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***)

Is Ra-One the Number 1?

This is the most expensive sci-fi movie in the Indian film Industry till date, but would it be equalli heavy in the content?
From a technical point of view I believe this movies is a major milestone in Bollywood regarding the Sci-fi special effects and animation; But the movie lacks the solid base of story line, acting and screenpaly.
Subbu ( Sharukh Khan) works in a company which makes simulated video games and somehow ( How? well you need to see the movie to understand the concept) one of his negative creations comes to life!!

This is where the whole twist is ....I cannot go any further but Yes, as Ra-One is a pun on the Hindu Mythological demon - 'Ravaan'. Similarly, this movie has a character which fights 'Ra-one'and his name is 'G-One' a pun intended for 'Jeevan' meaning Life...
The movie does have its own Sci-fi effects and would appeal to the kids...sometime I felt watching modern Shaktiman! (The old serial in Doordarshan). The songs are good and specially the song 'Chamak Challo' sung by Akon is very catchy.
I would not commet on the acting, because this movie script doesnot require one...well the screen play and storyline could have been more interesting, none the less a good try...and I am sure Kids would enjoy it....

My Rating:**&1/2
