Movie Marathon July & August 2011

Ever since I have been done with my masters degree, I have had some good quality time on hand to do other things.  I have been able to hang out and get-together with family and friends more and I have been able to watch back-to-back new bollywood movies as they come out in theaters!!  That's been a lot of fun.  In less than a month, I have watched about 5 new movies - Zindagi na milegi dobara, Buddha hoga tera baap, Singham, Chillar party, and latest watched Aarakshan.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara: It stars Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif, and Kalki Kochin.  One word for this movie, Refreshing!  It was such a fun-loving movie where all the actors performed really well.  For me, Farhan Akhtar steals the show where he was really funny in the movie and you get to see a comic side of him which is different from his other roles like in Rock On, Karthik calling karthik, etc.  I simply loved him.  He was brilliant.  Other than that, all the actors look fab with their toned body and killer looks.  Ik Junoon and Senorita are two of my favorite tracks and I assure you that you won't get tired of these 2 tracks if you listen to them over and over and over again :).  And to top it off, you have beautiful Spain in the backdrop where you get the taste of its culture, places, and people!  Don't miss this movie!

Buddha....hoga tera baap: This is a complete Amitabh Bacchan movie!  As a whole this movie is ok, but it's entertaining because of Mr. Bacchan.  He does comedy, action, drama, and even dances to his own tunes from the past which makes this movie a complete entertainer.  It could be a timepass movie, but it'll pass your time with entertainment ...not with boredom or stupidity :p.

Singham: It stars Ajay Devgan and Prakash Raj and those are the only two actors you need to know about.  This movie offers action, action, and more action!  Ajay devgan owns this movie, but it's not complete without Prakash Raj's gundagiri...hehe.  Ajay looks fit and hit for the role he has been given and performs superbly well.  Saathiya and Singham are two of my favorite tracks, one is soft and other is foot-tapping.  Definitely watch this one!

Chillar Party:  This movie casts the brilliant young kids which makes it totally adorable and cute to watch.  Don't underestimate these kids...they will make you cry but will make you laugh twice hard.  I think this movie works with kids well, but it's something that even adults will enjoy watching.  It was a complete joy to see these kids perform brilliantly.  Can you imagine a kid saying this dialogue: "Bole to bapu india ka woh bhai tha jisne angrezo ki vaat laga dali aur india se tadipar kardiya, samjhi kya?".....haha.  It was hillarious.

Aarakhsan: Unlike other movies that I listed on the top, this movie is more on serious side focusing on a reality and topic of Reservation system.  It stars Amitabh Bacchan, Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Pratik Babbar.  I thought the movie was good, but I also got confused in some parts where they talk about how the admission seating is assigned based on reservation and not.  I think the movie keeps you glued to your seats until the interval (at least that's what I feel), but then after the interval the topic somewhat becomes on how people play politics to make money.  The focus is still kept on making money out of education system, but still I think the movie looses the focus of its original topic of Aarakshan.  I still enjoyed watching it.  Amitabh Bacchan was good as usual.  Pratik Babbar is someone to look out for.  He acted well in Dhobi ghaat, and performs equally well in this one too.  Saif Ali Khan was good in few parts but I felt he was left out in big chunk of movie.  Deepika is also good....there are not a lot of movies that I feel she performs well in, but with this one she is good and I feel her role is more than of Saif Ali Khan's.  On a whole, it's a good movie.

Well with that, I come to an end to give you my two cents on the movies I have watched so far.  And there are a lot more movies coming up that I am waiting to see.  But that's for later :).  Until then, see ya!
