BAND BAAJA BARAAT(2010)



Genre : Romance/ Comedy

Band Baaja Baaraat is a Yash Raj banner movie and directed by debutant Maneesh Sharma who has given a thoughtful script. Set up in bylanes of Delhi , BBB is a lovely delight to watch with your family and friends. Debut Actor Bitto Sharma played by Ranveer Singh is spot on for the role who is a graduate student from a university and wants to partner a business with Anushka Sharma as Shruthi Kakkar so that he is kept away from sugarcane field which is awaiting him in his village. Bitto is dumb but street smart and sets up up a business of Wedding planner named Shaadi Mubarak. The dialogs in the movie makes the difference in the movie.

The first part of the movie shows as how Bitto and Shruthi try to setup their wedding planning business along with other people and how they make a successful Jodi for their job. But things get down in second half when shruti breaks the rule which she made as “ Never fall in love with the person whom you do business”. Their bond breaks and they start bickering and end up splitting from their business. Too much time is wasted in how they deal with their life and they become a Jodi once again in the last 15 mins of the movie.Look out for the dumb reason where SRK could not dance for a wedding function and Bitto and Shruthi give them a pumping performance better than SRK. At the end, I would say BBB is a smart , romantic comedy movie which is entertaining in all grounds. Watch for it..

She's Out of My League(2010)

Genre: Comedy

The Movie is for all those people who think they are always average in life. But the Truth what I specifically believe is , everyone is good at something and its upto the person to make him feel better. Kirk is an average guy who works in a International Airport along with his friends. Kirk usually a down to earth guy but very low on self esteem and always considers inferior to his friends and other people around meets a gorgeous looking girl named Molly played by Alice Eve. He Considers her a Hard 10 , in comparision to him who is just a 5. He doesn’t have the thinking of Molly falling for him due to his friends who always judge him by his skiny look and his actions which is not quite manly. Also, his parents who are not supportive enough encourage him and increase his morale in life. Molly on the other hand is just looking for a simple guy to carry on a relationship. This movie is not a great watch , but some of the scenes are very hilarious. It’s a Popcorn flick. You can afford to miss this one if you are not looking for a light comedy flick.

Rating: 2/5- FAIR

The Social Network (2010)

Genre: Drama/ Biography

Directed by David Fincher “The Social Network” is a movie on founders of Current Ranking No.1 Social networking website Facebook. Aaron Sorkin the Writer of the film has adapted this movie from The Accidental Billionaires, a Nonfiction book. Jesse Eisenberg starred as Mark Zuckerberg in the movie is a nerd who has been dumped by his girlfriend, which made him to create Facebook. Zuckerberg found Facebook sitting at his Dorm room in 2004 and today is the youngest billionaire at the age of 26. Zuckerberg was shot to fame not just because of the Social networking site but also by 2 Lawsuit by 2 fellow Harvard University Twin brothers for stealing their idea of Social networking website. Another one coming from his Co-founder & CFO of Facebook Eduardo Saverin for not giving him the fair Share of Credit and share of profits.

The Social Network proves worthy in many aspects when it comes to complete movie, as its solid storyline, screenplay and edge of the seat music which thrills you down as the movie goes on. It has its own pace which grips you at every moment. Saverin played by Andrew Garfield has given a solid performance and also Justin Timberlake as Founder of Napster who befriends Zuckerberg. Jesse portrays flattering yet convincing way to show Zuckerberg as arrogant at times and another moment is nervous and innocent. Though Real Zuckerberg tells this movie is a Fiction. It’s pretty unconvincing at times. The Biggest Irony shown in the movie is the Creator of a Social Networking site Facebook has connected 500 Million people has trouble making one good friend. This film has one of the best one liners I have ever come across. Watch out for the scene when Zuckerberg is in middle of Advocates and his Response to the twin brothers. There are many scenes which will get into your nerves. So probably a Second Watch is quite natural.

Finally, The Social Network is a Compelling story about Trust and Betrayal. David Fincher Direction and Aaron Sorkin Screenplay have made Social Network a Crisp Dramatic Movie which I would recommend everyone to watch. It’s worth every penny. I give 4 out of 5 for THE SOCIAL NETWORK and looking forward to more Fincher and Sorkin Movies.

Rating: 4/5- VERY GOOD.

DABANGG(2010)

Genre: Action/ Comedy

Directed by Abhinav Kashyap DABANGG is a Cheesy Movie which is more than average film. Salman khan starred as Chulbul Pandey is a Corrupt Officer who steals money from bad guys and helps the needy. He is the protagonist of the movie who can turn down the bad guys with his Muscle power. Slow Motion Action scenes, Grass slabs breaking on faces , Bone Crunching scenes are all the specialties of DABANGG. Violence would not be so much humorous when there is groovy track at the background. Salman’s half brother Makki played by Arbaaz Khan is a lazy person who just wants to marry his girlfriend. Salman’s relationship with his Step father is like a stranger ,but is still staying in the same house because of his mom played by Dimple Kapadia. Sonakshi Sinha as Rajo is love at First sight for Chulbul who tries to help her father who is a drunker. DABANGG is a one Star movie and the Credit totally goes to SALMAN KHAN who has put humour in action scenes like the one where Ringtone plays during the Fight scene. Chulbul is confident that he is not bothered about the politician played by SONU SOOD. Half a Dozen Tracks which keeps you delighted and specially the Last one ITEM number MUNNI BADNAAM will be on ur lips for some time once you are done with the movie. Some of the scenes are hilarious like the one at the CLIMAX scene where Shirt rips off from Salman’s body due to flexing of his muscles. DABANGG though has a simple and average story which doesn’t offer much spirit, but the spunk of Salman’s character as chulbul pandey just gets into his skin and is very successful to bring out the real character in him.

Abhinav Kashyap’s DABANGG is a shear More than Average FLICK and SALMAN FANS should definitely give this a shot. Just for the Record , if u don’t know what DABANGG means, its FEARLESS

RATING: 2.5/5 - GOOD

IRON MAN 2 (2010)

Genre: Action

Sequel to IRON MAN which released in 2008, IRON MAN 2 shows you digital world and the technology used in this movie along with some Bollywood type of Action where nothing happens to the HERO of the movie in spite of innumerable bad guys or in this movie I would say as DRONES. Robert Downey Jr comes out in public and says that the person in RED suit is him or what people call him the IRON MAN . Little thus he care about the US government , who are onto tell Tony Stark to give up all his suits so that he does not misuse it or tomorrow no one should make their own suits for destruction. Vanko played by Mickey Rourke is on vengeance with Tony Stark to tell him that its not his idea to develop the Suit. Vanko gets his Financial needs and infrastructure from Tony’s Arch Rival Justin Hammer.

Out of the World technology used by Stark to show how sophisticated he is and the Amount of Sports car and destruction of his own house in a fight with his friend played by Don cheadle doesn’t deter him. To save himself from the element which keeps him alive and at the same time kills him deliberately, creating a new element is a piece of Cake for Stark. Also, Fights with innumerable IRON MAN suit Drones is like killing a Ant for IRON MAN. IRON MAN 2 is a Entertainer which is too pat and contrived. Watch it if you are a IRON MAN fan and also if you need some cheer and smile. ONE TIME WATCH Entertainer.

Piranha (2010)

Genre: Thriller

By Watching the Trailer you will get an idea as what this movie can offer. If Not that then at least in first 15 minutes you can totally make it out. Piranha is about Man eating Razor sharp tooth fish which chew on Human. They come in Bunches and specially attack on location where Blood thrives. Jake who is a son of a Local sheriff is made to look after his siblings. Julie, the Sheriff recovers the body of a person who was killed by the Man eating fish. During their research they catch the Fish and try to research. On other hand Jake leaves his siblings and goes to a Spring Beach Party that happens once a year. Things get worse when hundreds of Piranha come to attack on the Beach party. This Movie just offers Blood but no Sex. People who are looking for Blood , this is a perfect catch for you. There are many Scenes which will make you Ewwwwh… Look out for the scene Where Eli Roth(Guest Appearance) head splits. Also a Scene where a person rushes off from the boat but a Girl’s Hair is stuck on his Engine Fans. PIRANHA though might show you blood but it’s too small with a length of 1 hr 15 mins which makes me feel it aint a 3D watch at least. A perfect Home Watching movie. If it’s not for some Sleazy Scenes, You could watch it with parents J

The Expendables (2010)

Genre: Action

Expendable is a Team of mercenaries who get the job done for money. Each one is specialized in their own skill. Jason Statham is a Knife enthusiast; Jet li is a Martial Art Expert. They have Sniper and Heavy weapon specialist too to add into their group. Barney played by Sylvester Stallone who leads the Expendable group thinks of taking a job to go to a Part in South American Island where Ex CIA person has tried to reap monetary benefits from their ruler. Barney and Lee played by Statham thinks of taking a trip to the island but soon come across people with Ammunition planning to gun them down. Barney and Lee return back to the island to destroy the Troops present in the Island so that the inhabitants could lead a safe life and free them from the clutches from the BAD GUY. To Talk about Expendables, its got a Huge Star cast with many of them playing Guest Appearance like Arnold, Bruce Willis and to very extent Micky Rourke. Expendable is nothing great but a hyped movie. Its got simple plot and heavy Killings with the help of knife, Hand, Huge weapons. Loud Sound, bloods splattering are the things you will notice most of the time. It’s a Mindless Action movie wherein a Bunch of tough guys load their weapons and shoot around all the people. Worst thing in a group of 5 members battling against the odd hundreds, not even a single bullet gets inside any of them and not even a bruise in the gun battle. Some Muscle action could be seen between Steve Austin and Barney. At the end of the day, Expendable is just a mere Average Action Movie which has good amount of Action. For Fellow Action Movie lovers, Give it a SHOT

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)

Genre: Action/Thriller

A Swedish Movie which has got a lot of attention after its release. A movie which will be remade by Hollywood. Mikael a Journalist who gets sentenced for 3 month in prison is hired by a Rich person for 6 months until his prison time starts. Harriet Vanger is a 16 yr old girl who is supposedly to be dead according to the sources but no one has seen her dead body. She has just disappeared. Mikhael is teamed up with a Central Character Lisbeth who is a 24 yr old girl who has too many Tattoos and Body piercings and a professional Hacker. They both team up to investigate Harriet Vanger’s missing case. Since 40 years no one has any idea about it. Suspense and Thriller are the main thing which you will find out in this whole movie. Chapters start unveiling time by time as Mikhael and Lisbeth try to find out more about Harriet’s case. She has been murdered by some one in the Venger Clan as some of the Family members follow the Nazi rule. Lisbeth has given a superior performance right from her anger to the Sexual violence that she has experienced. A List of suspects come across in the whole story. But Suspense plays it vital role till very end which will glue the Audience to their Seats. I am really hoping that they make a pretty good remake of this movie , but the Sexual violence may not be seen as only in Other languages we see the Violence, Gore to the very max. This is one of the movies in recent times which has a good content in it.The Characters play a vital role mainly Lisbeth who has given a proper life to this movie and also Mikhael the Jounalist without whom it wouldn’t have been fruitful. Try Watching this Movie at Night.

Rating: 3/5- GOOD.

SALT(2010)

Genre: Thriller/Action

Evelyn Salt played by Angelina Jolie is a movie which has a similar kind of cheesy, never bound to happen action sequences just like WANTED. SALT has Suspense and Thriller in its kitty. But is that enough to make a movie Super hit or atleast for the Record a Good viewing Experience. SALT has Major Flaws right from Action Sequences. But the Movie is delivered so good with good amount of pace, that the viewers don’t settle to think over the previous Action sequence. Jumping from Bridges, Walking over the Wall , Giving tough Fights with Hefty Muscular Body Guards is what Agent SALT is capable of. A Informer Walks into CIA office and tells that SALT is a Russian Spy. Soon her Colleagues start doubting her integrity and she goes on the run to fight for her Identity and her Husband whom she loves a lot. SALT is not the SUPERWOMAN in this movie which can fight against all odds , but she has been portrayed in such a way that she comes clean. We can see the Conviction in her Action Sequence, her anger , her Emotional feelings. Inspite of many unrealistic scenes like one where she jumps from from a bridge over the bus and fortunately nothing happens to her with respect to someone else who would have broken his hands and legs atleast, SALT is still Crisp as before. It offers a Delightful Action scenes which will vanish off ur brains as you are done with the movie. Just a ONE TIME WATCH.

Tapped (2009)

Genre: Documentary

Tapped is one of the rarest MUST WATCH documentary. I would recommend everyone to watch. Tapped puts light on the Bottle Water Industry. 3 Corporate Companies such as Nestle, Pepsi and Coca Cola have played a major role in pumping out Ground Water from the local towns for free of cost and then process it and sell it for high margin amount of Money. 75% of Land in Earth is Covered with Water but we could just use 1% of it. There are some major Facts which I feel everyone should get to know about it. The Ill Effects of Drinking Bottled Water and its major effects on the environment mainly Climate, Water Pollution and Future Effects which can jeopardize the whole Human Living World , Aquatic world too. How Water Bottles are made in Factories and how drinking from that bottles can effect the Human Body and many such facts should be known.

Food, Inc. (2008)

Genre: Documentary

Food is a Documentary which tells us how countable numbers of multicorporationshave played a major role in the production of Food in USA and the whole world. Nowadays A Chick grows into a Chicken just in 6 weeks rather than 8 to 10 Weeks. What makes a Chicken unable to stand on its own legs when it becomes overweight. Why it is been under darkness all day long and also in small cages so that it could hardly move and quarrel with fellow chicken. Don’t expect to see the Cow in Green Grass that it depicts on the Labels of Beef Products. The Reality is far more shocking than you can ever expect. Multinational companies are ready to nail down any farmer who tries to break their rules and policies which they r made to sign from start. Infrastructure comes at a cost for which the Farmers are obliged to say YES YES for what the corporate mention. The Government and Companies are not worried about how the RAW food production can have a Adverse and deliberate effect on the Human Population residing all over the world. Earning huge profits in small span of time is what the GOAL of every company even if someone’s life is at Stake. Local Farmers Food production is way better than a Corporate logo food which is made a week ago. This is one of the Documentaries which is a MUST MUST WATCH. A EYE OPENER. You Would Ask Yourself is Eating Non Veg or to some Extent Veg food in US is SAFE.

Inception (2010)

Genre:Sci Fi/Thriller

Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan who has given a blockbuster in 2008 for THE DARK KNIGHT is back again. Its said that Nolan took nearly ten years to come up with a Script like this. Indeed this Script speaks and makes the audience think a lot.You Cannot settle and enjoy the movie like we usually do. We need to keep thinking as the movie progresses and start making a buildup of all the sequences shown. Inception needs sheer attention, because it’s not a piece of cake which everyone can easily digest. Its a Sci-fi cum thriller movie which will wind you in the thoughts of the movie and probably a second time watch too ,to get to know the whole movie perfectly.
Leonardo as Cobb is a expert in stealing ideas when they are asleep. He is hired by a Billionaire as Saito to plant an idea into his rival’s head instead of stealing one. It will cause Fischer who is Saito’s rival break his father’s business.Cobb to finish this kind of job needs Skillful people who can deliver to the most. Arthur who is his right hand, Eames who is a master of disguise and can forge anyone.Yusuf who is a Chemist. Also Ariadne who is a brilliant architect who designs the maze of the dream world. Cobb takes this risk of planting a new idea because of a guilt which has his wife(Mal) and two children. Mal usually enters in his sub conscious mind and tries to mess up his work. Nolan explains us how Cobb performs his work and how he extracts the ideas from people’s head. A whole new level of concept is shown where we have layers of subconscious mind which means dreams within dreams within dreams. The puzzle gets wider and complicated and as soon as we try to find the whole thing, we end up in a totally different situation. Not much of CGI used in the movie, cos Nolan knows a perfect amount and time when it should be shown. Look out for the scene when Cobb takes ‘Page’ to Paris and the whole city curls inside like a box. And also when Arthur fights with the Bad guys in the hotel Lobby. The Ultra Slow Motion way in a Car falling in a pool. There are so many Jaw dropping instances when the adrenalin rush is too much. Inception is the birth of the new idea which Cobb tries to infiltrate in Fischer’s brain and the film totally works for everyone because it keeps you at your toes. There is lot of curiosity and excitement as what is going to happen next. For all people who think Memento was way over your head, you can totally Count Inception too in the Kitty . It is one of the Finest movies of yr 2010 which has a strong script, Screenplay and more importantly the effort put by each and every member of this film. Leonard DiCaprio is the core person who has put his commitment ,emotions and more importantly making of a huge super hit movie. This one Totally nails your brain and you need to take one step ahead to get it right. I am going with Four out of Five for Christopher Nolan’s Inception. Watch it with Full attention and hope you get things right.

House Full (2010)

Genre:Comedy(So called)
In Housefull, director Sajid Khan has only one purpose: he wants to make you laugh. Does he accomplish this? Not often enough. Sajid Khan the Self Proclaimed Ace Director who used to brag about HOUSEFULL a year back which would be one of the super hit comedy movies is not even close to a inch being a super hit. Sajid khan has a bigger budget so he bucks in all A star actors in the movie thinking people will come to watch it. Let everyone know that a movie does not run by just an Actor. Ofcourse a head start is bound to be there, but later on its the movie storyline and whole plot that makes a movie superhit.Aarush played by Akshay Kumar is a loser and is very unlucky for everyone quits his job at a casino and moves with his friend.Actually there is nothing much that could be written for this movie.Sajid Khan himself written the story ,forcefully wants his audience to laugh for his cheap shit comedy.Sajid who boasts about being a movie buff has literally copied movie scenes from THE HANGOVER and NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM. Such a Loser. There is not even a single character who can totally make the audience laugh or giggle for the moment. Boman Irani tries to be funny with his gujarati accent, but still doesnt offer the quality that he did in Hey Baby.What this movie offer is a Two piece Bikini on the ladies at the beach. HOUSEFULL is a mediocre film and a cheap entertainer. I would not even call it a Comedy movie because it does give a feeling to the viewers that they need their money and time back. This Movie can be totally compared with RAM GOPAL VERMA ki AAG. HOUSE FULL is FULL OF SHIT!!!!!

P.S : Sajid one suggestion which i would specifically give u, plz do not proclaim a movie super hit before it releases. You and your Movies SUCK BIG TIME.

Rating:0/5- SCREWED UP SHIT!!!! ( Dont Bother Watching it) I Pity myself

Kites (2010)

Genre:Romance
Directed by Anurag Basu and Story by Rakesh Roshan , Kites is one of those movies which will totally chill your eyes Without doubt, Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori are two of the prettiest people you’re going to see on screen.Hrithik is handsome in looks and impeccable in his dancing steps and Barbara is lovely and has a feisty spirit.But is that enough to make a movie hit and successful. Jai and Natasha are street smart hustlers who just want to be rich so they end up marrying two rich people. But their trip to richness soon falls down when they fall in love with each other.They cant understand each other because jai doesnt know spanish and Natasha doesnt know english , but still they try to understand each other by their smoldering looks.Then starts the chase from the rich guy who is new comer and is the son of Kabir Bedi. They go on chasing Jai and his fiancee and we get to see some real lame dialogs like Go Get Him, Catch and Kill him. There is a typical old bollywood style when there is a cop chase and second half merely shows the landscapes of Mexico. Kites is merely a Dumb movie which Roshans and Basu are trying to stretch the boundaries of Bollywood love stories.A Big NO NO for this movie. i dont see any reason for anyone to watch Kites because its merely a Pain and a Time consuming piece of Crap with nothing different to offer.

Rating: 1/5- POOR

Raajneeti (2010)

Genre:Drama/Crime
Raajneeti, writer-director Prakash Jha’s sprawling portrait of a political family is a mixed bag of all emotions, crime, drama, romance.The first half had a propulsive movement but later on it becomes inert at the second half.There are strong performances seen by Ranbir Kapoor , Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar, Manoj Bakpai(Mesmerizing).Rajneeti is a film with ambition a nd scale but it works in fits and spurts. Jha’s political epic is too busy and bumpy and never quite fulfils the potential inherent in the story. Rajneeti sources much from Mahabarata where every other person is a cousin and relative to each other. Ajay Devgan who is the Karna of the movie is deprived by his mother during his birth and later on brought up in a Dalit Family. Soon within the next 15 mins Jha makes no mistake but tells the whole relationship between the starcast by a narrator.Samar played by Ranbir kapoor has shown some impeccable performance where on one end he is a mature PhD Learning guy and then soon who gets sucked into the vicious political family rivalry.Manoj Bajpai and Rampal are one the characters who have worked extremely good and they have totally nailed the role.Nana Patekar acts as Krishna who is the path finder. Rajneeti is a 3 hour long movie which would have been scaled down to 15 mins less. But a Movie with such a huge star cast really needs time to show as what is really happening in the movie. This is one of the Good movies i would recommend to watch because its got a perfect political essence with huge number of twists.

Ishqiya set at Northern part of India totally shows up in the characters in the movie. The Accent, Dressing sense, the Environment everything plays a major role in this movie.The one liners in the movie are not to be missed as that gives us humor. All the 3 characters have shown impeccable performance. Vidya Balan who used to be a House hold girl in Parineeta has come out of bounds for this movie. Arshad and shah have shown amazing friend and foe chemistry.Ishqiya is not about Bad words in the film .It will totally cheer you up with the dialogs and the screenplay . One of the Best movies of year 2010 so far

But does it arrive.. Hell YEA!!! Howz that possible now? The Day After Tomorrow is Ridiculous and the Special effects are stupendous. Watch out for a nice time !!!!!

Watch it for the Comedy minus Storyline.

Role Models (2008)

Genre: Comedy
Role Models starring Sean William Scott and Paul Rudd as Wheeler and Danny get in a fight with a truck driver which lands them in court and they choose Community Service over Prison. Both of them were like the Big Brothers and were assigned two candidates Augie and Ronny respectively. Wheeler who is always ready for empty sex and Danny who has just broken up with this girl friend have some reason to do in community service. Augie being a Geek is into a Medieval period society and is often considered a noobie in front of his parents needed moral support from a guy like Danny. On the Other hand Ronny who is a Foul mouthed Afro American Kid. Things go pretty well and they were about to finish their 150 hours of community service , they mess things up. Can Danny and Wheeler be the real Role Models for Augie and Ronny? Role Models doesnt really show us in a proper context. Its got some light comedy scenes and some pretty good one liners from Sean William Scott. Watch it if you want to watch. Else you can pass it.

A Complete History of My Sexual Failures (2008)

Genre: Documentary
Acted and Directed by Chris Waitt is making a documentary on his love Failures and one day he decides to interview all his ex girlfriends as why they dumped him. The Documentary looked pretty good at the start looking at Waitt's approach towards his ex mates. But then it looked so bad that we feel as if we are watching for the heck of it. Torn pants, Messy Hairdo , Untidy room all adds to it. I dont know what Waitt was tryin to show in the movie. Was he miserable in his life or he wants to document all his love failures. It looked pretty awful as the movie went on. Cheesy at the start but fades away totally till the end. Not Worth a Watch

Rating: 1/5- POOR

Its just about a person who tries to do this work irrespective of which industry he is working in and the amount of people trying to bring the Industry and himself down. Watch out for Mesmerizing dialogs and one liners which will cheese you up throughout the Movie. But Nick does everything for a Mortgage MUST WATCH
