The Great Indian Railway (1995)
For train lovers !
A beautiful documentary showcasing not only the trains in India, but India itself. A must watch . From The Head of the railways to the key man . From the most expensive train journey ( The palace on wheels ) to ticketless travellers ( on top of the train ) , everything is beautifully explained.
Also , although the railways are called the lifeline , everyday there are almost 10 deaths on the mumbai suburban network itself.
This World: The Secret Swami (2004)
Fearless !
One of the best documentaries i have seen. Fearless is the most appropriate word. An indian journalist would find it impossible to make/release such a documentary.
Some may fine it one sided.
Delhi-6 (2009)
Nice Nice Nice !!!
The movie starts at New York where Roshan is with his parents and grandmother . His grandma doesn't have much time left , and her last wish is to go back to Delhi where she spent her entire life . So she and Roshan come to Delhi .
Now in Delhi , a serial killer is on the loose - a monkey man .( This actually had happened in Delhi - i.e. the rumors actually were circulating a couple of years back ) Their neighbors over there is Bittu who aspires to be a star . However , her Dad is really strict and wants her to get married but she's against this .
Roshan gets a taste of Delhi - the traffic , the Delhi ka Dil i.e. their hospitality , gets to know about religion , beliefs , traditions , lifestyles , the caste system and also about his parents past lives in India . He also starts liking Delhi . Now he also comes to know of Bittu's dreams and feels sorry for her .
Much of the movie revolves around Raam Leela i.e. Ramayana play . This is done very nicely . Also the Serial Killer / Monkey man is integrated well into the story . Also some parts are really funny .
One thing leads to another , and Roshan and Bittu fall in love , but her Dad has other plans for her . So this is where the love story aspect comes into play but it isn't boring and it its shown nicely - not the typical Bollywood fake love lame crap
Just as Roshan gets to see the unity between the Hindus and the Muslims , he also gets to see the hatred between them . and just as he experiences Delhi's hospitality , he also feels its hostility .
SO, will Bittu become a star ? Will Roshan run back to New York with his tail between his legs ? Will Bittu and Roshan get to be together ?
Oh come on .... I wont tell you everything .. go watch the movie for yourself . But i promise you , its a really nice movie . Definitely worth watching .
Audio / Songs : The songs in this movie are good . I can't call it fantastic .Masakalli is a great track .so is - Rehna Tu . Genda Phool is different .Rest of it - ordinary .
Review Sky - 4 / 5 .
