Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020)
Best Indian web series ever made
This is the best ever series ever made based on true events, this is how historic events should be covered in a period drama showing human side.
All the actors (no stars :p) have done fantastic job, Pratik Gandhi rocked the whole series, each scene he is in he nabs it.
Dr. Prakash Baba Amte - The Real Hero (2014)
Biopic of epic personalities
This movie is released in three languages, Marathi, Hindi & English.
It is the story of legendary social worker, Doctor, wildlife conserver Magsaysay award winner Dr. Prakash Baba Amte. Son of renowned social worker, founder of leprosy care center 'Anandwan' & Magsaysay award winner Baba(Murlidhar) Amte. It's really a biopic of Amte family, Father & two sons, Prakash & Vikas. Executed brilliantly by national award winning actor Nana Patekar & Sonali Bendre.
Story begins with naxalite background of region where Amte family works, Vidarbh, part of Maharashtra, India. Then it introduces Prakash Amte (Nana Patekar) thru scene of journalists taking interview. Then the ground reality of situation of tribal people, their life, their conflict. Dr. Prakash & his wife(Sonali Kulkarni) have been invited to USA for event, but consulate rejects the visa, it becomes sensational news & US embassy has to apology to Dr. duo. After reaching hotel in New York, a young tribal man from Vidarbha visits duo by surprise, then movie goes in flashback via thru that young man's mystical story.
From narration of (Nana Patekar) story unfolds from his childhood, who was Baba Amte, how he raised children, with his principles & social cause. His college days & decision to work in Hemalkasa, Gadchiroli district, on government given land as a sole health care Doctor among the tribal people who don't really understand the concept. Then it's all about the struggle, hard work, empathy. Trying to convince people that medical science is to their benefit & not some cruel, strange rituals. His practice without sufficient facility, operations performed in colossal pressure.
The story of how he used to merge in nature easily, be it with snakes, tiger or leopard, or dear. Dr. Prakash in real life plays with wild animals easily.
How government of India realized their work & importance when foreign nations gave them award. Then India government awarded these people.
All in all, it's a must watch movie.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)
Its a delightful movie to watch in theatre
Just came home after watching this movie in theatre with a smile.
Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller) is a 42 year old guy who has worked for past 16 years as a photo negative asset management for LIFE magazine. He day-dreams about him being adventures & sporty guy, recently with his co-worker Cheryl Melhoff(Kristen Wiig). He is persistent in his work & favorite of star photographer Sean O'Connell (Sean Penn) to him he never have met personally. LIFE magazine is about shut down to remain only on internet form. For it's last cover photo Sean O'Connell has recommended a special photo which Walter can't find in received package, which also has Sean's letter. Here Walter's journey begins to find Sean who is old school who does not use phone and roams around the world all the time.
At the first 15 mins you wonder whats going on, Walter is just 'zoned out' , he and his disconnected day dreams. But it really picks up in a while, thru chemistry between Walter and his family - mother n sister, his child hood stories, his meeting with Cheryl and her son, and when he decides to find Sean starting first trail to Greenland. Then there are stunning cinematography combined with perfect soundtrack, amazing rides and funny situations which of course are like day dreams. Every one desires of some adventure in life, very few step up for it. I think movie is about that-step up spirit. If you like these kind of movies then don't listen to those low rated comments, go for it!
We're the Millers (2013)
Stupid , unrealistic but laugh out loud hilarious comedy
A mid aged small time drug dealer needs to smuggle big lot of weed from Mexico to US. He finds a way, to go in RV looking as a normal white family on trip. Hires his stripper neighbour , teenage abandoned neighbour, and run away street living big mouth girl. I found it much better than expected. Situations are much creative, one liners are hilarious, me and my friends were laughing from start to end. For some the scenes can be obscene, there are lots of adult jokes, Jennifer showing her skin (so hott for 43), the plot is predictable, but if you go with open mind just for fun you'll enjoy it. It's one of the few movies in recent that I laughed so much in theater.
The Whistleblower (2010)
Truths hurts, & bravo Kathryn Bolkovac.
I heard this was true story, and I like Rachel Weisz. I am writing this review just after seeing this movie, becoz I have to, this movie made me feel sick, frustrated, this is just unacceptable. I know there can be some good done too by UN in such a places. But from the stories and blog I read about eastern Europe, Iraq-Afghan war & role of peace-keeper's after that, I think its just money laundering machine for private corporations. I guess most of these monster of people will sell their mothers and sisters for money, and top of that mighty righteous governments like US and UK don't give a f**k about it. Like Kathryn Bolkovac says in the movie and interview, they 'don't wanna listen the truth'. Its all is just sad, and now I partially understand why many terrorist organizations are formed on base of hatred against the west.
Big Daddy (1999)
underrated! Why can't people understand this movie?
I think this is the best movie on father-son relationship. Yes, i know it is commy, but if we want message we can get from any effective media.
The child enters the life of Sunny, & he is taking care of him in his own way, he lets child do as per his wish..., i think of that always, children need to be allowed to do what they want, they learn about right or wrong themselves faster than we think. I often see parents yelling on small children, b'coz they do crazy stuff, ask lot of question, i hate those people. If u don't want to answer them, don't produce them.
And in court, when street man says "I will live on street rather than under his rules", yes, most of the dads drive their teenager mad, they mess with child's head, especially with sons. They think they r doing for his best, but they really screw things up. I am 1 of those, i hated my dad so much that for years i didn't talked to him, & my way to express my anger was smoke n drink with my friends with similar problem. I m telling u, if father son relationship improves worldwide,more than half of teenager will be free of alcohol & drug. Later my dad told me, he is that short tempered n violent b'coz of his dad??
Very serious subject is handled very hilariously. Adam Sandler's best movie. All actors r good. I think every father-son should watch this movie together.
