Bangalore Days - A Whiff Of Fresh Air

Just the right movie in this awesome weather of Bangalore ... The initial incidents of the movie did bring back the memories when 24 years back we were posted in Bangalore from a remote corner of UP , the excitement that followed :) Still remember the 27th June of 1990 stepping out of the train in Bangalore Cantonment station in the beautiful weather chilled weather of Bangalore ..sheer bliss And can’t think of moving anywhere else in India :) The movie shows all my favorite places in Bangalore , I was completely immersed in the movie , not a moment of boredom in those 172 minutes. A story of hope,love,faith and everything nice :) All the actors in this movie are natural and a pleasure to watch. The actors who stood out were - Dulquar Salman( son of Mammotty), Nazriya Nazim, Fahadh Faasil, Nivin Pauly, Parvathi. Great movie by Director Anjali Menon. This movie is released in more than 200 screens across India with English subtitles so please don’t miss it. How I wish more and more such super movies of regional language release with English subtitles and none of us will be deprived of good cinema and yes will save us from watching lousy bollywood movies well most of them are lousy even out of boredom. The movie has been running in Bangalore for sometime so book your tickets before it stops screening. Recommended ..the best movie this week for sure. Saritha Radhakrishnan thanks so much for the awesome recommendation..loved the movie :)

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania - timepass if you think so :)

First few observations : - Alia Bhatt must have signed this movie before Highway and 2 States released - Karan Johar didn't have much faith in the new director that's why no foreign locale shootings and neither high end designer clothes or accessories were used, he did give him a shoe string budget to work on to prove his worth, and having seen the movie not sure if Karan will place faith again in him - Time pass movies should have good music I mean at least feet tapping even that was missing. It had all the makings of a time pass movie but they missed it.. Varun Dhawan was ok...Alia Bhatt was shrieking not one of her best performance for sure. The only guy i really liked was the Tele Star Siddharth Shukla of Balika Vadhu's fame and yes Ashutosh Rana too But when you have a good companyKakoli Roy and your giggling away throughout those 2 hr plus which otherwise would have been boring then you don't mind for sure If you go with friends and have intention of chatting up while watching the movie then this is the one for you.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - Innovative..great concept

There were humans and then there were Apes and then there were more Apes ,Apes talking like humans, Apes riding in horses, I think the movie had less humans Very innovative in terms of the concept and making of the movie. Loved the emotional connect between the Apes and the humans..something to watch out for. Today's highlight was meeting Milind Soman and yes the Tea Tasting session at Infinitea Bangalore :)

Taxi Driver - Awesome

One superb movie of Robert DeNiro ... this cult movie is a must must watch for every good movie lover...Grab the DVD like now :) Hindi version of this one 'Sadaak' is not even remotely any good compared to this brilliant movie... A superb end to Wednesday :) Glad this is my 100th movie of 2014 :)
