U Me Aur Hum (2008)
if WELCOME can be a blockbuster then this should be a killer!!
hmmm... what can I say about this...it rocks... a simple well made film...they didn't push the story... filled the holes... sense of depth in very simple dialogs... good acting... i am 102 % sure that this wont be as big hit as welcome n partner are... because its not crap like those movies... has no item songs... has decent subject... so bound to get flopped...because if i am not mistaking people now a days like to watch crap n next to bull shits... so U ME AUR HUM u stand no where at box office... but hey look at the bright side.... there r few handful of sensible people left who like decent well made subject oriented movies (which obviously include me ) ... so i will give u 9/10 for an outstanding emotional touching movie...
Guru (2007)
solid performances and gripping story after long....
Before watching this movie...i simply had a not-so-good opinion about the latest last yr bollywood releases n on top of it viewers weired choices regarding favorite movies...oh come on guys movies like krish..if u remove the latest technology from that movie whats left...( priyanka's OUCH sense of dressing, typical love story with a garnish of an alien ..oh please ??)) agree or not, stories close to real life events always hav an impact on mind...make u feel as if u r part of it while u watch it...n this what makes a movie memorable when u actually flow with it...n GURU was truly that type...it s actually a story of this world...people rising from nothing to everything...n if u hav an understanding life partner then there is no turning back...
wonderful flawless performance by Abhishek n Aish...admit it guys she can act n dance...and two thumbs up for Mani Ratnaam for good direction...Rahmaan Sahib u did it again ... lite classic songs...unique lyrics...add a lot to the movie...
above all its a lovely effort .. a family movie ( yes bolly wood can make family movies....but Mani Ratnaam had to add something to make sure that people watch it so Malika Sherawat was there to make sure of it...an accessory item just like always...i don't know how people digest her presence on the screen) anyway worth watching...i gv it 10/10 for a clear cut close to real life story n award winning performances,direction,music...
Umrao Jaan (2006)
brilliant performance by Aish...a good remake
I happened to watch original Umrao Jann just a few days back by chance and instantly fell for classic movies. As soon as this remake was released i went especially to theater to watch and i didn't regret as it was equally good. Story was not completely a copy of original one ,instead some more good ideas were added. I think it wont be fair to both REKHA and ASH to compare them with each other as both performed equally well and were a perfect choice for the character as it demanded some thing beyond than just the verbal performance. Songs are really touchy esp SALAAM and JIS ZINDAGE NAY AP SE MILWA DIYA HAMAIN. Though the duration of the movie is too long for the typical Indian movie (which is the only not-so-good aspect to some extent) but if considered it was inevitable for such a story. Its not that Abhishak didn't perform well, he did an OK job, its just that he doesn't have the typical NAWAB FEATURES, or may b we are looking forward to his upcoming DHOOM 2 featuring him as the cool cop, so perhaps having that image in mind i just couldn't digest him playing a NAWAB in this movie. Rest the sets were good and the costumes too, though the dialogs if written with more depth would have added more to it. Anyway overall everybody did a good job. And one last thing,even if the movie didn't do well on box office, Ash should get best actress award this year. What do u say??
