He is truly a gentle man...Gentleman Review!!

Finally, I get to write the review for this movie :).
And I am all happy to do that.

This film is definitely different from the other Nani movies that we have already seen. We have seen him in nice, homely, forgetful boy roles, which we have immensely liked. But this one, is different. This one brings out Nani as a true actor.

There would be no fun if the story of the film is revealed. So I will talk about the other stuff only.

Indraganti sir had an amazing cast and super story. He capitalized it to the max and gave us a delightful movie. The weaving of the story was top-notch.

The good part first:

• NANI - No words, classic!!
• SRINIVAS AVASARALA(SA) - He stood out like a charm. Nani and SA bring out great stuff together. They have done it repeatedly and have never disappointed.
• NIVEDITHA THOMAS - She is magic on the screen. She has done her job amazingly well. Crisp and smart, truly admiring
• STORY - A good story always wins, Proved once again and how!! Simply wow!!
• The part in Kodaikanal - one of the most romantic pieces that I have seen in some time.

The not so good part, (Oh yes! I am biased, I am a BIG Nani and SA fan, so there will be no bad part)

• LENGTH - I felt the screen play could have been quicker. I felt it got a little dragged in the second half.
• Vennela Kishore - A mockery was made out of him. I felt the jokes around him could have been better.

The music was ok, did not enjoy it much, but people have responded well to it. I still hum the songs of Bhale Bhale Magadivoy :).

A special mention about Srinivas Avarsarala, never before did I see him in an antagonist role. So this one was new and he has charmed us all with his incredible acting skills.

I will recommend everyone to go and watch this movie. 

My rating for this movie: 4/5 :)!!

Udta Punjab - My review

I got the privilege to watch a very honest movie called Udta Punjab. A very bold and crude movie, it is. 

The story is as depicted in the poster of the movie. Shahid Kapur is a drug addict rockstar. Kareena Kapoor Khan is a doctor who also runs a rehabilitation center. Alia Bhatt is a Bihari migrant in need of money, accidentally gets hold of a drug packet, worth lakhs. Diljit Dosanjh is a SI with Punjab Police. 

The story has been beautifully written to interconnect all these characters. And everyone has a brilliant role and been sketched beautifully. The chemistry between them also is amazing. 

The best part is not even a single frame there is, where the actual motto behind the film, i.e. drugs problem has been missed. The screenplay really needs to be commended for it. 

The music is okay. It just suits the essence of the film. 

I particularly liked the way Diljit played the part, very subtle yet strong. He gets full marks for his brilliant acting.

I will not reveal the story at all.  I would request everyone to watch this film. It is hard hitting yet true.

My rating for the movie: 4/5. 

The Conjuring 2 - My review

First experience is always special. So was this!!
My first horror movie in the theater with my husband.
I was always scared of watching horror movies, but of late after having watched numerous movies at home, I have gotten used to watching horror flicks. And so I gathered enough courage to watch "The Conjuring 2".

I may not be able to give a review like a critic or some one as I am just a novice in the world of horror movies.
So as a regular viewer, this is my review of the movie.

The story is simple and the usual, a family in London is suffering from disturbing paranormal activities at home. Ed and Lorraine Warren rescue them from it. But before that, they are asked to visit a home in AmityVille where Lorraine gets a premonition about Ed. That is where the story gets connected to London.

In London lives a family of 4 kids along with their mother, trying to make ends meet. They start to experience some strange situations in the house that scares them. Then the younger girl is confiscated by the ghost who is causing issues in the house and causes further problems.

There are some inhibitions that the family is faking all this, in a pursuit of better house.

One of the local professors who lost his daughter in an accident and still feels that she is around him, understands the pain the family is undergoing and requests the church to help the family. The church asks the Warrens to validate the situation and they come to London to check.

This connection to Amityville is interesting and well directed. I particularly liked the usage of one of the most beautiful Elvis song, "I can't help falling in love with you". I totally love this song and its presence in this movie was heartwarming. 

Coming to the horror part, it was scary and innovative. I really pity my husband for his hand must have hurt real bad after the movie, as I had held it real tight, thanks to the scary situations. The sound effects are good, and all the actors have done a great job.

All in all, a good movie, a horror movie lover will enjoy it.

My rating for the movie: 3.5/5
