Movies
एक और बड़ी लंबी जुदाई blogging से. Wow !!! It really works :) Its really nice to see that hindi text there just as you type in the phonetic equivalent in English. Hectic life, but got some time to watch some nice movies. So thought of penning down some of my reviews about these movies.

This is one of the best movies I have watched in recent times. Its a very slow movie, but you dont get bored with it. Its like reading a book which takes you into its grip and you keep turning the pages in anticipation of the way its gonna end. अयेशा has certainly given a very good performance in this movie. The story itself is so simple and good and since she is the central character in the movie, I guess thats the reason she has got so much attention. But, yeah, she has lived upto the expectations of this role.
The movie backdrop and the setting is so good, there are so many interlinked stories or rather aspects to the characters. It makes them look so much more real, when compared to other movies when the characters have only one dimension in life and nothing else. The movie talks about what "friendship" is. How you can fall in love with your friend, and that "love" doesnt always have to end up into a relationship. Its the bonding that matters. The movie also talks about how widows are "made to behave" without even a single person giving a damn to what she feels in her heart. On the other hand, it also shows why the lady accepts this discrimination, only to be enlightened at the end to break all the shackles and lead her own life. The reasoning and the changes that come into her life are quiet convincing. The more central theme of the movie though is "capital punishment". The movie makes its point clear at the end that, its not always an eye for an eye that everybody wants. The lady who was hell bent upon punishing the culprit of her husband's death, realises that by not signing the forgivance letter, she would be implicitly committing the same crime that caused her husband's death and in turn making another woman go through the same torture that she has been through. The last scene of the movie is very फिल्मी ॥ पर इतना चलता है :p
Red Eye
Another gripping kidnap drama. Only that this time, the kidnapper is sitting write next to you in the flight and you cant run away from him !!! Its only between you and the kidnapper and nobody else has a clue that you are actually kidnapped. You are held hostage and cannot get any help from all the other passengers in the flight. Its a very unique idea and keeps you on the edge of the seat throughout. Except that the motive for the kidnap is very dull and it doesnt sound convincing at all. But, its a good one time watchable movie.
The flight of phoenix
Another plane crash movie, just that its in the middle of the desert caught in a sand storm !!! A strange calculation is done by the pilot and they come to the conclusion that if they all walk [ they are about 12 of them ], the water in their reserves would finish off in a couple of days. But, if they wait there hoping that someone would find them, then the reserves could last for 30 days !!!. There is a aeroplane design engineer among the people stranded and he convinces them that he can rebuild the damaged plane. But, it would be a single propeller plane and they will have to join the wings and reuse the undamaged tail. At the end of the hard work of making the plane, they come to the harsh realisation that the plane can hold only the pilot and no passengers. They all get angry on the design engineer but they cant do anything to him, since he the only hope they have. Finally, they all tie ropes to the wings, and hang on to it while the plane named "Phoenix" takes flight.
हमको दीवाना कर गए
One lazy weekend afternoon after lunch at home and nothing else to watch on TV. Thats how i ended up watching this movie. Its a खीचिदी of all the hindi movies that have been made till date. Not a single penny of innovation. Girl is engaged, boy meets her before wedding, they fall in love, but dont tell eachother. Just before wedding, guy meets the girl again [ oh yeah, this time they meet by co-incidence !! duh .. ] and this time the guy runs away with the girl. The settings, the locales and the fashion show in this movie were only selling points. Katrina has a brilliant taste for dresses that look good on her :D
50 first dates
I had watched this movie long time back and happened to watch it again this time around. Adam Sandler has done a wonderful job in this beautiful movie. The girl with whom he falls in love, has a memory problem. She can remember things only for 24 hours. When she wakes up in the morning she cant remember anything that happened the previous days. So, every day, her brother and dad, keep her drawing canvas clean, and give her the same newspaper to read. She wakes up, reads the newspaper, draws the same things everyday on her canvas and visits the restaurant. Its in this restaurant that Sandler meets her, and each day, he starts from the beginning trying to win her heart. All this carries on for 50 days. Each day morning he meets her in the restaurant, spends a lovely time with her the whole day, and even proposes her a few days in the evening, but the next day morning, he has to start all over again !!! That guy really has a lot of patience and personifies perseverance. A good watchable movie.
