The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
Greatest movie ever
One of the greatest movie ever. Wes Anderson is a God of cinema along with Satyajit Ray and Pedro Almodovar.
We are three brothers from a different culture but feel as if the story was written on three of us. Human emotions and values remains the same across the cultures.
I have watched this movie at 50 times. It is deeply philosophical. Wes Anderson captures human emotions in a very beautiful way. It almost make me cry and feel like my heart is coming in my mouth. There are so many scenes in this movie that make me cry e.g. Where they save the young boys from drowning water. The colors and every frame in his movie touches my heart with its beauty. Adrian Brody is very good and Jason Swartzman is a darling.
Baipan Bhari Deva (2023)
One of the best movie from India
Very sweet and touching movie. It should be released all over India (dubbed in various Indian languages). It is truly overall a whole pan India movie rather than just a Marathi movie. Great team as all actors are equally good and have equal weightage. I remembered all of the characters even after the movie. Director (Kedar Shinde) is superb. Vaishali Naik (Script writer) is amazing. World renowned Rohini Hattangadi is wonderful. She acts only with her eyes (she talks very less in the movie and this is requitement of the character as it suffers from depression). Stalwart Vandana Gupteji is excellent. Even smaller roles/characters like Anna are good. Sukanya Kulkarnis daughter is just as talented and beautiful like her mother. Though the story is about sisters, brothers will also relate to it as the story is about ups and downs in relationships. Men should certainly watch this movie as they will remember their brothers and sisters while watching it. I have already watched it 4 times. Women as well as men all over in India will relate to this movie. The characters remind us of respected women in our families like mothers/sisters/daughters/aunts/grannys etc. The last mangalagour song and all other songs too are super. Costumes/sarees in last mangalagour song are fantastic. They are similar to famous Paris fashion designers like Yves Saint Laurent etc. The colors of those sarees are extremely beautiful. Great work.
Euphoria: Ruminations: Big and Little Bullys (2022)
Greatest episode
The story between young Cal and young Derek touched my heart immensely. I felt like it was exactly my own story. I have watched it more than 25 times already. It was tender, romantic, hot and sexy all at the same time. Actors playing young Cal and Derek were terrific. Please show more storyline between young Cal and David with the same young actors in flash back. I request the makers of this show for this a million times. This is the best story in the whole show (or the best story on television at the moment). Big thank you for this realistic storyline. We want more of Elias Kacavas and Henry Eikenberry (these 2 actors are truly amazing) and Cal's story. THis is the best story line since I watched "SKAM". I was very touched with young Cal and Dereks acting/emotions. These are exceptionally good actors.
Walker (2021)
Great Show. Loving it.
Jared Padalecki, good work man! Your best pairing (either male or female) is with Jensen Ackles (both of you light up the screen together and both of your chemistry is fantastic...like God made) and was skeptical as to how you would be without him. But you (without Jenson) and your show is doing a good job. I must say that the show grew on me. Am loving it! My suggestion to viewers is that do not compare this show to that of legendary Chuck Norris's as this show is really different from the original one. The best part of Jared's show is that it focuses on complex and wonderful human emotions/relationship rather than plain action. I watched it with an open mind as I had not seen the original one. It is in tune with current times. Such as inclusion of gay brother (loved it!). Had loved Kegan Allen in movie King Cobra and in this show too he is doing a great job (also his suits/clothes are so beautiful...he looks hot/smart). Request the show to please increase his love storyline..The show includes characters from different races which is truly beautiful..Lindsey Morgan is amazing. Liked her in this show. She makes a very good partner to Jared (and Jared gives her space which is amazing. Each character is given space in this show which is very good). All other actors such as Kale, Molly, Jeff, Mitch are very good. Liked father son relationship (Jared and Kale). They should show more of this bonding (I feel for Kales character because he is the younger child similar to Sam in Supernatural and younger ones suffer the most with loss of a parent)...Matt Barr was lovable (sad he died in the show. Wish we could have seen more of him)..Alex Landi is good too...the only issue was with Walkers daughter...this character can be irritating at times....maybe because of the script....and with all the positives that I have for this show, I think the major flaw is the script...the scriptwriters should do something about it. All actors are brilliant but the script is not tight....it can be dull, boring, loose, all over the place and stretching (tiring) at times. Flaws in the script pull down the whole show. I mean look at supernatural...Not only the overall script of that show but script of an individual episode was tight/wonderful...like each episode had a story in itself (a story in a story) which was tight and not boring/loose. This show/Walker can seriously suffer due to sloppy work by script writers (therefore am giving it 9 and not 10). Last but not the least...the chemistry between Jared and his real life wife (Emily's character...Genevieve) is absolutely beautiful/fantastic...it is so romantic that it gives me goose bumps and makes me feel that true love/soul mates do/does exist in this world.....God bless this wonderful couple.. The death of Emily's character makes this romance so tragic and therefore emotional, touchy/sugar sweet (similar to the tragic romance between Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet)...Am looking forward for the second season and hoping the script would be tight/focused/a bit fast and not boring...
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)
This movie is a cheap, crappy and horrible remake of the Oscar winning Spanish Mexican movie "y tu mama tambien"
This movie is a copy of the Oscar winning Spanish Mexican movie "Y tu mama tambien". Or rather it is an Indianized version of Y tu mama tambien which makes it really dull. Y tu mama tambien was revolutionary as it touched on many issues like same sex attraction, live life to fullest etc. I mean Y tu.. came almost 10 years ago but today even after 10 years Bollywood movies do not have the guts to show same sex relations. Indian culture (and therefore the filmmakers as well as the audience) is yet very backward and so they have changed the original movie a little bit to suit themselves (converted gay characters to straight and that makes it boring)and the audience. Plus in Y tu.. you have actors like Gael Garcia Bernal etc who are superb. Hrithik Roshan (who is a bad actor and made it big only because of his father who was established in bollywood), Farhan Akhtar (who is very ordinary in terms of talent and also bad actor and also made it big only because of his father who was established in Bollywood)etc. are soooo ordinary and rubbish in front of original star cast. I would say that it is a boring and a very humble remake with very ordinary and rubbish actors (in front of the star cast of Y tu mama Tambien)of the great movie Y tu mama Tambien. It is very sad that Bollywood makes the most number of movies in the world but not even a single one is to the quality of movies such as Y tu mama...All the movies are horrible with unrealistic fights and silly dances and orthodox and backward Indian culture. It is a waste of time watching any Bollywood movie as they lack creativity (most are copies of Hollywood or other foreign or Tamil movies). India is blessed with world class actors such as Amitabh Bacchan, Aishwarya rai and heavenly Madhuri Dixit but the film makers do not utilize them properly and make absolutely unrealistic rubbish, horrible and shitty movies. India had only one great film maker "Satyajit Ray" and time alone will tell if it will have another master like him. Until then, they will keep up churning horrible, shitty, backward movies.
The Aviator (2004)
Dos not show all the true facts
Over all it is a good film but it does not show all the true facts about Howard Hughes. Hughes was supposedly bisexual and had an affair with Randolph Scott and Cary Grant. This is has been avoided as a plague in the film. It is sad to see that Hollywood always tries to change or hide the facts about a persons sexuality especially when it comes to homosexuality. The best example is Richard Burton's Alexander the great where he was shown to be straight as an arrow (ha, ha, what a bunch load of lies). I am not a gay activist but sincerely feel that true facts are most of the times never shown by Hollywood. Leo and Cate Blanchett have done a great job though. Despite the complete truth not shown about the legend in the film it is good and worth watching once 6/10. Talking about the Oscars, I feel that Jamie Fox deserves it over Leo for Ray. Jamie was superb as Ray. He was Ray and not Jamie Fox. I am sorry to say that at many places in the film Leo behaves like the super star Leonardo Di Caprio and not Hughes. But amongst the actresses, Blanchett rightly deserves the Oscar. She is absolutely superb as the legendary Hepburn. Her voice, mannerisms, body language, wow! guys, this is what great acting is!! Absolutely brilliant.
