One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
Message is greater than what meets the eyes
In the book, story follows a man who is sent to prison for rape of a 15 year old girl, this part is not mentioned in the movie.
Did not understand and appreciate the message in the movie first. I had to read reviews and articles on the movie to understand that the author was talking about life in general. Its not about the mental asylum only. It was fun to watch Danny DeVito play one of his first roles. Pace of the movie is excellent. Liked excellent portrayal of Nurse Ratched. Some excellent camera angle work can be appreciated. You feel attached to the patients due to their acting skills. Even the ending is not straight forward one has to conceptualize and understand why and what happened. This is one of the great film endings.
Maqbool (2003)
Best Star Cast
One cannot ask for a better cast of best actors in Mumbai. Naseer, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapoor, Tabu, Irfan,
Vishal Bharadwaj gets credit for brilliant film with high caliber in fields.
Every character is built strongly and it is difficult to decide to like or be against any character.
Minor roles played by Om Puri and Naseer play a very critical role in telling the story strongly. Their agreeing to play minor roles talks greatly about their dedication towards the art of acting.
Pankaj Kapoor's portrayal of Mumbai don with grounding in reality is almost impossible to match.
Kahaani 2 (2016)
In League of Kahaani 1
Though it has no link with Kahaani 1 though the linkage creates expectations. Story is well run though it lacks any suspense. The story is told strongly with no turns and twists which cannot be foreseen as the writer himself reveals how the plot will flow.
Sujoy Ghosh and Vidya Balan repeat the magic. Vidya Balan merges with her role effortlessly like her other high performance roles.
Arjun Rampal fits in well in his role as sub inspector though he did not have much to do.
Its Vidya Balan movie all in all.

Chocolat (2000)
Sweet Movie
A very sweet movie. Excellent representation of a simple story represented in a powerful way. The village location is perfect for a old world slow lifestyle charm. Messaging is subtle and strong. Judi Dench's presence as always is royal and majestic. Juliette Binoche fits in perfectly in the lead role and has charming personality.
Not very pleased with Alfred Molina's representation of the character Helene provides strong supporting presence. Johnny Depp has strong personality but does not overshadow the story.
Speed of story telling is just right and I am sure the author would be pleased with the representation of his story in a memorable way.
Sully (2016)
Movie makes you question Sully's decisions
Excellent representation of a true event. The director did a good job of adding drama with lack of action. One wonders if the movie would have had a more lasting impression and viewers would be thinking about movie more if more drama and action was added to the movie. Tom Hanks portrayal of Sully a sincere hard working pilot looks very accurate but may not be his best work. Sully's wife's role is portrayed well with strong presence even though very short. Movie does make one think about Sully's decisions and question if his actions were 100% correct. In order to create lasting impression it may have been better to exaggerated a little.
