An apology to Quentin

Dear Quentin,

I apologise. I am sorry that i brought a stupid thought in my mind. And i lived with that thought for almost 2 years now. That I thought the "inspired" Kaante is a better entertainer than the original Reservoir Dogs, makes me want to kick my self now. Why did I thought of such a stupid thing. What the hell i was thinking?

One excuse i can give is the dvd which i got 2 yrs back of Reservoir Dogs was not a good print. The dialogues were not at all clear. Now how can you watch a Quentin movie without understanding the dialogues. That is an absolute crime. And i am guilty of that. My new thought is that the "great" movie Kaante from the "genius copycat" Sanjay Gupta is not even a 1% of your absolute beauty Reservoir Dogs. Holy Christ!!!! What a movie. I just dont have enough words to describe how amazing the movie was. Ohh the Dialogues. The F Word coming in every line more than once. The cast. You can't get better. All are brilliant in their respective characters but the ones stood out for me were Michael Madsen(Mr. Blond), Harvey Keitel(Mr. White) and Steve Buscemi(Mr. Pink). Sanjay Dutt is no where, i guarren-damn-tee you no where near Michael. Shit the guy is good. And Cool. Wow!!! I wont compare Amitji with Harvey but both were a treat to watch in their roles. And dude Mahesh, sorry to say but your antics does not come any closer to the Great Buscemi.

Ahh and the music. The 70s music. Quentin's movies always has a score which you will remember even after the movie is over. The songs playing in back while the movie is going on. Cant describe how great they felt. Just another Wow.

Quentin, again I sincerely apologise for my grave mistake in considering the inspired Sanjay Gupta better than you. I hope you will forgive me some day.

Yours sincerely
A Fan

WOW. What a movie!!! Some movies leave such an impression on you long after you are done watching them. This is definitely one of them. One of those movies where you will feel angry for what you are seeing in the movie and then suddenly realize that these things are happening from a long time in our society and still going on. And we can't do much but curse about them.

This movie deals with the story of a widow Kirron Kher, who is absolutely brilliant in this role. The story is set in a village Charkhi in 1979 Pakistan. How she has to deal with her tormented past and repruccusions of her relationship with her 17 year old son, again played brilliantly by Aamir Ali.

Ofcourse the movie is little slow in the begining but once the story starts developing you won't be able to take your eyes of it. This movie does not favour to one nation or any one religion. It tells you what happened in the past and what is happening now. It is beyond a nation or a religion. I would like to claim it as a Story of a Woman fighting with her past ghosts and troubles in present. Also it is One of the Best Political Movies I have seen.

First time director Sabiha Sumar, does such a wonderful job with the movie. All the awards which she has won were truely deserved.

If you like meaningful movies with subtle message, this one is for you.

Chinmay's scale - ****1/2

Gulti Movies - Am Loving It

It Started with Bommarillu, My First Gult(telugu) movie. And I absolutely loved it. After that I have seen as many as 3 more and here is my verdict.



Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana - I know. I know. The name is really difficult to pronounce. You can use the short version Nv Nv. This was recommended by my friend as he knew that I am a fan of Siddharth. Nv Nv has Siddhartha and Trisha in lead. Now for the regular Bollywood lovers this movie will offer nothing New. In brief it is Maine Pyaar Kiya till interval and Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya after that. Funny thing was some of the scenes from both these movies have "Inspired" some of those in it. But well, I am a Siddhartha fan. I enjoyed the movie. Its a feel good time pass movie where you will kill your 3 hrs and feel good after that. Siddhartha is Good. Trisha is Ok(Nowhere near to my fav Genelia). Guy who played Trisha's brother did a good job. Prakash Raj never disappoints me. All in all a decent pop corn movie.




Athadu - My friend claimed this as his All time fav movie. This inspired me to go for Athadu. First things first. Mahesh Babu ROCKS. He is simply awesome. He is one of those guys who makes an average movie very very enjoyable. His style of dialogue delivery is superb. Action fantastic. Looks Amazing. And I am running out of Adjectives here. The story again is not path breaking in originality. I have seen atleast couple of movies with same story line. But still those didnt have Mahesh Babu. He plays an Assassin here, who gets framed for murder of a minister. He has to run and in the process lands up as a guy, who gets killed because of him. Familiar huh. Here Trisha does a better job than Nv Nv. Prakash Raj again is Excellent. Movie is excellent in Technical dept. Cinematography is really good. A perfect time pass movie with 100% Entertainment. Watch it and you will be added in the fan list of Mahesh Babu, the Prince. Did I say he ROCKS!!!




Pokiri - Two reasons to watch this movie. First is Mahesh Babu and second, this was the biggest hit of 2006 in Telugu movies. It is already remade in Tamil with Vijay in the lead and it was a hit. Its being remade now in Hindi with Salman in lead which I feel is a terrible casting mistake. Salman cannot do what is required in the movie. Perfect casting would have been Abhishek. Again nothing special about the story. But I just cant get enough of Mahesh Babu. This guy is Stylish. Leading lady Ileana is decent. Trust me when I say that after watching this one, you will become a bigger fan of Mahesh Babu. Guarren-Damn-Teed.

Ok, Am writing after some time huh. Let's start with RGV ki Aag. I dont have much to say but just this. STAY AWAY. It will be counted as one of the crappiest movies of all time. Didn't expect this from RGV. A Bad Bad movie with bad bad acting and bad bad dialogues. Just go and watch the original classic version. It's much better use of time. I couldn't complete the movie. I didn't have the stamina for it. Even the Great Amitji could not save it as he was given some of the most childish dialogues ever. Hope RGV bounces back with Darling and Sarkar Raj.

Heyy Babyy - This could have been a reallyyy funny movie but the director got little confused whether he wants to make a family movie, a david dhawan movie or something which has adult jokes. The first half was boring and apart from the title song featuring 20 actresses, there is nothing in it. Second half is much better and more entertaining. Again Akshay steals the show. He is the Best in the movie. The surprise for me was Fardeen Khan. I dont rate him as a good actor but he did one decent job here especially playing Parimal Tripathi. Riteish, I felt, was wasted. Vidhya Balan was good. All in all timepass movie.
