Ugly (2013)
A gripping dark drama with disappointing climax !
This movie had got best reviews this week and I decided to head on and watched today. Its like one of the good Crime Patrol episode with right filmy elements. It captures your attention and holds it tightly. As title says, All the character's only ugly sides are highlighted and finally a naive kid pays for it.
The only disappointing and unconvincing part of the movie is how it ends. The kidnapper lady draws police officer to a place near where girl was kidnapped and despite body is rotten and hellish smell NO-one around complained and film has to wait till all the merry go round finishes. Come on, AK..in the entire realistic drama, you could easily twist climax to make it slightly believable !
Raanjhanaa (2013)
A delightful intriguing love-story with fantastic twists --- 8/10---
This one is one of the finest work of story telling in romance genre. This is a Story of a simple yet "jugad" full Hindu boy Dhanush and beautiful Zoya and their love changed into friendship changed into enmity changed into love. Its beautiful story and all main leads performances are too good. Dhanush is Awesomely fitting for this character and he is the one to watch for.
Sonam and Abhay also are fantastic in their respective characters. I specially loved the twists in the story with Abhay's coming and going and Dhanush's entry and exit. Direction, music, expressions, cinematography all scores well. There are some minor flaws in story but still movie is true entertainer and story is gripping and engaging. Personally, i love all the incomplete love stories and thats one more reason i loved this movie and felt so connected.
Watch this for crazy-practical-lovely love-story and special Debut of Kolavari Di fame Dhanush's extravagant performance !
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
watch for brilliant performance for Hopkins and Foster
I watched this movie with a tons of expectations but disappointed by a good margin. Although all performances of main leads and especially what everyone says Mr Hopkins - Hanibal the Cannibal is awesome and breathtaking and Judie is cute and sharp simultaneously. May be the plot, the suspense couldn't surprise me to the level i expected. The only thrill is how and what the killer is going to do - once the chase begins everything seemed so predictable if you have watched single psycho/horror thriller.
certain scenes where Hopkins somehow gets pen and opens the lock(How !?!) and creates mask identical to prison guard and so many things happen but nobody bothers -- is completely unbelievable.
kudos to performances and characterization, one time watch !
Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns (2013)
SBaG Returns -- Couldn't stand expectations
SBaG Returns has politics, romance, drama with some very predictable twists. This would be excellent watch who hasn't seen much of this genre's movies. Although having weak and predicable storyline, the film is backed by too good narration and clear portrayal of all characters.
I am big fan of Irfan khan and if i praise him it will be form of bias. But he is fabulously convincing actor and he proves one more time. Jimy, This actor is shining like polished diamond and getting better and better, last performance i saw was in Tanu Weds Manu, this is no less. Kudos ! Mahi and Soha too did justice to their characters.
The story of love, politics, revenge, falling in lust for getting to love, misunderstandings, bizarre climax -- is now highly common in Bollywood politics drama. Watch this for Irfan and Jimmy's performances and excellent narration!
Hum (1991)
A complete Bollywood masala movie !!
Hum(We) is the excellent blend of Bollywood masala which has all spiciness of our angry young man Tiger played by big B, tadka of beautiful jumma(Kimmi), bitterness of great villain and memorable character Bakhtawar by Danny, Sweetness of Kadar khan/Anupam kher comedy, Sourness of Govinda Rajneekant jugalabandi,..its a complete 10 out of 10 entertainer.. Its fantastic to watch Tiger(AB), fighting to bakhtawar, sacrificing his love for his brothers,And WOW to that dialog by greatest delivery man AB.."Do prakar k kide hote hai.." In the second half, Tiger turns to Shekhar living with happy family. in particular this scene.. when shows back glimpse of Tiger when he drags that driver out of the bus.. I remember, on they used to show the Promo of movies next Friday and they used the same scene, which is irresistible to watch AB in angry mode !:) This movie is like all time favorite for me, loved all performances and drama !!
