3 Idiots! 3 cheers!

what about 3 idiots then? It had hype, but didn't affect me, was pretty apprehensive since i had read the book, seen a play. but then dragged along with not much expectation. what i get? kick ass mainstream cinema. Its everything indian and contemporary.
comparisons with the book? the book is indeed the inspiration and the characters are straight from the book, but post interval it is entirely a different road. the storyline is a mix mash of both the book and hirani.everyone's talking about aamir khan, and he deserves every word, in spite of his age he fits the role of the student to a tee. kareena, essays well, does leave behind an impression. a little long as the songs were totally unnecessary

a laugh riot, totally filmy, sweet and sour(has an equal mix of sense and filmy stuff)
a good way to end the year.

go watch the mainstream movie of the year.



other watchable movies this year:
Timepass : Love aaj kal, Wake up sid
dont miss: Kaminey

DEV D

Dev D!
keeps you glued. trance like experience.
the performances were mediocre.
the darker side of life is potrayed with panache and attitude,
its a whole new world out there.
devdas of the modern world.
becomes inevident but bollywood indeed steals or gets inspired from hollywood.
the later half of the movie reminds you of the jodie foster- de niro part in Taxi driver.
the location and many of the scenes makes you nostalgic of Taxi driver.
Similarly the last scene of Luck by chance reminds you of the movie Closer.
otherwise a bold effort from the director.

the offbeaten path of bollywood. follow it, you wouldnt regret it.

LUCK BY CHANCE

yet another watchable movie!
yes, luck by chance is more than that. the performances are the mainstay while you start
talking about it, the movie belongs to every one of them. full justice done.
the story is nothing unusual, but it weaves itself very well for the very plausible climax.
suprising that inspite of so many characters in the movie and so little playing time,
the characters are very convincing in their roles and you feel like you know each one of them.

cinematography and music is top notch. quite a lot of one liners to keep you hooked.

a beautiful piece of work from the hindi film industry(as dimple would like it to be called)

neat,light and clean!dont miss!
