Satyagraha - A multi-starrer movie with a bad plot

Satyagraha is a Bollywood flick directed by Prakash Jha, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Rao, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai. The movie revolves around two friends – Ajay Devgn and Indraneil Sengupta, who are very different from each other in terms of personalities. Indraneil is like his father who believes in working for the country and bringing in change in the political system of the nation where as Ajay Devgn is business minded and believes in making quick money. Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Indraneil father and is a teacher who is very depressed with the indian political system & wants to do something for everyone in his gaon (village). Amrita Rao is Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter-in-law and Ajay Devgans sister-in-law. Arjun Rampal is just there for appearance, just like Amrita Rao and doesn’t have any major role to play. Kareena is a journalist who falls in love with Ajay Devgn eventually. The funny part is, in between all the hush h...

Dhanush – From Kolaveri Di to Raanjhanaa

Raanjhnaa is a sweet love story between a boy and a girl that begins during their childhood and ends when they are 20-something, with the actor’s death. Both the actors Dhanush and Abhay Deol die in the movie sacrificing their lives for a girl named Zoya- played by Sonam. Dhanush clearly steals the show by his amazing acting skills and simplicity. Dhanush cannot be judged on looks at all. However his expressions and dialogue delivery is too good. His Friend Murari – played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub was given very good dialogues, which he has proved that he was worth delivering. Bindiya – played by Swara Bhaskar is a girl who is as crazily in love with Dhanush as he is with Zoya. Swara Bhaskar has again proved her acting skills in this movie after Tanu Weds Manu. She has chosen strong supporting roles in both the movies and has performed well. Her dialogue delivery is very crisp and clear.  Abhay Deol has a very brief role in the movie which fades away with his death, although he has also acted well.

Besides love story, there is a political twist to the movie that keeps the viewers gripped. Nowhere in the movie did I feel that it was stretched or the link was lost or there was a disconnect. Raanjhanaa kept the viewers curious as to what would happen next. According to me Sonam is a Vamp in the movie and she played that character well. Dhanush without any doubt is a brilliant actor, singer and a dancer too. I loved Dhanush in the movie totally.

My rating for the movie is 8/10

One of the most beautiful movies ever made by anyone – The Bucket List (The Story)

The Bucket List is one of the very few movies that have an actual meaning in it. This movie is about two complete strangers who meet at a hospital. These two people are from two completely different backgrounds. Their names are Edward (Anthony Hopkins) and Ray (Morgan Freeman). Edward is very rich man and owns the hospital in which the two of them meet and Ray is a car mechanic. Both the men suffer from cancer; however Edward doesn’t have a family, who would visit him often. Whereas Ray, had a wife, three children and a grandchild as well. Rays wife Virginia often came to meet Ray and was upset with the news of him suffering from cancer. As the movie continues the duo i.e. Ray & Edward become friends and then very good friends. They prepare a list of things they want to do before they die. And they go ahead and do those things. The list includes 1. Witness the most majestic thing in the world – The Himalayas 2. Help a total stranger for good 3. Kiss the most beautiful girl in...

Fukrey (2013)

I don’t understand why would Farhan Akhtar produce such a movie? I would rate the movie 3/ 10. It made no sense. The movie stars Pulkit Sharma, Manjot Singh, Varun Sharma, Ali Faizal, Richa Chadda, Vishakha Singh and Priya Anand. The movie begins with Pulkit Sharma and Varun Sharma talking some non-sense about college girls and their dream of entering college as they have been failures throughout their lives; right from failing in 1 st Std. Next scene is about Manjot Singh praying and wanting the same thing, entering college just because his so-called girlfriend studies in that college, who apparently is cheating on him. The third guy, Ali Faizal is some wandered who keeps on wandering around the college campus like some nomad. By the way nobody is allowed within the college campus but this guy Ali Faizal is allowed, nobody knows why and how. Then there is Bholi Punjaban, Richa Chadda, who is a an amazingly audacious chiq wanting to kill the world for money. Pulkit is a super s...
