Highway - Superb one not to be missed ..

Highway - What a relief to see a non crappy Bollywood masala movie but of course when one is used to garbage the good stuff will take time to have the right effect. The movie dealt with a subject which most of the Indian families have the habit of hiding it under the carpet and that is of child abuse. I have heard of many such experiences where families have hidden such reprimanded the girl/boy and have supported that awful uncle/aunty/nephew/niece. I know of a friend who had to face the wrath of her relatives when she protested her younger cousin brother's advances and her whole set of family started only picking on her and finding her faults. In life it takes a lot of time to forgive and heal oneself but surely its difficult to forget..well life can be brutal at times. Both Alia Bhatt and Ranndeep Hooda have done a brilliant job, heartwarming performances, very very touching. The cinematography is just breathtaking..felt like packing my bags and setting for that trip to Leh again :) Rest of the cast have done a great job too. The few scenes that are going to stay with me are : -The scene where Alia Bhatt's character breaks into a real cute jig with Ranndeep Hooda's friend - The way Alia Bhatt expresses her feelings to Ranndeep Hooda with earnest honesty, the way she says it is totally adorable - The scene where Alia Bhatt shouts at the wretched Uncle If I was in her place I would have have slapped him real tight across his face.. Imtiaz Ali - brilliant job. A R Rahman's music grows into you. I loved the movie and if you want to experience a good cinema off the usual path go for it..

The Wolf of Wall Street - Weird but Entertaining to the core

This movie is bound to blow your mind away,the performances,the gripping storyline.The cycle of life which never spares anyone. Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort from his rise to his fall ..the journey was one hell of a ride. The movie consists of strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and language(f%$#) throughout so the movie falling under adult category is completely justified. The highest score of the movie are the performances and every actor has done a brilliant job of course Leonardo DiCaprio steals the show he definitely deserves an Oscar nomination and maybe an Oscar too Rest of the cast which comprised of the following good actors did a fantastic job as well: Jonah Hill Matthew McConaughey Kyle Chandler Rob Reiner Margot Robbie Jean Dujardin Jon Favreau The movie has loads of humor and yes adult humor. Its close to 3 hr movie but it didn't seem like a stretch at all,I enjoyed the movie thoroughly more so for the awesome performances. The combination of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio has given us some of the best movies in the last twelve years : Gangs of New York - 2002 The Aviator - 2004 The Departed - 2006 Shutter Island - 2010 The Wolf of Wall Street - 2013 So I am sure we will see a lot of Oscars going to them this season Recommended

47 Ronin - Unexpectedly Good :)

I solely went to see this movie for Keanu Reeves but was mighty pleased with the movie overall. This one is an action adventure movie with some great special effects. Apparently these Samurai's did exist. The movie was a great fun ride. If action adventure is one of your favorite genre then I suggest you watch it and of course in the big screen as thats where its worth it.

12 Years a Slave - Powerful

Based on the true story of Solomon Northup this is one heartbreaking yet powerful movie ... awesome performances but yes the slavery bit can get disturbing ..Gosh aren't we all blessed ..imagine getting abducted and sold as a slave ...Brilliant piece of cinema not to be missed ... A word of caution : its violent ..closed my eyes during few of the scenes.. Chiwetel Ejiofor is outstanding so is Michael Fassbender. Brad Pitt is quite likeable in a brief role.. A great movie from Steve McQueen.. Here's to humanity...

American Hustle - Smart Con Movie :)

This is what you call a smart movie literally full of witty one liners and filled with awesome performances..this movie surely will be up for many nominations this movie award season. Christian Bale is superb won't be surprised if he bags an award for this one. Amy Adams one of my favorite impressed yet again in this powerful role..someday I hope she gets and award. Bradley Cooper as always is likeable and tickles your funny bone Jennifer Lawrence is fantastic ..one actress to look out for in the years to come. Jeremy Renner is good and Robert De Niro too does impress in a brief and important role. The movie is quite entertaining and keeps you engaged throughout. Director David O. Russell who earlier gave us 'The Fighter' (2010) ,'Silver Linings Playbook' has come up with yet another winner in hands. Recommended for sure
