5 in 1!

I am back to blogging after a short break. There were several topics on which I intended to write, but couldn’t due to lack of time or interest. In this post I have compiled my reviews/opinions about a few movies which I watched in the recent past.

 

The Dark Knight

A blockbuster of this year. The sequel to Batman begins, went on breaking a few records in terms of box office collections. The highlight of the movie is the Psycho villain, Joker played by Heath Ledger. The Joker was so impressive that I could see quite a few friends updating to his pics in their social networking sites, frequently using the phrase “Why so serious?” etc etc. The movie is not a typical superhero movie type, where the superhero emerges out of no where and saves the people. Here the focus is on the mind games played by the Joker and the Batman! Complicated huh! The movie has some very good action scenes, especially the one in which the Batman uses Batpod. The movie runs very fast and I had to watch it twice to get the flow J . The back ground music when the joker emerges was quite irritating I must say. But it was adding to the effect. I would give it a rating of 3.5 out of 5.

 

Bachna Ae Haseeno

This is the second movie of Ranbir Kapoor, a new found Hero of Bollywood. After hopelessly failing to impress audience in his first movie, RK is back on the screen romancing three hotties this time. In the movie RK is a flirt who is interested only in Live in relationships. When the topic of marriage comes, he runs off. In the process he breaks hearts of Minissha Lamba and Bipasha Basu. Later he falls in true love with Deepika Padukone and when she rejects him, he realizes the similar mistakes he has done with other girls. Now his journey for repentance starts. I must admit that Deepika looks awesome in the movie. So if not for anything, it’s worth watching the movie for her. I would rate the movie 2.5 + 0.5 (for Deepika) out of 5.

 

 

  A Wednesday

This one is a suspense thriller. A new genre of movies of Bollywood which does not cast a conventional Hero, Heroine nor includes any songs. I guess this should be a relief for people who are fed up of Bollywood prototype movies. The movie has Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah in lead roles and runs for 90 minutes. I am not going to reveal any story because this movie is worth watching atleast once. And trust me this movie has got one of the best endings! This movie reminded me of ‘Amir’, which too is of similar types.

I would rate it 4 on 5.

 

 

Rock On

After reading numerous positive reviews about the movie, naturally my expections were quite high. But I was disappointed. I guess the movie has got more hype than what it actually deserved. The story is that of four friends who form a band called ‘Magik’. Arjun Rampal and Farhan Akhtar are in lead roles. The magik group strives hard to make it big and in the process ego clashes comes up between Arjun Rampal and Farhan Akhtar. The group splits and 4 friends get busy in their own lives. After about 10 years, Farhan’s wife Prachi Desai learns about the band and tries to re unite them. That’s all. I would rate the movie 3 out of 5.

 

 

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

This one is my favourite of the lots. And the best I have watched this year. The debutant Imran Khan and Telugu actress Genelia D’Souza have done excellent job. The movie is that of a group of college friends. Jai (Imran Khan) and Aditi (Genelia) are very close friends, but everyone else expects they are in love. After graduation Aditi’s parents ask Jai to marry her. But both Jai and Adiit get shocked and clarify that they are not in love and are just good friends. Then a new girl enters Jai’s life. Slowly Aditi feels left out. A new guy enters Aditi’s life. Finally both realize that they cant live without each other. The movie also includes Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, Naseeruddin Shah in comic roles. I would rate it 4 on 5.
