Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi - Review - Good

This link may work for few days... enjoy ... first few minutes is not audible, but it is good quality http://movielab.tv/rab-ne-bana-di-jodi,7410.html

First of all, SRK has done a brilliant job as always :) Now my review...

In the era of too many characters and complex plots, this is different; it is focused on only 3 characters = SRK as Mr Suri an old guy, SRK as Raj a young guy and the heroine. The first half builds up the story line - Anushka marries SRK as a formality to keep her father's last wish. SRK is in love with her but she does not love him and the couple has no real relationship. Later Anushka joins a Dance competition and SRK changes his form as a young guy and joins the same competition as her partner. Anushka slowly falls in love with SRK as "Raj".

Aditya Chopra was not able to handle the 2nd half of this movie. He does build up the dilemma about whom should the heroine pick - Raj or Suri?? When and how should Raj reveal to her that he is her husband? Another question, how can this heroine be so dumb to no recognize the similarities of the double role?

The movie is an entertainer (paise vasul) so enjoy the movie and don't think too much :) Watch out for the rich and funny song.. "Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar ke, Phir Milenge, Chalte Chalte"

Tribute to the real heroes of Mumbai

Mumbai has witnessed yet another terror nightmare and 280 innocent victims including 20 brave police and NSG who died to protect life of others. The city and the nation should not let the sacrifices of these brave souls go in vain.

SRK's - Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Trailer

This is most awaited movie of the year...King Khan + Aditya Chopra combination. The expectation is too high and some speculate this will be as good as "dilwale dulhania le jayenge".

Time will tell - I'll keep you folks posted as soon as I learn more on this..

Hindi movie - A Wednesday - an eye opener

My close friend called and asked me to watch this movie saying it was a good one. Thanks to the internet, I was able to watch it and really enjoyed it. It is a story regarding the several bomb blasts that Mumbai has a victim since 1992. Can a common man do something about this? How long should the common man live under fear - one is not sure if he/she will be safe travelling on the local train or the bus?

This movie raises a bigger question - will the real world follow this reel story? Indians have seen too many of these attacks, just yesterday there were 2 more blasts have rocked Delhi. When will these attacks stop?

Do give me your comments.

X Files - I want to beleive - average

This weekend I did also get to watch X-Files the new release (I want to believe). The plot is weak and the actors are getting very old - especially Scully. I loved X-files the TV series and it generally had an alien piece to the puzzle, this movie does not have that surprise element. It does have the usually X-files erie music and some twists and turns but overall not a great movie.

Breach - good movie

I watched Breach on DVD, which iss based on a true story of an FBI agent who sells secrets to Russian agents. Chris Cooper (main actor) and Laura Linney deliver very believable action. Since the storyline is clear from the start there is less drama but there are few scenes where instant reactions are key which are shown pretty well. Worth watching on a weekend night.

Jannat - movie review

This is a good movie and the bettings and money is very real; this does happen and millions of dollars were traded during the past world cup.

The story line is the key for the movie, simple and real. It is always good to see a little guy from Dharavi slums suddenly becoming powerful and rich, as if he has won a lottery.

Direction was generally good for the first half; 2nd half was not carefully planned. Emraan is very natural, Miss India Sonal looks good, but acting was poor and there was no real screen chemistry with Emraan. The Indian police inspector (could not get his name) was promising and I hope gets better roles.

Pritam's music is good, with 2 songs standing out from the rest - title and Zara Sa.
