Saving Mr. Banks (2013)
emotional , enchanting and occasionally funny ... this one is a gem
When you have Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson in the lead, you can expect nothing but greatness , and this one is nothing short of it. This re imagining of how Walt Disney tries to convince P.L. Travers for securing the rights of her work "Mary Poppins" is a very involving and an emotionally drenching tale that is very rare to see in a Hollywood flick.
The story begins with P.L. Travers who is struggling financially as there are no more Mary Poppins books and the royalty from her works have dried up. Reluctant as she was for the past 20 years in giving rights of her work to Mr. Walt Disney , she decides to give it a shot provided the script and the re imagining of the character fulfills her demands and inner satisfaction. the film also features the childhood events of the author and how these events have Mary Poppins, the character. This is a story about how Walt Disney persuades Mrs P.L. Travers and whether or not she will grant those rights , is what the story all about.
It is a simple story , with some fine performances. the characters make you believe they are real.Tom Hanks as Walt Disney and Emma Thompson as P.L. Travers are in fine form. They are flawless in their performance, and makes it look so easy. Also a special mention to the performance of Collin Farrell who played the role of P.L Travers' father with great finesse and honesty.
It is tough to direct a movie that has such a simple story line and John Lee Hancock has done a marvelous job with it .In the end I would like to say that everyone should give this movie a shot for its simplicity, emotional content and overall for the child in you.The honesty with which the movie is shot is not going to disappoint you. Trust me....
Double Dhamaal (2011)
a good example of a bad film
horrible movie.i wonder how i managed to stick for 2 hrs 15 min.but there was nothing to offer in this flick. thejokes were rubbish,the plot ,iwonder if there was one. and the worst part of the movie,they scare in the end for the next part.this one was equally bad as the first one was good.so my recommendations don't go for it.it will definitely bound to give you a headache. Talking of performances... the most disappointing was kangana ranaut...it was as if she was picked from some roadside and pushed to act...mallika shehrawat as usual had nothing to offer. sanjay dutt's acting was lame... even riteish deshmukh was a big disappointment. sp i would conclude that this movie is a perfect mixture of bad script worse direction and awful acting...so if u want to see how bad a film can be go for it ....else look out for something else
