Paa... :D

I had to write a review about this movie because after a real real long time a bollywood movie has really done the trick and I walked out of the theater satisfied... Thanks to some great direction and story written by R. Balakrishnan and some awesome screen play, also the cinematography of PC Sriram is simply mind blowing... The cherry on the cake was actually the maestro Ilayaraja, his background music has the flavor to the movie...
The story actually revolves around this boy Auro who has this genetic disorder Progeria played by Big B brilliantly... Though Abhishek has played the second fiddle he has done a brilliant job playing his role as a politician... Vidya balan has again done a great job playing Auro's mother... Not to forget Arundhati nag who plays Auro's grandma and Vidya balans mom and to me she is the chuppa rustum of the movie... Also the kids friends of Auro have been portrayed beautifully especially this kid Vishnu... All this credit goes to the director who has steered his ship well and with great success...
Some of the scenes that totally touched me was the ending scene where Big B just talks with his eyes.... It is just too brilliantly played... Time and again the old warhorses like Big B prove again why they deserve such accolades...
Some bad things about the movie were the introduction of the cast and crew by Jaya Bachchan was totally uncalled for, also the marketing of the movie gives away clues of what the movie is about this must be taken care of... Also some of the stuff like what Abhishek does has been exaggerated and could have been avoided.. The lenght of the movie is another concern...
But then overall a real, more than satisfying experience in the theater for a Bollywood movie... Also the crew and caste must be given credit to have made a movie like this amidst all the crap that has come out of bollywood in the past year... I would give the movie 4 out 5 mainly for 4 reasons...
1) Big B and Vidya Balan's performance.
2) R Balakrishnan Direction and story.
3) PC Sriram's Cinematography.
4) Last but not the least Maestro Ilayaraja's music.

To end the movie review on a comic note if R Balakrishna made the movie in tamil then what would it be called... Yenna koduma sir ithu... :D Kudos to the guy who did the morphing got the pic by mail earlier last week... :D
Cheers till next time... Enjoy madi...

Up up and away..... :)

Well here I am again to write another review.. I was feeling all sad that my last 2 posts were about sad things and wanted to write something good and happy... Sunday afternoon lying lazily I decided to watch the animated movie UP and that was the one of the best decisions I made the whole day... :) I had missed this movie earlier in the theatres due to various reasons but then better late than never... :)

To talk about the movie, the way the movie starts is just too beautiful... The movie goes in a symphony and you just start moving with the music... The way a guy and a girl fall in love because of the common interests they have.. How they save up money to go to South america but because of some or the other family reason they use their savings and before they realise they are old in the daily struggle of life... The melody with which the story moves on is just too much to handle... :) Every scene is so moving and it just makes you feel so connected...

Then the whole gas balloon thing carrying the house was nicely pictured, it might sound a little stupid but then one must remember that its an animated movie... The rest of the movie carries on forward with the other characters playing their roles beautifully with some real good humour which made me laugh like a kid... :)

Overall a beautifully made movie which left me totally satisfied and happy with the whole story... Pixar just out do themselves each and every time they release a new movie... Way to go guys... :)

2012 Disaster of a Disaster movie.... :(

Ah here i am writing my first movie review on my blog.. :D
The fact that I am writing my first review excites me but the point that the movie turned out to be crappy totally makes me unhappy... It was one movie i was looking forward for from a very long time... But like everything in 2009 the movie just let me down and turned out to be a total disaster..... :(

I am surprised that Some people actually ended up liking the movie.. I got a headache watching the damn movie... Some of the bad points of the movie...

1) The movie was totally unreal.
2) The scenes were so repetitive the same old scenes were shown some 15 different times.
3) The movie was a 3 hours long and the show was not appealing...
4) The story was stitched well.

Now for the good points..

1) The problem was found by an indian and the ship was built by the chinese now thats spot on...
2) The way Yuri starts the Bentley saying "Engine start" that was damn cool and i was the only guy in the theatre laughing and clapping..
3) The CGI is pretty good..

Overall i feel the movie was a waste of time and a disaster of a disaster movie... :( Another movie that let the vieweres down atleast me.. :(
