Mithya, Amu, Dil Kabbadi

Guys what a brilliant last couple of weeks watched 3 movies and all 3 were great watch!

Amu (8/10)

I started watching Amu as I couldn't be bothered to select another movie...I saw the name 'Konkana Sen' and thought can't be a bad watch ...can it be?...Never heard of it before...and no idea what it was about...well with my current schedule that does not surprise me. As the story unfolds Konkona Sen who's lived almost all her life in LA comes to India to discover her roots. She was 3 when she was adopted and taken to America...through her journey to find her roots she learns about the 1984 riots, the great human tragedy when 5000 innocent sikhs were killed in just one night and many more to die in the days following it. It's a truly touching movie and you have been warned not to watch it alone at home...

Mithya (8/10)

Had heard about this movie but had no idea again what it was about...well tan tandang its the 3rd variation of DON with Rajiv Shorey as the lead. Brilliantly supported by guess whom...Vinay Pathak who else! also features the lovely Neha Dupia, Naseerudin Shah and other usual suspects. Dont want to reveal the variation otherwise what is the fun. Totally enjoyed this one!

Dil Kabaddi (8/10)

Had heard about this that it is similar to Metro but nobody mentioned it's funny too. Features Irfan Khan, Rahul Bose, Rahul Khanna, Konkona Sen and Soha Ali Khan...pretty impressed by Soha Ali Khan the rest you could expect to deliver any day. It's about the trials and false expectation (well!) of a man's post marriage expectation I guess ...really not sure what to write here...but nevertheless was a fun movie but not for the entire family I guess.

A small round up...

...hardly a round up...but I did manage to see 3 complete movies in the last 6 months, most of them probably released probably last year or so...


A Wednesday (8/10)
What a thriller! almost felt it was over in a ziffy! in the end you do feel well another masala movie but for me was time well spent as long as you feel entertained. I quite like Jimmy Shergill in the angry young man role. A phone call to a local police station about a plan to bomb blast bombay in the next few hours sets the tone of the movie with the first bomb planted right inside the police station...if you haven't yet seen it, I think it's worth a watch.





Aamir (8/10)
This one plays on your mind long after you have finished watching it. I wasn't very impressed by it initially as expectations were too high. It is probably better for me to not reveal anything about this movie except that it's about a young NRI returning home to find that his life is about to change the moment he is to walk outside the airport...nothing about reverse culture shock or anything there is a proper story here!


Khambakt Ishk (1/10)

The 1 is for the Dara Singh's son who made me smile with his Hi-Jack joke...the rest of movie the sooner I forget the better for me...can't believe they even hosted an Oscar and got Rambo to fight a local neighbourhood thug. I think I have had enough of Akshay now.







Mumbai Salsa (4/5)
4/5 because I am currently in the process of watching it and totally enjoying it, I would recommend this anyday! Its about the young generation next ..love and breakups in the fast mumbai metro.
[5 Dec 09] (6/10) Finally managed to finish Mumbai Salsa, the second half didn't live up to its initial promise, so not sure whether to recommend it!




Chandni chowk to china (0/5)....I gave up on this after 3 attempts and I think it was the right decision.
