2 States - Two worlds, two cultures, two families, one love story..a must watch :)

2 States - Two worlds, two cultures, two families, one love story....this movie re-defines and rejuvenates the love marriage space and makes it a complete fun ride for those 2 hr 29 mts ..no regrets only joy Simple yet striking and somewhere left me thinking what happens to the adorable couple post marriage so all in all a well made movie which is totally worth your money and the cinematic liberties taken are completely tolerable and quite fun at that 2 STATES is based on Chetan Bhagat's bestseller '2 States: The Story Of My Marriage', like the the book 2 States was fun and time pass read if I may say so the movie too falls under the same category and does not fail one bit to keep you entertained Its sheer delight to see all the characters of this movie, so real that they need not shout to be heard but well immersed in their world to be accepted as they are. Director Abhishek Varman remains as faithful as possible to this bestseller from Chetan Bhagat , adapting it delightfully on the big screen. Loved the way the diverse cultures, the discomfort and the pressures when people talk of inter-caste liaison, the neverending love and the resolve to win the parents' trust... each and every aspect -- the emotions included -- are captured to the perfection by the storyteller. Abhishek also somewhere pushes us into the mindset of the two families, highlighting the doubts and fear that arises in such a scenario, yet he makes sure he doesn't belittle or demean any community in the process and kudos to him for that. India is a diverse country each region with its own values and ways of life ,yes its not easy to accept that peacefully but sometimes love and adjustment conquers it all Alia Bhatt is superb another fantastic performance post 'Highway',her eyes and expressions do the talking and so beautifully at that. Arjun Kapoor steals the show for sure with an effortless, charming and convincing portrayal of 'Krish Malhotra'..I always thought he was a good actor from day 1 but this was his best undoubtedly till date. The supporting cast was as good as the main leads. Ronit Roy sparkles in the role of the restrained father, the scenes between him and Arjun Kapoor are some of the high points of this movie. Revathy is excellent so so loved her performance and so was Amrita Singh. Shiv Subramanyam enacting the role of Alia Bhatt's character's father just hits the right chord and very very likeable. Liked the presence of Achint Kaur brief yet vital. 2 STATES is surely a fun movie and I strongly recommend the same. After 'Queen' this is another good release of 2014 from Bollywood. Undoubtedly the best release this weekend Don't miss a good wholesome entertaining movie specially coming from Bollywood as its a rare thing to happen these days so lap it up when you get an opportunity. Recommended I say :)

Main Tera Hero - Highly Avoidable

Some trailers just give it all and this one definitely gave me the signal not to ever ever step into the theater and waste precious time and hard earned money on this one and I am glad I listened to my inner voice :) Even pathetic is an understatement for this super loser movie :) Varun Dhawan has tried his level best to ape Govinda and has failed miserably the only respite is he definitely looks better than the former but acting skills highly questionable.Guys like him and Jacky Jackky Bhagnani are surviving in the film industry we all know why Ileana Dcruz can't believe she was the same one in Barfi and she looks dead throughout the movie.. Nargis Fakhri wonder what compelled her to do this movie - some new high end designer shoes,bag and clothes ;) The otherwise not bad Arunoday Singh comes across like a complete retard throughout the movie :) Not sure either what made Anupam Kher,Saurah Shukla to take up this one David Dhawan at his worst Anyways don't bother highly avoidable and if u must free download is the answer :)

Rio 2 - A riot of colors and extremely fun one at that :)

After a crazy day of argument with bunch of fanatics a good movie was surely the order of the day and I glad I decided to attend the paid preview of this lovely movie :) The screen was mesmerized with a riot of colors and the one which stood out was Blue and loads of it and no I am not complaining as I totally totally loved it :) Blu,Jewel,Gabi,Jewel loved them all BTW these are the names of the endearing characters. The sequel to 2011 released Rio is as good or better and only makes you to ask for more, I wouldn't mind a part 3 of this one :) Loved seeing bright and beautiful Rio de Janeiro and the amazing Amazon..the quality of animation at its best..you just can't take your eyes off even for a second. I would label this one as the best animated movie of 2014 and highly recommend it for all ages. Don't miss it you will miss a good one :)

Noah - Fell short of expectations

Having read about this since the schooling days,went to watch a visual splendor but was mighty disappointed in that aspect. The movie instead of focusing on the visuals has focused more on conversations like a text book. When the pick up a subject as Noah for a movie I think they should focus more on the visuals and all the more since they made it in 3D. So you put on the irritating 3D glasses for a good 138 minutes only to hear non stop conversations which otherwise we have read it in a book. I was disappointed to the core ..and yes neither Jennifer Connely or Russell Crowe's best movie for sure.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

If you like super hero movies then this is the one for you ..its one fast paced movie with awesome action scenes and brilliant visuals. The movie is an awesome work of fiction which will take you away from reality to the world of superheroes where the good always wins over the evil. The gadgets shown in the movie are something to look out for but then its Hollywood and they have the knack of showing the best of gadgets when it comes to these kind of movies be it superhero or science fiction or fantasy. Chris Evans looks so good always liked him..even in 2007 release 'The Nanny Diaries' I thought he was really cute. Scarlett Johansson is as good as always..its a pleasure watching her on the screen. BTW loved the shield of Captain America's ..wish I had one such shield with all its powers :) Overall I thought the movie was rocking and would surely recommend this one to everyone who loves superhero movies.
