Mujhse Fraandship Karoge

*ing : Saqeeb Saleem, Saba Azaad, Nishant Dahiya, Tara D'souza
Director : Nupur Asthana

Tagline : Fake it if you cant make it.


now finally Y films get it right. a film abt youth and their porblems and their language without being corny or being sloppy. this is a fun film made funnier by spirited casting. all the 4 young people look rightly cast in their roles. bring out the zing and freshness required. music and setting also helps giving film the right look. i thoroughly enjoyed it.

Monster's Inc

*ing : (voices of ) : Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Mary Gibs
Director : Pete Doctor, David Silverman


Tagline : Monster's Inc, We scare because we care

i have fallen love with pixar all over again. after finding nemo, which was one of most fav film, comes monster's inc, which is equally, if not better than finding nemo.
wat do people at pixar eat to come up such great movies. finding nemo taught us about father son relationship with some unusual characters, here talks pixar talks abt happiness through monsters. yes you heard right, happiness and laughter through monsters. and if pixar belives in something, they know they can do it. they are the best.
a film to be watched with kids, adults and elderly people. it really makes u emotional and laugh at the same time.

its a tragic tragic story. a very sad film which teaches you that anything can go wrong anytime. an abandon wife is evicted from house who starts a tragic relationship with new owners of her house. the owner himself are not native americans. i cant say much except this is sad sad film. exactly the kind i wanted to watch that day.

Ra.One

*ing : Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor
Director : Anubhav Sinha

Tagline :Superhero with a Hart

i am probably biggest fan of shahrukh khan. i adore him like no other thing. i belive he is the smartest and most intelligent person on the planet earth.
and when he started making is dream venture film on gaming and superheroes, i thought its going to bring new era of technology and film making in Bollywood. and the first look of film came, i dint like. then few promos came in, except one, i dint like any. then the soundtrack came in, barring one song (bhare naina) i dint like it much. however i had some ideas wat kind of story the film is which always excited me.
i knew no matter wat, SRK will surpass all the expectations.. and boy was i disappointed, well i was shattered.

i did not like the film. At best, it was OK. first 20-25 mins of the film is nothing but headache. srk in that Tamil speaking geek is annoying and not endearing. srk is as superhero (?) is one dimensional. the humor is forced, emotional scens do not strike a chord.
only thing which works is the few action scenes but its hard to be excited as u dnt feel for the characters much.
though you cant deny that srk has invested his blood and sweat in the film. bt the problem is he is trying too hard to please everyone.

above all, biggest culprit of the entire movie is director anubhav sinha. he has handled scenes like a ametuer. director of films like dus, cash and tum bin should not have been directing such magnum opus with 150 cr budget. its because of him the film looks a child's work.

srk made a mistake in hiring him as a director. he should hv gone for better options.
having said that, one film will never ever do any thing to my love for srk. he is greatest and will remain one forever. he is miles above his counterparts. dnt agree me, just watch the new trailer of DON 2.

The Hangover II

*ing : Bradely Cooper, Ed Helms, Zack Galifiankis,
Director : Tod Phillips

Tagline : The Wolfpack is back


how exciting it was learn that there will be sequel to probably my most fav comedy movie hangover. and even the trailer showed soo much of promise bt the film is disappointing. it may have been decent movie standalone but the fact that it is sequel to 2009's most successful movie which has a cult following.
this movie does bring the wolfpack back but not the fun they had in LA. Bangkok aint that fun except occasional funny situation, rest of the movie has a deja vu feel to it. hangover part one's most fun aspect was its unpredictability.. here we somehow know things that are going to happen. watch it very low expectations and it just might turn out good.
