I would argue that Priyadarshan has relentlessly brought out and addressed the problem of communication in our society. This problem of mis-communication or a lack of communication happens due to different reasons. In the latest ‘Bhagam Bhag’ the small mis-interpretation of ‘heroin’ for ‘heroine’ (due to a trick of hearing and the incomprehension of a ‘Dehati’ played by Govinda for the word ‘

Lage Raho Munnabhai captures gandhi as a ghost from the past. Both as a part of the plot as well as the larger message that it delivers. Gandhi today, is just a ghost from the past. But attributing the soul of a nation to a single person is utter nonsense. Gandhi himself said: "I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and non-violence are as old as hills."The media needs some masala to latch

Finally, i got to see one of the most hyped of the low budget movies this season. The biggest hype-factor for the movie was Mallika Sherwat in a supposedly deglamourised girl-next-door role.I guess the hypes are not always correct. Mallika Sherawat, as an actress, disappointes yet again.Deglam? I dont think so(for those who flock to watch her movies, dont worry, the lip-locks are here too)

Aaah, the age of sequels continues...But, James Dodson misses what Vidhu Vinod Chopra had used. The sequel has the shadow and the expectation of the first to overcome, therefore it must be better. Much Better.That is not the case with Behind Enemy Lines. The same old story of a mission being called off in the final stages leaving a handful of US defense personnel(U.S. Navy SEALs in this part) in

Wow! Thats how should a movie be made. Munnabhai movie could not have at a more apt time. It is a great attempt to free the society and beureaucracy of its debauchery. Movie potrays social/moral evils prevailing in our society and at the same familarizes the audience with long forgotten principles of Gandhiji. I earnestly hope there would be some change in some people after seeing this movie. I

John Lasseter has once again come up with a stellar performance. For those who don't know, John Lasseter is chief creative officer at Pixar Animation Studios. This time John and his team chose cars as the medium to propagate some lessons of life to the audience.CARS is a movie about a racing car who thinks he is the best and can do everything on his own. In a series of events, he lands up in a

The second high-on-realism movie that i saw was Omkara.Adorned with stellar performances from Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali Khan, this Vishal Bhardwaj's adaptation of Othello is a very good watch. A treat for every movie buff.Very simply put, its pure delight.I had, unfortunately, gone to watch it with the family and the more than necessary usage of expletives made for quite an uncomfortable

This weekend I had a chance to see two 'realist' movies almost back to back. But frankly speaking both left me disappointed.Starting with Corporate. "Madhur Bhandarkar's hard-hitting feature based on the reality of the world of entrepreneurship".Hard hitting? sure!Reality? Wow, "reality" sure is scary!but wait a minute, how would reality be hard-hitting if it wasnt kind of scary? Pointless

Take this,The main protagonist of the movie has a bad reputation and keeps getting sent from one place to another, until he reaches a place where he seems to be "destined" to be.Here he makes a few good friends, finds the heroine and falls head over heels at first sight. The villain is the one going around with the heroine currently and is also kind of a demi-god in some field or has some

Superman returns from a vacation of 5 years to save Metropolis and the world yet again.This movie is sure to entice those, who enjoyed the first three movies of the series but then again expect nothing new from our hero.Yet again, the first scene for "superman" in the movie is to save his lady love Lois from yet another danger. How she managed to survive in this perilious world without her

The second movie that I saw over this weekend was Stay Alive. The imdb rating for this movie is pretty low and ergo i wasnt really expecting much out of it.The plot circles around a group of gamer friends who chance upon an illegal game called "stay alive". Like all gamers they jump upon the chance to play a new game, the twist however is that anyone who dies in the game is subsequently killed in

The second in the Ice Age series, this turns out to be another movie filled with humour. Great(read really funny) dialogues, pretty good story, and great animation.Ice Age 2: The Meltdown has it all!It starts where the the first movie left us, at the Ice Age. Only this time its the end of Ice Age. Its the end of Ice Age and all the animals must reach the end of the valley to a boat which will

This is a deliberate attempt to review and comment on all of the movies that we all watch, will watch in our entire conscious and non-blind lifetime. This blog would include some crazy reviews, some very critical ones as well,comments on these and on the movie(s) on the whole.This, at a later stage, might also become the stage for promoting and propagating movies made group members inside and
