Movies I saw in April ...

Tum Milo To Sahi

 

A very nice feel-good movie with several characters and their inter-linked lives. Watching Nana Patekar and Dimple Kapadia was a delight as was the subtle acting by opther characters in the movie. This was one of those feel good movie one might easily forget and not even think about again, but one which we surely enjoy while watching. Mind you, some people may actually find it boring too.

 

Paathshaala

 

Why O Why did I even go to see the movie. The promos seemed promising. Yet another movie with kids and the backdrop of school meant that it might be raising some pertinent questions about the education system. The movie started off fine and was proceeding fine until a song in which we see a lot of sub-plots and potential in the movie. The gal who has a crush on the handsome teacher, the guy who has a crush on this girl but afraid to talk to her, some kid who is shunned by others and some cute little kids including the Balika Vadhu girl and the Chini Kum girl; both having good potential to carry a sub-story. BUT, none of that happened.

 

After the song, everything seemed to fall apart and the whole story centred on our fat guy who is making life miserable for the kids by asking them to pay for anything and everything. A reality show crew enters the school scene and the story goes for a complete toss. The end also comes abruptly with seemingly no conclusion in sight.

 

Why was the movie made is still a question ! what message was being given out. I have already ruled out entertainment since that was clearly what I did not find in the movie.

 

Date Night

 

It was a fun movie. About how a husband and wife go out on a date and how one lie puts them in the wrong place and a wrong time with a mistaken identity which puts them in the cross fire of police and gangsters. The movie spanning one night was an interesting and fun thing to watch but an entirely forgettable one. Imagine, i went to see this movie with my fiancee :)

 

Bounty Hunter

 

An interesting movie. Nothing great or memorable but an entertainer nevertheless. Memorable for me would be the company I had when i went for the movie :)

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
