Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne (2003)
Big Fat CHARADE!
If you've seen Stanley Donen's classic "Charade", starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn or even the awful Jonathan Demme remake "The Truth About Charlie", you'll pretty much figure out what the story is. This movie is a big-fat rip-off with a predictable and well known storyline, cheap thrills and bad action. The script is absolute bulls**t, so are the performances.
For starters, Zayed Khan doesn't look like a cop from any angle (so what if he's undercover), what with all his wannabe styles and gimmicks. Even the Mark Wahlberg-Tim Robbins-Thandie Newton version's worth a rush through. But this one is absolute rubbish. Esha Deol needs to do lot more than a crash course when it comes to learning acting. Gulshan Grover is crap, but thats okay. As for the other sidekicks, the least said, the best. The songs are just a cherry on this piece of crap, making it even crappier. The action bit is an absolute disaster. Taken from almost every Hollywood blockbuster's that's come into the action director's head.
Skip it, even if you've not seen the original. Skip it, even if its the only thing you got.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
easily the best from stephen king...
watch it twice, thrice or how many ever times, the shawshank redemption is one movie that you can never call boring, especially for the way it has dealed with abstract terms like humanity and hope. the movie does have its flaws such as Red being the only guy who's hair has greyed after 33 yrs in prison. but then, when you watch such a great movie, these flaws are easily to be forgotten.what is to be remembered is the victory of the human spirit.
