Trust

*ing : Clive Owen, Cathrnene Keener,
Director : David Schwimmer


Tagline :

there are more than enough stories about how people life is ruined because of internet. this is one of the story and a common problem is dealt were an elderly man pretending to be a teenager befriends a young girl and eventually rapes her. and how the family copes with such tragedy.
one always has to be careful on internet. and this film does expose some horrific consequences of internet and being an ignorant parent.

Saheb Biwi aur Gangster

*ing : Jimmy Shergil, Mahie Gill and Randeep Hooda
Director : Tigmanshu Dhulia

Tagline :

I haven't seen the original by guru dutt saheb biwi aur ghulam bt it i can bet it wud be nothing like this film.
this is based in heartland of north India where a fading saheb is trying hard to sustain his status in today's world. has a beautiful wife who is also mentally unstable. possesses a mistress like any other saheb.
enters our gangster who has actully infiltrated the gang to provide information to rival gang. problem starts when gangster falls madly in love (lust) with biwi.
laced with some witty lines and powerful dialogues the film never really bores you.

Mausam

*ing : Shahid Kapoor, Sonam
Director : Pankaj Kapoor

Tagline : A timeless love story.

the film is not as bad as people said it would be. infact i enjoyed 75% of. rest 25% i think just shouldnt have been there.. its just tooo long. and thats why it drags and you loose the fun you had earlier. story is interesting, premise is also good n some scenes are skillfully handled bt as i said.. it should been couple of seasons less.

Submarine

*ing : Craig Roberts, Sally Hawkins, Paddy Considine

Tagline : A comedy that doesnt let principles stand in a way of progress.


Was it supposed to be comedy, ? was it supposed to be Drama ? was it supposed to be coming - of - age story of a teenager ??
well i cudnt find nothing of it really.

just a normal teen with his normal upbringing problems and issues which people generally face in western countries. mom having affair, girl friend issues.. school bullying n stuffs. nothing new. nothing to recommend about.. i was thoroughly bored.

Revolution 2020 : Love. Corruption. Ambition

Written by Chetan Bhagat

Finally finished a book after long time.. even though starting many books in recent times and reading as much as 90% of certain books.. i had not been able to finish any of them. bt with chetan.. its different.

mostly its the language and stories he talks abt. it all sounds relatable. the issues, the lingo.. the setup.
here its a triangular love story set in city Varanasi which also has backdrop of corruption in education sector.
It may not be chetan's best work bt you cant ignore the seriousness of the issue he talks about. as how there is rampant corruption in education and as how you have to bribe on EVERY stage to get a college be up and functioning. one of the reason our country's education system is going to drains.
may not be funny as his earlier books, may not be as dark as the issue sounds.. may not be as dramatic as it should hv been..bt still its worth a read.

Force

*ing : John Abraham, Genelia D'souza
Director : Nishikant Kamat

Tagline : For every negative, there is a positive.

A review after a long time..
well i was expecting film to be good. it was not.. started on a good note and maintained in pace and consistency on most of the parts.. its about group of special cops who fights drug lords in the city. meanwhile they also take care of their family. john gets involved romantically with genelia and they both plan to get married. bt there's a new villain who takes revenge to new level and starts targeting family of cops. thats where it converts into a revenge drama and film goes downhill. there is just tooo much of gore in it to digest it. genelia is super duper cute.
