Luck by Chance (2009)

Image
I have become a big fan of Farhan Akthar for his versatility he handles.Acting,Direction,Singing,TV host and he is recently rated as the sexiest man in India by Femina.Zoya Akthar is next to arrive from Javed Akthar family as director writer of the movie Luck by chance.Luck by chance stands for its name and it tells the emotional story of Bollywood from a insider view which is Zoya herself. Vikram Jaisingh and Sona both want to make it big in Bollywood struggle to meet directors and producers for their first break.Vikram gets his first break in a Big banner of Romi Rolly ( Rishi Kapoor) productions to play the lead role which was dropped by Sarfan Khan ( Hrithik Roshan ) .Sona struggles and finds herself in B Grade movies and serials .Vikram becomes a overnight stars and avoids Sona because of his new found love with Isha Sharwani the star kid of Dimple Kabadia . Movie speaks in a nonchalant way to portray the emotions of strugglers in a big bad world of Bollywood.Relations are thrown ...

Kadhal Na Summa Illai (2009)

Image
Kadhal na Summa Illai is promoted in a big manner by Raj TV ,since its their first venture in to movie distribution.Kadhal Na summa illai is a remake of the telugu movie Gamyam which was a sensational hit a year ago. It’s a search of a lover boy to reach his lady love who had split with him due to difference of ambitions and life style.Abiram(Sarvanand) who is a millionaire who lives his life careless and partying,while Janaki(Kamalinee mukerjee) is a doctor who wants to serve the society.Both fell in love but had to split their relations.When he realizes about her ambition he goes in search of her where he meets Vetti Velu ( Ravi Krishna ) a petty thief who joins Abiram to assist in his search. Movie speaks about the realization of a man’s mind in the pursuit of his love and the reality of the world.But some how the characters whose performance makes it so melodramatic in this movie.Movie can not be graded a worst but I felt the character of Ravi Krishna did the damage for the movie.W...

Slumdog Millionaire

Image
Slumdog millionaire comes to India when it’s nominated for 10 Oscars and winning 4 Golden globe. Movie which the whole nation is speaking about I would say. Anywhere in my office if there is a discussion it’s about Slumdog Millionaire. Probably I was one of the very few persons who saw the movie very late. Because I was very serious that I need to watch it in theatre. As all my friends watched it in Pirated DVDs. Slumdog Millionaire is a British film directed by Danny Boyle and written by Simon Beaufoy It is based on the Boeke Prize winning novel Q and A by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup Jamal (Dev Patel) a small time tea server in a call center is in the verge of winning 2 crores in the reality show who wants to be a millionaire. The answers for the questions are some thing which he had faced in his life for twenty years. As he rightly points out one need not be a genius to win millions in the reality show. Jamal and his brother Salim (Madhur Mittal) are brought up in slums ...

Villu (2009)

Image
I was impressed by the trailer of Villu even I don’t count so much on Vijay movies as he never wants his roles to test him.This trailer was stylish so I expected I could have a good time atleast.With Prabu Deva and Vijay ,I was not expecting a hi fi movie but a movie which could stop the bad run Vijay had through ATM and Kuruvi.Villu is a ordinary movie which is shown as so called stylish and ripped off from Hindi Movie Soldier . Pugal a hitman is the arrow of Cop Manoj K Jayan who wants to clean off the internation gangsters Rakka,JD and Devaraj .Janavi daughter of international gangster JD falls for Pugal and she takes him to meet her Dad in Munich.Things becomes thick in action for Pugal where he takes revenge for a emotional flash back he has in his heart. Villu is a the story of the bygone era which is told in flashy Suits and Glasses .Movie looks as a simple show off at many angles and many shots. Vijay’s entry looks like a comedy where he is being compared with M.G.R and the ...

Padikkathavan (2009)

Image
I was expecting this Director Suraj Movie very much as his previous ventures were impressive as a fast paced movie and had some good comedy track.Even Dhanush gave three impressive movies last year so I was totally expecting this movie.But Padikkathavan is a B Grade Movie in all aspects which fails miserably with some very slim chance and scope in all departments. Dhanush as Radhakrishnan who is a unemployed ,Uneducated guy and who is being targeted by his Dad Prathappothan for his irresponsible attitude and careless behaviour.He falls in love with Gayathri ( Tamanna ) who is daughter of Simmareddy ( Suman ),A Don in Andhrapradesh .His rivalry Don Sayaji Sinde wants to take revenge for Suman murdering Sayaji ’s Son. Suman cleans up the rival gang and comes to know about his daughter’s love affair which he eventually accepts.A new mess pops up from Tirunelveli for Dhanush which he has to clean up to marry Tamanna . I don’t know nothing was impressive in the movie and I w...

Australia (2008)

Image
To be very frank I was expecting the history of Australia in this movie.But I was in for a movie which was not a war movie,no completely romantic,no western,no emotional but a pieces of all crafted and detailed in a clear manner. .I had some feel of watching the movie “out of Africa” for no reason.I couldn’t get correctly why I correlated this movie may be because of the costumes and the faraway downs house which was looking very similar. Coming from England Sarah Ashley ( Nicole Kidman)reaches Australia who is assisted by Drover(Hugh Jackman) who manages the cattle in Australia .Sarah hears the death of her husband in his Property Farmland Downs.Sarah finds the things which are going in her husband’s property with the loss reported income and she fires manager Fletcher who is incidentally to be the cause for all the mess . Sarah seizes control of the land, much to the dismay of King Carney (Bryan Brown), a rival cattle baron with eyes on purchasing Faraway Downs.She gets close with a ...
