Lakshya

Yesterday, I watched Lakshya. This is the kind of movie , which makes sense, u tend to think about the subject , emotions, no nonsense artificial emotions, but emotions that relate to the current world. Movie is amazing, after seeing Jodhaa Akbar and Lakshya, I feel that Hrithik is a really good actor, and there is no doubt about that.

I was also impressed that young film makers like Farah Akhtar and Ashutosh Gowarikar are making good no nonsense films.

I would give this movie Lakhshya a * * * * * * 7 Stars.

One thing I didn't like about the movie is again the pace of the movie. Kind of get a bit dull in the middle, and at the end.

Pace is the one thing that keeps a viewer engaged with the movie for the whole time period. One thing that is missing in Indian films is the pace. This might be due to the longer duration of the film. There are nice songs in the movie with excellent music, but again one thing that I don't like is songs that suddenly pops up out of nowhere. Just inserted in the film for the sake of inserting, not linked with movie storyline at all.

 

Italian Job

****** 6 stars our of 10

Italian Job as compared to Ocean series is a bit more entertaining although less thought is put into the film, but has more action. Many of my friends liked to my surprise liked the Italian Job much more than Ocean series. Italian Job is easy to understand movie with right balance of action , glamour, and style. But me an Ocean's Series fan would give a slight notch less marks to Italian Job as compared to Ocean 11.

Also I am starting to think of rating movies, as I give out the rating , I think it might become in future an interesting blog.

Let me start the job with rating ITALIAN JOB itself.

I would give it a rating of ****** 6 stars our of 10.

Italian Job is about a gang of thieves who take revenge with a team member after he ditches them just for money. Although Story seems a bit common , the job they perform is quite interesting with the dialogues and I would not lie , I had watched the movie specially to see Charlize Theron. She looked amazing.

Jodhaa Akbar

I was waiting for the movie to release anxiously, when released I was a bit disappointed by reading the reviews. However I got the chance to see the movie. The movie I personally feel is not as bad as review suggest. It is different kind of movie. You cannot expect every movie to be full of emotions drama and action. By the way Ashutosh has done pretty good job in putting some drama in the picture. One thing that disappointed me the most is the pace of the movie. Not that movie is "slow paced", but the movie is not evenly paced.

Further what I like in the movie is definitely the chemistry between the two main leads. Further which was interesting to watch was how Ashutosh handled the issue of Hindu and Muslim tradition and their interaction.

I would have like to see more History to be intermingled with the story. Also what was Akbar's line of thinking on various occasions? What are the factors which he considers when making decisions. If you watch movie closely you would feel like he had made decisions with lot of thinking but you will fail to understand those factors which he thinks about.

It was a good movie at the end , but yes failed to make the edge everybody was expecting and not as bad as everybody ( reviewers) says it is.

Taare Zameen Par

One of the finest movie of Bollywood in recent times. I am not going into details as everybody must have read about it or seen it. Just here like to mention the scene that i liked the most.

The whole idea of showing a drawing competition is excellent. Loved the whole scene , specially the one where young Ishant sees that his teacher ( Amir Khan ) has made his portrait. The emotion that burst out of the young lad is amazing. I still don't understand howcome a young artist could perform like this.

One more thing which came out is that, the movie was a hit. Generally this kind of movie does not do very well on Indian screens. But Amir Khan proved that Indian Audience have come to an age where they can appreciate a really good movie.

I feel this might be a turnaround like the one in Indian Cricket Team.
