Something Borrowed - This one is for the rom com fans ..And yes love is more important than friends who treat u like dirt :)

Based on the novel by Emily Giffin of the same name ,this movie is surely for the romantic comedy fans so not really candy floss but definitely mushy and has a damn nice feel good kinda feeling and a great chick flick :)

The storyline is not really predictable as much as much some of the critics have claimed the same,though initially when I had seen the trailers I thought maybe it was another version of 'My Best Friends Wedding' but no this one is quite refreshing and has no resemblance with 'My Best Friends Wedding' for sure.

I had not read the novel so went to see the movie with an open mind and I am glad I did that.

The movie is fun and totally entertaining loved the performances of all the four main characters - Ginnifer Goodwin,Kate Hudson,John Krasinki(loved him totally),Colin Egglesfield

This one is a pleasant romantic comedy totally pleasing to the eyes and ears and honestly I quite enjoyed it my kinda movie for sure :)

The Hangover Part II - Hilarious to the core..haven't laughed like this continously for a long time now :) Watch It Suerely :)

The wolfpack is back and back with loads of fun,twists and turns and peals of laughter,totally messed up and totally crazy I loved every bit of it and so did the audience.

Avoid the so called critics negative reviews this one is here to entertain you to the core that you will probably actually wonder why did the critic ever write such negative reviews at the first place.

Among the Hollywood releases this year so far I would surely rate this one the best one under the comic category.And Bangkok my dear can be equally fun or more than Las Vegas like what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas likewise what happens in Bangkok stays in Bangkok too :)

The movie has loads of humor in all shapes and sizes and yes there is bit of nudity too ya so please keep the kids at bay and let them enjoy Kung Fu Panda 2 instead :)

So the plot in brief - its Stu's (Ed Helm) wedding this time and yes you have guessed it right the venue is of course the Amazing Thailand and the night before the ceremony, the guys decide to go out for a drink, and take the brides' young teenage brother, Teddy and hell breaks loose after that...the next morning they wake up in seedy hotel room in Bangkok city far away from their resort - venue of the wedding and well what happens next is a roller coaster ride for you to find out and me to think and laugh about it :)

Kung Fu Panda 2 - If you have liked the part one there is no two way that you are not going to like this one immensely :)

I would really not like to compare Kung Fu Panda part 1 with part 2 but having said that I think I have enjoyed watching them both immensely and its been worth every penny.

I witnessed the whole theater whistling with the entry of Po the cutest Panda ever and there were roars of laughter and loads of applause every now and then which speaks volumes about how much the audience was enjoying and yes of course me included in that :)

There is something extremely magical and mysterious about the Oriental land and this movie though animated brings out those charming qualities really well in terms of the content as well as the visuals and the movie is full of fun sequences and loads of witty one liners which keeps you rolling in laughter.

The animation with the 3D effects is just superb trust me the heavy 3D glasses can be a bit painful and maybe leave a mark on your nose for a short time but trust me all you will forget all the pain when you watch the brilliant 3D effects of this movie.

The story this time somewhere touches your right chords and has a feel good bit about it as well..

So what are you waiting for book the tickets and get going :)

Priceless(Hors De Prix) - The movie indeed is priceless :)

French movies have a certain aura about themselves a something special a something original and fresh to the core and this movie just proves it so right.

The story in short is about a gold digger who mistakenly woos a mild-mannered bartender thinking he's a wealthy suitor as simple and predictable it might sound with it twist,turns and pleasant surprises this movie sure is a romantic roller coaster ride and quite a playful one at that :)

Audrey Tautou as Irene the Gold digger moving from one elderly man to another is superb her dream of seducing one elderly man for marriage comes closer but for the uncontrollable one night stand she has with an younger man mars her marriage plans as well as haute fashion label dropping, living the high life in expensive hotel suites, for free.

An awesome movie not to be missed loved it :)

404 - Extremely interesting ..Fantastic Psychological Thriller..Worth A Watch...Recommended For Sure

Honestly this movie wasn't really there in my agenda to watch this weekend but the good review and an interesting ensemble cast that of Imaad Shah,Tisca Chopra and Nishikant Kamat somewhere told me this is one movie I should not miss at all and my intuition proved me so right I am glad :)
This one real interesting psychological thriller dealing with the paranormal activity and the games minds play to prove their respective theories right so yes it does have its share of thrills and chills but I would not categorize this under horror movies genre but psychological thriller yes and a really good and interesting one at that loved every bit of it.
Telling more about the story would be giving away the story therefore I would restrain myself on doing that.
Get ready to psych your mind!

Kashmakash (Naukadubi in Bengali)- Lyrical..Like a poetry flowing in its own pace with no hurry :)

This is one among the several movies I was waiting to watch for the following reasons:

1)Based on Rabindranath Tagore's short story'Naukadubi'

2) Rituparno Ghosh's direction

3)Both the sisters Riya and Raima in the same movie of course the latter being one of my favorite actress



Having mentioned the above reasons it was not easy to watch this movie as the shows were too late but thanks to a friend who wanted to watch this movie and my desire to watch this movie in the theater was fulfilled :)

The fact that the story belonged to Rabindranath Tagore had created enough interest for me for quite sometime to watch this movie directed by a director that of a caliber of Rituparno Ghosh took the interest to another higher level altogether and yes I was not disappointed a bit and having seen Rituparno's earlier movie I kind of knew the movie would be anything but far away from fast paced and flow like a beautiful lyrical poetry instead.

The story is set in year 1921 where the romantic realtionship between Kolkata-based law student Ramesh(Jishu Sengupta) and his friend's sister Hemnalini(Raima Sen) gets into troubled waters when Ramesh is ordered to visit his village by his father and thereafter to find out that his father has arranged his marriage to Susheela, the daughter of a poor and helpless widow. Ramesh becomes outrageous and refuses to accept the proposal outright and tells his father clearly that his heart already belongs to someone else and is on the verge of storming out… when the widow, stops him and pleads him,her pleas soften his heart and Ramesh agrees to wed Susheela, but of course with a heavy heart. The wedding ceremony takes place and Ramesh leaves his village in a boat alongside with his newly wed wife Susheela for Kolkata…

And then their ill fated boat gets capsized in the rough waters during a fierce storm....

Ramesh finds himself washed ashore with Susheela passed out by his side, when he wakes up. Ramesh gets her home and the duo attempt to set house with Ramesh's inhibitions becoming quite visible. But soon Ramesh realizes that the nubile nymphet he has brought home isn't Susheela… but Kamla(Riya Sen) who was supposed to be getting married to a Doctor from Varanasi (Kashi then) and Ramesh of course gets set to unite Kamla with her real husband and at the same time commits to marry the love of his life Hemnalini but truth does not remain hidden for a long time and the marital development of Ramesh comes out in the open much to everyone's dismal and Hemnalini becomes heartbroken completely and Ramesh to avoid any sort of scandal gets away to Gorakhpur with Kamla..

While they were settling in Gorakhpur and Hemnalini was coming in terms with her grief in Varanasi as everyone thinks and believes change of scenery might mend the heart but that is never the solution really ..

And then accidentally Kamla discovers the truth as she stumbles upon the newspaper advertisement which Ramesh has advertised. Unable to handle the fact that she's been living a marital lie, Kamla walks out of the house determined to drown herself in the river.

But all is well that end wells and I am not letting rest of the story out it would be unfair to this piece of art...

Performance wise I was very sure about good performances from rest of the cast except for Riya Sen but she really turned out to be the surprise package giving an equally great performance such as her talented sister.

If you are a cinema love I would go indulge yourself leisurely in this one of a kind cinema...

Ragini MMS - Scary to the core ..get ready for nightmare and some real good thrills and super haunting moments

I have this peculiar habit in me though I am dead scared of the paranormal world but nothing in the world can deter me from watching the most scariest movies of this genre you could call it thrills of my life I guess :)

So coming to the story of this movie initially the movie starts like a bit of B grade movie with filthy language and everything focused on sex but gradually as the movie proceeds the chills and thrills really overpowers the sex bit rather there is no scope of sex among the thrilling and chilling and haunting moments :)

After I came back that evening post watching this movie it took me sometime to come out of the fearsome atmosphere and the thought of it still gives me goosebumps.

But if you are a horror movie fan you just have to watch this one :)

Stanley Ka Dabba - Brilliant ... A Must Watch.. A Small Story With A Big Heart Indeed...Truly A Great Hindi Children Movie

I know its been more than a week that this movie had release but just had to write about this one as such brilliant movies are not made everyday and this one definitely is a rare gem for the Hindi movie industry in terms of a masterpiece of a story,direction,performances and a fantastic children movie which is a rare thing we come across in the production of Hindi movies.

This is one of those movies which will remain close to my heart always and will always make me life with a positive perspective always yes you could say this could be one of those life changing movies for many of us.

When we seat and make fun of others and forever crib for the smallest shortcoming of life this movie is like a wake up call and shows us about this ten year super intelligent boy who despite of the most difficult times in his life does not fail to smile or put a smile on others face as well and here sometimes I go about complaining for the smallest reasons non stop at times and was actually feeling quite ashamed.

We take the best gifts from God for granted and never really appreciate much what we are bestowed upon with but a movie such as this a big eye opener for quite a few of us ...

I would say this is a movie of a lifetime ..you would be doing yourself a favour by watching this one..

Don't miss it ...

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - Journey to the fountain of youth is loads of fun and Jack Sparrow You Rock :)

I had been waiting this one to release since the time I had heard about its making and had been counting days since then and yes the wait has been totally worth it:)

I would surely like to say this one surpasses its predecessor the 2007 release'Pirates Of The Caribbean:At World's End' in terms of the fun sequences as well as the actions sequences this one surely is much ahead of the rest of the series and the presence of Super Hot Penelope Cruz did not make me miss Kiera Knightly even a bit Penelope Cruz is way too overpowering and way too natural as well just love her spunk:)

And yes Jack Sparrow aka Johny Depp is super just cannot imagine the POTC series minus him ever :)

Coming to the storyline this one is about the journey to find the elusive fountain of embarked by Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp)and Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and Blackbeard and his daughter(Penelope Cruz) too and the journey is full of adventure and loads of fun and yes we have mermaids too this time around :)

Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa was spectacular as always loved h

There's a real witty one liner which Johnny Depp says during one of his conversation with Penelope Cruz and that was 'If you had a sister and if I had to chose between your sister and a snake I would chose the snake' :))

So get yourself ready to watch

Arthur - Good movie...not great but watchable for sure....

Apparently this one is a remake of 1981 movie of the same name but me not having seen that went with no expectation and actually quite enjoyed this one.

Russel Brand is not my favorite actor and never will be but in this movie as an extravagant,disoriented and a total spoilt rich brat gets into the skin of his role quite well and looks wasted throughout the movie :)

The funniest bit was a 30 plus guy having a Nanny to look after him one myth proved right men never grow up ;)

This movie is quite funny and real good one liners coming from Russel Brand and Helen Mirren as her Nanny is the most likable character in this movie.

Watch this one for some light moments and good laughs and the beautiful New York City :)

Steel Magnolias - Entertaining Slice Of Life...Beautiful

This movie is apparently based on a true life incident which is a bit tragic but there are too many positive aspects of this movie which kind of takes your mind away from the tragedy like in life in life we always find reasons to be happy when life's worst challenges this movie depicts the same beautifully.

The ensemble cast boasts of the most likable actresses of all times with the likes of Julia Roberts,Sally Field,Shirley Maclaine makes this movie with a great storyline all the more charming and entertaining and quite engaging right from beginning till the curtain falls down.

I liked the movie immensely..and would recommend you to watch for sure..

Fast Five - This is first one I saw of these series but somewhere I think this was the best ..Simply Superb....WOW

I have not the earlier series but somehow was eager to watch this one maybe the Rio heist bit interested me more as Brazil is one of the places in my wish list to visit in this lifetime.

So I actually went with not much expectation of course except to see some wow cars and some great cinematography as the movie was shot in Rio De Janeiro and Puerto Rico both locales equally beautiful.

And the completely sprung a pleasant surprise not only being cinematographic but also has a real smart and intelligent storyline with its heart at the right place so its just not the beautiful machines and sexy babes but also a good story to follow.

Not a single moment of boredom fast paced yet intelligent and beautifully shot extremely pleasing to the eyes as well.

The action is what you call jaw dropping and eye popping loved every bit of it and honestly I am not an action and coming to think of it this movie wasn't really in my list of movies to watch this weekend but I am really glad I added it :)

Loved everyone's performance they fitted their role to the hilt and did full justice to it .

Awesome I totally recommend this one and actually still reeling under its effect.Worth it completely :)

Water For Elephants - Brilliant...Spectacular...Great Story...Awesome Performances..Magical....A Must Watch

Having not the read the the novel made me watch the movie without any preconceived notions and did I enjoy and savor every moment of it yes I did and still reeling under a beautiful feeling to say the least :)

This movie takes you back to the era of 1930s and makes such a memorable and amazingly beautiful journey of it makes every bit of the journey totally etched in our memories so easily and effortlessly.

I am not giving out the story though I am sure a lot of you have read the book but trust me the movie won't disappoint you in terms of story and performances and I am quite sure about that.

Apart from a great story and great screenplay the setup and the costumes of this movie is exquisite and deserves a special mention as it takes you back to that era and you can get completely immersed in it and I am sure everyone would find that very appealing.

The movie is a wonderful mixture of romance, passion, action, tragedy, joy and yes everything you can imagine and you would want to watch keeping the 1930 era in mind of course :)

Please do yourself a favor and watch this movie and I know and I am confident none of you will curse me :)

Performance wise definitely Christoph Waltz is brilliant and deserves an Oscar nomination..Reese Witherspoon is fantastic and yes Robert Pattinson is good too.
