4 movies and My country....

Bhaag Milka Bhaag,Lunch Box, Chennai Express, Satyagraha
Each of the above movies represents an unique expression of an individual to fight against the odds and look for that one moment of  glory, truth & love.
These 4 movies do reflect the mood of our society in its present form.
Today someone amongst us is trying to bring about a change in our country by changing the way we think and elect a leader.
On other hand there is this hunger of a sportsman to go on and on without any rest, to open the shop even during heavy rains, give their kids the best at the cost of their sacrfice, to drive that rickshaw even when it's killing hot or to start a venture which catches the eye of the whole world.
Then there are people amongst us who will run against all odds to bring glory for our society even when others have written them off. Lastly, there are people who still believe that hope for love never dies and will celebrate every small occassion to keep that flame of hope and love alive.

Now coming back to the movies (because this is afterall a review blog!); I will try to review all of them in just one sentence - reason being by now you might have watched all the movies....but in case you haven't then this crisp review might give you a reason to watch ( or avoid).

• Bhaag Milkha Bhaag: An amazing biography presented in an amazing way. Acting was best in class and so was the music. A must watch for the young generation to keep them inspired and aspired! (4****)
• Lunch Box: A very delicate movie, which touches the human emotion of yearning for love and warmth...Irfan is again superb.(3.5***)
• Chennai Express: A colourful movie, made to make you light and smaile....could have been made better.(2.5**)
• SatyaGraha: Another typical Prakash Jha - Ajaya Devgan combo...but what was new here was Amitabh Bachchan...amazing story  whic revolves around teh struggle that my country is going through and the fight that we are in....yes, knowingly or unknowingly it's our fight. (3.5***)

No one is above the law....Encouraging!

Hello everyone, It has been a long time since I posted any review ...well I am back with a movie - "No one killed Jessica" . It is an inspiring and encouraging tale of how justice was done to the aam aadmi.

The script was strong, and off-course stories like these have had been a common happening in an around India because of its corrupt bureaucratic and judicial systems. The story has been told through the narration of Meera (Rani Mukherjee), who is a reporter with NDTV and has strong character and presence in the movie. It starts with the scene set in Kargil where the nation is fighting a war with the infiltrators from our neighboring country and it flows seamlessly to celebrity party set up in New Delhi where an innocent a girl - jessica Lall, is fatally shot just because she did not budge in to the demand of an extra glass of drink, from the kin of a influential politician. The story that follows is an ordeal of two ladies Sabrina and Meera.

Sabrina Lall (Vidya Balan) is the younger sister of Jessica who fights relentlessly for 7 long years jut to be denied justice. Then comes the second part where Meera takes in the case and shows how media can and could be powerful enough to change the face of this corrupt judiciary, law enforcement and bureaucratic system.

Both Vidya balan and Rani Mukherjee have shown strong screen presence. I must agree Vidya is turning out to be a actor with strong sense of script and the role. Direction has been good through out except that Meera's character could have been done with less 'F$#k You' and 'WTF' words. Music did not impress much, but scripts like these can do with out songs.

All in all a good package.....worth 3 start
