Manhattan - Woody Allen's Masterpiece

Manhattan- The movie is humorous to the core.The best movie i have seen so far from Woody Allen and New York City in Black and white looks just out of the world,the spectacular views of the towers, bridges and waterways of this finest metropolis is really wow.Apart from being a good movie with a fantastic storyline this will remain a homage to the Great New York City.Diane Keaton is fabulous so is Woody Allen.New York is one place I will visit for sure and if possible move there for good my favorite city in the world I must confess.Watch it you won't complain :)

Black Swan - A Complete Masterpiece

Black Swan - This one is a complete masterpiece which is both beautiful and nightmarish at the same time.It emphasizes how aiming for perfection can bring out both the worst and the best in a person and the person himself/herself becomes his/her own best friend and best enemy at the same time.The film's slow points are never dragged out, merely well padded out for the shift from Nina(Natalie Portman) being innocent to adrenaline soaked horror as she descends into the realm of darkness is a complete treat to watch and without a speck of doubt this is Natalie Portman's best performance she is already nominated for Golden Globe for this one won't be surprised if she is nominated at Oscars for the same as well.Despite only appearing for a few minutes, Winona Ryder is amazing in her role wish she had more scenes though.I liked Mila Kunis's performance as well.Yes its a bit disturbing at times but as I told you its both beautiful and nightmarish and isn't that how our lives are..Don't miss this one

No One Killed Jessica - A Gutsy Film which deserves a standing ovation

No One Killed Jessica - A movie maker's responsibility is to entertain and enlighten and Raj Kumar Gupta does a 100% job of this with his second directorial venture -NOKJ after his superb 'Aamir'.If 2010 ended with an awful Hindi movie called 'Tees Maar Khan' let me tell you 2011 has started with a real good Hindi movie on a positive note with a mind blowing movie as this one.We all know what happened to Jessica Lal in 1999 -she lost her life just because she refused to give a drink after the bar was shut and the 300 high profile witnesses just could not muster enough courage to stand up for the truth and that is really shocking.Hats off to NDTV to start a campaign to reopen the case and get the guilty punished and people like Shayan Munshi who were the main witness and who backed out should be punished he is a flop actor and always will remain so it was completely disgusting the way he backed being the main witness.Is one bloody fucking drink more expensive than human's life the answer is seriously no.

Coming back to the movie the director has done complete justice to the spirit of the story which will always remain well etched in our minds in the time to come and though this is based on real incident the director has definitely made an excellent thriller of it instead of going the documentary-drama way.The events have been chronologically put forth and the daring story of two women who challenged the system hits you like a ton of bricks. The film truly celebrates the human spirit and also reflects a vital change in the society and in the attitudes of people, loved the whole bit of nation coming together for Justice be it lighting a candle at the India Gate or be the million smses sent to NDTV it truly became one nation that time.It takes war,cricket and an incident like this for us to emerge as one nation.This is a gutsy movie for sure and deserves a standing ovation.Both Rani and Vidya has author backed roles and has given absolutely high voltage powerhouse performances full marks to them for that and after this Rani we don't want to see you in anymore of Dil Bole Hadippa kind of movies.Kudos to the whole starcast of this everyone has done a Brilliant job they have completely sunk into the character and the number 'Dilli Dilli' completely rocks.

Final word - What are you waiting for go and grab a ticket of this movie ASAP you will regret if you miss out on this one..this gems don't release often these days

Women Power Rocks :)

Aakrosh

Yes i am back to blogging after a long time and a fantastic movie like Aakrosh has compelled me to blog and not remain with few words in my facebook status update.

Now coming back to this powerful movie.

Shameful as it may sound, honour killings still exist in many parts of our country. The misconception is honour killings are all about the murder of a female/male family member by one or more family members, since the perpetrators / wrongdoers believe that the victim has brought dishonor / disrepute upon the family by having a relationship with a man of different religion or social status or marrying against the parents' wishes and this movie highlights that.

The whole thought repulses me and makes me feel extremely helpless that I can never ever be a standalone individual contributor and bring an end to this age old crap.There are parts of our country and I am referring to each and every state of this country where caste discrimination still exists in a big way and even among the so called Harvard/IIM graduates.Its easy to sit in a ac room and rattle off strategies and lecture how we should become patriotic and its a different ballgame all together to practically implement it ,some of them definitely do not have the courage but they are great orators and excellent in giving lectures to others.

I know of people who are so judgmental about which cars people own and think no lesser than some sort of celebrity about themselves but I am sure these are the same people who will hear about this incidents everyday and pretend they are superior and don't belong to that downtrodden world....nothing matters to them except for their some damn BMWs,Audis of the world sad but true...

But yes having said the above there are some people whose efforts are worth giving a standing ovation wish I could all support and contribute in some way to eradicate the shameful honor killings and many such shameful incidents.


Made with right intentions, AAKROSH enlightens you on the caste system which continues to be at its rigid best, with people from the rural areas I would say from cities as well refusing to change their attitude towards marriage.

This movie reminded me of Missisipi Burning which was based on the FBI investigation into the real-life murders of three civil rights workers in Mississippi in 1964.

Yes this movie is not your timepass crap Dabaang but a serious,brilliant cinema not to be missed.

Performance wise both Ajay Devgan and Akshay Khanna is absolutely marvelous so is Bipasha Basu in her simple yet brilliant role I liked the role played by Reema Sen,Paresh Rawal is menacing as the uncouth cop - you will just love to hate him..

I am glad Priyadarshan has come up with this brilliant movie after some of his forgettable laughathons.

The one and only drawback is the awful item number by Sameera Reddy.

Don't miss this one

My Bharat will become mahaan and India will truly become incredible when eradicate the caste system in the true sense...
