Good Will Hunting (1997)

This is what terrific acting does to a movie. it skyrockets its reputation. Matt Damon, Robin Williams, Stellan Skarsgård make sure u don't take your eyes off the screen. That can seriously influence your opinion.

Its a good movie for its actors. The plot is just another set-someone's-life-straight saga otherwise, even bordering the absurd at times. Oh well! its outright text-book cinema when you consider minnie driver's role

Mithya (2008)

I expected much more from Ranvir and Vinay. Maybe that hyped the movie in my mind. no, I don't think so. Mithya is a bad film. The script probably had potential, but the treatment was pedestrian.

The characters were very colourful and interesting to watch. They kept my mind off the seriousness, if any, implied in the screenplay. That should be a drawback; lack of a tight screenplay. Also too many characters spoil the film!!

Come to think of it, its the exuberance of its motley of characters that cost this film its reputation.

Neha Dhupia looks good throughout. Thats one plus!
