36 China Town

I have made a habit of writing movie reviews :)

36 China town, another abbas-mustan moive. something that i will never miss. They are very good in given bollywood some of the best thirllers. This movie has one of my favorite actress ishaa kopikar but alas she gets killed in the very starting :( This is a detective story played by akshay khanna who tires to investigate who killed isha. my other favorite Tanu also makes a guest appearence for one song... All the songs are clubbed together in the starting of the movie which makes it quite boring, but once the story gets going its quite ok. the directors have tried to inculde some comedy in this movie somethin which i didnt like. i dont think trillers and comedy go together. The background music is ok. The biggest drawback in this movie is that the story goes on in the expected lines. you can actually predict whats gonna happen next. I would say this is a good timepass movie. :)

Fanaa

Sorry folks for not writing a blog for a long time...
I am back with another movie review for fanaaa

Aamir khan together with kajol make a wonderful couple on-screen. Both are good in playing their characters in the movie. The first half of the movie is just like any other romantic movie, but some of the shayaris is worth listening. Towards the second half the director has thought of adding some story into the movie and its a total disater... Even some of the TV serials have a better storyline than this movie. The movie just goes on as expected but way too slow. Its still amases me how I managed to watch the entire movie. The biggest letdown in this flim is its music. My advise is not to watch this...

Rang de Basanti

After a long time i found an interesting movie in indian cinema. This movie was shot with a difference. we have seen a lot of cinemas on the same topic bhagat singh and how great he was but none of them captured the feelings of bhagat singh like the way this movie does. None of previous moive tries to describe why he took such a decision and what made him do that. Rang de Basanti does this by relating it to the present day situation.

This movie is made from the heart and that is evident while watchin the it. The movie has the mix of both the modern day masala together with a message, the combination very rarely found in the same movie.

The movie starts with british director who wants to make a movie on bhagat singh. As the story goes on the actors acting in the flim land up in a situation which is very much similar to what bhagat singh faced. The similarities in these two situations are highlighted which is the best element of the movie.

Some would say the ending does not suit it properly, but i would say that this is the the best ending this movie could have. This is exactly what is happening in present day situation. Relating this to Bhagat singh, this is exactly what had happened to him.

One major element in the movie is its music. The background score is very good. Also the timing of each song is fantastic. My favorite song is "rang de basanti". In other movies of bhagat singh we have heard many versions of that song. This one is the modern version and it lives upto its reputation.
