Due to my vacation in India, I was cut out from my blogging world as there was so much else to do. None the less I am back now and am summing up 3 movies which stood out for me on this trip.
3 Idiots
So much has been said about this movie already and saying anything more would be like a late govt. tube light like reaction. Needless to say, I loved the movie and thought that it was one of the best movies made in Indian cinema.
The other day I read a blog entry from IBN's Sagarika Ghose where she rubbished the movie as she thought it encouraged teenagers to dump studying, commit suicide and accept the mantra that "the education system sucks". After reading the entire post I thought Sagarika either did not understand the movie at all or she is just putting up a different opinion than the others to come into the limelight. I guess she was successful in some respect as her blog post got a whopping 326 responses, a career best for her.
As far as I am concerned, I loved the movie from the opening cliched scene to the last suspense revealer scene. I thought Raju was outstanding as a story teller and probably this is one of the finest movies adapted from a book. Aamir, Sharman and Madhavan were great as usual but the one actor who stood out for me in the movie was Boman Irani. He was outstanding.
As for the music, I guess Aal izz well is the new jargon of the Indian public. We will have to wait till Raju comes up with something new in his next movie for All izz well to be replaced from Indian lips.
Pyaar Impossible
I had lowered my expectations for this movie even below the bench just because the film was starring Uday Chopra. Later when I came to know he had even penned the movie I lowered them even more. Some might even think why I saw it. But now I am glad that I did. The movie surprised me in a good way. It was not as bad as I had thought it would be. There was a feel of honesty being exuberated from the movie. All in all a feel good kinda movie.
Uday was surprisingly good, both as an actor and as a writer. Priyanka was the perfect Alisha Merchant the casting crew could have ever found. Jugal Hansraj did another decent job of directing a film after Roadside Romeo.
Definitely worth watching once, if not on the big screen then surely on DVD.
Quick Gun Murrugan
Finally I got a chance to see this flick and boy oh boy was I not disappointed. This movie is sarcasm personified. Its a laughathon in every respect. The best comic scenes are generated when the characters appear to be serious. I found everything from chitragupt being named as C. Gupta to cowboys actually fighting to save cows damn funny.
The entire cast rocked it. Especially the guy playing 'Rice Plate Reddy' was awesome.
A must watch for people who adore PJ's and sarcastic comedy. Highly recommended.
