My Thoughts on OMG! Oh My God and English Vinglish





OMG!Oh My God- 

It is epitome of how to handle highly sensitive subject without creating controversy. Story of a man questioning very existence of god himself? Filing case against top Religious places? Seriously, no subject could have been more sensitive and dangerous than this, especially in India where Possibility of people’s religious sentiments getting hurt is more than monsoon missing its schedule. The way directed has handled it is simply great. Story starts on slow note, taking its time to elaborate Kanji bhai's (Paresh Rawal) skepticism towards existence of god. Writer/Director combo has made every effort to make reasons for Kanji Bhai's legal battle against god digestible. Doing that they have also succeeded some serious issues going on in society in the name of God. This movie is capable of making even a hardcore religious man to ponder about good and bad things going around in the name of religion. For me that's the greatest success of this movie.
On performance part, Paresh Rawal is outstanding. How many shades of characters this guy can pull off? superb. Akshay as a god is very refreshing. I would give standing ovation for Akshay not just because of his performance but backing this movie as a financier and promoting this movie over his crappy Joker. Mithun Chakraborthy's character at a times might seem little far fetched. But who am I to say for sure that it is not out of reality.
Final Verdict- Best of 2012.
Totally Recommended…!!!

English Vinglish- 


100% woman oriented movie in which lead actress is making a comeback after a decade and they thought it would make audience come to theater, sit through 2 and half hours and above all enjoy it? Hell yah! It did all those things. It made hardcore masala/comedy fan in me come to theater, sit through 2 and half hours and enjoy it to fullest. It is odd for a youngster, especially like me, to go out for a movie like English Vinglish which has 40 years old woman as a lead actress. But the simplicity and Shridevi's prodigy I saw in film's trailer made me add this movie in to 'Gonna Watch It' list.

Very unique thing about movie is its simplistic story. Gauri Shinde’s execution of it makes it more intriguing. Shridevi looks like goddess of housewives, walks, speaks and act like she is living the story. Special mention and applaud goes to Priya Anand. Because I simply loved her character. I had a crush on her for a week. (Yah! sue me if I am being a 'Typical Boy' here.) Special mention to the background music of the film. There are few songs which are aptly placed and very soothing to ears as well. Navrai Maazi Navsachi and Manhatten are the best of a lot.

Final Verdict- Another masterpiece of the year. Totally Recommended!!!

The Legend Of THE WALL

This day I would never forget. Rahul Dravid is going to retire is what I was hearing, reading, seeing since yesterday. But I did not want to believe it. My mind was saying ‘yes! This is probably right’ but my heart just could not bear the possibility of not having Dravid around playing, fighting, winning and saving test matches for India. So I was eagerly waiting for today’s press conference, hoping against hope that this conference might be for some different reasons (though my brain couldn’t think of any). But that was not to be the case and Dravid indeed announced his retirement today. Retirement of Rahul Dravid has left a big, very big void in, not only team india but also in every cricket lovers life. I started following Cricket since 1996. And it is no surprise that Dravid made his debut in that year. I still remember that day, I, 7 years old then, watching a live match with all my friends on TV. The match was India Vs Pakistan at Sharjah. That day I first saw ...

My Thoughts on AGNEEPATH (2012)…

****Spoilers**** (Read only if you are the one who have watched the movie or you are the one who don’t mind if someone spoils your party. :D  ) If say, somehow I did not happen to know that this AGNEEPATH movie is actually a remake of old movie of 1980s, I would have guessed it perfectly right after the end of climax fight sequence. Such are the scenes in this movie that follow exact same path of old 1980s movies. Movie starts in a village ‘Mandawa’ showing Vijay’s (Hrithik Roshan) childhood life and his relation with his father and how main villain Kaancha (Sanjay Dutt) murders his father. This part is actually well executed and builds the platform for revenge perfectly. Then movie follows the regular path of how Vijay creates his presence in Mumbai mafia world with the help of Rauf Lala (Rishi Kapoor), who is apparently the arch enemy of Kaancha, and rise to the power with the only motive of seeking revenge against Kaancha. And blah blah blah…. Now fighting sequenc...

My Thoughts on THE AVENGERS

It is difficult to handle 2 lead characters in a movie,( just have a look at bollywood multi-starrers for example) so how can someone manage to assemble not two, not three, total six lead characters and that too Superheroes in a single movie and hope for success??? Director Joss Whedon not only manages but does it so brilliantly. ‘The Avengers’ starts with very unconventional way- at least for a superhero movie- with slow pace, building a plot brick by brick,  introducing all characters simplistic way. There is not much over-the-top action in first half(that’s being more than compensated in last half). What keeps audiences interested in first half is strong performance of leads (especially Robert D Junior), lots of humor, and anticipation of forthcoming events. ‘The Avengers’ starts justifying its superhero genre in last half, and till the end it becomes an-example-to-imitate for all future superhero movies. The biggest plus point of a movie is that it allots equal scree...
