Dev.D (2009)
Sanjay Bhansali ruins entire novel and Anurag Kashyap rebuilds one!!
Good, Great, Excellent ... and finally Rocking !! ~~ This is how one can define Dev.D ~~
In 2002 Sanjay Leela Bhansali completely ruined the novel of Sarat Chand. Luxurious sets, high profile star cast. And a bunch of over actors. EXCEPT THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THIS IN DEV.D
Starting with Abhay Deol, he did a brilliant job an an actor. Pretty good and realistic form of acting by Abhay proves his success story in Hindi Cinema after movies like OLLO, Ahista Ahista, Soch Na Tha... Mahie Gill does an awesome debut job as Paro and Kalki truly excels being Chanda. Dibyendu Bhattacharya being modern "Chunni" did fine work ... much better than Jackie Shroff in 2002.
Fast moving camera angles just along with face of Abhay Deol in few scenes tells the story of hard work behind the screen by DOP. Color Scheme is simply great.
Direction is something that kept the pace of the story. Anurag Kashyap's genre of movies are not so likable by general commercial audience in India but the message he delivers just proves every commercial film critic wrong.
Music & Background Score...the heart of the movie... Amit Trivedi outstands even the giants of Indian Cinema like Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy & Vishal Shekhar & Salim-Suleiman. Sudden techno to funk to folk and back to techno and then to rock...really makes you fall in love with the music...
Dance and Cam performances by "The Twilight Players" from the UK will surely blow your mind (even the trailers tell the dance story).
Overall, the movie is simply awesome..
Deserving 10/10...
God Only Knows! (2007)
Not that Bad!!
OK, I saw this movie 3 years back and it's still a memory. I don't know why people are shouting, this movie being pathetic. OK, this movie is not a great movie to see but it definitely isn't gross. Great sense of humor provided at regular times and a well planned movie. I recommend the viewers to see it whenever they're stressed; it works as a stress buster. I still wonder why people still look for Yash Raj kind of sick movies and discard such low profile but good movies. Performances by Anjan Srivastava, Viju Khote and Sharbani Mukherjee is appreciable. Trying to convey a message on Indian politicians, this movie shows how an Indian politician can even do politics in Hell too. He can even unbalance the atmosphere of "Nark" and annoy "Yamraj". I'm not good in commenting but whole in whole, this movie is great for once a watch type of audience.
