Raavan - inspired by the epic - worth a watch

I watched Mani Ratnam's Raavan. The movie has aspects of real Ramayan - Raavan (Abishek), Ram (Vikram), Sita (Aishwarya) and Hanuman (Govinda) and focuses on Sita's apharan (kidnapping). The movie reminded me of Dil Se - minus the Preity Zinta part and is not an entertainer but a serious drama.

It is worth a watch due to strong cast, screen play and direction; but story line is not great and the ending is a big disappointment.

Behne De is best song of the movie...

Wake Up Sid - Iktara song

This is 2009 movie, Wake Up Sid directed by Ayan Mukarjee, winner of debutant Filmfare award. At first I was not interested in seeing another college movie, but this is a good watch. It is handling current youth issues - life after college, parents, friendship, struggle for finding a job, living relationships, love without age being a criteria. Performance from Konkana Sen (page 3 fame) and Ranbir is brilliant, however I did not see any screen chemistry between the two. The movie also gives a glimpse of Mumbai - Worli sea face, bungalows and apartments with the city as a background. As far as audio goes, it is OK with "Iktara" being the highlight. I like the start of this song with good lyrics and deep voice of Kavita Seth which fetched her a Filmfare.

Kites movie trailer

FilmKraft (Rakesh Roshan) next K movie is Kites, staring son Hrithik and Mexican television star Barbara Mori. Movie seems to have all the elements for a blockbuster - romance, action and comedy. It is planned to release May 14th and is relatively short - 120 min. An international version will also be launched which will be only 90 min.

Hum Tum Mile Song - Adam Samni

From the movie Shakti, Adam Samni song - deep voice and good tune - enjoy

Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year - Worth a watch

This movie is now in Netflix. I liked the movie - simple, no songs, just a message in a world full of corruption - that being honest and doing things right (without bribes) can lead to success. Ranbir Kapoor is the main star and has done a great job.

The movie is about a college graduate that starts a new job as a salesman in Mumbai. He just does not fit with the normal sales life and is soon pronounced a failure. With little help he starts his own company on the principles of honesty and customer service and wins trust of several new clients.

It is worth a watch.

Tum Mile song

Movie has some good moments but very poor story line. Emraan and Soha are great and the romance on screen does look like a fairy tale, however the story flow is really bad and the use of Mumbai floods is a big waste. I do like this song - enjoy.
