Excellent political drama.
Very good dialogues.
Strong story with elements from Mahabharat and Godfather.
Excellent casting and solid acting by the star cast.
Nana Patekar gives a subtle and subdued performance that woos you.
A bit long with stretched 2nd half.
Thankfully no stupid songs.
Ranbir kapoor for the first time impressed me.
While other stalwarts were stupendous.
Katrina Kaif does well too.
Arjun Rampal continues to improve.
If you like serious movies don't miss this.
Watched Shrek Forever and After:-
It is a fun filled thrilling adventure.
If you don't mind love stories and fairy tales, you shouldn't miss this one.
It is an engrossing movie, makes you wonder why it doesn't go on and on.
Animations are top-notch, 3-D effects are subtle.
All voice-overs are superb and whacky.
Villain of the story is very well and evil, as he should be.
Love stories are rarely well said than this (p.s. Anurag Basu).
It is a perfect combo of fairytale, fantasy, humor, drama and life lessons.
It is said its final part of Shrek series, so what are you waiting for?
"Shrek Forever After- gives us the chance to fall in love with the entire franchise all over again. Only you don't have to sign your life away to figure that one out." - Adam Tobias
Paid Preview of KITES :-
Slow love story with mix of action.
Hrithik Roshan is excellent but at times felt confused about emotions to show.
Barbara is hottest and acted quite competently, at times felt like overdoing "I am sexy latino" thing, but yet nothing you would found too unusual
The villain (Nick Brown) is average/boring. He just makes faces and shouts, no menace, in beginning he does well, then it deteriorates.
Kabir bedi and Kangana (cutie!!) are wasted.
Not much of a story, and english-spanish dialogues had neither smart one-liners, nor regal romantic quotes.
Chemistry between the leads was there, but yet, something was missing.
In the first half you may think the movie will pick up pace, but the thrill is absent and whatever scope there was for adrenaline has been wasted on excellent cinematography.
A very stylish movie, which fall shorts in other departments, except Hrithik Roshan who was good. But is it enough to carry this movie forward, I doubt.
Hrithik Roshan fans don't miss it, others can watch on TV.
I watched Iron Man 2 on Saturday.
It is an explosive action packed Block Buster.
Robert Downey Jr. shines throughout, he adds something more to any character he plays.
Don Cheadle and Mickey Rourke were underused but were solid, Scarlett Johansson is yummy, Sam Rockwell and Gwyneth Paltrow are perfect in their roles.
Movie has excellent special effects.
It has decent storyline, good one-liner's and exciting pace.
Super heroes have issues too, and Tony Stark has them king-size and he handles them in his flashy yet quirky style.
Some say 1st movie was better. I say chuck the comparison and go out there and enjoy.

I am sitting in shade on the terrace of my apartment as the May heat thaws assortment of red chilies left out to dry. Yeah I am in place of a scarecrow, to scare away, not just crows, but also pigeons and sparrows, or at least those curious enough to poke their beaks into the chilies.
The chilies are being dried for our well known “Malwani Masala” which we (mom/dad) make at home for “domestic consumption”. Yeah we do give some to friends and relatives. I just love it. I love spices, so much that sometimes I cant eat pizza without adding

Mumbai suburban railway motormen strike has finally been called off, ending hell for many. I ride bike to work so I was affected only by the increased road traffic due to non-operation of trains.
Also watched Housefull on Monday.
A typical Sajjid-Akki flick.
Its a no-brainer comedy with a dash of emotions and stupidity. You may enjoy it once, but if you like movies like Hey-Babby, De-Dhan-Dhan, etc you may like it a lot.
Boman Irani very good but slightly over-the-top.
Arjun Rampal had a small part but was ok, his real test would be “Rajneeti”.
Among the girls, Deepika was enchanting; Lara kept up the oomph factor, while Jiah was sparsely used.
Randhir Kapoor seemed drunk or too-jolly throughout. Not a great comeback.
Akshay Kumar was solid as usual. He was funny and sensitive but within the boundaries of his movie character.
A fun filled entertainer where there is negligible over acting. Critics will hate it, masses will love it. Just watch it to be entertained not to learn a life altering lesson. You decide.

I am not sure what to post. Earlier a flash of creativity used to make me post something good. Nowadays my posts have become like Facebook updates. Of course, I can't deny that morning tea tastes good only when reading newspapers or facebook status updates.
Its Sunday, and steaming/yummy poha is enticing me so I should try and post a bit faster. But its really difficult because I am still staring at this small plant on my desk and wondering what to write about.
Yesterday two wall lizards (tiny ones) waltzed into my sisters room, and she freaked out. Part of the reason for her "freaking out" is that once a lizard had fallen on her head. Well, I rushed in and had to ki.... (next part had to be censored because of risk of protests from PETA), as they were trying to hide into tiny gaps.
So after such brutal assaults on these creatures I need to go and confess my sins to god and ask for forgiveness.
I have not yet recovered from the hangover of eating to many veg. cutlets yesterday and it is having adverse effects on my writing, I better stop.
Adios !!
Watched "Prince".
Enjoyed making fun of stupid scenes.
A couple of smart scenes were applauded.
Plot is not intelligent and too mashed up.
Dialogues were cheesy not one memorable
There is 5% thrill, even though the special effects are top quality (bollywood standards).
Sound effects were excellent too, but movie had unnecessary songs and that irritating singer loved by everyone called Atif Aslam
But action scenes were bland. It was as if they all were trying too hard to be cool. And ended up looking dumb.
Aruna Shields was only eye candy in spite of the movie starring two other actresses, the reason is she acted better than both.
Vivek Oberoi was disappointing, I expected more from him, looking at his performance in "Shootout at Lokhandwala", "Company", "Dum", "Saathiya", "Yuva" , "Mission Istanbul" it was a valid request. Alas he was suffering from the same "I have to look cool" syndrome as everyone in the movie.
Prince is a "campy" or "Cheesy" movies.
The makers of the movie tried too hard, they should have watched 16th December, not the best, but at least it had decent plot in the 1st half. And also they can learn from "Blue" for action sequences. Action sequences isn't about slow motion, its about thrilling people.
Mind you thriller doesn't mean you add stupid twists.
It is only appealing (to me) because of its bad taste and ironic value.
I still think, "Tashan" is my favorite cheesy film of recent time, even "Race" was better than "Prince" according to me, maybe because of Anil Kapoor.
Its fine, if you miss it in theaters, but watch it on TV, if you are curious.
Watched Clash of the Titans
Here is a short review:-
Thrilling action sequences
Superb acting
Good script
Predictable climax but worth it
Perfect sound effects
Scenic locations
And very good one-liners!!
I didn't watch the movie in 3D, but loved it in 2D.
Go for it if you like action movies and don't mind Greek mythology.
