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.

[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?

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.
