Jab We Met (2007)

Awesome movie man! loved it totally. No one can replace Kareena Kapoor in this movie, her character will stay associated with her for a long long time in my mind. Shahid Kapoor is equally irreplaceable.

'Geet' really is capable of causing the kind of turnaround in life that 'aditya' experienced. So full of life!

A thoroughly feel good movie in the end :)

Dil Dosti Etc (2007)

The character of Apurv (Immaduddin Shah) is probably one of its kind in bollywood. His nonchalance in the face of the shit that he gets himself into is remarkably portrayed. Father's son after all!! On the other hand, Sanjay Mishra (Shreyas Talpade) is cliched to the core. Director Manish Tiwary, probably wanted to exemplify the contrast, but to me it spelt disaster. The film lost its freshness and took on familiar hues.

There is no lesson in the movie, not that there should be one; rather i now appreciate the fact that there is no subtle preaching. It is just another example of how life can be, how different life can be for different people.

I enjoyed the movie, hassle free entertainment

300 (2006)

Brilliant action sequences define this movie. Nothing else warrants a special mention. Gerard Butler as Spartan King Leonidas exemplifies bravery. He essays the role to perfection, i'd say.

Director, zack Snyder does a great job of illustrating the Spartan way of life.

300 is the adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel by the same name. He's noted for works like 'Daredevil' and 'Sin City' which have both been adapted into movies.

Om Shanti Om (2007)

I'm just back from the theatre and this is one helluva movie. Om Shanti Om redefines the words/phrases 'unique', 'class of its own', 'out of this world' and a lot more.
Farah Khan!! after Main Hoon Na, i really didn't want to see another film by you. I now owe you an apology.

Shahrukh Khan is his usual best. Being the lover boy is his core competency and he proves that to the hilt yet again.

Deepika Padukone is not merely eye candy. She is a terrific actress considering that this is her first bollywood film. The innocence on her face is remarkable and blends perfectly with her role.

The comedy is spot on, if you will attune yourself to it. Yes, its very important that you read the movie.

The art direction is superb. The intelligence that has gone into some of the scenes is commendable. A pat on your back Mr. Sabu Cyril

To think about it, there's nothing else special in this movie, but the way everything gels together, thats a masterstroke and thats where i shower praise on Farah Khan and the Editor, Shirish Kunder An out and out entertainer. Don't expect this movie to make it to a hall of fame, don't expect it to make its way to movie literature and don't expect this movie to get you thinking....coz Om Shanti Om is just a fun ride..enjoy it, forget it

This movie WILL NOT find acceptance with the rays, the Benegals, the Coppolas, the Scorceses, but frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn! (u'll know what i mean)

Go watch it!!

P.S Special mention of Farah Khan, who so deservingly always introduces the brilliant people behind the cameras at the end of the movie. These people are evenly responsible for making a film what it becomes.

Rocky (1976)

The first serving in the 6 course delight, that is the Rocky series. Surprisingly, i saw this after having seen all the sequels. So knew the story and all. I've realized one thing though; watching movies is not a group activity. If you wanna enjoy a movie, watch it alone, preferably in the dark.

I love this pic on the right. It single handedly captures the essence of the whole rocky series. The indom- itable spirit that is rocky balboa, the all-heart champion. It is for the beauty in the character, that rocky is such a great movie

A Good Year (2006)

very touching movie. The Screenplay is so sensitive that you live through the characters. Of course a lot of credit goes to the cast for that. Rivetting performance from one and all. Russell Crowe is at his best as always. I was smitten by his secretary, played by archie Punjabi. She looks so, pardon me, hot in her role, that i've made a note to watch all her movies. Extremely sharp character fittingly assigned to a woman with razor sharp features. Then as the ruthless investment broker, Max Skinner (Crowe) heads to France to receive his uncle's estate bequeathed to him, rather interestingly, we, through him, encouter such amazing characters as the irritable vineyard manager (Didier Bourdon), the magnanimous housekeeper (Isabelle Candelier) and the enchanting young restaurateur (Marion Cotillard). There is something about the French and sensuality, no one has it better. With such a vibrant mix of personalities, it is a brilliant foundation for the plot to unravel itself and it does, ever so gently. At the end of it all, you feel a deep sense of happiness. Lovely movie!

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)

I don't have words for this movie. its something, just something!! you'll laugh, rest assured.

Sacha Baron Cohen, otherwise famous as Ali G is the protagonist. Typical weirdo performance from him. you should check out the Ali G show, love his language there!

no ratings again!!
