Death has always fascinated me, and many other ppl. Ppl are always curious to know what happens after death. where do we go, do they keep wandering in universe. the film talks abt death bt in a diff way. there are 3 protagonist who are related to death in one way or other. a french reporter is a tsunami survivor who almost sees herself dead. then there is a teen boy who looses his brother whom he is closest to in the world. and then there is a psychic who has a gift of talking to dead ppl.

Director : Onir

Its an issue based films touching on diverse themes like gay ppl, kashmiri pandits, child sex abuse, and surrogate mothers. all are important issues bt treatment of some stories made me dissatisfied. having said that, its a good film with noble intention. director cud hv made it gimmicky or scandalous to gain publicity bt that was not the case.

a road trip movie where a high brow corporatist girl gets stuck with a old dilli loud guy where she has to travel frm jaipur to dilli with him. predictably everything that can go wrong does go wrong. film has a major jab we met hangover. some scenes r good bt vinay pathak looks repeated in the character which holds resemblance to his bheja fry act. not that bad. not that good.

Gumnaam

*ing : Manoj Kumar, Nanda, Pran, Helen

Director : Raja Nawathe

An old bollywood film based on And then there were None by Agatha Christie. Its a horror-thriller film where bunch of ppl have been put on an island and each of them start getting murdered one by one. the novel was pretty interesting bt the film here lacks the surprise element. even the climax is quite lame. n too many songs put lot of break on narrative. not my type.
