


Minuses:

  • All the lead females!!! Horrible!! Especially Shruti Hassan.
  • The role of Shruti almost felt forced in, she wasnt required really.

127 Hours




Time pass. Nothing great.

Pluses:

  • Breathtaking location, The Grand Canyon. :)
  • Second half is watchable.The movie is pulled post interval period only.
  • The adrenalin rush was felt only in the first 15 mins of the movie, the rest of it was pretty dull.


Minuses:

  • First half is pretty boring. Not much of any action.
  • They could have made it a little better...the guy remains inactive for the most of the part...even the struggle to sustain life isnt portrait as well as the situation demanded.


My Rating: 2/5

Dhobi Ghat




Bored bored bored!! An art movie and to top it all, the same reality where you can somewhere or the other see your own reflections. Need something fresh now...enough of reality.

Pluses:

  • Aamir Khan, need not mention..He always is worth watching :)
  • Prateik Babbar..loved him in Dhobi and the innocent look.
  • All the other actors were good on their own part.
  • Not a movie for contemporary audience, but yet a good experiment.


Minuses:

  • Slow, loose patience at times.
  • Story quite as much as you wud expect, nothing much to wait till the movie ends, moreover there is no intermission in the flick. :D 1.5 hours of continous display of art :D
  • No intentions of post mortem anymore :)


I guess, i am just in a mood to dream, to fly...and watch some such movies which reinforces your belief in imaginary life. Dying for some feel good movie.

My Rating: 2.5/5

Turning 30



Beware!!! Its a woman centric movie. Its a movie about the new age independent woman living in urban cities. Nice watch!! :)

Pluses:

  • All the ladies out there...you will absolutely love Gul Panag, if u also do represent an independent lass. :)
  • And all the men out there, you too sure are to fall for the dimples and charm of the lady Gul in the movie. :)
  • Good plot and nicely presented.
  • Natural and easy going acting by all, no heavy embellishments on the characters. 


Minuses:

  • A little too much of detailing here and there but very much tolerable.
  • Songs you could easily let pass.

Cinema is becoming way to realistic day by day, cant distinguish it to be a plus or a minus.


    My Rating: 3.5/5

    No one killed Jessica



    A slightly over hyped flick. It isnt worth the rating given elsewhere, believe me. Though not all that bad a watch :)

    Pluses:

    • Rani Mukherjee, goes without sayin. She is the heart of the movie. Her's is the only character which had the required punch.
    • Rani's dialogues were the real patakhaas, and also i personally loved her smart dressing throughout.
    • My advice is to sit patiently for the second half of the movie, else come for the post interval part only. :)
    • One or two songs which had the beats and the thump.


    Minuses:

    • Vidya Balan was a let down in my eyes. Her usual power packed performance was absolutely missing. She looked like a looser in the entire flick.
    • Dialogues, v cliche and more than being cliche, v v repetitive, barring Rani's of course :)
    • First half is extremely boring, i felt like moving out of the theatre.


    My Rating: 2.5/5
