Maach Mishti & More (2013)
Bedroom was better and I liked the trailer
I really don't know if there in nothing new happening in Kolkata in recent time except extramarital affairs, endless nostalgia of NRIs, nihilism, generation gap, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes by girls etc etc. I mean, these days, I can almost pre-visualize eighty percent stories of Kolkata-movies that I watch.Perhaps, I miss the rest twenty just because I get deflected out of boredom at one point. Maach, Mishti and More is no different.
Pointless to say that the film has fabulous casting of recent times - some of them are my personal favorite and yet, failed to offer me something unique. I felt like I already saw this family, their crisis for multiple times in multiple films. Raima, Swastika, Param are good as usual. Others are also found well honest to their characters. Seamless plot ran gently as they usually do. But, the show never gripped me for once just like the trailer did. Sure, had I seen it as it is the the first one of its kind in my life, I would like it a lot more.
Bapi Bari Jaa (2012)
Good Entertainment
I enjoyed the every single moment of the movie but I don't think it would be the same experience if I would have watched it with my parents or someone senior. But, hai, who cares?
Mimi is fantabulous! I, personally, got convinced by the plot and all the characters. The first song that was shot in a bar seems to be a bit creepy and not-to-the-mark. Otherwise, rests are quite OK and well shot. I did enjoy the gang, their attitude and all funny misdoings. Scripts was well written incorporating good sense of humor. The very last shot where Mimi and Arjun kiss each other in a busy, public place with lots of staring eyes to them is bold and one of its kind.
Hats off to the directors. Movies should be such fun and refreshing. I think I will watch it again.
The Namesake (2006)
We all came out of Gogol's overcoat
My expression after the movie was not exactly something like mind blowing, although undoubtedly it kept me wondering for a long time. keeping words to my insanity about movie-knowledge, I came to know about Mira (The director)for the very first time by this film. But after watching that, I am eagerly looking forward to watch some of her more. There were too many good shots to mention during the two hours. The screening was awesome! As TABU is in my all time favorite list, it should not require much words to describe her whereas IRFAN KHAN and KAL PANE were genuine in their own roles. But beyond all their excellency, the theme part of THE NAMESAKE touched me most. It makes me to wonder about my root as well as the destination. After the long day, Life seems to be a big paradox.
The Notebook (2004)
too mush silly for 8.0
Its really a silly romantic movie made by Nick Cassavetes.I tried my best to enjoy it but terribly failed.I did not find anything remarkable to rate this up to 8.0. Gosh.....Its a trap.I like romance but it must contain a minimum standard obviously not something like "Love at first sight" or "and then they happily lived ever after" or "born for each other ".The movie starts with pre-affair condition between two teenage noah and allie like all other cheap teen movies and then breaks them up by highlighting the financial discrepancy between two families. The ending is horrible as well that tries to prove that they are in so deep love that they must die together.Comparatively "Lake house" or "serendipity" are far better than this one. Although It has placed in top 250 i have to say that it is a very healthy teen movie.As i am not a teenage anymore it breaks my heart.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Itz not only about kate's hair
It should not be an exaggeration if i say that kate is in her best in this movie not only for her unusual movements but also for her distinguishing hair that changes color with the sequence.I must appreciate Jim carry's role though i am not big fan of him.And above all the story teller must be given a big hand for the twist that tracks down the viewers mind to a deep thinking.Carry's running away with kate through library,kitchen,dining room --all these scenes make a feeling like i am just sitting in Joel's brain watching outside.I just can not stop thinking about this eternal sunshine not only for my favorite actress but also for that good time I have passed with this movie.
