Film review of Aashiqui 2.

In the world of Indian cinema,Love,Romance and Music have an everlasting bond with each other.Each one is incomplete without the other two.This never ending predominant bonding has been re-utilized by Mohit Suri,in the film "Aashiqui 2".With new comers Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor playing the lead roles,this film,a sequel to the 1990 musical block buster "Aashiqui", is a musical drama film,which depicts the journey of two musicians Rahul and Arohi ,which goes through Love,hate,twists,turbulence,success and failure in their lives.The music is composed by Mithoon,Jeet Ganguly and Ankit Tiwari. The film was released world wide on 26th April,2013 and gained mostly positive reviews from critics and was declared a "Blockbuster" by Box-Office.

Beginning with the review:

Poster - The main poster of the movie as well as the soundtrack cover was very well received by the audience.The main poster of the movie is as below:

                                                

It clearly portrays the romantic chemistry between the lead pair of the movie.Newcomers Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor,have carried out their task well,and they are able to portray the onscreen

chemistry required by them.The poster therefore stands well on it's ground and fulfills it's purpose.

The soundtrack cover of the movie is somewhat similar to a poster of the 1990 movie "Aashiqui",which uses

the idea of lovers under a coat.

                                       

This poster was also very well received by audience.Hence,both the posters proved to be attention seeking and established it's purpose.

Trailer - The first teaser of the film was released on 22nd March,2013 and was very well received by the audience.The song "Tum hi ho" grabbed special attention.Unlike other movies,that release theatrical trailers before,this movie chose to release songs before the trailer.Besides,unlike other movies featuring new comers,the teaser trailer as well as the sound tracks were very well received by the audience.The song "Tum hi ho" received immense response from the critics as well as audience and became an instant hit within two days.The other songs of the movie,are also very much popular.

Story Line - The story starts with introducing Rahul Jaykar(Aditya) better known as RJ,an alcoholic,once successful rockstar,who is at a steady decline in his career due to his addiction.But,his addiction has turned into his weakness,and he cannot get rid of it.He accidentally runs into a girl named Arohi(Shraddha),who is a bar singer,at a late night bar and after listening to her voice,decides to help her,boost her career by making her a successful singer.Thus starts a romantic journey of Rahul and Arohi,which passes through many stages in their lives.

However,as slowly the career of Arohi begins to rise,and Rahul himself leads to his downfall,there arises misunderstandings between them.But,Arohi then decides to be with Rahul rather than selecting her career as she truly loves him.This makes Rahul understand that he has become a burden on her,and he kills himself to make her free.

The film ends with Arohi being a successful,established singer,who sees Rahul in the audience,every time she performs.She signs her name as "Arohi Rahul Jaykar" on a fan book,testifying her unsung desire to be Rahul's wife.

Acting - The lead pair of this movie,although new comers,have done their work well. Aditya Roy Kapur,in the role of an alcoholic singer RJ,who falls in love with a simple girl,Arohi,and slowly brings out his own destruction,stands up to his mark.At points of the film,where his emotions are needed to be portrayed,he carries the task well over him.

Shraddha Kapoor,as Arohi,a talented singer,who falls in love with a once famous singer,Rahul,and decides to be with him,in spite of being more successful than him,proves her acting skills explicitly in this movie.

The onscreen chemistry of the lead pair,has come out to be immensely perfect for the movie,and they both are able to testify their skills onscreen as well as provide a breath of fresh air to the audience.

The supporting cast also stands up to the mark.

Music - The music of the film,scores very well.The movie comprises of ten tracks,along with one instrumental track,composed by Mithoon and Ankit Tiwari. The lyrics of most of the songs have been written by Irshad Kamil,and the lyrics of the famous song "Tum hi ho",has been written by Mithoon himself.All the songs of this movie became very much popular along with "Tum hi ho" and "Sun raha hai" topping the charts.

Overall,the music scores 4.5/5.

Pace - The pace of the movie,although slow in some parts,is more or less accurately maintained.From the beginning to the end,the movie is interesting as well as worth watching.Although,the middle portion becomes a little slow,but is overcome quickly in the latter half.The movie is worth remembering for it's wonderful songs,as well as a very purely romantic story line,which is again amplified by the acting and freshness of the lead pair.It is definitely a one time watch,in some cases even more.

Overall,I would rate the movie 8/10.

Reincarnation:Imagination or Reality??

The concept of Reincarnation,so called as "Rebirth" or "Punarjanma" is a widely predominant thought in almost all religions,including some famous ones like Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism.It may be defined as the religious or philosophical concept of "Life After Death",which states that after the biological death, although the physical body gets destroyed,but the soul or the spirit begins a new life in a new body,that may be a human,animal or a spirit,depending upon the actions of the previous life,so called as "Karma".It is the Karma that decides,what form of life will the wandering soul grasp to

The word "Reincarnation",originating in Latin,literally means "Entering the flesh again".The Greek equivalent term "Metempsychosis",means "Transmigration of the soul".Another Greek word "Palingenesis",which means

"Being born again",is also said to be it's equivalent.The process of reincarnation,generally focuses on death and then again being born after death.The universal process that gives rise to the cycle of death and rebirth,governed by Karma is called as "Samsara".

Believed to have origins,apparently in the Iron Age(1200 BC),discussions about this subject,have also been found,to have occurred in many parts of India and Greece,apparently in the 6th century BC.Although,the ideas associated with reincarnation,may vary from place to place,accordingly with the beliefs as well as the religions and religious views dominant there,but the central element always remains the same,which states that there is always a life after death and henceforth,death is not an end to life.It may be regarded as a shift of life (Soul) from one physical body to another physical body,which is generally governed by Karma.

The Hindu,Buddhist and Jain concepts of Reincarnation differ in their ideas from each other.According to Buddhism,the art of "Nirvana" or "Enlightenment",is defined as a state of liberation from the limitations of existence.Nirvana is a state that can be obtained in one's life by the right aspiration,Purity of life,extinction of desire as well as elimination of Egotism.So,if a living being does obtain Nirvana,it cannot escape from the cycle of life,death and rebirth.The living being would definitely be reborn into one the six following possible states:

1)Heaven.

2)Human Life.

3)Asura.

4)Hungry Ghost.

5)Animals.

6)Hell.

 So,it concludes that no one of us can avoid death,and if we are not being able to free ourselves from the vicious cycle of death and rebirth,we may become doomed to it and it's paradoxical nature of suffering.

Hinduism,on the other hand provides a somehow different idea of approach related to Reincarnation,often called as "Punarjanma".It provides a few reasons for reincarnation mainly:

1)To experience the fruits of one's own Karma.

2)To satisfy one's desires.

3)To complete one's unfinished sadhana.

4)To fulfill a debt.

5)To undergo sufferings due to a great soul's curse.

6)To attain Moksha.

So,it can be seen that the reasons as well as the views,of reincarnation may vary according to the religions but the main idea of Reincarnation due to Karma,remains the same.

Now,the question that arises is:

Reincarnation is just a mere imagination or reality???

Here,I would like to give an example of a girl,named "Shanti Devi",who lived in Delhi,India during the Pre independence era.She claimed to remember events clearly from her past life.Although,several investigation commissions were arranged in order to testify her truth,but finally she had been proved to be a true reincarnation of another woman named "Lugdi Devi",who stayed in Mathura,and had died just ten days after giving birth to her child.This amazing case of Shanti Devi,said to be the most verified and documented case of reincarnation,has gained wide fame since then.Later,she also was the subject matter of many books and television shows.The following picture is of Shanti Devi,when she was an adult:

                                            

                 [This picture is taken from Google,and I have no knowledge of it's correctness]

Many books were also written on her,among which,the most famous one is:

                                                  

This link may help you for further investigation:

http://beforeitsnews.com/beyond-science/2012/02/reincarnation-fact-the-amazing-case-of-shanti-devi-from-india-1791397.html

There is also another famous story of a child named James Leininger,whose parents claimed him to be the reincarnation of a pilot named James Huston,who had been shot in his plane,during the World War 2.The following link can be helpful:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1209795/Reincarnated-Our-son-World-War-II-pilot-come-life.html

The story is believed to be true,for the fact that no proof of deceit was ever found.

Besides,these two,many other stories of reincarnation have also been predominant,in many parts of the world,some of which are believed to be true,because of the same reason as mentioned above.

A debate on the fact that Reincarnation is true or not,can lead to various discussions and controversies,and no end result can ever be achieved.Hence,it would not be wise to take any decision based on one's blind belief.Moreover,it is to be noted that not believing in reincarnation has no relation with being realistic or practical,and besides,in both of the cases,mentioned above,all documentary proofs relate them to be true and hence logically,there is no necessity to disbelieve them.So,I would rather advice all,to be practical in judging a fact,and not get carried away in the pool of prejudices.

This topic of debate,has been spanning across history,and the importance seems to increase as time passes. Hence,based on factual judgements,I myself have come to the conclusion that Reincarnation is true. However,this is my personal opinion,and anyone who wishes to comment for or against it,is always welcome!!!

Twin Towers:A pride of Malaysia.

The twin towers landmark, in New York,United States that represented the original World Trade Center, had been destroyed long back in September 11,2001.They were definitely a pride of United States of America(USA).

But on this point,there is a need in checking the title again!!

Most people will conclude that I have written,the title wrong.Twin Towers,were there in USA,how come Malaysia came in between??

So,do I really need to change the title??

The answer is a big "no".For a clarification,let me assure you all,the title is not wrong.Most of people know that a pair of twin towers,existed in USA.But a few little do know,about the same in Kuala Lumpur,the capital of Malaysia.

The Petronas Towers,also called as the Petronas Twin Towers,are twin sky scrapes in the city of Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia.They were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004,and remain the tallest twin building in the world,today.

This post can be regarded as an attempt to open eyes for those who don't know about them!!

Much like the Twin Towers,USA,the "Petronas Twin Towers" are also a pride of Malaysia.Located very near to the Kuala Lumpur Tower,this pair of towers,depict the landmark of Kuala Lumpur.

I personally,had visited Malaysia,about 2 years ago.I had the opportunity of visiting the towers,and getting to see a glance of them.The beauty of the towers is immense.The architectural design is well planned and there are show rooms of almost every possible brand.The visitors are allowed to visit only up to the 41st floor,where there is a sky bridge connecting the two towers,and the beauty of the whole city can easily be seen from that sky bridge.

The night view of the towers would be somewhat like this:

                                                

Although,the visit was not for a very long time,but still,ample research after wards,has helped me collect a large amount of info,on the towers,which I am summarizing point wise as below:

1)The towers were designed by famous Argentine American architect Cesar Pelli, who has also designed the

World Financial center complex in Manhattan,quite near to the then fallen,World Trade Center.

2)The 88 floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete,with a steel and glass facade,in order to

resemble motifs found in Islamic Art,thus reflecting Malaysia's muslim religion.

3)Another Islamic influence is the cross-section of towers,based on "Rub El Hizb",the famous Muslim symbol of overlapping squares.

                                                         

It is then added with circular sectors to meet office space requirements.

4)Officially opened on August 1,1999 by the then prime minister of Malaysia,the towers were built on Kuala Lumpur's race track.

5)After initial construction,the Tower 1 was found to be leaning 25 millimetres off from vertical.However,It was corrected till completion.

6)The office spaces in Tower 2 include a large number of companies like IBM,Huawei,HCL,Microsoft, Reuters and many others.

7)The Tower 1 is fully occupied by Petronas,the famous oil and gas company in Malaysia,and it's subsidiaries.

8)Suria KLCC,is an upmarket retail center at feet of the towers,which includes an art gallery,an underwater aquarium as well as a science center to enhance attraction. Suria KLCC is one of the largest shopping malls in Malaysia.

9)The KLCC park,spanning 17 acres below the building,is furnished with jogging and walking paths,a fountain incorporated with light show,a wading pool as well as a children's park.

10)The lift system is a double decker lift system,with lower deck taking passengers to odd numbered floors,and upper deck to even numbered ones.The total number is 29 for each tower.

11)Additional connecting lifts are also present.

12)The sky bridge is at a height of 170 meter from street level,and the towers are provided with a 5 levels of basement parking.

13)There are 10 escalators,in each tower,and the total no of stairs is 1765 flights.

14)The towers exhibit a wonderful showroom of Clothes and Chocolates,that are famous in Malaysia.

Thus,the Petronas Towers are definitely a pride of Malaysia,and form a large part of it's business economy and growth.

Love and Lust:Different but generally Inseparable.

Many a times,I come across topics in magazines,news papers as well as TV shows,which focus on the basic differences between Love and Lust.However,after point wise stating of differences between love and lust, often a question is asked:

Love or Lust??

In Google itself.if you type the search criteria as Love or Lust,thousands of wallpapers,will instantly be displayed.Many people believe Lust to be a vulgar thing,and also conclude the fact that relationships based on Lust,have no significance,and people involving in such relationships have no moral values.Hence,in the long run,it's only Love that counts,while Lust is always said to be the dark side,that makes a relationship vulgar.

Well,if that is the case,then in contrast to all these shitty facts and conclusions,I have a few questions:

1)Whys is then the term "Sex" said to be Divine?

2)Why is sex the only way that facilitates growth of generations?

3)Why has god made sex widely spread across all living things in this world?

Among people who conclude facts as stated like above,no one has an answer to these questions.So,clearly the time has arrived,when we should stop concluding and start thinking.

Let us take a simple example of a coin.The two sides of a coin are always different from each other,and they can never even be alike.But,can a coin be made meaningful without it's two sides? Does a such type of coin even exist?

The answer is plainly "No".

Similarly,in a relationship Love and Lust are just like the two parts of it,which are different from each other,but which can never be separated from each other.Love and Lust together forms a complete relationship. A relationship can never be based on only Love or Lust.Both are necessary for it.A relationship based on just any one of them,cannot be a long lasting complete relationship.It's Infatuation(Both Physical and Mental) that can be based on either Love or Lust.

Imagine,some one having beautiful bollywood actress Yami Gautam,as his girlfriend.Well,what would he do then?

Most will reply that the relationship will completely be based on love,and in case of Sultry actress Mallika Sherawat,it is completely Lust,right?

Absolute bullshit!!

Remember,what they do on screen,is just a world of fantasy,a part of their profession.It depends on the mind set of audience,whether it is good or bad.

However,in real life,one needs to think rationally.No girl or boy can be differentiated according to their looks,skin colour or physique. Pre concept is a dangerous thing. In reality,it's more or less same,i.e. a balance between Love and Lust.

When two people are in a relation,they will have physical desires for each other.May be not at the same time, but they will definitely have.That's not at all wrong or vulgar.In fact,that's quite general and normal.

It s kiddish and immature,to think that only love can form a relationship.

Cougars,one night stands,sexual encounters,are all momentary events,that take place in some people's life.But,that is not included in any kind of relation and can never be treated as one.A relation is somewhat permanent is a person's life,while none of the above are.

Thus,it is predictable,that Love and Lust form a complete relationship.They are different from each other,can never be same,but together running parallel ,can only form a perfect relationship.

So,many people with old aged thinking really need to nurture their thoughts,and think rationally.Only then will they get an answer to this ever controversial questionable fact.

A relation needs trust,mutual understanding,communication,interaction,physical desires as well as sex to survive.In absence,of any of these a relation fails.So,no one can select any one between them and both are equally necessary for all.

Success??????

Today,for a change,I have decided to publish my thoughts on success.The logical definition of success depends upon the perspective of a human being,who perceives it.Many people feel that just working in a big company,doing a lucrative job,and earning more and more money is just what success is.I have seen many people of this kind,who have no desire in their mind.Desire to do something for their own,desire to live life in their own way seems to be something unknown to them.These people cannot lead a satisfied life,as they do not live for themselves.They donate their life to some human power,who according to them,have been given the authority to command and control their life.Thus they themselves become their slaves.

However,there are people of a second kind.People who do not try to be successful.They just pursue their dreams in their own way and don't give a damn to success,and do you know what happens to them? People may think that finally,they will become drug addicts or mentally unbalanced.

But that is completely untrue.They become satisfactorily successful.i.e. success with satisfaction.They do not let themselves get crushed,lead their life in their own ways and also,they are successful.

Let me demonstrate with a short story demonstrating conversation between two friends,through a span of 10 years.

Raj and Subho are two friends,studying in same college.While Raj is a book worm,who always scores high marks,Subho is a painter,who does not study,scores less marks but paints too good.

The first conversation takes place on their final day of college.

11th July,1992:

Raj - "Hey Subho,what will you do now?The college is already over,and you haven't got placed."

Subho - "No clue dude.As per now,I will just enjoy the holidays.Let today be enjoyed and leave tomorrow for tomorrow."

Raj - "Cmon bro.Be practical.Your marks are too less.It will really be difficult for you to get even a decent job in a good company."

Subho - "Fikar nor dost.Someday I will achieve what is intended for me.Till then,no worries.If you follow your dreams,no one can stop you from being successful.By the way,I have been selected for a painting exhibition,which is tomorrow.Can u join in?"

Raj - "I have no time for that.Have my joining in next week.So,am a little busy.Any way,byee for now buddy ,take care.And kindly note that this is not gonna help you in the long run.You will have to be realistic to survive."

10 years pass by.Meanwhile,Raj is the senior software engineer of a company.He is quite successful according to him.But,even his colleagues know how he is continuously tortured by his boss,and how unhappy his married life is.

Then,one day Raj gets an order,for arranging an inaugural ceremony,where a very prominent painter will come.The painter,Subhojit Basak,is a very famous painter.Even,Raj has heard of him,but never seen him.His paintings are very costly,and some even sell at prices of 2 to 2.5 lakhs. He has even received many accolades for his performance,including "International Painter Award" two times.

13th August,2002:

Today is the inauguration day.The painting wrapped in papers,is brought on the stage,and then the painter is called with large applauds. Raj is eager,as he has never had the chance to see the famous painter,whose painting has added value to their company today.

As the painter enters the stage,Raj watches astonished,as his eyes slowly widen up."Subho"-he hears himself saying.

After the ceremony,when everyone was busy taking the autograph of Subho, Raj suddenly goes near him and asks-"Subho,how are you man? Remember me?"

Subho sees him and replies-"Yeah!of course.Long time,huh? So,you work here?".

Raj-"Yes and it is me,who arranged this show."

Subho-"Oh!good work man."

Then,they go into some quiet place,where there is no one to disturb Subho for autographs.

Raj says-"Hey Subho,how did all this happen?":

Subho-"May be it was meant for me.Remember,what I had told you long back.If you follow your dreams,success will definitely follow you.I followed my dreams,and here I am today."

Raj gunderstood his words very clearly.He chose to remain silent.

The story ends here.But,in reality most of people are like Raj. They like to engage in the daily cat and mouse run,rather than following their dreams.They may become rich enough,settled well,but never successful.Deep down,they always remain unsatisfied and frustated.

So,don't give too much energy into executing the normal race.Be different,be unique.Follow your dreams and    dedicate yourself into it.Success will kiss your feet.

Film review of Bombay Talkies.

An Anthology film,also called as a "Package Film",is generally defined as a film that comprises of four to five short films/stories.In some cases,the different stories are shown to be related to each other through a turn of events,which does not happen in some other cases.Sometimes,it even happens so,that the different films are directed by different directors.This in short,can be regarded as the main idea/concept of an anthology film.

Paying tribute to 100 years of Indian cinema,"Bombay Talkies" is an anthology film comprising of four short films,unrelated to each other,each being directed by one among,the four most promising directors of  bollywood- Anurag Kashyap,Dibakar Banerjee,Zoya Akhtar and Karan Johar. The four short stories intend to focus on how the lives on common people of all classes and stages of society,are affected by the impact of cinema,and in a way showcases the power of films.

Getting into the review:

Trailer - The trailer of the movie,released almost 3 weeks before the release of the movie,was very well received by the audience.It gave a feel of something different and unique,that is going to be implemented in the movie.The trailer seemed to be the ideal one,for attracting audience to cinema halls,by portraying an environment of dynamic uniqueness.So,for the review of this movie,the trailer needs to be mentioned as a special point.

However,much unlike the trailer,the movie was not so well received by the audience.The pace seems to be too slow,and the interest of the movie also gets lost somewhere in between.

Poster -                                              

                                                             

The poster as shown above,clearly signifies the fact of this movie,being an anthology film.The poster shows four stories running parallel to each other,each being different and unrelated to the other three.The poster therefore according to me,is up to the mark and somehow establishes it's purpose.

Story Line - The story line follows a sequential order with four short stories running parallel to each other, but shown one after the other.The film begins with the story "Ajeeb Dastaan Hain Yeh",directed by Karan Johar,which focuses on the life of a mismatched couple,Gayatri(Rani Mukerji) and Dev(Randeep Hooda).

The twist in the story comes in form of a young guy named Avinash(Saqib Saleem),who is gay and works under Gayatri. Slowly,Avinash and Dev come closer to each other,bond well and develop feelings for each other,thus revealing,that Dev is also gay.When Gayatri comes to know of this,she banishes Dev from home,setting herself free and realizing the reason for their failed marriage.The story ends in a symbolic way,showing Dev pennyless,roaming on streets,while Gayatri applying make up before the mirror,testifying that she has moved on.A girl child,who begs on the streets singing the song "Ajeeb dastaan hain yeh",in between and during the story,deserves special mention.

The second story,named "Star",directed by Dibakar Banerjee,displays the life of a failed actor(Nawazuddin Siddiqui),who finally stumbles upon a chance to prove himself to the world and more importantly to his daughter.It is inspired from the story"Patol babu-Film star",written by legendary personality,Satyajit Ray.

The third story "Sheila Ki Jawaani",directed by Zoya Akhtar,shows the life of a boy,who after seeing Katrina Kaif dance to the track"Shiela Ki Jawaani,decides to be what he wishes,breaking the norms and rules made by society and even goes against his parents.

The last story "Murabba",directed by Anurag Kashyap,displays the life of Vijay(Vineet Kumar Singh),who in order to fulfill his dying father's last wishes,comes from UP to Mumbai,lives a penny less life,just to make the legendary film actor,Mr.Amitabh Bachchan,eat a half of the murabba,that his father has sent with him.

The pace of the movie is too slow,and the interest seems to get lost somewhere in the middle way.

Acting - Acting by each of the lead as well as the supporting characters,in each of the stories,stands well on their grounds.The casting is appropriate,and each member carries out his work well.To add to the contribution to Indian cinema for completing 100 years,there is a song at the end of movie featuring many superstars of Indian Cinema.Celebrities like Shahrukh Khan,Aamir Khan,Ranbir Kapoor and many have been a part of the song.The song therefore deserves a special mentioning.

Music - The movie has five tracks,among which all according to me,are accordingly adjusted to the situation and the lyrics is too suitable.The opening song and closing song deserve special mention.Music by Amit Trivedi,and Lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Swanand Kirkire,comes out to be worth while.The pace of music however is slow.

Overall,the movie score 6.5/10.

Film review of Go Goa Gone.

Zombies,so called as the living dead people,who feed on living people and spread the infection with each  bite,have been the base of plot for many hollywood movies.But,in case of bollywood movies,this has happened for the first time with "Go Goa Gone".

Go Goa Gone,is a Zombie comedy movie,directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D K.,with Kunal Khemu, Vir Das,Anand Tiwari and Pooja Gupta in the lead roles,along with Saif Ali Khan,playing the supporting role of a Russian mafia,Boris,who is also shown to be a zombie hunter.The film is definitely remarkable,not for some extraordinary performances or music,but for introducing the concept of Zom-com into bollywood.

Now,beginning with the review:

Poster - The posters of this movie,although not in a detailed way,but still,are somehow able,to depict the main idea,behind the plot of the movie.In one of the posters,Saif is shown to hold a gun in his hand,and below is written the tagline-"I kill dead people".In another,the lead characters are shown through a hole inside a human body.So,in a way,the posters are able to create a thrilling effect and curiosity into the mind of the general audience,which is in fact it's intended purpose.So,the posters stand well on their ground,and achieve their purpose.

Title - The title of the movie,gives a little hint about the story of the movie,but in a very limited way.The main idea,which forms the crux of the movie,is not revealed in the title and hidden in a very commercial way,to attract the audience to cinema halls. Moreover,the title is attractive and attention seeking,which is required for the business of the movie.The title is hence correctly utilized and justified.

Story Line - The story line has a linear sequence,with just a little and clean twist at the end. The story begins with three friends and flat mates,Luv(Vir Das),Hardik(Kunal Khemu) and Bunny(Anand Tiwari),who besides

living together,also work in the same company. Luv and Hardik are not happy with their work,but Bunny on the other side,is quite happy and satisfied with his work.Then,a series of events unfold,which result in Luv getting ditched by his girlfriend,and Hardik getting fired from his job.Then on knowing that Bunny is going for an office work to Goa,they decide to join him and have fun on the trip,as both of them wanted a break.There  Luv meets a girl named Luna(Pooja),who tells them about a rave party to occur at night,organized by a Russian mafia,where a new kind of highly addictive drug is to be launched. Luv,Hardik and Bunny,go there,but are unable to fetch the drug due to it's high cost.However,after the party night,things take a wrong,scary turn,when the effects of the drug result in transforming humans into zombies.Then,begins a cat and mouse chase between the four surviving humans in the island and the zombies.However,Boris,a Russian mafia and zombie hunter saves the day.

The pace of the story is maintained,and the events take place one after other,in a logical way.

Acting - Saif Ali Khan,in the role of Boris,a Russian mafia and a zombie hunter,does get applauds from the audience.Despite being a supporting character,he carries a large part of the film,well over his shoulders.

Anand Tiwari,as Bunny is able to impress the audience.His role of a simple guy,who gets entangled in problems due to his friends,but still decides to help them out of the trouble is well executed by him.

Kunal Khemu and Vir Das,have acted up to the mark in this movie.They could deliver some funny,humorous and witty one liners with ease,but failed to impress in sad or emotional scenes.

Pooja Gupta,mainly used in the movie to generate the oomph factor,was able to give some performance too.Her revealing,tight outfits,which expose ample curves and cleavage,and her sensuous figure,definitely adds value to the oomph factor of this movie and re-establishes her image of a sex kitten.But,on the other hand,she also proves that she has something in her,beyond her body,to offer,in terms of acting and even provides a breath of fresh air to the audience.

Music - The film has five tracks,among which all according to me are situation demanding and refreshing. The track "Khoon Choos le",sung by Arjun Kanungo and Priya Panchal,is a very nice and meaningful song,which describes the life of employees,in a very satirical way.The lyrics of the song is just too awesome.The song "Khushamdeed",sung by Shreya Ghosal,is the best song of this movie.Other two,"Slowly slowly' and "Babaji ki Booti" are also situation demanding and nice to listen to,in a similar way.The last but not the least,is the track"I keel Dead Peepal",which is sung by Saif Ali Khan,himself.This track is also very satirical and hummable. Overall,the music scores 7.5/10.

Effects - Due to this film,being the first ever zombie film made in Hindi movie industry,the effects used were not up to the mark.The zombies do not seem to be too scary,which they should have been,made via make up and effects.The effects had chances to improve.But on a positive note,the walking style of zombies,which has earlier been revealed in many hollywood movies,has been kept intact in this movie too,and each actor performing the role of a zombie,has learnt that specific style of walking,with great determination,which can be seen onscreen.That's quite an appreciable job!!

Points to be noted - 

1)It is a little unbelievable,that drugs can convert or transform a human into zombie.So,the concept of introducing zombies appear to be forceful.This part of the whole story seems a little weak.

2)Excessive violence has been used in this movie.The movie does not intend to promote violence in any way.

So,care must be taken.

3)The movie gives a moral of avoiding cigarettes,alcohol and any kind of drugs possible in this world,in order to stay fit and live long.

The movie gets a rating of 8/10.

Film review of Ek Thi Daayan.

Movies on Witches,black magic and witchcraft are not very common in bollywood. However,in this dynamic period of Hindi film industry,where every newly arrived as well as old prominent director is intending to rapidly experiment with his work,in order to come out with something new and appreciable,Ek Thi Daayan surely makes a special mark.Directed by Kannan Iyer,Ek Thi Daayan,is a bollywood horror film,with Emraan Hashmi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kalki Koechlin and Huma Qureshi in lead roles.

Now,beginning with the review:

Title - The main purpose of the title of a movie is to forecast the main idea behind the plot of the movie,thus letting the audience know what the movie is all about.But,on the other side,care is also taken,so that the audience does not come to know too much about the movie.In case of this movie,the title "Ek Thi Daayan", clearly indicates the fact,that the film is based on witches and witchcraft.But,the title does not let the audience know more of the movie.Hence,curiosity is generated and preserved.So,in a way,the title appropriately justifies it's purpose. 

Story Line - The story line of the movie is executed more or less sequentially,with little leaps in a few or more parts.The story begins with introducing Bobo(Emraan),a very famous and successful magician and illusionist,who is at the peak of his career,and is planning to get settled,after marrying his beautiful girlfriend Tamara(Huma). But,unknown to even his girlfriend,he is continuously being haunted by voices from his past life.Scary hallucinations about his dead little sister,are casting a dark shadow on his life,threatening his own sanity.Left with no option,he seeks psychiatric help from Dr.Palit(Rajatava Dutta),and is then hypnotized to his distant past, when it all started.

The scene then shifts to his childhood,when after reading from a book,he had accidentally opened the door to hell,thus letting a witch enter into his life.The witch in the form of Diana(Konkona) seduced his father,and finally killed his father along with his sister,who was then only 6 years old,in order to restore her dark powers,on the night of the red moon,which was coincidentally the witch's birthday.But,remembering that the power of a witch lies in her pony tail,Bobo quickly got hold of a dagger,and cut her ponytail.However,on the verge of death,the witch had promised to come back.

The scene then again shifts to present and marks the entry of Lisa Dutt(Kalki),whom Bobo predicts to be the witch.His prediction is turned into belief,when Lisa buys his old apartment,and his girlfriend is seriously injured on the occasion of house warming party.

Then more serious events follow,accompanied by death of Dr.Palit and disappearance of Zubin,adopted child of Bobo and at the climax,it is revealed that Tamara is the original witch and not Lisa.However,Bobo coming to know of his special powers,finally overpowers both Diana and Tamara,thus saving Zubin and there arrives a happy ending for the movie.

Some elements of the story seem to be inspired from the 1968 thriller "Rosemary's Baby".

Acting - Emraan Hashmi proves his worth once again in this movie.A large part of the movie rests on his shoulder,and he successfully carries it.He is surely "The Dark Horse" of bollywood.

Konkona Sen Sharma,in the role of Diana,seems to be too legit.Her facial expressions at some particular scenes are scary enough,may be less due to lack of special techniques,but she is able to portray herself into the shoes of a witch with confidence and ease.

Huma Qureshi,in the role of Tamara,a caring girlfriend,who later turns out to be a witch,does her role surprisingly well enough.However,her witch avatar is not scary enough.

Kalki Koechlin,in a very minor role of Lisa Dutt,is also able to impress.

Rajatava Dutta and Pawan Malhotra in their supporting roles,also score pretty well.

Music - The music of the movie,although does not score too well,is proficient enough.The creepy track at the start and the romantic cum creepy track at the end,are not too hummable,but are able to spread the fear.

The track "Yaaram" seems to be the only hummable track,and the most popular song of this movie. Overall,the music scores 3/5.

Special Effects - The special effects applied in this movie are not up to the mark.There were ample chances of improvement and use of better technology,to create better effects.Neither Konkona nor Huma,seem to be too scary as in terms of being a witch.The thrill is lost someway in between,and the movie becomes just a time pass,towards the end.The Climax also,is not as thrilling and scary,as it should have been.In a nutshell, special effects were not so effective and could be improved.

The movie gets a rating of  7/10.

Film review of Jolly LLB.

Subhash Kapoor,who is generally known for writing as well as directing satirical comical dramas,comes up with another masterpiece work after "Phas Gaye Re Obama",in the name of "Jolly LLB".Based on the 1999 hit and run case of Sanjeev Nanda,,the movie shows the story of a struggling lawyer,who comes to Delhi and as fate has for him in store,takes over a very high profile case involving a hit and run driver.He files a PIL in court against his own idol's case,and thus begins his journey against one of the strongest lawyers in the country.The movie has been executed in a very comical way,shifting to a serious environment whenever necessary,and the humorous touch that it offers,makes the movie more interesting,realistic and lively.

Poster - The movie is a courtroom comedy movie that shows the events taking place inside a courtroom in a very comical and hilarious way.In the main poster of the movie,we come to see two people dressed as lawyers voicing against each other and the blind folded lady representing justice stands between them,in order to separate them.The tagline used is "We Believe in Justice".Although,the poster is a little clumsy,but still it is somehow able to depict the main idea behind the plot of the movie.So,overall the poster achieves success in delivering it's intention to the audience.

Title - The title of the movie clearly speaks about the main plot of the movie,which by all means is related to law and court rooms.The main lead character,so introduced as Jolly(Jagdish Tyagi),is clearly shown to be an LLB,whose actions and decisions form the main crux of the story.However,the director has very cleverly not given any hint of what his probable actions or decisions might be,through the title,in order to draw audience to the theatres.

Story Line - The story starts at Delhi,depicting a night incident,where a car driver fully drunk,driving with full speed,runs the car over a footpath,resulting in death of many street dwellers.The scene then shifts to Meerut,where Arshad Warsi,is introduced as Jagdish Tyagi aka Jolly to the audience.The film then shows,his life as a struggling lawyer and how he faces problems every day.He then decides to move to Delhi,to pursue a better career.There by fate,he takes over the high profile case involving a hit and run driver,against his own idol lawyer,Tejinder Rajpal(Boman Irani).Although,he initially does it for fame and to earn money,but later a series of events, makes him serious and fight the case sincerely.Thus begins his fight for justice against one of the strongest lawyers in the country.

Acting - Arshad Warsi,as Jolly, a struggling lawyer,who fights for justice and in the end appears winner,is able to impress the audience with his acting skills.He also deserves special mention for some funny,witty and humorous one liners,that he delivers with ease in the movie.He is quickly able to change his expressions from comical to a serious one,as to when his character demands.

Boman Irani as Tejinder Rajpal,a high profile greedy lawyer,as well as the main antagonist of the story does his job well.He proves his versatility once again.

Amrita Rao,as Sandhya,Jolly's girl friend and a school teacher,has very little scope of acting.But still she chalks out her role well.Her glamorous and sweet avatar,adds value to her on screen presence.

Saurabh Shukla,as justice Tripathi,does ample justice to his role.The rest of supporting cast,is also well enough and carry their role well.

Music - The music of this film is decent and the movie comprises of five tracks,all of whom are decent up to the mark.The music scores 6/10.

Overall,the movie scores 8.5/10.                                                                                

Film review of Shootout at Wadala.

Films being made based on real life incidents,have become a common trend today.Director Sanjay Gupta,

has implemented this trend of making movies,into his recent work,titled as "Shootout at Wadala".Based on the book "Dongri to Dubai" by Hussain Zaidi,this movie is a bollywood crime thriller,which dramatizes the first ever registered shootout encounter by Mumbai police,on January 11,1982,near the Ambedkar College Junction in Wadala,Mumbai,where notorious gangster Manya Surve was shot dead.

The film was released world wide on 3rd May,and did fair business at box office.

Now,starting with the review,I would like to focus on following points:

Title - The title of the movie is used as a symbol or logo to dramatize the events that took place during and before the shootout and focuses on the strategies made by Mumbai Police,to eliminate a notorious gangster

named Manya Surve. Manya is shown to be a good hearted guy,who gradually becomes a notorious gangster due to circumstances,which force him to do so.The title,although quite commonly predictable and not extraordinary or out of league,is able to give a glance of the subject matter of the movie and the series of events that took place at that time.Hence,the title in itself is able to establish it's purpose.

Story Line - The movie starts with an injured Manya(John Abraham) being taken to a local hospital accompanied by ACP Afaaque Baaghran(Anil Kapoor),and Manya narrating his story to him.The scene then

shifts to the beginning,where it all started. Manya a studious,innocent,good hearted student,whose brother is a gangster,is arrested for helping his brother in a murder,while in reality,he was just trying to save him.In jail,his brother gets killed,and he befriends another prisoner named Munir(Tusshar Kapoor),thereafter killing his brother's assassin.Then one day,he along with Munir,escapes from jail,and after geting into a feud with a powerful gangster named Zubair Imtiaz Haksar(Manoj Bajpai) and his brother Dilawar(Sonu Sood), forms his own gang of criminals,thus spreading terror across Mumbai.He slowly emerges out to be a potential

threat to the reigning gangsters.He eliminates Bhaskar(Ranjeet),the don who killed his brother,as well as the inspector who had arrested him.However,his ruthless attitude grabs police attention and he gets added to the list of criminals,police want to eliminate.Under the orders of the then police commissioner,ACP Baaghran along with Inspector Raja Ambat(Ronit Roy),using Vidya Joshi(Kangna Ranaut),Manya's girlfriend,as a token,shoots Manya in a registered shootout encounter,near the Ambedkar College Junction at Wadala,Mumbai.

The scene then comes back to present,and Manya is shown to succumb to his injuries,finally leading to his death.

Acting - John Abraham in the role of the notorious gangster Manya Surve,does impress the audience.He moves out of his stereotype action roles,and proves his mettle in acting too.He had to prepare well for this role,and had visited Manya's classmates to get a closer idea about him.

Anil Kapoor,as the tough inspector who always abides by his rules and laws,and punishes wrong doers whenever necessary,without even caring for his own life,also stands up to the mark.His performance in the film has been one of his strongest performances ever.For the role,he had to prepare a body to match that of Abraham.

Kangna,as Vidya Joshi fails to impress.Although,in some scenes her expressions seem suitably well,but worthless in others.She could not make out any difference in her expressions,as required for her character.Her expressions as well as dialogue delivery seemed to be the same every time,be it for an angry,sad or joyous scene,with no depth or style changes in it.

Ronit Roy,Sonu Sood and Manoj Bajpai carry their work well over their shoulders.However,in case of Tusshar kapoor,he still needs to learn acting and grow up.

Action and Romance - The action of this movie is well choreographed and has no strong violence associated with it.However,in the scene where Manya kills the inspector,by burning him to death,a little of violence is shown,but that mainly,to demonstrate the ruthlessness of the character,Manya. The action scenes

are realistic and not unreal,unlike some old masala movies.They display the type of action that mainly occurs between street thugs and are choreographed in a very logical way.

The romantic and lusty relation that Manya and Vidya share in this movie,needs a special mention.Both John and Kangna,have been able to ignite the passion required for their roles onscreen,thus setting the silver screen on fire.Moreover,the director has given love and sex equal priority and in the intense lovemaking scenes,we get to see a glimpse of it.

Music - The music of the film is composed by Anu Malik,and accompanied by Mustafa Zahid,Anand Raj Anand. The movie comprises of 7 tracks,amongst which three are item songs.The item song Laila,featuring former Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone,in revealing outfits,is the most popular song of the movie and is able to raise temperatures.The other two featuring Priyanka Chopra and Sophie Chowdhury could not be so much popular in either ways.The romantic track in the movie also gained reputation.However,the pace of music is a little slow and the songs seem to be prolonged in the way.

Controversies - Prior to release,the film had been a subject matter of a large number of controversies.It is quite obvious for such a film based on a story involving so many gangsters to ignite controversies.Deviation of facts from the original incident was also rumoured to have taken place.But,in spite of all that,the controversies were taken care of and the film was released after a short delay with no such big problem to handle.

Overall,the acting of John Abraham and Anil Kapoor gets a rating of 8/10 from me,but the whole movie gets 7.5/10.

Film review of Goynar Baksho.

Recently bengali film industry has emerged to prove it's worth and ability of making good films,by introducing the concept of "Parallel Cinema".Nowadays, at par with the main commercial films,parallel films can also be seen taking over a large part of the bengali cinema crowd.Some famous actors like Parambrata,Rudranil are somewhat directly related to the parallel film circle,and form an integral part of it.This steady emerging circle of parallel films has definitely added to the glory of bengali film industry.

Goynar Baksho,directed by respectful director Aparna Sen,winner of 3 national film awards and 8 international awards,can be treated as a very prestigious contribution of her,to bengali cinema .Inspired from

a story named "Rashmonir Sonadana",written by famous bengali author,Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, this film exhibits the tale of three generations of women and their changing positions in the society.The women are seen to be related by a box of jewels,handed down from one generation to the next.

Now,Starting with the review of the movie,point wise:

Title - As written above,the story depicts the tale of three generations of women and their changing positions in the society,all related by a box of jewels,handed down from one generation to the next.The box of jewels forms the main crux of the story and it is the box only,that takes the movie ahead causing leaping of generations.Hence,the title "Goynar Baksho",in english meaning "Box of jewels" is satisfactorily justified.

Poster - The main theatrical poster of the movie is shown as below-

                                                     

It clearly shows an old woman or a ghost maybe,telling something to a young girl in whispers and a box kept in front of the girl.So,much to the prediction of bengali audience,the box can easily be guessed as the main crux of the story,thus establishing the fact that the poster is successful in spreading it's purpose.

Story Line - Konkona Sen Sharma plays the role of Shomlata,one of the lead characters, as well as the narrator.The story starts with Rashmoni(Played by Moushumi Chatterjee),a girl who gets married at a very early age and soon her husband dies,forcing her to come back,where she belongs.The story then takes a huge leap and shifts to the time when Rashmoni has become old,and her grandnephew has married recently, introducing Shomlata (Konkona) as her grand niece to the audience.Meanwhile,Konkona's voice in the background as narrator helps the audience in understanding the events.The idea about Rashmoni's box of jewels,is first introduced by the narrator,and then we get to see it more,as the story unfolds.Soon,Rashmoni

dies leaving the box of jewels to her grandniece,to take care of.She turns into a ghost and keeps coming back to see whether her box is alright.A friendly relation develops between Rashmoni(Ghost) and Shomlata.

Gradually then a series of events take place,leading the movie forward.

The final part of the movie revolves around Chaitali(Srabanti Chatterjee) as she grows up,and gives a back drop of the 1971 Bangladesh liberation war,that breaks out in East Pakistan.The 1971 Bangladesh Genocide

incident and it's adverse effects are shown in the movie subsequently.

The story line carries out all the details required with mild perfection and fine finish and also focuses on the idea of matriarchy as well as women empowerment and revolution.

Acting - Moushumi Chatterjee was excellent in delivering her role of Rashmoni. Rashmoni couldn't have been any one else than her.The character of a matriarch woman with a very deep,logical and advanced thinking was successfully fulfilled by her. Konkona Sen Sharma as a naive,timid,stammering wife,who has no large demands from her husband,but just wants her time,does pretty well in her task too.In the particular scene,where she comes to know of her husband's extramarital affair, as well as in the scene,where she herself gets attracted to an outside stranger,she carries out her work well and her expressions were approximately accurate. Srabanti as a young Rashmoni,who gets sexually attracted to a labourer, but couldn't quench her thirst,carries the role well on her shoulders.The role of Chaitali,a modern young girl,with modern thinking,is also carried out well by her.

Paran Bandopadhyay,Piyush Ganguly,Saswata Chatterjee,Kaushik Sen and Aparajita Auddy,also a group of versatile actors,playing supporting roles in this movie,carry out their work well enough. Saswata as the cheating husband who later suffers a change of heart and Kaushik as Rafique,the handsom poet and revolutionist who falls in love with Shomlata,deserve special mention.

Music - The music of this film is stupendous.The tracks selected are well enough as well as refreshing.

The ghostly track as well as the revolutionary track "Sonar bangla ami tomay bhalobashi" are just heart grabbing according to me.The poem used at the end(Simantini) is also refreshing and touching to the heart.

The scene of a bangladeshi revolutionary being carried amidst kaash flowers during twilight,just adds ample value to the revolutionary track mentioned above.The music scores 8/10.

Pace - The pace of the movie is slow,tending to get into each and every details as mentioned in the original story.The duration of the movie is about two and a half hours,which is long enough to make the audience feel bored, in spite of the movie being such inspirational,motivational as well as realistic.

However,in spite of slow pace,the movie turns out to be a pretty good movie that focuses on woman empowerment and gives a very good moral at the end.

Overall,The movie scores 8/10.

Film review of Nautanki Saala.

Remake of old bollywood films,as well as films of other languages is a quite common trend today.While mostly in bollywood,we come across remakes of old tamil and telugu as well as some english movies,it is for the first time a rare case has happened,that a bollywood movie is inspired from a french film.Director Rohan Sippy has taken the trend or remaking further,by making "Nautanki Saala",which may be regarded as the desi adaptation of french comedy "Apres Vous(2003)".Although inspired,but still the movie holds it's foot quite strong in concept,acting as well as music. Ayushmann Khurana,the lead actor,has also sung a song for

the movie.Overall,the movie is definitely a one time watch.

Now,starting with the review of the movie,I would like to focus on a few points:

Title - The movie is based on buddy bonding and friendship of two people,so depicted as the lead characters of the movie.The location of this movie is mainly a theatre,where a play of Ramayan is being executed daily,and RP(Ayushmann) is the director of this play.So,location wise,the play forms the main basis

of the movie.Besides,it is shown in the movie,that our life is also a play,where we each play a different character.Always the play does not have happy ending,characters submerge into each other,but still the show goes on.Hence,the title is justified.

Story line - The story begins with RP(Ayushmann),the lead character,narrating his story to a mental consultant,about how he had saved a stranger from suicide one night and brought him home,and then how his helpful nature landed him in trouble.Finally,he lost everyone starting from his girlfriend,the girl he fell in love with as well as his newly turned best friend(the man whom he saved from suicide).The story line has a pretty good concept and the sequence of scenes changes in a logical pattern.So,in a way the sequential story line establishes it's point.

Acting - Ayushmann Khurana,the lead actor plays the role of RP,a play director,helpful nature guy who saves a man from committing suicide and brings him home,finally,landing in deep trouble.He falls in love with a girl,while making her convince to re-establish her relation with her old boyfriend.The loving but hesitation  feeling which his character needed to portray onscreen,was successfully exhibited by him.

Kunal Roy Kapoor,plays the role of Mandar, a guy who was about to commit suicide but was saved by RP.Later they became the best of best friends,but parted ways in the end.According to me,he could fulfill his role well enough.Specially,in the play performing scenes,where he acts to be a nerd,with no knowledge of acting,his expressions as well as performance were just stupendous.

Pooja,Gaelyn and Evelyn as newcomers,fulfill their criteria as fresh faces and it is their onscreen freshness also,that to some extent keeps the movie interesting.Overall,their acting was up to the mark but still there is a long way to go.

So,considering the acting of all the lead as well as supporting characters,I give them 6/10.

Music - The music of the movie is well enough.The pace of music is also maintained.The songs have a sufi domination along with punjabi lyrics in some of them.The music scores 7.5/10.

Points to be noted -

1)When Chitra(Gaelyn) threw the biriyani,out of the door,fresh from the cooking vessel,it should have been hot enough to cause burn.But,Mandar(Kunal) felt no heat.

2)For a play director,surviving somehow,it was illogical to show him buy a flower order worth Rs 25,000/-

just to have a minor enquiry.

So,keeping all these points in mind,I would rate the film 7/10.

Film review of Bengali movie Shabdo(Sound).

Shabdo,in english meaning "sound" was,is and always will be one of the best films ever directed in the history of bengali cinema. Kaushik Ganguly,a director of bengali film industry,is always known for his direction of different,unique and intensified films which deals with ever unique story lines.This film has marked a big revolution in bengali cinema,by winning the 60th national Film Award for the best feature film in bengali. After

watching this film,I personally felt that had this film not won the award,it would have been really a big insult to the prestigious work of kaushik ganguly as well as all the actors of the film.

Now,I begin to write the review of this film,which perhaps is one of the best films,I have ever seen.

Poster -

                                                     

The poster of this film as uploaded above,clearly depicts the lead actor Ritwick Chakraborty,who plays the role of Tarak,a sound artist lost in the virtual world of sound effects.It also shows that this problem he faces,goes on increasing with time,thus giving a hint of the possible story line of the movie.The poster clearly emerges a winner in depicting the idea of sound making as well as a unique problem faced by tarak,the lead character and a sound artist or foley artist.

Title - The main subject matter of the movie is sound and a very unique problem faced due to sound,by the lead character,Tarak. Tarak played by Ritwick Chakraborty,was a sound artist who gradually gets lost in the world of recreation of sound effects.So,the main matter of the movie is displayed in the title,which therefore executes it's purpose.The title hence is justified.

Story Line - The story line of the movie,as expected to be,accordingly with the works of Kaushik Ganguly, is unique,interesting as well as seat grabbing,which will make you go to the cinema halls and watch the movie till the end.It focuses on Tarak,a foley artist who gradually gets lost into the world of virtual sound amplification.He slowly becomes numb towards human voices and begins to focus more on the recreation of sound effects of his sorroundings. Director kaushik Ganguly,brings the problem out with justification,and also signifies a solution,out of this situation in a very unique way.So,the story line deserves 10/10.

Acting - All the actors did a wonderful job in this movie. Ritwick Chakraborty seemed to be the ideal cast for Tarak,without whom Tarak was impossible.He was efficiently able to bring out the problem faced by the foley artist with his acting skills.His expressions seemed to be so good and suiting to the scenes.

Raima Sen,who played Tarak's wife,had not much chance to prove herself. In spite of that,she was able to bring out the sad,realistic wife who is helpless at her husband's condition but finds no way to save him.

Churni Ganguly and Victor Banerjee did their work well.Even Srijit Mukherji,who is professionally a director

did an excellent acting in this movie. Kaushik Ganguly in a special appearance role,also carried out his work well.Overall,the acting by each was fabulous.

Music and Sound effects - Although the movie has no songs,but still the background music scores evenly.

At many parts of the film,the background music plays a very significant role and takes the movie forward.

The sound effects are too awesome,influencing as well as adding value to the acting of Ritwick. In many scenes,the sound effects made the audience understand the problem of Ritwick as well as give idea about how sounds effects are recreated in studios.

Direction - The direction of Kaushik Ganguly,at par or even more ahead of his previous works was,is and will always be very much appreciated.He could easily bring out an unique problem related to sound and also suggested a solution,that too in a very unique way.The award received by the film was obviously deserving for it and had the film not being given the award,it would have been really sad.The arrangement of scenes in a logical way,back ground music,stunning sound effects,casting as well the unexpected climax was too good of the work of the director.His direction gets a deserving 10/10.

Pace - The only thing lagging in this movie was pace.The film seemed to be too prolonged,getting into details of every moment and every situation.The pace of the movie was definitely too slow.Some scenes could be easily edited out of the movie or shortened to co-operate with the reel time.Instances of the same problem were repeated many times,out of which,all according to me were not necessary.It may have been used to signify the impact of the problem faced by the lead character,but made the reel time much prolonged. However,on the contrary,the climax at the end was not only unexpected but also stupendous.It added improvement to the pace of the movie as well as made the audience clap in the director's favor.

Overall,the movie gets a rating of 9/10.

Film review of Commando-The one man army.

To begin with,I am a little late to put up the review.This is my first ever review,that I am writing in this blog.Hope that everybody likes it.

So,here I present the review of the movie Commando-The/A one man army.

Title - The title definitely suits the film.It's all about the jaw dropping stunts performed by Vidyut Jamwal,the lead actor of the film.In the movie,he plays a commando held captive by chinese authorities.The film focusses

lightly on the commandos of Indian army,and how hard and strenous training they undergo,for the sake of the country.So,the title is fully justified.

Story line - The story line seems to be a little old aged for the 21st century.It's like the same stereotype action-romance movie,where the hero with all the courage of the world,in his heart,is set out to free his girl from the clutches of society as well as defeat the villain in a final combat.However,inspired from Hong-Kong films,the film shows a few of close combat fight scenes with some junior stunt artists,that displays the martial arts skills of the lead actor,Vidyut.

Music - The film comprises of four songs,among which two of them depict the romantic relation between the lead actors.The item song towards end of the movie,intending to add spice,just makes the film more long

and prolonged.The other song was to depict the feel of love that the villain i.e. the main negative character

feels for the heroine,the main female character.Except the item song,the rest three are good to listen to.

The soundtracks have an extensive use of punjabi rhymes,along with a little dominance of sufi voice backing it.

On a scale of 10,the music scores 6.5.

Action - Well,anything to watch out this movie for,is action.The jaw widening stunts performed by Vidyut Jamwal,without the use of any cables attached was simply mind blowing.The actor who played the role of the chinese assassin was also superb in his work.The three fight scenes in the movie were very well choreographed,and it seemed to be so real,while in reality it is not possible.The end fight scene between Vidyut and the chinese assassin was way too good,which made us feel like some hollywood action movie.Overall,the movie scores 10/10 on action.

Acting - Apart from the mind blowing stunts of Vidyut Jamwal,this movie also gives a chance to see the acting ability of Jaideep Ahlawat,the main villain of the story.He may be regarded as the pace of the movie.It is he who takes the movie forward.His character AK 74,a notorious criminal who is deeply in love with Simrit,the female lead character played by debutant Pooja Chopra,is very well executed by him.He could easily show the expression of anger,wildness,laugh as well as the ferocious aggressiveness,which his character needed.

Pooja Chopra,had nothing much to offer in terms of acting.She played the role of a bubbly punjabi girl,who became a victim of circumstances.Her facial expressions and acting was however,successful in bringing the bubbly girl within herself.The scene where Jaideep kills her parents in front of her could not take out her expressions as it had to be.

Vidyut on the same note,had not too much acting to offer.The heavy dialogue deliveries he made were executed in his own unique style.

The actor who played Jaideep's assistant in crime was also efficient in his work.

Points to be noted -

1)The scenes were shot not in a serial order,as depicted.So,make up should have been taken care of.The hair style of Vidyut frequently changed throughout the movie.His beard also grew up and vanished within seconds.

2)It was really illogical,to show the chinese army escort a prisoner,just using a single army jeep with no extra security.

3)This type of action is only possible in movies.Even reputed martial artists like Jet li,has said that a gun can make years of martial arts training of no use in front of it.So,no one should ever try to imitate it.

Overall,the movie scores 7 out of 10.
