Top 5 – Movies of the Month

by

I love watching movies, its one of my favorite pastimes and I love talking about movies. I try my level best to write reviews in my blog about the movies I have watched; But off late I hv been getting a bit lazy and not getting around to talking about movies I loved. So as an alternative at the start of every month I will post about five movies i watched in the previous month :)

These movies listed below did not necessarily release anytime recently(or in this month), I happened to watch them during the last calender month and wanted to share my thoughts about them. These movies are not necessarily the best of the movies I watched but rather movies that I admired in one way or another.

Kites – Movie Review

[rating: 3.5]

An action filled romantic thriller starring the brilliant Hrithik Roshan and the sizzling Bárbara Mori was always expected to send the hype racing. The Chemistry between the two actors was talked about in international circles but fell flat for the Bollywood crowd. So what was it that generated so much mixed reviews for this ‘crossover’ movie?

Kites is a perfect example of a crossover movie. Everything about the movie was designed to merge cultures, the lead actors were from India and Mexico, the languages used in the movie was Hindi, English and Spanish… The music had a distinct international touch, hell even the lyrics of the songs were written in Hindi, English and Spanish! But what made this movie a truly crossover film is the writing, as an avid follower of Hollywood and Bollywood cultures, Kites hit me as the almost perfect child of the two. You have the thrill, action and pace of western cinema and you also have the emotional touch, romance and ideology that rule Indian cinema.

Badmaash Company – Movie review

[rating: 2]

The attraction of movies with smart cons is two fold, one the charisma of the con men(and women) and the other the brilliance of the con itself. Sadly Badmaash Company shows only a spark of the attraction and then falls flat.

The trailer of the movie promised a smart movie involving beautiful people who wear disguises to outsmart others and then go about their evenings blowing away their winnings in fancy casinos… In the movie we realize thats only half quarter a part of the story. The audience is then inflicted with cons involving defective pairs of shoes and gloves! Just as we sit and wait for that smart con, we are greeted with a spectacular bank loan con…

No Return Ticket…

by

When i watched Forrest Gump for the first time, I was clearly amazed by the movie. There were so many inspirational parts in the movie that it became in many ways an important part of my life. One of the sequences in the movie had Forrest a young confused man take to running non stop across the continent of North America. In the movie the run is shown under the light of a search for spirituality & answers.

Ever since i watched Forrest Gump I have always wondered on the rewards of simply running away into the distance. I always looked at it and was amazed at this man’s ability to run into the wilderness without thinking twice about what the next turn had in store.
