2005-MOVIES

Well one year has flown past in a whisker and 2006 is here....Well in this blog i would like to comment on a few movies based on a couple of catagories.
A.Less expectations but high satisfaction

1.BLUFF MASTER- Evnt thought the promos gave an impression as to the film would be slick con movie somehow i had my own reservations about an ABHISHEK BACHAN solo starrer.Boy how fool was i made to look.At the end of the movie i had a feeling that i had really watched somethign that i had be looking for so ong in hindi movies.Rap Hip-Hop songs....Perfomances of the highest order.....Mind Blowing camera work....And last but not the least the Climax of the movie...This was the true crossover movie as opposed to other hinglish movies that are being churned out.

2.Ghajini- Yet another Tamil potboiler..But again i was proved wrong.Even though the story was inspired from a hollywood flick this movie was the only tamil movie worth spending a few dollars to watch.The onscreen chemistry between the lead pair ASIN- SURYA was something that wasnt witnessed in indian movies since SRK-KAJOL.The music was quite ok and the picturisation of the songs were quite brilliant.Altogether 3 hours of entertainment.

3.D- Well a relatively fresh face as the hero.But this movie certainly did have the RGV imprint on it.A well made movie on the mumbai underworld .Even though a lot of movies had been made on this genre time and time agian this one was very differen from the lot mainly due to the casting.Radeep Hooda was amazing in the potrayal of the underworld gangster.

4.Salaam Namaste- To be frank i am not a big fan of the aditya chopra school of movie maving.For me VEER-ZARA was crap.So when i read the preview of this movie i really thought that this would be just like any other chopra movie heavily laced with sentiments.But i was proven wrong ..Evn though the climax was abig let-down.The rest of the movie was worth watchin again and again.This movie really proved that indian cinema has changed big time....Kudos to siddhart anand and team.

5.Chocolate-Many might not have liked this movie.But as far i was concerned this movie was one of the better made movies of 2005.The suspense in the movies had you at the edge of your seats all the time.And the perfomance of IRFAN KHAN playing the suspect does indeed desrve a few awards.The climax of the movie was the highest point of this movie even though it was a copy of the hollywood flick USUAL SUSPECTS.

High expectations and complete disatisfaction.
1.MANGAL PANDEY - This had to be the biggest dissapoinment of 2005 for most of the movie buffs.An aamir khan movie after 4 years ..All the hype just evaporated once the curatins were raised .This movie was a complete bore barring the perfomance of TOBY STEPHENS.Amisha patel and Rani mukherjee wer mere props while the music from AR.RAHMAN(my favoutite personality) was pathetic.Aamir Khan was completed wasted in the role of MANGAL PANDEY who has a you blink you miss place in the history books of tenth standard.Hopes are high for RANG DE BASNATI.Touch wood this might be a comebcak for aamir.
2.ANNIYAN-Stupid movie making from one the most highly rated directors of indian cinema.An insipid audio track.Less said is better about this movie.But the perfomance of VIKRAM and Prakash Raj was a highlight of an otherwise drab affair.

3.ELAAN- What a bore.Touted to bethe modern SHOLAY.....there was just no fire.An illogical script coupled with some of the worst perfomances evre to be seen on indian screen(amisha patel leads the pack)made this movie a torchure of anyone who
dared to venture to watch this movie.

4.CHANDROLSAVAM-I had to include this .Didn I.Why not...A mega star movie with a maverick director of mallu world.But no movie could have been more boring than this
(Kochi rajavu will give a tight competition) .Oh god SAVE MOHAN LAL.

5.JAMES- A movie from the RGV factory can be so badly made...???yes it can be..this movie proved it.The perfect repentance for any major sin you would have done last year would be watchin this moving without moving from your seat.Mohit Alawat is sheer waste of reel space.Hope Rgv comes up with something better.


There has been more good movies and more worse movies.But these were a few that i felt i had to write about.
