Bajarangi bhaijaan - Hindi movie


Music Director


















Director







It  was August 2 and my wats app account was filled with messages pertaining to Friendship. Yup it was all about "Happy friendship day", got them from my school friends, college friends, my tenant, my co-workers etc. I just posted a reply message to one of the group,"How about celebrating the day?" After initial hiccups there was a plan  fixed, a cinema as well as dinner.

Bajarangi bhaijan, title looks creative and before watching the movie I just guessed it to be a remake of South indian Mega star Chirajeevi starrer Jai Chiranjeeva. But this cinema was entirely different in the sense, it was put in a rather simple and kid attractive manner, which makes more sense to the kids.



Everything was simple, ever dashing Salman khan was simple, bean hipped Kareena Kapoor was simple, story was simple, plot was simple and last but not the least Baby Munni-(I would like to mention her so) was indeed simple and more importantly cute.

Plot was about a girl who gets abandoned on her way from India to Pakistan, who originally belongs to Pakistan and also about the struggle of our being human hero Salman Khan to enable that cute little angel to reach her home safe and neat.

This main story line is supported by sub story lines which speaks about the hindu muslim relationship, nationality, love, symapthy, journalism, bhakti and all major good on the earth.

But the most important factor which floored me completely was that innocence on the face of the Munni throughout the cinema which made her character look as much real as possible on the screen, touched my heart and result was tears in my eyes on seeing happiness on her face as soon as she reached her home and hugged her mom.


And the film was worth the money which grossed around 300cr till date and one time watchable for the sake of Munni. Hope her innocence is safeguarded and remain untouched despite grand success of the cinema, stardom and wish to see more of her in near future. Best of luck Munni. 

Meanwhile after cinema, we moved towards a restaurant for our dinner to complete the day and fill it with joy and happiness.

Brahma- Kannada Movie

Director: R Chandru
Music Director: Gurukiran
Lyricst: Kaviraj
Cast:
Upendra 
Pranitha
Rangayana Raghu


"Brahma", title creates a flutter and a sense of expectation from the cinema and it was last day of my semester exams. Myself and my friends wanted to clear the tense mood by watching a cinema. We hunted several theaters in the majestic area and finally got a ticket to "Brahma" . It was the first day of the release and there was quiet decent crowd.

After a wait for around half an hour, we could enter the theater and show began with that extra-ordinary whistles for the beloved hero-"Mr. Uppi alias Upendra". 

I cannot clearly remember exactly the starting scene of the cinema. Pl don't doubt on my memory power but truly speaking it is for the director of the film to be blamed for his "chow-chow bath" kind of screen play which jumps regularly from present tense to past tense frequently and we need to keep track of both tenses perfectly.

Personally, I was very depressed the way a worthy good-will message was delivered in a unworthy way. Honestly speaking, the basis of the cinema takes its root from the Telugu film " Kick" starring Ravi Teja. The story is about a man taking illegal route to feed the needs of poor and unsupported kids. It speaks about our duty as a responsible citizens to show a little bit of courtesy for the people who are deprived of love and care.

But this exemplary message is lost in the order-less screenplay which tries to fill many things in little space/time. We find Mr.upendra doing romance, Police hunting for upendra, Upendra fighting the bad people, Upendra looting big shots, Upendra doing comedy. Its all about upendra and not about story.

I expect people in Kannada industry to do some homework and simply glance their past glory, days when heroes like Ambarish, Tiger Prabhakar, Vishnuvardhan, Dr. Rajkumar ruled the cinema world by placing the story above their personal virtues.

The only saving grace of the cinema was beauty of the Pranitha and Comedy of our ever green comedian Rangayana Raghu.

Music and I dont have anything special to speak about the same.

I would like to give two out of five stars for the cinema.

Real Brahma creates the universe, this Brahma is busy giving right upadesha in a confusing manner...

Meanwhile, I could really connect with trailer of the film "Ulidavaru Kandanthe" and I am really looking forward for the cinema.

Life of Pi -- (English Genre)

I had always wished to watch this spectacular movie of the decade on the big screens with a 3-D glass on my eyes, but it was my exams and i missed the same. My friends were much agreeing about the no-nonsense story and magnificent graphics in the movie and had to keep listening to their experience and slowly the topic faded.

Last week, I had to share some technical materials with my friend and in return he loaded the pen drive with a HD quality print of the movie " LIFE of PI"


Eager to watch the film which had made a great news across the globe, film was loaded into my computer and speakers were set to huge decibels, show began for the one man audience. Believe me, the film did justice to the hype and was far better than my level of imagination.

Story did begin from Pondicherry, a union territory of India to speak about the happenings in the life of Pi-Patel, son of a zoo keeper. After the family head decides to close the zoo and sell the animals to western countries, they begin their sea travel along with animals packed in a ship. 

Pi Patel, a sharp minded, straight forward individual , followed his passion on a high scale. It may be about his interest in practicing three different religions , his eagerness to watch the Richard parker (a Bengal Tiger) close into its eyes or to speak to Anandi about his first love. Never would have this guy, imagined about his wildest days ahead and was busy enjoying rains pouring into the ship caught amid-st a wild storm.

Slowly and steadily, the wild waters swallowed the big ship but was kind enough to allow Pi-patel along with his zoo-mates to survive with help of a rescue boat. Pi-patel saw his co-survivors- Zebra, oranguton, hyena die in-front of him to become a feed for Richard parker (same old Bengal Tiger). The rest of the story is about the struggle between Pi-patel and Richard parker to survive and get out the wide deep ocean alive.

During this struggle, Pi-patel , who was vegetarian was forced to feed on non-veg, he grows his persona to the level of mastering the art of controlling a tiger under his command. He is introduced to his beloved god, a carnivorous island and at-last gets out of the sea along with Richard Parker alive to share this magnificent experience with the world which never believes him.

More than words, its the artificial world of water and the animation graphics speaks volumes and a big kudos to the Director of Film- Mr.Ang lee for getting this superb piece of art into reality.

Its worth watching Life of Pi. Five out of Five stars for the film.

EPIC-2 (A 3D movie)

And the cinema hall near my locality had installed a new Sony 4K 3D projector and i hadn't experienced the same for quite some time. And being a lover of cartoon movies I never wanted to miss the opportunity for watching EPIC-@ which got some positive reviews from my friends circle and decided to watch the same.

It was the last day for the movie in the theater and I got to the same quite early and i was entertained outside the theater by the kids who were quite eager to get into the cinema hall. It was time up and show started little earlier ahead of the scheduled time. With few people inside the cinema hall, i had a comfortable viewing angle of my choice.


Film is all about the fight between the good and the old and this time is in terms of afforestation and deforestation and i personally appreciate the concept which serves as an eye opener about our failure to acknowledge the beauty associated with the nature and for sake of monetary gains we are into making this beautiful earth a barren land indeed.

Queen character and associated VG of the way she is taken out on the leafy chariot is quiet awesome and even the race scene in the movie pulls us into the same. Music is good.

The movie is quiet a good experience especially for the ever enthusiastic kids who never get tired like we the adults.

Overall it was a good 3D experience and i loved the same....

Myna- Kannada movie review


Director: Nagashekhar
Producer: NS Rajakumar
Music Director: Jessigift
Cast:
Chetan Kumar as Sathya Murthy

Nithya Menon as Myna



I had borrowed a software and needed to return to my brother whose house was situated at Jayanagar. It was Sunday evening and even my brother was feeling bored. It was a last minute decision that we immediately made up our mind to watch a film at Eshwari theater and to our luck tickets weren't sold out.

Got the tickets and entered the wide hall. People were busy settling and film began as per schedule. It is a romantic story with a tragic ending. Though the story line is unbelievable but carries a tag of " TRUE STORY" with it.

Lead actor who is selected for a TV show happens to meet his lady love on a train which runs between Castle rock and Goa via Doodh Sagar waterfalls. The guy gets so much in love with his girl that he walks out of the show not wanting to share his hundred rupee note ( Watch the film you will do understand). If i were in his place, I would have borrowed another hundred rupee note and would have continued with the game.

So the hero manages to impress his lady love in disguise of a beggar without a leg. Story just builds pace when the heroine comes to know that hero is indeed with good legs and when hero comes to know that heroine has no walk-able legs.

After romance, its about a bad doctor who is killed by the hero and finally both hero and heroine are killed due a word uttered by police officer which is heard wrong by the constables and it is " DON'T SHOOT". And I got to know a new meaning for the word " COLOURFUL" from the film.

Cinematography is great and camera man has been successful in capturing the wet look of the Doodhsagar water falls.

Finally I would like to say that I cant believe the story line and Chetan needs to tune up his emotional skills like Nithya menon who is truly fabulous. A superb song for you from the film:


Charminar- Kannada Film review


Director: R Chandru
Producer: R Chandru
Music Director: Hari , Gurukiran
Lyricst: Kaviraj
Cast:
Prem Kumar as Mohan
Meghana Gaonkar as Radha


Had done with my exams, called my dip friends and a date was fixed to get together for those funny moments of life...we love to be together..

And my horse was ready on a Sunday morning ,I mean my bike, got on to it and reached CPRI , suddenly clutch wire of my bike got cut. Now i didn't want to disappoint my friends and parked the vehicle near a school to join my gang.

Four friends together and there was happiness, checked out the nearest theater and it was Santosh featuring CHARMINAR FILM. Got the tickets and settled in our seats.

Charminar film did start with story line about group of people arranging for a get together and it was a co-incidence we friends did watch the film after a get together indeed.
Though the film starts with friendship, it is more about the love between a guy and his school mate who happens to be alumni of the school.

Film is quite romantic which has that ability of of inciting love in your heart and makes u feel that unique experience and story line is not so complicated too. But there is a unnecessary speech and story twists at the end part of the film which u may find it difficult to digest.

Otherwise it is a movie with good message which has that ability to make ur hearts melt. I loved the music too but don't remember any songs or its lines. In the acting department Prem and his co-star have done justice to their roles.

Charminar , its a one time watchable movie. A song for you from the film.

Godavari- Telugu Film Review


Director: Sekhar Kammula
Producer: Raju GVG
Music Director: K.M.Radhha Krishnan
Actor:      Sumanth
Actress:  Kamalinee Mukherjee



I am loving to write a review about this movie...though little old (2006) but I had missed to include this one in my collection...to be fulfilled now...!!!

Godavari.. name of the river flowing in Andhra Pradesh state of India...and this film is about a love story sprouting between two souls travelling together on a wonderful boat journey to Bhadrachalam...

Love this film as it clearly distinguishes love from other age based feel..which many telugu cinemas fail to convey to the audience....a matured love story indeed..!!!

Film keeps u involved in its story with its unique high quality content...Lead heroine, an aspiring enterpreneur on a holy visit to temple meets her love who is good but unsettled in life..Hero is quite sad as a girl who he liked rejects him due to his slow upright behavior ....

Both the lead actors find good attachment in them in terms of their ideas and  enjoy their togetherness...!!!

But in a twisting tale even the other girl feels to be missing the hero and comes back to him...This creates confusion in the story..

Rest of the film is about the incidents which gets Hero and Heroine closer as well as gets them far away...in the end .. u will find them being together...A happy ending indeed...Its something exotic which u will enjoy about the film..!!!

Director has done a great job to create that cute feel or long for true love, music assists director in a great way...

A Superb song for you.....
