Raajneeti (2010)
The Quest for Power....
We all knew what Prakash Jha is capable of, and by all i mean those who have seen Gangaajal,Apaharan,Dil dosti etc and Damul.
But in Rajneeti he perhaps for the first time assembles such a glittering cast and crew and each one gets a meaty role and does justification to their acts.
After a long time we get to see a movie which really is what a movie should be Great story,excellent narration,plots that fix like a jigsaw puzzle,n superb acting. So what if the movie can easily be related to THE MAHABHARATA with pandavas,krishna,duryodhan ,karna n kunti and to the book GODFATHER where its finally the youngest son(Michael Corleone) whom everyone thinks to be an outsider and is underestimated changes the game in the interpretation of modern day Arjun with Nana Patekar as Krishna to guide him. But everything is not so smooth as the games of dirty politics in a democracy is played just like the game on a chessboard where no second thoughts are given to remove a pawn or even if it might be the king himself.
Performance wise...everyone lives upto and even goes beyond expectations. Naseer is just superb in his role as a revolutionary even if it was small,Nana Patekar shows us why he's still regarded as one of the finest actors even when he doesn't has to speak much,Arjun Rampal ,Ajay Devgan and Manoj Vajpayee too hold their acts together.Katrina's lovely to watch sans much glamour and Ranbir Kapoor too portrays his journey from a rank outsider to a shrewd calculator of the game of politics brilliantly...
The music of the movie esp the background scores are at par the other aspects and having 4 composers for 4 diff songs in a single movie also works well
In all if you love good cinema and not those mindless ones, u r in for a really good treat my ratings 4.2/5 . . . NJOY!!
The Prestige (2006)
Are You Watching closely
This ones from my favourite director and is a a masterpiece. Great story,great writing,dialogues,throw in wonderful performance by top of the league actors,suspense,thrill and the WORLD OF MAGIC AND MAGICIANS and you have an excellent movie. went beyond my expectations.
One of those rare movie where you would love to cling onto every word uttered and every dialogue spoken which in themselves have very deep meaning(something similar to THE DARK KNIGHT).
and if will watch it you wont be disappointed. Only the question is:
ARE YOU WATCHING CLOSELY??
9.8/10
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
realization of how much we are missing when we are trying to let go of each other.
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting,by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resign'd.
- Alexander Pope
I truly loved this movie and the way of narration was lovely, marvelous. Michel Gondry moves aside from the typical romance angle and takes us deep in the complexions of Human mind, and its immense possibilities.
The movie is a realization that only when we begin to lose someone,we realize that we just want to cling on to that person forever because there definitely was something about him/her that attracted us to that person in the first place and we shouldn't take that for granted and focus on their other annoying habits etc.
