Chameli (2003)
Decent movie
I recently saw this movie and it actually turned out a pretty OK for a film.The first half of this movie was pretty boring but the second half turned out to be pretty good.This movie mostly tells about the story of a prostitute and knowing about the life of a prostitute was interesting and riveting.I also liked the interactions between Aman and Chameli and the relationship between them which was deep and subtle.I also like the realistic setting of this movie.The music was excellent with songs like Sajna Ve Sajna and Bhage Re Mann.Rahul Boses acting was simply brilliant.But the show stealer has to be Kareena who has given a simply flawless act as Chameli she got every thing of the character right be it the mannerisms,accent,look of the character.This movie is worth a watch for this who appreciates very realistic movies and it wont appeal to those who likes the masala movies
Om Shanti Om (2007)
Amazing movie
This movie was really good truly one of the best movies ever.I enjoyed this movie a lot from beginning to end.Every thing about this movie was simply fab be it the acting,music,plot.This movie has a really cool storyline and liked the way how the reincarnation was portrayed.Another thing that i liked about this was that it was very colorful movie and also the cinematography was really good.I also loved the spoofs that were made of the old 50s,60s,70s movies it was good.The music and songs were amazing the Deewangee Deewangee song which had lots of celebrities was simply sensational so was the Dard E Disco.The concept of this movie seemed very refreshing and new.The acting was extrordinary.Shah Rukh has proved himself as powerhouse performer by giving a brilliant performance in both the roles.Arjun Rampal also gave a brilliant performance and i am surprised that Vivek Oberoi was the first choice for his role.Deepika acted well in the first half but barely had nothing to do in the second half but she really stole the climax scene.Shreyas Talpade also gave a very good performance in his role also.The climax for me was shocking and also surprising.Iam also a bit shocked that many people have disliked this movie because i believe these kinda movies should be watched for entertainment purposes not for serious purposes.Skipping all that i recommend watching this movie
Bodyguard (2011)
Excellent love story
This movie which i have seen so far might be the best movie of the year as i have not seen that much movies barring NOKJ,Aarakshan.I really enjoyed this movie from beginning to end.Initially when i saw all the promos of this movie i thought it might be an action film but it turned out to be more of a romanctic movie.I liked the story it seemed it very different at least towards the end from the usual love storys and thats a good thing.Even the comedy in this movie was very nice too.The music is very nice with the best ones being Teri Meri and I love you.The direction was very good too and the scenes were well executed.The acting was top notch.Salman gave a brilliant performance throughout the movie and in my opinion deserves the best actor award and i really believe that given a chance and also a good director he really can give more great performances like this one.Kareena has given a blazing powerhouse performance as Divya she has a very meaty role and despite Salman having the author backed role i think she really outshined him in a couple of scenes and i also thought she was very cute when she was acting as Chaaya .And the actress who plays Maya was also amazing inspite her role was a supporting one and i think she should win a lot of awards for this one.The little kid who played Salman son was quite convincing especially in the scene where he asks Kareena to be his mother.The action and stunt scenes were magnificent but got boring after a while.I also thought after the Desi Beats song in the second half i thought the movie had started to became more intense and interesting.Anyhow this movie definitely deserves to be watched.
No One Killed Jessica (2011)
Fantastic movie
I loved this flick so much and i think this must be the best movie of the year so far.Direction here was excellent and so was the story and screenplay.I liked how this movie dealt with the Jessica Lal murder case it seemed very realistic.And i was shocked that Manu Sharma for years was not arrested because of his power and so many lied on his behalf by this it does showcases the fact that many famous people can get away with their crimes with their power and i was glad that in the end he was punished.The Dilli song was very cool.The acting was very good here to.Vidya has given a superb performance and she totally dominates the first half.Rani dominates the second half and she also steals the show with a fantastic performance in a fantastic role.This movie in my opinion was truly was great and it deserves a watch
Pinjar: Beyond Boundaries... (2003)
Amazing movie
I just recently saw this movie and was amazed by it.I have not seen much movies about the partition but so far i think this might be the best partition flick.The story and screenplay was just fabulous and so was the scenes.The characters be it all of them were excellently written.I also liked how the movie was shot it seemed very realistic mostly because its the 1940s.The acting was fab.Urmila was simply brilliant here especially in the climax scene.And one thing i liked about her acting was the way how she used her eyes to emote in many areas which was wonderful.Manoj Bajpai was simply brilliant here also.I also liked the way how the relationship between Puro and Rashid was shown especially in the climax scene.Sanjay Suri and Priyanshu were excellent too.And the actress who played Lajo was good too.I liked her in the scene where she tells Puro that nobody wont accept her and also in the scene where she tells Puro that she wants to escape.The only thing i didn't like about the movie is the length it was over 3 hours and by the last 30-40 minutes it started to bore a bit.The songs were unnecessary but Shaba Ni Shaba and Maar Udaari were nice.Minding the length of this i will say it is an excellent movie and deserves a watch
Veer-Zaara (2004)
One of the best love stories
This movie was truly great and very romantic.It was pretty enjoyable from beginning to end.This is one of the best movies ever from Yash Raj films,a total quality movie all the way.The direction by Yash Chopra was truly excellent.The screenplay is commendable.This music was very nice my favorite one being Main Yahaan.The other tracks like Aisa Desh,Kyun Hawa,Tere Liye were excellent. This movie was beautifully shot with rich sets and costumes .The scenes were well executed especially the scene were Veer and Zaara reunite.The acting was Top notch.SRK was superb in his role and was quite convincing.In my opinion Preity has given her best performance too date in this movie.Rani was also amazing as the layer also.Anupham Kher and Manoj Bajpai have very interesting roles and have acted well also.If you are really interested in watching romantic movies like me you will love this one.
Raavan (2010)
Horrible
I saw this movie months back on DVD and this flick was just bad very bad.I don't know what were the likes of Mani Ratnam,Abhishek,Aishwarya thinking when they did this.Honestly the moment in the beginning when Aishwarya got kidnapped it spelt doomed.The script was terrible and to some extent the dialogues.The cinematography and the locales were not as good as it was said to be.The scenes were just dull.The music by Ace composer A R Rahman is decent the best ones being Behne De and Ranjha.The acting was just mediocre.Abhishek was just terrible in his part and almost overacted and looked horrible through out.Aishwarya was horrible her overacting got on to my nerves.Vikram was the better acted ones he was okay.The other actors including Govinda was so wasted.In all this movie was one bad movie that deserves to be avoided
7 Khoon Maaf (2011)
A complete bore
This movie was anything but boring.the pace of the movie was so slow that i had stopped watching it up till the Anu Kapoor part.Screenplay and story was interesting but not well executed.As for the songs they were boring.Priyanka Chopras acting was decent and its a bit of a disappointment especially since people were raving it.As for the males Neil was barely there,John was okay,Irfan was okay but very evil.The foreign actor was a waste and Anu Kapoor was boring.The narration by Vivaan Shah was great initially but then got boring as the movie proceeded.The direction by Vishal is not upto the mark.And the characters are not well developed especially Susana character which was poorly written.Overall this movie was a waste of time and i regret buying it.
