Raavan – As I See It

“Ten heads. Ten minds. A hundred voices. One man.”

Dear Mani Ratnam, but where is THE MAN? If I can be ruthless in criticizing, I would prefer to say “the hero wasn’t man  enough.” (In the Hindi version…)

Abhishek irritates. As Raavan.

I grew up listening to Amma reading out stories from epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata. I would choose Raavan over Rama any time, for I believe he is a man who followed his heart. A man of madness and devotion. After all, that is what a real man should be, NO? :)

Karthik Calling Karthik - As I See It

I brought this movie at Planet M without much expectations, because of it's ill-fate at the box office. And it got added to the list of movies which were not fared well at box office but surprised me. Full paisa vasool.

Wake Up Sid - As I See It

It is a clean cute movie with lots of laughter, fun, Love and a little bit thinking. In a line, story of a nonsense guy becoming serious and winner in life. But there is more to it...

Rithu - As I See It

ഞാന്‍ കണ്ട ഋതു

ഈ കൊച്ചു സിനിമ എനിക്ക് ഒത്തിരി ഇഷ്ടമായി. ഒപ്പം ശ്യാമപ്രസാദ് എന്ന സംവിധായകന്‍ കാണിച്ച ധൈര്യവും - ഇങ്ങിനെ ഒരു സിനിമ പുതിയ അഭിനേതാക്കളെ വച്ച് എടുക്കാന്‍.

ഒരു പരിധി വരെ ഇന്നിന്റെ ഒരു നേര്‍ കാഴ്ച ആയിരുന്നു പടം. ഇന്നത്തെ യുവാക്കളുടെ ചിന്ത അതിനെ ശരിക്കും മനസ്സിലാക്കാനാവാത്ത സമൂഹവും അച്ഛനമ്മമാരും.

UP - As I See It

Get this first - DO NOT call it a cartoon. This is an animation. The story can be better told by computer generated sequences and so it is told that way. Because of the graphical content we never called Avatar or Matrix a cartoon. Give this genre the respect it deserve and call it an animation and not cartoon. Thank You...

Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya - As I See It

I liked the movie, right from the title - Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaayaa... Will you come down ( for me ) from the sky... Wow... Do I need to tell more what the movie is about...

Yes, the movie is about Love. Romantic - the way Love always is... Silly, straight, complete, pure, crazy, with only one mantra in the mind - Love... The way it begins, it grows and all show the stupidly beautiful Love... And made me completely drowned in the movie...

Love Aaj Kal – As I See It

“Es film ki ek nayi angle hai!” (= This movie has got a new or rather different angle!)

The incurable-dreamer-of-love in me enjoyed the movie, despite the criticism that preceded it. I’m not here to debate on what is Indian and what is Western when it comes to attitudes or lifestyle. I also have no intentions whatsoever to preach what morality or infidelity is. Instead, I attempt to ponder on why we are what we are portrayed as, in this movie!

3 Idiots - As I See It

It's been a while this movie was released and we watched it. It was not in my movies-to-watch-at-theater list. Not because I was prejudice that it will not be worth, but because I know that it was a movie I will watch over again, so I wanted to get it on DVD, which will be good for repeated watch. When everyone of my friends has watched it and were happy with it, every newspaper and website giving it 5 star ratings, it was tough to resist the temptation. Even after my sister called me to say how much she enjoyed it ( it was the first Hindi movie she ever watched at theater ) I hold on. I was in the queue to buy ticket for Ishqiya when my Jeeju called me to say that he and my sister is going to watch it for the second time. Enough ! I bought the overpriced 3 Idiots ticket instead of Ishqiya. And no regrets about it....
