If I Stay - Beautiful Story

Based on the novel by same name from Gayle Forman, the movie beautifully depicts the message 'Life happens while we are all busy making our plans and how. Wish one could take the life or death decision the way its shown in the movie , life would have been far more painful for sure. Every choice in life comes with its share of consequences and enjoying every bit of it is the best way to enjoy the journey of life :) This movie has a little bit of everything,it makes you smile, it has great music, a strong story, great acting and lot of emotions. Chloe Grace Moretz is a budding actress, someone to watch out for. One sweet movie and glad I ended this weekend on this sweet a note :)

Finding Fanny - Fun movie ...totally worth it

Quirky yes mad yes but total fun movie enjoyed the ride completely , sorry to sound like a complete sadist but i thought the death scenes were the funniest :) am still thinking about them and laughing :) Homi Adjania well done who wants to see a run of the mill Hindi movie week after week,its great to see off beat entertaining movies coming from Bollywood. The movie had all the factors which are closest to my heart like Goa(my favorite place in the world , can go there every year and never ever get bored of it :) ),an interesting road trip, a fun story which does not follow the beaten track and gives you many reasons to laugh and smile :) Great job of casting to get a bunch of fabulous actors and everyone pitching in their best ..sheer brilliance. Deepika Padukone - She is the best we have in the new generation of actresses in Bollywood ..sans glamour she still looks drop dead gorgeous and a complete natural when it comes to performance Naseeruddin Shah - Even the best of positive adjectives runs short for him...Bollywood is blessed to have him really.. Pankaj Kapur - Brilliant actor ..sad Bollywood does not utilize this awesome actor.... Dimple Kapadia - No other actress could have done a better job of Rosie Eucharistica..simply superb I thought even the actor Anand Tiwari was real cute as Father Francis :) I so badly want to go Goa right now :) I am not letting the story out lest I get the cat out of the bag and spoil the magic :) Its a journey of life which is meant to be enjoyed with its share of ups and downs :) Of course recommended :) The best release this weekend :) I am planning to watch the English version as well and take this fun ride again :)

Daawat-e-Ishq - Delicious :)

As much as dishy and romantic comedy type it sounds the movie actually has a socially relevant message of extreme importance to the Indian Society, the social evil called dowry which not only results dowry deaths but also death of many girl children during their birth itself. The movie tackling this heavy a subject is still on the lighter note and leaves a smile behind The world of Gulrez Gullu Qadir (Parineeti Chopra) and Taariq Haider (Aditya Roy Kapur) was fun to watch and yes Anupam Kher yet again delivers a great performance. And the display of awesome food can actually get you hungry Aditya Roy Kapur is superb but this movie primarily belongs to the natural effortless performer Parineeti Chopra I quite enjoyed it and lovely company of my good friends made it all the more fun :)

A Walk Among the Tombstones - One Captivating Thriller

Based on the novel by Lawrence Block this is one superb mystery. Liam Neeson has become an expert in doing these kind of roles like but no complain ,quite like him this way or anyway for that matter :) The movie is not over the top,and the bleak, somber, usually rainy setting establishes the tone that fits with the essence of the movie very well. Parts of the movie was a bit too gore for my taste but that I guess was the essential part of the story. If mystery thrillers are your favorite genre then definitely watch it :)

Dolphin Tale 2 - Superb one...loved it

Awesome movie to end the weekend with, the fantastic work done by Clearwater Marine Aquarium is showcased in the best possible way..loved it. Clearwater Marine Aquarium(CMA) is fundamentally a hospital for sick and injured marine life based in Tampa, Florida,USA, they rescue, rehabilitate, and release ALL animals that they can back to where they actually belong. They (CMA)educate young people on the preservation and conservation of animals and environment. Yes I was extremely impressed by the work they do as I have witnessed something like this in Sea Life Sydney Aquarium few years back, they really take care of the sea animals and how Coming back to the movie , the true story of Dolphin - Winter is indeed inspiring,loved the display the emotions in a beautiful subtle way .. I am sure animals have emotions and are far more genuine than us fake, insecure,jealous human beings. Directed by Charles Martin Smith and sequel to his 2011 film Dolphin Tale this movie is bound to leave you with loads of hope,faith and love and all good ingredients of life , a real good heartwarming movie. Loved the performances by all the actors - Morgan Freeman,Ashley Judd,Nathan Gamble,Harry Connick Junior,Cozi Zuehlsdorff, Recommended for sure :)

Kick - Awful

Na dil mein aya na dimaag mein but then that's a Salman Khan movie for you :) I am still wondering how Sallu transformed from a thief to a police inspector within a day :) Jacqueline Fernandez one word pathetic :) Please spare the audience :) Only Salman Khan can carry all this nonsense with such Elan :) The one guy whom i really liked in the movie was Randeep Hooda :) Rest of them are not worth mentioning not even Nawazuddin Siddiqui :) Must admit one thing the movie was shot well and some action sequences. The music is awful , wouldn't want to hear it ever again. I don't think there was ever a script for this movie :) Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala decided they want to holiday in Poland so lets just something together and in anyways it will be a hit :) My friend's sweet mother in law so adorably said post watching the movie ' at least 50 lakh ke gadiyon ka udaya aur kitne bhayankar stunts the' that was something dil aur dimaag dono mein chaya :) Having said all the above must say this was much better than Dhoom 3 ,there were some scenes you would laugh specially if you are watching with your friends :) It will take a long time now to see another mindless movie :) Eid Mubarak :) Eidi in terms of 100 crores from Box Office to Salman leke jayega and hum sab usmein contribute karenge ;) One of my friend very correctly said ' People who didn't like the movie are Human Beings & those who liked it are Being Humans :)

Hercules - Interesting take on Hercules

Entertaining action packed drama with some decent acting so no complains and to make things better the length of the movie is short as well :) If action is your genre don't miss this one and yes Dwayne The Rock Johnson totally rocks this one :)

Lucy - Superb Thriller

90 minutes so well invested in a brilliant movie. Science fiction has never been my favorite movie genre but this one blew my mind away,loved it ..splendid I tell you. Scarlett Johanson's one of her best movie till date for sure and I can confidently say she does full justice to the title of the movie as the movie belongs to her. Morgan Freeman excelled in the brief role he had. Korean actor Min-sik Choi did a great job as the super mean guy. Another actor to watch out for would be Amr Waked Excellent movie from director Luc Besson Recommended for sure

The Hundred-Foot Journey - A beautiful culinary journey :)

This movie should be a must watch in everybody's list given the feel good factors. Loved the movie a superb way to start the week I say :) Om Puri is superb but the actress that stood was Helen Mirren she is just brilliant. Thought Manish Dayal was cute so was Charlotte Le Bon(has a striking resemblance to Winona Ryder ) and they made a real sweet pair. The rest of the cast was great too, each one of them played their role to the perfection. If the Kadam family rocked so did Madame Mallory. Loved the display of food, the ingredients, the colors, the beautiful French town, Director Lasse Hallström got it just right. Sometimes the simplest things in life can give you the biggest of joys :) Recommended..the best release this week for sure :)

Guardians of the Galaxy - Good Fun movie with great special effects :)

All I was expecting was some brilliant special effects but the decent storyline and good performances took me by surprise so overall exceeded my expectations. This is one of the most offbeat superhero movie I have seen, enjoyed it thoroughly. Fun movie ..recommended :)

Singham Returns - Entertaining

For days follow a healthy diet full of all the right nutrients which is nourishment for body and mind ,and one day you cheat on the diet and cheat really well which will actually allover refresh your mind,body and soul :) Enjoyed the movie to the hilt, truly deserves to be in the 100 crore plus club and above. Rohit Shetty surely knows how to entertain, this one is much better than Chennai Express and his Golmaal Series. Ajay Devgan is the Singham and boy does he return, he is a good actor and does his job very well. Kareena Kapoor's presence or no presence didn't matter much :) Loved the rest of the cast , everyone did a good job. Loved the action scenes,kuch logon ko sach mein aise patakh patakh ke marna chahiye :) Paisa vasool bole to khaali samay ka sahi upyog :) Enjoyed the seethiyan marnewale dialogues :) Recommended for sure :)

Mardaani - A must watch..loved it

When I heard the name of the movie and saw the trailer the first thing that flashed in my mind were the following lines of a Hindi poem by Subhadra Kumari Chauhan which I studied in my 5th Standard(CBSE): सिंहासन हिल उठे राजवंशों ने भृकुटी तानी थी, बूढ़े भारत में आई फिर से नयी जवानी थी, गुमी हुई आज़ादी की कीमत सबने पहचानी थी, दूर फिरंगी को करने की सबने मन में ठानी थी। चमक उठी सन सत्तावन में, वह तलवार पुरानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।। For people who don't understand Hindi here is the English translation of the above lines: The throne got shook, and the tension erupted among the Raajvanshs, the royal heirs of the throne, In aged India, a new wave of youth was spreading, All the inhabitants of India had realized the worth of their lost freedom, All of them had decided to get rid of the Foreign rule, The old swords started glittering again like new ones in the form of the freedom movement in 1857. From the mouths of the Bandelas and the Harbolas (Religious singers of Bandelkhand), we heard the tale of the courage of the Queen of Jhansi relating how gallantly she fought like a man against the British intruders: such was the Queen of Jhansi. And the lines so aptly applies to the current condition of women of this country ..yes all of us need to keep the 'Jhansi Ki Raani' spirit intact among us. Director Pradeep Sarkar who earlier gave us the classic Parineeta and Lafange Parindey has taken a diversion from the glam and glitz of Bollywood to a dark reality of human trafficking. Even with the share of its cinematic liberties the movie keeps you on the edge from the beginning to the end and for once never fails to grab your attention. There are moments that might make your eyes moist and loads to ponder about and loads of moments for a thundering applause for the awesome performance by the Brilliant actress Rani Mukherjee. Rani Mukherjee as the tough talking cop is sheer brilliance to watch , please can we not have lines such as following from the awful set of Indian audience for this superb actress: Ye to ab buddhi ho gayi ise movie mein acting band kar dena chahiye ..sick people Rani Mukherji gave the character the much-needed intensity, strength and dignity Tahir Raj Bhasin who plays the role of the main villain leaves a very impressive mark. Jisshu Sengupta even with his limited given scope does a decent job of a great supportive husband. The movie is quite powerful and quite relevant to the given situation of our country. So while all of us are having fun dressing up, posing for selfies,having a ball basically let's never ever let the 'Jhansi Ki Rani' spirit die among us. Morale of the story - Never think twice to beat up an awful man actually beat him up black and blue and break his bones and then also if he still misbehaves you know exactly which part of his body needs to be cut into pieces and burnt for good :) Have A Blessed Week Ahead And Lets Get Together To Make Our Country -'No Country For Awful Sick Men' :) Recommended..Don't Miss it :)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Enjoyable

If you have grown up reading about these characters then surely you would find this one interesting and quite a fun movie to watch actually. Enjoyable and interesting

Buno Haansh (English: Wild Goose) - - Great Thriller

Glad I decided to watch this movie. This thriller based on the novel by Samaresh Majumdar of the same name,comes from director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury who has given us some thought provoking good Bengali movies with great stories :Aparajita TUMI - 2012 release Antaheen - 2009 release Anuranan - 2006 release Great story with great performances from Dev, Srabanti Chatterjee , Tanusree Chakraborty , Sudipta Chakraborty ,Sohag Sen. The situation one falls into and the traps life sets , this is one tale to watch out for. The good thing about Bengali movies releasing in Bangalore it comes with English subtitles :) Recommended :)

Life Of Crime - A must watch for the fans of Jennifer Anistom

Based on 'The Switch', a novel by the late Elmore Leonard this crime comedy will keep your interest alive in those 98 minutes. Its not extra ordinary but an entertaining one for sure. Jennifer Aniston was real good and the backbone of this movie. The end is bound to shock you and leaves a smile behind. The best movie for this weekend is going to be undoubtedly 'Mary Kom' but if you are a Jennifer Aniston fan then you must watch this one. Recommended.

Mary Kom - A Must Watch

After weeks and weeks of pathetic Hindi movies here comes a Hindi movie which reaffirms one's faith in the few good filmmakers left in Bollywood and if it comes from a first time director all the more good. The movie is based on life of Mangte Chungneijang Mary Kom also known as MC Mary Kom, Magnificent Mary or simply Mary Kom and someone I am sure will get the Gold medal in next Olympics. Films on sports personalities in Bollywood are between far and few with CHAK DE INDIA and more recently BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG winning the audience's heart and now Mary Kom. Chak De India will remain my favorite and the next would be Mary Kom for sure. The story of Mary Kom is bound to inspire you and suddenly you will have a very different perspective of the shortcomings of life. Despite of all the hardships present in her life nothing could stop Mary Kom in putting our country on the international map with her achievements. A fighter never gives up and thats the spirit of Mary Kom which is portrayed close to perfection by Priyanka Chopra. and we cannot see her in Zanjeer remake kind of movies anymore Priyanka Chopra steals the show. She does total justice to this author backed role full marks to her for that Every Girl should get a husband like K Onler Kom , the husband's role played by Darshan Kumar is simply superb,he holds his ground firm, despite Priyanka's towering performance..sad Bollywood does not give such good actors enough opportunities, sincerely hope to see more of him. Sunil Thapa as the coach is outstanding, loved the way he portrays his emotional, professional and rational sides with equal ease, this is what the best coaches are made of I guess The rest of the cast is excellent and really hope to seem them more. Between Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Mary Kom I would most definitely give Mary Kom more marks for sticking to the original incidents as much as possible. And the beautiful Manipur is very much part of our country and we should remain proud of it always I have met some of the nicest and most hardworking people specially women in my life from here Dinah Aliishi Ngade Achui Muivah Mia Awungshi Biak Lun love you all Standing up for our National Anthem did give the goosebumps Liked the background score very much composed by Rohit Kulkarni Of course recommended ..not to be missed ..go for it The best release this weekend for sure :)
