Kites Movie Review

The starting of the movie reveals the ending of the movie. However one would not comprehend the same till the end. The movie is all about true love. Two very ordinary people who struggle to make a living just get a chance to get rich overnight. However they forgo the same for true love.

The glam quotient added by Hrithik was really impressive. There was one particular dance sequence shot with Hrithik and Kangana. I wonder if the adeptness for such suave moves comes naturally to him or is it practice. He did very well. 

Well coming to Kangana Ranaut, I think post the movie Fashion all roles she got were only because of her body and nothing else. Very early in the movie, she, while sitting on the bed crosses her legs and exposes more than her thighs. Of course it was quick. This was something like the stunt done by Sharan Stone in Basic Instinct in front of the cop; the only difference here, in Kites, is there is a garment and the action was quick.

Movie goes pretty slow and most of the times I was confused trying to classify the movie. I mean, is it a Hindi movie or an English one or is it a Spanish? Most of the time we were busy reading the sub-titles. The most important ingredients missing out of the movie were comedy and a continuously ticking story line. If you have ever watched the Ramanand Sagar Ramayan on TV in the nineties, there were few episodes where the only content was Lord Shriram looking at Devi Sita and nothing else but some background score. Similarly goes the movie here for most of the time. 

However I would say people who are in true love will certainly like the movie. The movie is not for people who like something like Bourne Ultimatum where things keep moving. Its a very slow paced love movie. So it is suggested to watch this movie only when you are not bored and that too with the one you love. Not a movie to go with friends.

My rating: 3/5

My Verbal rating: Good movie on true love. However not for people who are interested even in a little action, cos there is no action at all.

Darling Telugu Movie Review

Darling, name given for the heck of filling the title is a good comedy movie. Prabhas and his group of friends including the villain have put decent efforts to make us laugh almost every moment.

The story runs around Prabhas and his childhood love and another girl who falls in the triangle. The movie was shot in the wonderful locations of Switzerland showcasing decent locations.

Now the best part I like in the movie is this. Once due to certain difficulties the hero and his group get, kind of jailed in a slum in Switzerland. Then a guy in the group says I never thought there were slums in Switzerland; why the heck was "Slumdog Millionaire" shot in India when there are slums even here? I clapped heart-fully to this dialogue. Something to ponder???

Well the movie is worth the money invested as it really gives you the comedy ride and makes you laugh well. However there were two minor things which I wanted to highlight in spite of them being minor.

1. Prabhas Wardrobe: I am not sure which idiot took care of his new style of clothing in this movie, however the clothing was awful and pathetic.

2. I have an example. If you goto any small restaurant for lunch/dinner in South India you would observe that many items which are supposed to be dry are generally wet and in fact contain a lot of water. If you bring the same chef home and tell him there is no need adulterate for profits he still mixes water because that is in his blood now.

Similarly Andhra movie directors, however good they make a film they can't spell complete without one or two silly/sleazy scenes which look awful for any ordinary human being with brain.

My rating: 3/5
My verbal rating: Watch the movie for a good laugh. Its a family movie. Actress Kajal Agarwal somehow kept all her clothes on.

Iron Man 2 Movie Review

First question: Have you watched Iron Man? If yes ...

Second question: What would you script for your sequel movie if you have used all your ideas in your first?

Simple answer is beat around the bush and try and make the two hours count somehow. Correct? I am sure I am and something very similar happened with Iron Man 2. The first movie had so much of Sci-fi and novel ideas that I thought the director ran out of any more ideas for the sequel. Thus created one with sentiment, a little politics and some glam less sci-fi.

However there seems to be one good message out of the movie. If you ever happen to realize that someone ranks high in intellect to you, you better try and dwell into their lives. They certainly leave a message, if not for the whole world, at least for a few.

The movie would be good to watch for once, however no regrets if you missed it. Watch part I again and you should be happier than watching this.

My rating: 2.5/5
My verbal rating: Okay types. Not bad

Yem Maya Chesave - Movie Review

After months of waiting and because of lot of my friends and known people telling me that it was a good movie, I have attempted to watch this movie.

Now I have some friends who do not expect anything from life and they just take what it comes. Well that is their way of life. We cannot have everyone like me, who expects something when invested in something or may be a kind of maverick.

So my review is not for those who take life as it comes.

To say in short this movie neither has anything good to talk about nor anything bad to criticize. This is a typical Ramoji Rao kind of venture sans the twists. There was neither fun nor there was action nor romance nor a punch story. A typical Andhra film story which as always runs around stupid love and ends no where but either a fight or bride running away at last moment.

Yeah may be for a while certain picturesque places of "God's own country" have been shown as most of the movie runs around a Keralite girl.

To stop beating around the bush and to put it short, this movie is for those people who are ... to tell you with an example.

Recently when I was driving to office, I spotted a girl in a call center cab next to my car. She was sitting at one corner squeezed up and holding the door handle and couple of other men in similar positions in the back seat. These people can either be classified as unfortunate or those who do not struggle enough in life to avoid that kind of a squeezed life.

For such people this movie should be good because they just go to a movie for the heck of it.

For people who want either drama, action whatever there could be in a movie, you are up for a total loss.

My Rating: 2/5
My Verbal Rating: I have given 2 above for certain locations and some intimate scenes that were shot with grace. Nothing else. Watch it on TV; it will be soon on our MAA channel.

Housefull - Movie Review

What else could happen when Sajid Khan and Akshay kumar pair up? A wonderful blast of laughter. However the one little change this time is the higher volume of Nitrous Oxide is packed for the part after the break. The first part of the movie goes a little normal.

Now as usual, our Bollywood babes have been used completely and fully in the prostitutionaly ... oops sorry glamorous ways. Every one was bought one bikini which could show them as sleazy as possible and the heroines very comfortably wore those clothing.

I remember once Smt. Asha Bhonsle explaining how a particular song can be sung in numerous ways. She just took one single chorus and sang it in different moods; viz, sad, happy, sexy, romantic ... as far as I remember.

Similarly a woman's body is supposed to be a sensual/subtle thing. People should have an aesthetic mind to show case the sensuality and bring in the right kind of pleasure. Just stripping a woman does not precisely ring the bell, unless you are seeing her for the first time like that.

Okay leaving my philosophy aside, the movie is a overflow of comedy. Boman Irani, Lara Dutta and very well our king Akshay have made it a blast of laughter.

It is a must watch as it acts as a good break from our normal routines.

My Rating: 3/5
My Verbal Rating: A must watch in theater. so that you can have fun without disturbance of either a cellphone or a door bell ring.
