Hawaa Hawaaii - Gem of a movie :)

One gem of a movie which is not to be missed , rarely comes a Hindi movie which is so well made and catering to the children's group. A movie which is bound to touch your heart. A movie about ordinary people whom we interact in our daily lives but never really think about them. A beautiful story of willpower and determination and never give up attitude just being yourself and feeling great about it . Loved the movie and felt so good that directors like Amol Gupte are part of the Indian Film Industry. Its about the triumph of the human spirit in the wake of adversities. It makes you realize that those who dream have the power to move mountains. Yes it has its share of cinematic liberties but something you wouldn't mind at all. The story of Arjun Harishchandra Waghmare aka Raju [Partho Gupte] is bound to motivate you and will leave you pondering you about things which you otherwise probably won't think. The movie belongs to Partho Gupte, who astounds you [yet again - remember him in 2011 release 'Stanley Ka Dabba'] with a smashing performance. He's the soul of the film, no two opinions on that. Saqib Saleem shines in the movie as well specially post interval. There has to be a special mention of the four kids who help Partho attain his dream -- Bhura [portrayed by Salman Chhote Khan], Gochi [Ashfaque Khan], Abdul [Maaman Memon] and Bindaas Murugan [Tirupathi Krishnapelli]. Each of them get their act spot on. Anuj Sachdeva [as Saqib's brother] is first-rate and he is soooo goodlooking just couldn't take my eyes from him. Neha Joshi [as Partho's mother] is a talent to watch out for. She is superb. Makarand Deshpande, Divya Jagdale, Sanjay Dadich and Razzak Khan leave a mark in their respective roles. Please please do not miss this gem of a movie ..you will really miss a good hindi movie which is a rare commodity these days. Take your kids along they will come out learning something good in life and so will you Recommended :)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Entertaining..worth the money

Spider - Man always brings back good old memories of school days when sunday 5 pm was blocked for it post finishing home work etc.. :) Larger than life of course ,entertaining of course of to the hilt with decent amount of emotion thrown in :) And yes the sequel to the 2012 release is definitely better than its predecessor. The special effects are indeed amazing hence goes with the title of the movie really well, it definitely transports you into another make believe world altogether and beckons you to stay there and you wouldn't mind that :) Somehow I find Andrew Garfield as the Spidey really cool , there is something extremely cute about him specially the unabashed boyish charm and he did quite a good job must admit. Emma Stone as Spidey's strong girlfriend/pillar of strength is superb. Unfortunately Dane DeHaan is not half menacing as Harry Osborn unlike his super awesome predecessor doing the same role in earlier Spiderman series. It was good to see Jamie Foxx in a completely different Avatar.. Sally Field as Aunt May is superb I guess Sally is an actress who will never disappoint you whichever role she chooses to do :) Overall I enjoyed the movie thoroughly and watching this kinda movie with my good friends just added little more joy to it :) Undoubtedly the best release this weekend..don't miss it Recommended for all age groups :)
