Movie Time!!

Its time to blog again and what best topic to blog for a movie buff than movies. I believe movies transport us to another world, a world of pure happiness and bliss. Though I try to watch as many movies as possible, only some movies leave a lasting impression. 
Band Baaja Baarat (Hindi)– Perhaps one of the most beautiful realistic romantic Hindi movie, I have seen after Jab We Met. Watch out for the casual yet witty dialogues and absolutely awesome acting by Anushka and new lad Ranveer as they set out to build their wedding planner business. A must watch for all romantic movie buffs.

Yudham Sei (Tamil) – A very realistically portrayed thriller movie with Cheran in the lead. A little too grouse sometimes, but it captures your attention till the last frame. Definitely a one- time watch movie.

Inception (English) – I had missed this awesome movie in theatres and had an opportunity to watch it recently. A dream inside a dream inside a dream. Totally amazed by the director who could visualize such an awesome idea and portray it so clearly as an awesome thriller movie. A once in a lifetime movie. DON’T MISS IT!!

Social Network (English) A real jakaas movie. Just couldn’t believe that the movie’s story happened in real life also. Gotto listen little hard to capture all the dialogues in the movie. Watch out for the great performance from the lead actor Jesse Eisenberg who plays the role of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerburg. A gud one time watch movie.

True Grit (English) This movie transports us to the world of Wild West of 1850s. The story revolves around a young gritty girl who sets out to avenge the death of her father along with a US marshal. It’s the awesome performance from the lead actress (Hailee Steinfeld) that captures your attention all the way.

Aadukalam (Tamil) The Pollathavan combo of director Vetrimaran and actor Dhanush have struck gold again. Their second attempt to re-create a realistic potboiler has reaped rich dividends. It’s a story of a jobless youth and his passion for cock-fights that drives the story forward, first bringing money and glory and later the realistic sadness. A definite must watch. Also look out for the beautiful heroine Taapsee.

The Other End of the Line (English and Hindi) This movie was suggested by my best friend, Narendra Reddy. It’s a sweet love story based on the telephonic interaction between an Indian BPO employee and an American marketing executive. The film wows you with its sweet twist and turns and with its touch of realistic humor. A definite watch (perhaps with your GF or life partner)!!

There were host of other movies which faltered in story or screenplay and I can count Harry Potter movie in that list also. Thankfully I didn’t happen to watch Tees Maar Khan.

Would be watching critically acclaimed 127 hours this weekend. Do add in your comments on any of the good movies that you might have seen recently.

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
The last movie I saw was the " social network ". I liked Timberlake's part..he was stylish. Inception is one movie I got to watch, your post has made me more curious.

Will look for your reviews on 127 hours. I guess Danny Boyle might get lucky once again at Oscars ( not to mention, Rahman's in the race as well )

The two films I watched recently -

No one killed Jessica is pretty good.. Kinda liked Uthamaputhiram also though I felt second half was a drag.
