Movie Reviews
4 Hindi movies that I loved watching and if you
have the time, do watch.
(Not in order of preference)
1. Mission Majnu – A spy story based on real life
events but not a James Bond movie. Sidharth Malhotra nails it as the undercover
RAW agent posing as a Pakistani tailor who rises above his guilt and secures
love for his country and his family. Ashwath Bhatt, playing President Zia was
brilliant. Quite a pacy thriller.
Dhak Dhak – Loved the concept of a road trip
with four women for varied ages. So you can identify with which ever age group
you are in. With four characters we get four touching stories and the beauty of
Ladakh.
Three of Us- What do you do when you have
Shefali Shah and Jaideep Ahlawat sharing screen space? I was hypnotised and the
seemingly slow pace of the story glued me to the screen. I felt cheated when
the story ends. I wish we had more such stories of the soul.
Sajini Shinde ka Viral Video – Sajini Shinde,
the protagonist, played by Radhika Madan is a brilliant teacher, has a strict
father, is tormented by a video, and has nowhere to seek refuge. The cake is, of
course, given to Nimrat Kaur for assaying the inscrutable police officer
investigating the case of the disappearing teacher. But Bhagyashree was the
surprise element. After Maine Pyar Kiya, this is her second movie I am seeing
and yes, she has grown!!
Movie Review (Hindi)
Jaane Jaan is a thriller-cum-unrequited love story shot in
Kurseong and Darjeeling. I say the names because the dark atmosphere in the film is brought on by the mist in the mountains.
The delightful part of the movie
are the actors – Vijay Verma, Jaideep Ahlawat and Kareena Kapoor. Their
chemistry works magic. It is lovely to see Kareena without make-up (to hide
lines) and holding her own along with the two talented men.
I have loved Sujoy Ghosh’s earlier movie, Kahaani. This one is from the
same genre, only a little confusing at times with the storyline going back and forth in
time.
This is indeed a good time for the audience to be able to see movies
revolving around fine actors and based on a riveting plots.
