Khoobsurat (2014)
A Nice Light Hearted Movie!!!!!
Khubsoorat!!!!! If you are looking for a pleasant 2 hours - this 1 is for you. Plot Review: Its a simple movie portraying what happens when the heroine a happy go lucky Doctor who is completely alien to discipline and formalities sets foot in a orthodox royal family where we have the hero. Acting: Sonam Kapoor is brilliant and Fawad Khan has the royal looks & complements Kapoor, Kiron Kher is a character as usual with a good supporting cast led by ratna pathak.
Pros: Its the Grandeur,photography and soft background music that makes this movie a 2 hour totally pleasant journey. Cons: Lack of intensity, but then its a mandatory ingredient & hence cant really be considered a con.
Lucy (2014)
Lucy : Brainy is the New Sexy
Lucy!!! Starts well , mediocre finish. Plot Review: Lucy picks pace straight from Minute 1 and the way in which parallel narration & Stock footage is shown when Morgan Freeman lecturing is great. Its nice to see how the director has managed to convey the idea of what the mind can do when fully utilised. The film builds up well & just when you think is gonna get even bigger when the story moves to Europe(Paris) you are disappointed. There that 1 car scene but compared to the magnitude of the plot the action is diluted. Also the shootout between the Police & the Chinese is also pretty ordinary.
There is not a big storyline here rather its the creative visualization that impresses.
The Toast Lucy gives to herself in the flight shows the intention of the creators but not sure if they manage to execute it on screen.
Acting: Its a Scarlet Show all the way, There could not be a better voice than Morgan Freeman to explain Evolution. Amr Waked has nothing good to do than a 2 second kiss to Lucy. Min-sik was average certainly not menacing or a person of character to take on the God Like Lucy. Pros : Fast Paced Movie! Makes you think! Cons: Starts more seriously than The Limitless but the end doesn't grip you enough. Reminds you of the matrix in the end.
Singham Returns (2014)
Singham Roars!!!
Singham Returns is not a remake of Singham 2(Tamil) but a new script altogether,this shows the directors intent on building a franchise rather than just doing a Masala movie!!!!!
Plot Review : Firstly 7/10 is purely on the basis that this is for the jolly audience who like Masala flick. Singham starts from where it left off in part 1 with stunts getting better. Anupam Kher as Guruji the righteous leader and Baji's teacher is typical of the political rolemodel all movies have, Prakash Rao & Babaji are again the typical politician and the pesudo-spiritual bad guys. Its insanely funny to see the baba in beer & shorts soon after a spiritual discourse. The shootout where Anup Kher is killed reminds of a GTA Style mission & Ajay Devgan does an AOE when the whole Police Departments quits and runs through the baddies. There are a few scenes where you really feel the tribute to the POLICE given is less indeed . The scene when the honest constable's wife is ready to do house hold chores reminds us of the harsh reality the police family faces. Singham, totally is mix of all emotions and turns out to be a nice bhel poori.
Acting: Ajay Devgan carries the whole movie from start to end and does a decent job. Anupam Kher is flamboyant as usual but its Amole Gupte the Babaji who as the comic-serious villain is a treat to watch. Kareena Kapoor has little to do. CID Fame Daya is given a decent role and even as his trademark scene when Ajay orders "Daya Darwaja tod"
Pros: The Movie is deserved tribute to the Police, Decent Acting, Engaging Story Line Cons: Predictable!!!!
Anjaan (2014)
Could have been so much better
Anjaan!!!! Good Cast ,Santhosh Sivan with the Camera , Yuvan with the Music and the over-rated Lingusamy calling the shots is a disappointment.
Plot Review: The Movie Starts of well but slowly the guessing game becomes too easy. The Placement of songs is too pathetic. It seems Lingusamy has followed a formula that as soon as a villain is killed a song is to be played. You literally start praying for no more songs at a point when the director cruelly plagues you with one.
Acting: There is not much acting the actors can do when the story & script is such a big let down. Barring the 1 scene from Manoj Bajpai where he proves his class there is nothing much to say.
Pros: Nothing to be dead honest!! Bang Bang Bang Song may be. Cons: Story , Screenplay & Direction.
Hey Ram (2000)
Sheer Brilliance!!!
Hey Ram!!! This movie defines class. Plot Review : Its truly engaging how Saket Ram(KH) after being a victim of the Bengal Riots is made to believe by Hindu Extremist(AK) that MK.Gandhi is responsible for all the Chaos. How the next sequence of events make Saket Ram realize by his own conscience, Amjad Ali Khan (SRK) that Gandhi is the only sanity remaining is the plot of the movie.
Acting: Kamal Haasan portrays his character in such a great fashion hardly ever seen before : Jubilant, Grief Stricken, Innocent, As an Aveneger , In Severe Dilemma , Man Reformed the range is awesome. Atul Kulkarni as Shriram Abhyankar leaves a very strong impression and was very rightly awarded the National Award. Shahrukh,Saurabh Shukla, naseeruddin shah, Hema Malini, Girish Karnad, Rani Mukherjee , Vasundra Das and all the well known faces have given their best.
Pros : Good Plot, Nice Acting, Technically Brilliant = Great Film. Cons : Too much gore, more than average sexual content.
