Born into a conservative Muslim family, is the oldest Zainab half a dozen girls Hakim Saab (Manza Zehbai). Quest for Father's a male successor of his family is upset when a son was born, but with feminine traits. As the son (Amr Kashmir) Saifee grew up among the sisters do not know about his father's presence in the family.

Almost all the questions that emerged from the conformist characterization of father figure. And with the prospect of the film only focused on domestic issues, the director refrains from giving any political overtones to Hakim's characterization, and attributes his extremism, his Orthodox upbringing and bigoted beliefs. His fanatical philosophy make him renounce his findings from a plebeian pimp even in desperate times. You hate his chauvinistic attitude as much as you pity for his destitute condition. While he is the sole breadwinner of an expanded female-dominated family, his family physician profession losing charm and customers at a time when medical science has much evolved. So while on the one hand you hate the fact that he't allow their daughters to find employment, you will sympathize with him for having to bow to expands's requirements.

Not A Love Story - Read the Review and Decide

How the hell could cause two healthy young ambitious to kill a man, cut its members into several pieces and try to dispose of her body in the dense jungle?

"It is a love story" is continuing to unravel the mystery of human nature and to take extreme measures when the edge.

This is the story of fear, and sober life changing Anusha Chawla (Mahi Gill), a small town girl with big dreams of Bollywood, stop being complicit in a horrible crime.

Actually left their mouths open.

Yes, it's normal Anusha dreams and how they can be drastically undermined within a few critical days, which is central to the compelling drama, often unpleasant, but always fascinating.

Ramu camera often is more frenzied than the mad acts of the protagonists.

The framework is used as a vicious game field to describe the turbulent Mindspace pairs of lead.

Gill and the journey of love Dobriyal desperate unthinkable crime is identified with a kind of shock that is otherwise undermined the dramatic sighs and gasps as Hindi cinema is generally used to drill the crime dramas.

Bodyguard - A Hit Movie Review

For three years, each has a film Eid Salman Khan has been one of the prizes of the festival. While last year we had "Dabangg" which despite its simplicity was layered on it, this year we are treated to "The Bodyguard", no patch "Dabangg." Despite this, it is enough to keep the attention of the festive crowd.

Beautiful bodyguards Singh (Salman Khan) is a good man, honest steel, which is faithful to Sartaj (Raj Babbar). Sartaj, asked to protect her precious daughterDivya(Kareena Kapoor) day and night.

Hermosa doing their jobs diligently, but without realizing he serenades Divya Chhaya under a pseudonym by phone, and have fallen in love with him. Things get out of control when Sartaj enemies trying to kill Divya while trying Bonito Sartaj think of kidnapping his daughter.

"Bodyguard", conceptually, is based on the type of stories that have been popular Imtiaz Ali - sweet stories, love soft, where the central theme of sacrificial love. But while Imtiaz Ali reveals a certain pictorial subtlety, despite the melodramatic nature of his films, means "Bodyguard" Siddique director had no such skill to pull this off.

The result is a film that is funny slapstick moments, but the problem area is the surprising twist at the end. It is a goal that does not gel with the pace of the rest of the film and appears cooked. This is especially true because the director does Siddique advance or pending before the possibility of a character to do what he does at the end.

However, it would be a problem with the urban public. With regard to rural viewers are perhaps extreme, very good and might actually work for the film. After all, there are not enough fantasy elements in the rest of the movie like when Salman to go in the opposite direction on a train, jumping a moving train in a different direction. If you can digest what you can do the same for the final.

A little more effort on the editing table have eased a lot of things.

Salman fans have much to celebrate. Not only get to see their favorite enemies role in the pulp, but also get to see his well toned torso, which ultimately revealed by water jets blast away shirt, as the wind blew meter lap Marilyn Monroe.

Receiving Rajat Rawail provides comic relief of the film not only with his antics, but fun messages on their shirts as a '6 pack Coming Soon 'stuck on his stomach fat.

Salman is his well sculpted himself and Kareena is as good as the script requires it, not much. The music is catchy, especially Himmesh Reshamiya wrote the song "I love you."

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara - Review of Latest Bolywood Movie

Some of the film experience can be summarized in a few lines. Others may take longer. This may be difficult to determine. And try to give it a slot or form to another form, but a visual would take a while to do.

As a dealer money workaholic, obsessed (Hrithik Roshan), Happy-Go-research-for-his-father joker (Farhan Akhtar) and about to be married-nice-guy ( Abhay Deol) is out of the journey through the lush locationally Spain (ummm, graphics eyecandy complete and attractive), we follow suit.

Without trying to create a spectacular road blocks and U-turns during the road trip, Zoya Akhtar makes us so involved in the drama and adventure of the trio, we gradually forget the players and see the characters that 'they are so smooth and solid play.

Oh yes, ladies and take the back seat. Despite Katrina Kaif Laila, a beautiful diving instructor who teaches diving Hrithik Seoul, by a gracious space for itself in boys, we wonder how he managed to be heard in a film that celebrates the spirit of Male bonding at its best with a solid color and noise.

Oh yes, we forgot! This film is directed by boys a woman! The feminine touch is far Zoya Akhtar seen in the direction. It leaves you wondering if you treat the opposite of femininity, and misogyny that the government snob desi women is seen to follow, has disappeared while we were looking for.

ZNMD coming to adulthood of the film on several levels. It celebrates physicality and beauty of the place, and a deep connection with the character of the mind, without apology or explanation. Believe me. I looked. I could not spot even a single face unpleasant or topogrphy its entire length and breath of this beautiful film.

Yes, the surface is wonderful. But as the soul. Zoya, God bless his aesthetic, sucking us in the beauty of the moment is to give us a reason to believe the most valuable truths that life is shrouded in misery. ZNMD glorify. Underwater or in the air thousands of feet above sea level, moments of tenderness are stapled in the spirit of camaraderie warming. They just happen.

The moment when Hrithik finds love under the stars and Katrina, or when Farhan Akhtar finally meets his biological father (Naseeruddin Shah, scenic cameo convincing), or blistered a breathtaking moment of truth when, after an episode of man hugs the original episodes, we suddenly understand the friction September Hrithik, Farhan friendship ... They are the masters of silent theater Strokes have written about the impact, but an integral part of the trip, we have so readily and enthusiastically with the trio.

Technically, the film lives up to its art in his sleeve. Carlos Catalan film captures the pain and pleasure to Spain to make people want to take tourism. Yeah, the movie seems to pick up. But not the characters Find the bearings in the world, which is a parody of the beauty of nature. Publisher Subayi Anand does not cut the film. He sculpts the material forms, the jeweler will want to emulate, if only he knew how.

Each actor seeks brand was born. Hrithik stuffed-shirt you would have been almost self-parodic thing is not so sincere. Abhay Deol is a reactor defects. But it is Farhan Akhtar who steals the most part, lines and moments. It is in his element, and a sign that develops during the trip. Oh yes, he can mouth his father Javed Akhtar's poetry in the mind.

Laila Katrina Kaif is a kind of synthesis of mysticism and sincerity, we had seen for some time long ago, Leela Naidu. This film marks the coming kaif in adulthood. Kalki in a relatively short brings a kind of sarcastic affectation in the proceedings. His character may suffer ridicule. He takes in his stride.

Harry Potter - Amazing film and StunNing Review

On November 18, 2001 I began my review of the first Harry Potter Film:"It's difficult to distinguish the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from the Harry Potter phenomenon - the astronomical budget, manufacturers'global agreement with Coca-Cola, the billions of dollars of its assets, the players'complaints of being exploited by Hollywood, the statement by the director, Chris Columbus, JK Rowling JK's novel, worthy of respect given to Shakespeare. endless opinions on its importance, ranging from the world's first customer in Brooklyn Beckham told the newspaper moralist Melanie Phillips"

A decade later, we reached the end of what today we call"path ". Rowling's seven novels have been turned into eight films that lasts about 20 hours to see (or 36 hours if you see the extra DVD), and the phenomenon is infinitely greater. A generation of readers and viewers have grown up with glasses, wand-waving wizard and saves the world from Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, and the final look of the film coincides with the birth of fourth child Beckham justified given the second name"Seven"which may well be the number of books in the sacred text that his father's former Manchester United shirt.

There is an experiment in early Deathly Hallows: Part 2 for clarification, when a goblin asks"How did you get the sword ", with reference to the Excalibur-like weapon from the bottom of a lake Deathly Hallows: Del 1."It's complicated,"answer a desperately tired, unwashed Harry, who quickly dispenses with all that can be described as a summary of previous events, so people who don't know their Horcrux by Dementors to both Muggles through.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows interrupted the fun fantasy that involves its employees who have raised the eccentric previous films, and takes his sense of mission very seriously. There are a lot of talk about the threat of imminent death, and acceptance of it, to come to terms with our own dark sides. And 'even brandishing a deadly spell, almost cheerful rendition of Manichaeism and the politics of Armageddon. Absolute evil must meet with the ugliness without character, in this case, Voldemort Ralph Fiennes s'looks like the inmates of an extreme burning, his English Patient reborn.

Last two points. First, the film is thankfully free songs, both comic and sentimental. Secondly, when this epic odyssey began, I left the question of whether Harry Potter would last as The Wizard of Oz. So my response was:"Most likely ". I 'm \ now much less secure.

The Change-Up - Movie Review

The first five minutes of the Change-Up-a terrible sight to the world of baby-care end, complete with a superstructure for the most grotesque images ever captured on film face sums up the film's Bait and Switch. In most comedies, this scene would be the first step in a descent into hell that only Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Adam Sandler are able to accomplish. In Change-UpIt'sa sequence that sets the bar as low as artistic as possible, so that stars Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds can obliterate expectations with only fresh, shocking and hilarious comedy stylings. Simply put, Change-Up is the film sjoveste years af.

Bateman plays Dave Lockwood, a run-of-the-mill lawyer who works too hard, juggling his duties of parents and struggling to find time to tell his wife he loves. Dave's best friend, Mitch (Reynolds) could not't be more opposite of the couch all day and use their conscious hours wooing sexual partners, while stoned out of your mind. The two are polar opposites, which makes them perfect candidates for a little switcheroo spell. A particularly devastating night of alcohol and groans life's misery ends with the duo taking a leak in a magical source (use it). Fate, of course, intervene and when Dave and Mitch wake up they find themselves trapped in another body's.

There's denial Change-Up continues Freaky Friday Formula-but's a bug. The logic is already established allowing Bateman, Reynolds and director David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) The freedom to jump directly to the hook gross humor. Bateman, who's becoming a go-to man just in Hollywood, a refreshing option in the habitable Reynold \ discoveries' s Mitch. The character's lack of self-censorship will open the floodgates for Bateman to the surface some poetic words of the English language's more terrible phrases. A dictionary of slang may be necessary to understand what synonyms are part of the foreign body to be released at a rapid pace in this film. If you understand them or not, when they leave Bateman's mouth, they're invaluable.

Same goes for Reynolds, who escapes the box fast talking womanizer to play the family man nasty. To judge an actor's versatility on stage, where it's reluctantly placed in the center of one'Lorna"(read: low-budget soft-core pornography) may seem twisted, but Reynolds sells it and makes it perfect distressing. Even the obvious scenarios such as,"Uh oh, Dave's have to beat his wife to Mitch's body!"Is a twisted, two, three times to pull the rug out from under you.

The biggest surprise Change-Up is the heart of the film's. Pummeling an audience with jokes is one thing but to sell in genuine relationships becomes rewarding. The faltering friendship between the two leads is palpable knuckleheads, and keep an impossible plot device grounded, while Leslie Mann (Knocked Up, Funny People) As Dave's wife, Jamie, has its fair share of moments of tenderness (and diabolical laugh there'because a husband Judd Apatow continues to launch it). In a film that's built by the rules book to get an ending that resonates with any kind of emotion is as surprising as seeing a grown man throwing a baby next to a set of knives. Which, coincidentally, also happens in the movie.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) - Movie Review

As the title suggests, Rupert Wyatt Rise of the Planet of the Apes is intended to lay the groundwork for a new franchise of science fiction movies where the super-intelligent humans and apes battle for dominance on earth. Your task is to explain in the space of two hours and a minimum of credulity, the precision with our friends apes can eventually replace us in the top of the animal kingdom. The stage was at least partially ConquestIt is by no means a new version. Nor, in this case, somehow related to the disappointment of Tim Burton, 2001 entry. (And thank God for that.)

Licensee growth begins, like many of the disasters in the world, with action taken by a very irresponsible. It Rodman (James Franco) is a genetic scientist of immense talent and questionable ethics, who works in a San Francisco company called luxury biotech Gen-Sys (subtle!). His attempt to produce a cure for Alzheimer's disease causes an ulterior motive: his father (John Lithgow), who suffers from it, and is close to entering its final phase. It is close to a breakthrough when one of their chimpanzee test subjects go, yes, apesh * t, making your business properly insensitive CEO, Steven Jacobs (David Oyelowo, bravely throwing lines are not as "I have a business, a zoo !") to the Research Committee of the population complete installation chimpanzee settlement.

He is busy doing office sad when he discovers that one of the chimpanzees have proved a son, a man is not capable of murder. Instead, he and his girlfriend primatologist, Caroline (Frieda Pinto, beautiful and redundant), partners in terribly wrong decision, decide to increase the baby chimp as their own, giving it the name of Caesar. Having inherited her mother's gene modifications, which shows signs of advanced intelligence, and quickly develops a close bond with their human foster parents. But Caesar soon surpass its natural habitat, and eventually be sent to a monkey "Sanctuary" which is actually the opposite.

Right now we're halfway through the movie - and miles away from the monkeys learned and the people enslaved. For us to track, director Wyatt makes a very bold tonal shifts, sudden changes in what was a relatively sober Project Nim dramatization of the balls-out mono-gone-wild summer action movie trailers of the film promises. Their efforts have helped greatly by his writers, Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa, which offers intelligent script absorbent enough credibility in the first half to the second half even more crazy is not only acceptable, but downright entertaining. Wyatt issue is a delicate balance, respect for the subject recognizes inherent stupidity. (Scattered throughout the film is clever nods to the previous The Ten Commandments.)

Stupidity is apparently accelerating the weft Increase is as scary as they come.

Andy Serkis, who did all the work that capture performance of Caesar, is wonderful on paper, but the question is how credit should be divided between him and the technicians at Weta Digital, to "paint" the figure has CG. And make no mistake, Cesar is a great

I Hate Luv Storys - Reviews

Bollywood love stories are known to magic to create the fund, and "I Hate Luv installed a ceiling'is no exception. I Hate installed Luv one of the debutant director PUNIT Malhotra star Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor. The film is old wine in new bottles, because it is not very different story. ideas and romantic sequences of the film is borrowed from the former to make love stories. Only the Director's treatment of age-old theme that makes the film worth seeing!

I Hate Luv installed between the roof of the story of Jay (Imran Khan) and Simran (Sonam Kapoor), two people are different as chalk and cheese. Simran's tough love and romantic love stories so much that her own life begins to resemble one. He lives in a paradise-loving friend (Samir Dattani), and a good job of production designer. His dream is in danger when he was with Jay, a cynic who believes in everything collides, but love! Jay hates love stories. Things take a turn for the worse, if he do assistant director (Samir Soni), a famous director to love stories veer, Simran is working.

Who can pull the film parallels Mills and Boon novel and film. PUNIT Malhotra has done a commendable job as a writer. His characterization of the Jay and Simran is also fine. PUNIT but could do a better writer than some of the other characters in the movie does not seem to be complete. Vishal-Shekhar have done exemplary work to create a musical footsteps of the film. Salim-Sulaiman's background score is top notch. Ayananka Bose is a great proof of his ability to re-plot of the film after the dragon. Styling by Manish Malhotra is a stylish and classic.

Imran Khan's easy, and care has really captured the spirit of Jay is a marquee. Sonam Kapoor will take you on a complete surprise, because it shows, in full, a new perspective on yourself as an actor. SIMRAN their role is very different from what he describes as his earlier films, Delhi 6 and Saanwariya. His transition from Plain Jane to glam chic is very pleased audience. Imran and Sonam illustrate the crackling chemistry on screen. Samir Dattani is good. Samir Soni to live up to his seniority as an actor and plays his role in a very. As Imran Kavin Dave's PAL has made a great job. Other Pooja Ghai, Ketaki Dave, Anju Mahendru are fair enough.

Dhoom 2 - Movie Review

Dhoom 2, released in November 24, 2006, was such a success that he had a very successful opening in India and abroad. In the U.S. alone, he won U.S. $ 2642290 at the beginning of 2007. Dhoom 2 is a great film that has sold a decent story line if it takes place. Instead, the film has spent much time and effort in all aspects of commercialism in the form of voice, entertainment, glamor, songs, etc.

Some may have a good story or plot to be the most important thing to watch in a film. Perhaps not too be expected, since the purpose of a movie intended to entertain in different ways (drama, glamor, music, film, publishing, etc.), except a good story. If people just keep waiting for good stories of the film, they might as well read a good novel instead.

Again, the Director shall not have missed the story so much so that the critics come with long lists to highlight any errors that are so visible throughout the film.

History:

As mentioned earlier, the story is not really been aware. To their mysterious, who calls himself Mr. A (Hrithik Roshan), is literally around the world priceless artifacts stolen very sophisticated. The goal of behavior is not explained. In pursuit of an ACP, Assistant Commissioner of Police (played by Abhishek Bachan) and then follow along the way, Mr. A is a willing partner Sunehri (Aishwarya Rai), whom he later discovers that it is sent to spy. She discovered later that she fell for him in a way typical of Bollywood and join hands with him after that.

The call of each star player was highlighted by their respective opening scenes, which may seem unnecessary to most viewers. In fact, most of the unnecessary scenes, but that's because history is not subject to this film at all.

Scenario:

Fun and entertainment is mainly the most attention in this film. This film is taken right in some commercially attractive from the beginning to the bitter end. Probably this is attributed to its success.

Eye Candy Comes of Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu are part of the animation is simply intended to divert attention from the audience wonder what the story is about.

Uday Chopra is the most important entertainment, as he made his comic antics to keep a smile on her face public.

Movie:

The films are fantastic. Each scene flight is well taken care of camera angles and shots.

Video editing:

Video editing is very well done, although more than this could be achieved when the film is made solely for entertainment.

Singham - A Bolluwood Movie review

Bollywood is making progress in film industry very rapidly. Thats why all the world has started watching its movies and reviews.Reviews are good to read before watching movies.Remember the phase that Bollywood suffered in the 80's? When action films were released with factory-like precision, each more mindless and insensitive than the other? Yes, the ones where the villains were uhm... unattractive and threatened more and acted less. Heroes went around bashing up 20 goons at a time and came out staggering unscathed, and heroines did nothing better than looking pretty for the hero, when he took a break from fighting. Singham is that kind of a movie.
Bajirao Singham (Ajay) is a cop with a heart, happy in his village Shivghad where everyone is ready to lay down their lives for him. Singham is generally an angry young man, when it comes to petty criminals. However, at some point he crosses path with the bad man Jaykant Shikre (Prakash), who passes his time kidnapping and killing children with bare hands and doing such evil stuff just for the heck of it. The story is about how Singham manages to triumph over Shikre, with of course a romantic track with girlfriend Kaavya (Kajal) thrown in.
Singham is a really brave man, and this is established through his dance moves, which embarrassingly include him flexing his fingers like a lion's claws and also, random roars in the background when he is about to strike someone. Those of you who still haven't got it, a brave man likes being compared to a lion and would go to any lengths to prove that fact.
The story starts with a lot of promise as an honest cop kills himself after failing to prove that he's not corrupt and his widow runs from pillar to post to get the truth out. But later the film peters down. The treatment is shoddy, background music is outdated (in fact, I almost expected to hear dishoom dishoom like in the 80's during the fights), the dialogues are unbelievably tacky and generally the film is tiring.
Ajay Devgn, of course, is a treat to watch. With that bod and that strut and of course those intense eyes, he is convincing as someone who can fly in the air and bring baddies down with one strike of his hand. But Prakash Raj needs to be told to take it easy and not spend all his acting skills in one movie. He talks non-stop and is all over the place. In fact, every one in this noisy film, including Ashok Saraf and Sachin Khedekar have mile long dialogues.
Kajal Agarwal is pretty. Period. This is the kind of movie, where anyone and everyone can walk into the Home Minister's office, abuse him and give him a kick in the rear. And if you do that, the minister's peon will honour you with a salute. Nothing turns director Rohit Shetty on more than cars meeting mid air. We all know that by now. And this film has some breath taking action sequences, too. That's about it.s

RANGO - Latest Movie Review

RANGO isn’t just a chameleon struggling with his identity; it’s also a movie that struggles to find its true identity. One thing the film does not struggle with is amazing animation full of lavishly detailed sets and characters. I wanted to love the film which sold me on the basic level of an animal known for its ability to change color also being able to change his personality on a whim. Sadly, in the end RANGO just felt a little too disjointed for me to be able to sink my teeth in to.

The film begins as the nameless chameleon (Johnny Depp) is acting out scenes in a fish tank on the back of a car before a near accident sends his tank flying on to the cement, leaving the animal to fend for himself in the desert. Once he stumbles upon a town suffering from a severe shortage of water he find a name for himself and lies his way into becoming the towns sheriff. As the unlikely law of the town Rango somehow sniffs out something fishy about the sudden disappearance of all the water in town and seeks to do something about it.

It’s actually quite tough to ever have to admit not loving every aspect of a computer animated movie. It’s even tougher to admit when a movie is as visually stunning as RANGO is. The animation in RANGO is absolutely mesmerizing. The color palette is brilliant; the scene details are astounding as are the character models. Not a single character or set piece in this movie is lackluster or simple. The amount of detail is Pixar level or perhaps even better and the movements of the character bring them to life in such a way that at times look damn near lifelike. It’s such a shame to me that everything else just did not click with me.

I’m extremely conflicted about my feelings here because the animation had me in awe, the voice acting is top notch even if I’m not the world’s biggest Johnny Depp advocate, and even the sound design was very impressive. When it comes down to it though, nothing jumped out at me and made me care about the story or the characters themselves outside of the animation. I loved the way everything looked and moved, but I could just as easily watch the film on mute and get the same enjoyment out of it (aside from missing the sound design). It wasn’t until Rattlesnake Jake (Bill Nighy) came into the picture that I was really getting into it and even that is a very small portion of the film.

Looking back I don’t hate the story by any means, I just didn’t find that the writers and director presented in such a way that I could really immerse myself in it. I was too distracted and in love with the visuals to care much about anything else that anytime anything cool animation wise happened that my mind focused on those aspects far more. I also feel like the film jumped around in tone quite a bit which since I was so transfixed on the visuals that jumping from place to place so quickly had me feeling like I was suffering from ADHD.

A fantastic cast was assembled to bring these characters alive and each to a great job I just feel like they all live in the shadow of animation that outshines the script by a long shot. I did laugh here and there at some of the quirky sensibilities, but I never found RANGO to be inherently funny, exciting or even dramatic on any serious level.

As much as it pains me to give an animated movie my less than favorable opinion I just couldn’t bring myself to say I liked RANGO. I don’t hate it, because I loved it in regards to the look everything else just made me shrug my shoulders. I feel parts of it are a little too mean spirited and dark for children, but a little too quirky and simple for lots of adults. I don’t begrudge the opinions of anyone who will and have loved it because I can fully understand how someone could. For me though, RANGO despite the spectacular animation struggled at finding any kind of identity.

Chillar Party – Movie Review with Suggestions

You have seen many websites about movies reviews but this blog give you reviews with suggestion about wether you should watch movie or not.At one point in American history, dogs and blacks were not allowed in public places. During the British occupation of China, it was ‘dogs and Chinese’ while at the first Mumbai marathon the rule was against dogs and wheelchairs. A dog has thus become a metaphor for seclusion, for denying someone their fundamental rights.

“Chillar Party” uses this metaphor in a brilliant, but hilariously entertainment manner to make a statement against those who seclude, be it Shiv Sena in Mumbai, fanatic Hindus who want Muslims out of India, or upper class Hindus who refuse lower caste people basic rights etc. That it does so while making you laugh, is its greatest strength.

After a street kid Phatka (Irrfan Khan) and his stray dog Bhidu begin cleaning cars in a rich locality, the rich, school going kids first try to fend him off, but later become great buddies. When a minister offended by the dog passes a law to ban all street dogs from Mumbai, the kids resort to some unconventional activism to save their beloved dog. But is it even possible for the powerless kids to take on a high and mighty minister?

“Chillar Party”, in essence, is a children’s film. But those who can read between the lines and see between pictures know that the most brilliant, imaginative and metaphorical literature and cinema in the world, are for kids.

Thus in literature you have your ‘The Prince’ and ‘Gulliver’s Travels’, while the films of Iranian auteurs, though simple and innocent, attack an unjust system. “Chillar Party” is a welcome addition to these greats of world cinema.

Yet, what does a children’s film need to be good? A simple story, good metaphor, oodles of cuteness and innocence, fun and humour and a band of actors to carry it all off. If you have these, any other drawbacks can be excused. “Chillar Party” has these and much more.

The film is filled with observations and idiosyncrasies that will leave you laughing your guts out. Every child in the film has acted with such restrained understatement that they give your popular stars a run for their money. And yet, beyond all these beautifully working elements, it is the metaphor of the dog that takes the cake.

Unlike nature, the world of humans is full of seclusion. Thus a Bal Thackeray in the 1960s wants the South Indians, in the 1990s the Muslims, and now the North Indians out of Mumbai. Fanatic Hindus want Muslims out of India. The Americans wanted blacks out of America. The Australians want Indians out. The Sri Lankans want the Tamils out. The list is literally endless. But as the film so valiantly, sincerely and emotionally argues, what is needed is inclusion.

“Chillar Party is filled with allegorical moments that hint at how the poor, the disenfranchised, the adivasi, the handicapped, the minority survive. When the rich kids take away his cleaning cloth, Phatka has no qualms about washing cars with his only tshirt. The rich consider poor to be pests and want them out, but the poor strive and ironically serve the same rich. Some, pushed to the edge, take up arms against mighty odds, like in the tribal belts of India.

Besides saluting the creative genius of writer-director Vikas Bahl and Nitesh Tiwari, one has to bow to UTV and Salman Khan, for flexing their muscles for something so beautiful.

“Chiller Party” may be a small film. But as cinema goes, in its adroitness, it is much more mature than 99 percent of the films ever made in India. And that, you’ll reckon, is no ’small’ achievement.

Film: “Chillar Party”
Cast: Irrfan Khan, Sanath Menon and Naman Jain

Director: Vikas Bahl, Nitesh Tiwari

Movie review - Transformers: Dark of the Moon (3D)

You have watched many English and Urdu movies but this movie is undeliverable.You will forget to close your mouth through out the movie. Did the cinema audience  need another epic cinematic clash between Autobots and Decepticons? After the crushing disappointment of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I expected the series to lay low but I probably did not account for Michael Bay's enthusiasm and the studio's greed for lucre.

Dark of the Moon is coherent -- every little detail is explained to everyone's satisfaction but the lay-up towards the final climactic plunge is so boredom enhancing that you would find it difficult to stay awake behind your 3D glasses.

The film is about the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, shape-shifting fighting machines belonging to fierce extraterrestrial rival tribes. Of course the villainous Decepticons are intent to secure Earth in order to support their home Planet Cybertron. Optimus Prime wants to revive Sentinel Prime from his ancient slumber.

Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) jobless in Washington DC, living with hot gf Carly (Huntington-Whiteley), and temporarily abandoned by Bumblebee, jumps into the fray and soon butts heads with national intelligence director Charlotte Mearing (Frances McDormand).

Revisionist history also proclaims that John F Kennedy fast-tracked the moon landing in order to secure a site where a giant Autobot vessel had crash-landed after a war on Cybertron.

But that is not a piece of history you can care for here. The overly-detailed script by Ehren Kruger is more like an encyclopaedia on the world of Autobots and Decpticons, than a high-octane action movie script. The narrative plays out smoothly but it's a tedious wait before the advent of advanced CGI wizardy can make a show of it at the end. Each frame takes longer to move on  and the 3D enhanced shape-shifting, though it is cohesively done, fails to enthuse.

Actually there is not enough energy in the set-up and development to justify the all-out action towards the end. It's hard to sit still watching metallic characters hammering one another in a unnecessarily protracted battle (ironically held at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive in Chicago) for the Universe.

The attempt to boost-up the action towards the finale with an almost orgiastic pile-up of machines and humans looks quite hollow. The replacement for the luscious Megan Fox, British model Rosie Huntington Whitely  looks beautiful but she doesn't have either the  magnetic screen presence of her predecessor nor can she generate sizzling chemistry with co-star Shia. So that appears to be another spanner in the wheels of this mega fantasy in Imax 3D. Just Too bad!

Murder 2 with Lates Honest Movie review

You will find many review websites but this blog is my personal thinking reviews based.First i watch movie then i write these latest reviews.There are my own source to watch movies before time.So be with me to get lates reviews.Two films releasing this week. One a children's film, Chillar Party and another a juvenile film, Murder 2. Ex-cop Arjun Bhagwat (Emraan), with a perpetually bad wig hair day, walks around wounded and with an I-am-a-victim expression, because mind you, 20 long years back his family had committed suicide, for no fault of anyone's.

And he generally hates God. However, he being a hero, he protects pimps, call girls and the likes, and gives away thick envelopes of his hard earned money to poor people. Robin Hood would have been confused.

Dhiraj Yadav (Prashant Narayan) is a serial killer. Though Prashant is pretty convincing in his menacing role, for God-knows-what-reason his character likes to dress up as a woman, when he is in the mood to kill and chop up bodies of call girls and sex workers. When the credits roll, with blood splattered around the names, you kind of brace yourself with a sinking heart, for the kind of movie that is to follow. But even that doesn't prepare you for a really tacky item song by Yana Gupta and a lot of other things.

To its credit, the first half of the film manages to hold your interest, as you get involved with Reshma's life, a college student turned call girl, who manages to land herself in the clutches of a serial killer. You guessed it right; Reshma is pure but helpless, because she has to provide for her mother and two sisters. This story of one night has Arjun looking for Reshma, even while oscillating between making out with girlfriend Priya (Jaqueline) and trying to ward off her attention. 

Once he catches Dhiraj, he is out again wandering aimlessly, looking for evidence against him. In the second half, the director totally loses his sense of direction, and we have to be happy with gallons of 'blood' oozing out everywhere, with intermittent screeches of different girls.

Priya's body has a better role than her face. Poor girl didn't even get the advantage of her dialogues being in sync with her lip movement. Add to that the two and half dialogues that she has are repetitive ¦ Mohabbat ya zaroorat?, she keeps asking to Emraan's in expressive retort, Aadat.

This one has no mohabbat, not surely a zaroorat and probably just an aadat for the Bhatts to come out with a movie now and then, with a staple fare of explicit sex scenes and graphic violence in the name of a thrilling movie.

Latest MovieThor - Latest Review

A Latest movie "THOR" is breaking all box office records.Thor is a solid piece of entertainment.A grown man dresses as a bat and his a chit chat inside a bank vault where a major heist has just gone down. Goofy. A grown man wears blue tights under his business suit on a daily basis along with a red cape he hides in his undies. Goofy. Yet, Batman looks menacing when crouched in Gotham's shadows. Superman is imposing when he's speeding through the air. Setting is everything and it's no different with Thor, which is why I'm sure our introduction to a fully decked out Thor comes with him alongside his fellow Asgardian warriors where he looks just as he should as he battles the Frost Giants of Jotunheim. However, when in that same attire, strolling the streets of Pente Antiguo, New Mexico, you have a fashion faux pas. This faux pas gets to the heart of Thor, a film that never takes itself too seriously and does its very best to acknowledge its silliness so the audience may be able to look past it and enjoy the spectacle on screen.

Thor is an intergalactic story reaching realms outside our galaxy. Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) presence on Earth comes as he is banished from Asgard by his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), after Thor has reignited a war with the previously mentioned Frost Giants. His banishment serves as an opportunity for his brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), to move in on the throne.
Cast to Earth, Thor runs into a trio of scientists, which is when he meets Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), a bit of a shut-in, nerdy girl that takes to him immediately as he wreaks havoc around town in search of his hammer. Like I said, it's goofy and easy to mock, but will you roll with it or laugh at it?
The screenplay, which was a joint effort between Don Payne (Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer) and "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" scribes Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz, does its very best to keep things light with comedic moments and witty repartee. In this respect Thor falls right in line with Marvel's Iron Man films, where the goal is to serve up an action-based spectacle with an eye for entertainment as opposed to serious drama. The problem here is that it also repeats Iron Man's missteps as it can only seem to deliver half of a good film before shutting down and transitioning into its big finale, not to forget its insistence on building a massive franchise rather than solely creating a standalone Thor feature. This last aspect is just as annoying here as it was in Iron Man 2.
Where Thor did impress me was in the actors' ability to elevate the screenplay so it didn't seem as cheesy as it otherwise would have. As Odin, Anthony Hopkins actually gives one of the better performances I've seen from the declining actor in some time. He was believable and even though the words he was reading were ridiculous, they seemed to roll off his tongue rather than stagnate in that same delivery he's offered for years in such creepy old man roles, such as in The Rite and The Wolfman.
Chris Hemsworth was a charismatic choice for Thor as he managed to nail the character's arrogance and remain likable. The relationship, though, between him and Jane Foster is terribly rushed and late in the film she comes off as something of a star-struck, drunken tart ready for whatever this hulk of a god in front of her is willing to offer. Through no fault of Portman's, Foster is actually the film's weakest character, but this goes back to the fact the Earth portion of the story is the film's major weakness. Foster exists only to create a tie between Thor and the Earth realm, giving him reason to come back.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and it resulted in an absolute abomination. Here, his attraction to Thor was said to be the family story between Thor, his brother Loki and their father Odin. It works. It's the best part of the film, and I didn't mention it before but I thought Hiddleston as Loki was another good bit of casting as was Idris Elba as the Asgardian gatekeeper, Heimdall. But this is just as I said, Branagh keeps things together while the story remains in Asgard, but when it moves to Earth it's a bit of a waste.
The effects are solid, but I was less impressed with the sound and music. Patrick Doyle's score is lackluster and the sound design is frequently clunky and obtuse. As for the 3D, it's virtually non-existent as I am growing increasingly convinced this era of post-conversion 3D is just an excuse for the company that makes those cheap plastic 3D glasses to make a profit. All they're really good for is making sure the picture isn't so bright and blurry. Thanks!
Overall, Thor is a solid piece of entertainment and, more-or-less, required viewing if you want to remain in the know once The Avengers arrives in 2012. It's a fun film and considering we're talking about a Norse God from the stars that beats people up with a hammer while wearing a giant cape, I think Branagh and company managed to pull off a minor miracle considering neither I nor anyone in my audience was laughing uncontrollably at the ridiculous nature of it all.
So enjoy the Movie Thor

Lates Movie Review - 7 Khoon Maaf

7 Khoon Maaf is latest movie, look below review before to watch movie.

Chalk up an absolute winner for the Vishal Bhardwaj-Priyanka Chopra team. They make a coherent vision out of an inconceivable marital crises.

How do you make sense of a woman who’s an incorrigible potentially-loathsome serial spouse-killer who when challenged about her weird passion for changing husbands by divine decree rather than the law of the land, turns around and says, “This heart of mine, it’s to blame.” Wicked laughter follows. And dammit, we are amused!

How does one make head or ‘tale’ of such a woman? Well, the first thing a director with a canny sense and sensibility does is sign Priyanka Chopra to play the wretchedly unfulfilled, genetically incomplete woman, a living, throbbing warning against the institution of marriage!

Priyanka, not for the first time, proves she is leagues ahead of all competition. She approaches this strange and sensual creature of the night from the outside and then quietly makes inroads into the woman’s heart and soul. We can actually see the character’s snarled inner-world on Priyanka’s face! We don’t even know when and how she does it. Priyanka is that kind of a player.

Vishal Bharadwaj has earlier made films about gangs and gangsterism. Every time the dark brooding atmospheric surface seemed to suggest a life of sinister suppressions. Those unspoken, intangible thoughts and visions that often guide a human being to his or her doom are outlined in “7 Khoon Maaf” with supreme poetic elegance.

This is Bhardwaj’s most fluidly-narrated film to date. Of course, having Gulzar on board helps. He pens Urdu poetry for Irrfan Khan and rock poetry for John Abraham. For Priyanka poetry is not needed. She creates a kind of indecipherable poetic statement for her deeply dysfunctional character who kills 6 husbands and moves to the 7th at the end of the film with the profound satirical grief of a woman who has discovered that this world has no true love to offer her.

True love…ah! Now that’s an idea. At heart Vishal’s dark elegiac film is about the search for true love. The relationship that Sussanna (Priyanka) forms with a young boy(Vivaan Shah) as she goes from one husband to another remains at the core of the film. In a macabre subversion of the almost-pure love that Susanna shares with Vivaan’s character, at one point in the narration she tries to seduce the boy who’s almost like a son. It’s a dark ugly moment, almost repugnant in its incestuous resonances but in keeping with the character’s insatiable appetite for destruction.

Vishal Bhardwaj brings to the storyboard a deep sense of tragic grandeur even as Susanna slips from self-gratification to delusional spirituality.

Priyanka Chopra has already proved herself way ahead of her contemporaries in her earlier works notably “Fashion” and “What’s Your Raashee”. In “7 Khoon Maaf” she moves to another level, displaying a range of emotions and age-changes (minus prosthetics) that one last saw in Shabana Azmi’s performances.

Priyanka’s sequences with Irrfan Khan (playing a gentle poet who transforms into a sexual pervert in bed) are stuff poetic nightmares are made of. We can clearly see the cinematographer (Ranjan Palit) is not in love with the actress, but the character. His camera searches for intransigent images in Susanna’s life, even as Priyanka’s quest for the character’s core takes her into areas of self-expression that are far beyond the reach of cinema acting as we know it.

A. Sreekar Prasad edits the life of Susanna with a surety that, alas,the character never comes close to achieving in her dealings with the opposite sex. Sreekar creates a symphonic seamless movement from one husband to another, sometimes joining segments in Susanna’s life with visuals that would otherwise seem incompatible.

The husbands are all played by actors who have no qualms in stripping away their vanity to become the kind of suave but duplicitous untrustworthy spouses who cheat and betray for the sake of the opposite emotion to love. Irrfan Khan as a wolf in poet’s clothing, Naseeruddin Shah as the affable old Bengali dietician (his Bengali accent is more dead-on than any true-blue Bengalis) and John Abraham as a stereotypical rock musician gone to poppy-seed, are pitch-perfect in their creating a drama of the callous for Priyanka’s character.

But it’s Neil Nitin Mukesh as her first legless army-man husband whose display of clenched menace jolts you.

As a storyteller Vishal Bhardwaj has never been more in command of his language. He punctuates Susanna’s story with bouts of unexpected humour and poetry. Providentially the murders are committed in ways that appear more humorous than savage. And that’s both a good and a bad thing.

The narrative shows a rare understanding of the gender dynamics and the sexual tensions between men and women. Priyanka Chopra’s interaction with the unctuous and closet-horny police officer Anu Kapoor delectably illustrates the fable of the Temptress & The Besotted. And by the way Viagara never seemed funnier.

Priyanka Chopra goes from husband-to-husband with a mocking sigh of resigned surrender. She is not a victim. But neither is she the hero of the bizarre web of destruction and delusion that her character weaves around her.

Film: “7 Khoon Maaf”
Starring: Priyanka Chopra,Naseeruddin Shah, Irrfan Khan,Anu Kapoor,Alexandr Dyachenko,John Abraham,Neil Nitin Mukesh, Vivaan Shah

Latest Movie Riview - Rango

Shortly after I saw Rango, I read that Gore Verbinski directed the film in the hopes of doing something "small" after having directed the first Pirates of the Caribbean films nearly back to back. There is nothing small about Rango, save for maybe the title chameleon himself. It's full of grand ideas and larger-than-life characters, and it all folds up nicely in one big love letter to the western genre. Come to think of it, Rango isn't small, either. While he might be lacking in stature, he's the biggest thing to come to Dirt in the town's history.

Rango tells the story of a nameless Chameleon with a love for showmanship. He stages plays in his little tank, the cast full of his friends - a headless doll, a wind-up fish, a dead cricket, among others. Then his cozy little world is literally shattered (in a visually stunning scene) and he winds up in the Nevada desert, soaking in the harsh sun and wandering aimlessly. This crash course in the dangerous life of a desert animal doesn't last long, as he soon winds up in the small town of Dirt, where he makes a name for himself as the heroic Rango. But while his persona may be fake, the dangers of Dirt are very real, and he's soon forced to live up to the legend he's constructed.Rango might be the first CGI family-friendly western. You've got bandits, posses, six shooters - the works. And when I said it was a love letter to the western genre, I meant it in multiple ways. Not only does it contain all of the elements that make the genre what it is, but it's also riddled with numerous references to various cinematic masterpieces. The most blatant reference is also the best, and while I won't reveal it here, I will say that there was hootin' and hollerin' in the theater.Another area in which Rango isn't a small film is its amount of heart. It's bursting with lovable characters, and when you love the characters, you fear for them, and so all of Dirt's problems become your own. Cartoon lizard or not, you'll root for Rango just as hard as you'd root for any live-action character.

Rango's visual style is something unique, a blend of realistic and cartoon elements that work together seamlessly. Certain animals strongly resemble their real-life counterparts while others look like unidentifiable balls of fur. And yet it works splendidly, bringing the familiar charm of animated movies while at the same time maintaining a very surreal quality.

I hesitate to use this term, because you hear it every time an animated film is released, but Rango really is a film for all ages. And I don't simply mean that adults will be entertained as well as children. Children will definitely have a blast but adults will get more out of it. They'll appreciate the depth to the characters, the western homages, and the truly funny bits that are a little too sophisticated for the kids.
 

The Green Hornet

Green Hornet is an oddity of a film. It's most definitely a superhero tale, being an adaptation of the titular masked vigilante character created by George Trendle and Fran Striker back in the 1930s. And yet it's written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the duo behind Superbad and the stoner comedy Pineapple Express, quite possibly the last people you would think of when trying to revive a near-century old superhero. And yet here's Green Hornet, a mixture of two ways of life that by all means shouldn't work, but somehow finds a way.
In addition to co-writing the screenplay, Seth Rogen himself fills the shoes of the lead crimefighter and his true identity, Britt Reid. This is very much Rogen's Green Hornet; the man doesn't have a hell of a lot of range. That isn't to say he's a bad actor. His chops are of the comedy variety, but he can pull off the dramatic when it's required of him. Reid is a good deal more obnoxious and angry than Rogen's usual charming goofballs, and while this makes him a little hard to like at first, it eventually becomes clear that his anger comes from a place of self-loathing and wasted potential, something a lot of us can identify with. Still, he remains Seth Rogen, even when he goes by the name of Britt Reid.
Christoph Waltz, the Austrian/German actor who rose to American fame with his portrayal of Colonel Hans "Jew Hunter" Landa in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, plays Russian mobster Benjamin Chudnofsky, the film's primary antagonist. I've only seen Landa in Basterds, but he was by far the greatest part of that great film, so I expected the same here. While I wasn't let down, I did feel that he could've done more. It was undeniablely fun watching him struggle with his inability to terrify people, but given the film's lighthearted tone, he really could have gone much more over-the-top than he was and the results could've been something special. As it is, he's passable, and Waltz is better than that.
The real star here, appropriately enough, is Jay Chou as Kato, The Green Hornet's sidekick. In the 1960s television series, Bruce Lee's Kato greatly overshadowed Van Williams's Green Hornet, so much so that the show was renamed The Kato Show in Hong Kong. It's unlikely that Rogen and Goldberg intended for Chou to surpass everyone like he does, but it works out for the best, with Chou turning in the greatest performance in the film, despite his English skills being less than great.
I feel ashamed to write this, but I've only seen one other Michel Gondry film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I can't comment on whether or not he's operating to his usual standard, but I can say that Gondry knows when to keep it simple and when to take risks. Aside from a few dazzling fight scenes, there was nothing exceptionally fantastic about the directing, but he did nothing wrong, either. A competent job, and that isn't meant as a backhanded compliment.
Where The Green Hornet fails is uneven pacing that results in the middle dragging on far too long, unable to keep up the rapid-fire delivery of the first and third acts. I wouldn't go as far as to say it gets boring, but at its worst it's far from compelling cinema, especially given the ho-hum jobs done by Rogen and Waltz. However, the charisma of Jay Chou and the smart humor scattered throughout make it a fun, albeit bumpy, ride.
