Blood diamond

One of the very good movies that I have watched in recent times. The story is set in sierra leaon. This is a real life story of that country that touches the heart. The movie is very well directed and some excellent performances by the actors.

The country has large deposits of diamond. There exist no proper government control. Most of the parts of the country is controlled by the rebels who smuggle the diamonds to the neighbouring country and make money. These rebels make use of the poor people of the country for mining and are treated in very inhuman conditions. The story is narrated by a english journalist, who wants to expose the state of the country to the western world; a diamond smuggler and a normal civilian of the country, who by luck discovers a big diamond.

This may sound like a normal movie but I particularly like the way its directed which makes you think, are the diamonds really worth buying. Its coz of you so many people die...

There is a mention of India in the movie. They have mentioned India as the place where the smuggled diamonds are polished and mixed with other diamonds. I couldnt understand why India had to be drawn into all this. India is still a good market for diamonds. Maybe its time we stopped buyin diamonds and also all other precious stones...

Dhoom 2

AAAh finally I am watched Dhoom... it took me an entire day to get the tickets of this movie. Right from the morning I was struggling to get the tickets, finally at 7.00 in the evening got the tickets for the second show :D

Dhoom boasts about its star cast as the best in bollywood and its shows. The movie is basically made for Hritik and he performs a wonderful role. Ashwairya and Bipasha are at their best. Abhishek is typically wasted and uday chopra is a joke. The songs which was very good part1 in Dhoom2 you can find only remixes.

The initial part of the movie where hritik jumps onto the train, the sequence is very good even tho I couldnt understand what he was trying to do there ;) the different ways in which he robs was very creative. Right from the start Hritik mania takes over and keeps on the edge of the seat. This was supposed to be a cop-thief story and thats exactly what you get. There are many sequences where you feel that the director has tried to copy some of the hollywood movies like MI2 but at other times its just as funny. The movie has a few good twists and turns which makes you think why the movie doesnt have a proper story. Aishwarya has tried to look very sexy which i dont think suits well to her but the hritik-ash pair looks wonderful. Bipasha is sizzling hot... Overall the movie is very good. Defineatly worth watchin...

lage raho

lage raho munnabhai the sequel of MBBS does better than the first one. Some of the dialogs are worth watching. its a wonderfully crafted movie. normally you never expect the sequel of the movie to do better than the previous one but this one is exceptional. The characters munnabhai n circuit make the perfect combination.

I would say that this is just another movie along the trend set by rang de basanthi. it marked a new era in indian cinema. how you can use the ides of popular historical figures in your everyday life. lage raho did a step better by including comedy along with the theme of the movie.

if you havent seen it yet then go watch it now :D

Rang de basanthi Contd...

going ahead with not just movie reviews but with some comments on the story.

the movie rang de basanti was very good which made many people think but according to me the ending of the movie wasnt right. It fails to capture the ideology of Bhagat singh, what he wanted to put across to his people.

In trying to bring it parallel to the story of bhagat singh all the people are killed in the movie. But this movie doesnt capture the reason why and what he was fighting aganist.

Nothing can be perfect in this world. The british empire was aganist the indians. Bhagat singh was trying to expose this to the entire world. Thats the reason why he put a bomb in the parliment. This wasnt such a serious crime to be given a death sentence. In the court procedings these flaws were clearly exposed.

If the movie has to be completely parallel to his story then the ending should be re-written with a friend of bhagat joining hands the enemy to plan a plot to kill everyone... I intend to write it soon... wait for it... Coming soon... Rang de basanti 2

36 China Town

I have made a habit of writing movie reviews :)

36 China town, another abbas-mustan moive. something that i will never miss. They are very good in given bollywood some of the best thirllers. This movie has one of my favorite actress ishaa kopikar but alas she gets killed in the very starting :( This is a detective story played by akshay khanna who tires to investigate who killed isha. my other favorite Tanu also makes a guest appearence for one song... All the songs are clubbed together in the starting of the movie which makes it quite boring, but once the story gets going its quite ok. the directors have tried to inculde some comedy in this movie somethin which i didnt like. i dont think trillers and comedy go together. The background music is ok. The biggest drawback in this movie is that the story goes on in the expected lines. you can actually predict whats gonna happen next. I would say this is a good timepass movie. :)
