Fast & Furious 6 - Thrilling to the core totally worth a watch in the big screen :)

Now this is what you call an an action packed thriller not a moment of boredom and with some good humor thrown in. Director Justin Lin has only made it better from the last one of this series both in terms of the thrilling moments and some awesome stunts. Though all the guys are complete dudes and fun to watch , my favorite is one that of Paul Walker The chase sequences are completely wow jaw dropping is the right word If thriller,action and dudes are what you are looking for then definitely don't miss this one. Recommended and yes I can vouch this is the best release this weekend Can't wait for Fast & Furious 7 and that one has Jason Statham too.

Aurangzeb - Gripping Tale

The famous dictum 'Kingship sees no Kinship' holds completely true for this well made thriller and some brilliant performances this movie is completely worth a watch. If I have to rate the performances undoubtedly the best were Prithvi ( love this guy he was the sole reason I watched 'Aiyyaa' ),Rishi Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor . Deepti Naval,Amrita Singh , Tanvi Azmi,Swara Bhaskar(this girl has got immense potential given the right opportunity she was the best part about the movie 'Tanu Weds Manu') were quite good in their small but important roles. It was good to see Jackie Shroff act in a decent movie after a long time.. Salma Agha's daughter Sasha Agha is as lifeless as her mother used to be Kiron Kher's son Sikander Kher too was no great shakes. Overall a well made movie worth a watch.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist - Good cinema worth a watch

Based on the novel by Mohsin Ahmed this one is much deeper than just another 9/11 story ,I have not read the book but can vouch for this movie being quite good for sure. If only all of us a were a bit more tolerant, a non racist this world would have been a much better place for sure but we are not so the world will remain to be in a mess unfortunately and all the more as it is run by us the so called humans. I was constantly thinking what would I do if was in the place of the character-Changez.. The scene where he(Changez- Riz Ahmed ) breaks down in his apartment due loss of job and his love is among one of the best. Riz Ahmed as the main lead has done a fantastic job I last saw him in a movie called 'Trishna' and he was just about ok in that but in this one he is outstanding. Rest of the cast were great too be it Om Puri,Shabana Azmi,Kate Hudson,Liev Schreiber,Kiefer Sutherland. I have always liked Mira Nair's be it 'The Namesake','Monsoon Wedding','Salaam Bombay' so was looking forward to this one and not a tad bit disappointed rather liked it very much. When I was booking the movie tickets for this weekend and happen to book this one for the last I did wonder will I be ending this weekend with a sad one but no I was wrong this one was the best and ended with a ray of hope as well Recommended for sure ..don't miss a good cinema .

Epic - Kids will love it :)

This one is a sweet movie emphasizing the win of good over evil with some great voice overs. The animation was great but something which we have seen earlier no new stuff here. Overall a good movie for kids and the release time being the summer vacation is just apt :)

The Great Gatsby - Worth A Watch

Having seen Baz Luhrmann earlier movies(Australia,Moulin Rouge) I somehow felt this one is the best both in terms of story and performances and of course the glamor quotient and music bit wise as well. Jay Gatsby's enigmatic character is extremely well played by Leonardo DiCaprio he is just superb. Tobey Maguire was good too another performance to watch out too in this movie. Isla Fisher and Carey Mulligan were ok. The movie is beautiful visually must say very colorful. Not sure if the music was so feet tapping in the 1920's but then I guess Mr.Luhrmann is entitled to some cinematic liberties :) Overall a good story with some great performances. Sometimes a woman can be cause of all the miseries in life :))

Gippi - Fun,Entertaining,Heartwarming :)

A real sweet feel good movie it may not win any critic's award but bound to make you smile for sure :) This is a story of teenage girl Gurpreet aka Gippi and the feeling of insecurity, anxiety, edginess that one experiences during those years is very well captured in this film be it her character or the other kids in this movie. Loved each time Shammi Kapoor's songs popped up :) Riya Vij has done a good job so has the other characters but the best performance surely goes to Divya Dutta. A movie well made by new Director Sonam Nair - funny,heartwarming,entertaining :) I know all the Star Trek fans are going to kill me or call me mad and jhalli after what I am going to say now -'Gippi was undoubtedly the best watch this weekend :):)' Recommended recommended recommended :) What to do I am like this only ;)

Safe Haven - Beautiful Romantic Movie

This one is a real nice movie yes its mushy and all that with a beautiful story with some thrilling moments and the presence of Josh Duhamel only helped further :) The climax of this movie is a pleasant surprise totally unexpected, loved every bit of this movie just what should be ordered for a Monday evening and trust me the rest of the week is bound to be good :) And yes I am sucker of feel good movies be it romantic or drama, the fact that the movie spreads positive energy that is good enough and totally worth the time invested :)

Bombay Talkies - Four real good stories with great performances.

Karan Johar's story was something you would never expect from him keeping his previous track record of movies in mind. Rani Mukherjee was fabulous so was Ranndeep Hooda and the new kid Saqib Salim was a pleasant surprise. Dibakar Banerjee's story was good but it gets a monotonous the saving grace was of course Nawazuddin Siddique's fantastic performance. Zoya Akhtar's story was the sweetest one. Loved the child artiste his expressions were so so adorable. Anurag Kashyap's story reminded of a DD telefilm I had seen during my school days, the idol worship madness captured very well. This set of four stories is sheer good cinema capturing the essence of all the emotions we experience quite well. Loved the last song when all the big names of Bollywood came together and also the bit where they show clippings of Hindi movies right from its inception till date. This one is no commercial mish mash but good cinema and worth a watch for sure :)

Maach Mishti & More - A feel good movie :)

This was one enjoyable Bengali movie depicting today's Kolkata,the madness, the sweetness and the bitter bit of it ,thank God the bitter bit was less in proportion :) This one is an out and out feel good timepass movie yet not falling into the category of masala commercial movie but a movie which makes you smile more often and situations which are pretty real :) Thinking movies are good yes but give me a feel good movie any day :) Why remain sad when there is always an opportunity just around the corner to be happy :) You get this one with English subtitles go for it don't let language be a barrier :) Recommended for sure :) And Parambrata Chatterjee is really cool :)
