Sita Sings The Blues Movie Review

Basic Plot: Valmiki
Everything else: Neena Paley

The animation looked good, amidst of all the 3D movies these days...
The movie was also good, and the way they narrated it was also nice...
The now- and then english songs bored me a little, though....

There was a great song, about Sri Rama, i really wonder why RSS people didnt take any action against Nina Paley, the mother of the movie...

9/10
(8 for the movie, and +1 for the effort Nina Paley took, for making this movie reach the public....)

Note: You can also download and watch the movie for free from the official website www.sitasingstheblues.com

Dabangg Movie Review

Director: Abhinav Singh Kashyap
Cast: Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Sonu Sood, Sonakshi Sinha, Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Mahesh Manjarekar
Mindless entertainer, the movie has all chances to become an all time blockbuster...
Abhinav Singh Kashyap gets an excellent launch...
Its Salman Khan everywhere, totally Salman, Salman, Salman...
Among others, all did well, Sonakshi Sinha had not much role...
The script has some flaws, but we dont care about them, because of the amazing wall, Salman!!

One notable scene to prove the director was the one in which Salman wears the glass to hide his tears...
Dialogues have punch in them....

Sure BB...
4/5

PS: expected a Golmaal 3 theatrical in the show, but disappointed...
they skipped the trailers....

Hello Darling Movie Review

Director: Manoj Tiwari
Cast: Jaaved Jaffrey, Gul Panag, Celina Jeitley, Eesha Koppikar, Sunny Deol
The movie is an illegal adaptation of some hollywood movie, which Kamalhaasan had earlier copied to Tamil.
When you copy something, do it properly, in an entertaining manner.
Here, the director Manoj Tiwari failed even to do that.
The only grace was the good performance from Javed Jaffery.
Everything else was a burden, from Divya Dutta’s Gujrati accent to Celina Jeitley’s stupid gestures, and Pritam’s songs, except one song…
Gul Panag and Esha Kopikar were kinda ok, but Celina Jeitley spoiled the show with her crappy acting..
And the couple Celina-Chunkey Pandey was quite ironically funny, like Vivek-Trisha in Tamil.
:P

Sunny Deol's cameo created no impact....
On the whole, an interesting concept spoiled by an uninteresting script and below average performances…

4.5/10

We Are Family Movie Review

Director: Siddharth P Malhotra
Cast: Kajol Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal

I haven’t watched Stepmom, so cant compare this with the original…
Anyway, this itself is a very good movie you can watch with your family or your spouse.
This is not a kind of full entertainment movie, of course, the movie has its light moments, but the main task is far more than brainless entertainment…

Siddharth Malhotra, the debutant did a very good job as the director.
Performance wise, Kareena and Kajol were equally good, both of them acted very very well…
Arjun Rampal was also good, he did complete justice to the character..
In fact, he is one of the very few actors in Indian film industry, who can portray this role…
The kids were very good, especially, the eldest girl. Some of her expressions were just WoWWW!!!
The youngest girl was so cute, she was like a doll in Bumm Bumm Bole also…
The other child, the boy was also good, don’t know why, he did not get that much role as of the other two.

Music department, not so great…
I saw many people praising a song Hamesha & Forever, I didn’t feel anything for the song…
In fact, the other songs like Aankhon Mein Neendein, Reham O Karam and Let’s Rock were nice…

A good movie, on the whole..
8.5/10

Piranha 2D Movie Review

Director: Alexandre Aja
Cast: Many animated Piranhas, Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott, Jerry O'Connell, Ving Rhames, Jessica Szohr etc

In June, i watched a movie Mirrors.
After that, i searched about that in the net, and from wikipedia, i came to know that the director is doing a 3d film Piranha.
That time little i thought even in my dreams that i would watch that movie in a multiplex, in Bangalore!!

1 week after that, the company im working in now asked me to join the company, and i shifted to bangalore in june last week..
I had forgotten about Piranha, and i wanted 'Kajraare' to be the first film i watch from a multiplex..
But situations got worse and Kajraare was postponed, and on friday i read a review about Piranha here...
I wanted to watch a bloodshed movie in 3D, so i badly wanted to watch it as soon as possible...
I booked the ticket, and i went for the show...

Damn, it was 2D here...
:(

Anyway, i managed to getr in and sit...
The hall had, apart from me, 3 couples only..

Film started..
Lot of bikinis, and it didnt really meet my expectations...
I wanted to watch some real violence and blood, but this was more skinshow and less violence...

Anyway, i liked the ending of the movie...

Ok-ok movie, hmm, we cant expect more from the director of the 'Mirrors'

5/10

Tere Bin Laden Movie Review

Director:
Abhishek Sharma
Cast: Ali Zafar, Pradhuman Singh, Sugandha Garg, Piyush Mishra etc

Super film in all aspects...
Usually, almost every good film starts well, but lags a little in its second hour...
Even after this much efforts, most of the film makers are not able to overcome this problem...
You can see a lag somewhere, in almost every film, whether its a classic or a crap...

But, surprisingly Tere Bin Laden never showed such a trend, i dont remember which was the previous film that entertained me this much...

The protagonist Ali Zafar is a complete discovery!!!
Heard he is doing next film with Yashraj Films...
All the best Ali, musically you are a genius, now you proved that acting wise also you are great...
we want to see you more on screen..

And Pradhuman Singh, who portrayed Noora (Laden) is perfect, and very good in his role...
All other people were also very good...

I dont want to say more, such films happen VERY VERY Rarely....
DO NOT MISS SUCH GEMS AT ANY COST...

9.5/10

Aashayein Music Review

Director: Nagesh Kukunoor
Starring: John Abraham, Sonal Sehgal, Girish Karnad, Anaita Nair etc.

Music: Pritam, Salim Merchant-Sulaiman Merchant, Shiraz Uppal

The movie Aashayein was shot around 2-3 years back, but due to some issues, was delayed.
I was curious about the music of Aashayein, when i saw a song of it in TV randomly.
The song featured Pritam and Neeraj Shridhar singing something, and it felt like usual Pritam-ish composition.
Later i downloaded the songs and started listening.

Mera Jeena Hai Kya- Neeraj Shridhar ( Music: Pritam ).
A good song which grows on you, the growing instrumentals in the background are awesome, and Neeraj Shridhar has sung it well.. Some portions are so Pritam-ish but still the song is a good composition, and the lyrics are also equally good.
7.5/10.

Dilkash Dildaar Duniya- Shaan, Tulsi Kumar ( Music: Pritam ).
Somewhat horrible, with the bad voice of Tulsi Kumar and some cliche lyrics.
The title portion of the song is very good, but song doesnt come to that level...
Tulsi Kumar gave us a fantastic 'Tum Jo Aaye' before a month, but this is sung so badly by her.
4/10.

Rabba- Shiraz Uppal.
Above average track, i havent listened it more that 4-5 times...
Not that much addictive, but still a honest attempt..
5.5/10

Ab Mujhko Jeena- Zubeen (Music: Salim-Sulaiman).
Wooooooooooooooooooooow!!!!! Lovvvvvvve this song...
Excellently performed by Zubeen, this song is very good.
Salim-Sulaiman's potential is revealed again..
8/10.

Shukriya Zindagi- Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan (Music: Salim-Sulaiman).
Goddddd!!!! Another gem again!!!
Great song with great lyrics, great style of singing and great music..
Simply great!!!
The remix also rocks!!!
9.5/10.

Pal Mein Mila Jahan- Shreya Ghoshal/ Shankar Mahadevan (Music: Salim-Sulaiman).
Boring song, both the versions seemed quite boring...
3/10.

Chala Aaya Pyar- Mohit Chauhan (Music: Salim-Sulaiman).
Another excellent song sung by Mohit Chauhan, very good in all aspects...
9/10.

On the whole, its a very good album...
Gems: Ab Mujhko Jeena, Shukriya Zindagi, Chala Aaya Pyar.
PS: The lyrics by Mir Ali Husain and Sameer are excellent, too!!!!

Overall Rating: 7.5/10.
