Traffic (2016)
A gripping movie
Inspired by a real-life incident, the story of the movie Traffic revolves around how soon can you clear crazy traffic jam while it is pouring heavily between Mumbai to Pune to transport a beating heart of a brain-dead person to rescue a deceasing patient.
The honesty with which relationships are portrayed in the movie is commendable. From breaking stereotypes to a policeman seeking redemption, a celebrity being arrogant even when while facing a personal tragedy, helping someone else while the mother is herself in grief, every character teaches you a life lesson!
The recurring time-stamps and the zig-zag narratives of the film give you the thrill of a race, a race against time and commands all your attention. The most gripping part of "Traffic" is the road journey that keeps you on the edge of your seats! Manoj Bajpayee, the police constable leaves a powerful impact on your minds with his eagerness to complete what seems to be impossible mission! Even Jimmy Shergill needs to be lauded for doing justice to his role. Exactly what you can expect from an award winning, experienced star cast!
I wouldn't disagree to the fact that there were a few minor flaws in the movie. Having said that, I believe that Traffic is a movie that deserves a round of applause because it depicts human spirit in the time of crisis. It is about life giving you a second chance. One must watch it for all the inspiration it offers! As they say sometimes even a wrong turn can take you in the right direction.
Te3n (2016)
An interesting movie with a unique theme.
TE3N is based on the Korean thriller Montage, a film about a grandfather's helplessness, his quest for justice and closure that catches you by the neck and keeps you on the edge of your seats in anticipation of a new twist until the end!
This 138 minute film by Ribhu Dasgupta with its captivating star cast is a must watch. Amitabh Bachchan gives his yet another power- packed performance as a bereaved grandfather. His inexorable and relentless hunt despite the old age, an erratic scooter and his wheelchair- bound wife makes his struggle seem your own! Even Nawazuddin and Vidya Balan have played their part with sheer competence and brilliance.
I felt nostalgic watching it remembering my grandparents' and the unconditional love they showered upon me. It perfectly depicts how the death of the youngest member of the family affects the lives of the elders, how time just stops, when all you wish is for the days to pass, the trouble to overcome the grief and how the guilt simply does not let you live!
Madaari (2016)
One of those movies you can't miss.
A madaari enjoys a powerful and gripping image in our thoughts as the one who makes his subjects dance and move to the tunes of his damroo. It's never a pleasant show when the damroo gets in the wrong hands, making a mess of things that later proves fatal for the society at large. With this message beautifully rendered by Irrfan Khan through Madaari, it is a statement made that every Indian has to realize and face. A delicately handled plot of how a father loses his son to irresponsible acts of the powerful men, Madaari challenges your thoughts and actions against injustice. Irrfan loses his beloved son to a mishap caused due to the greed of some men, who take things for granted until it's their turn to lose the dear ones. Irrfan had superbly carried the image of a grieving father who is now determined to make his voice heard and his actions seen. Jimmy Shergill compliments the movie's flavor with a completely satisfactory performance as a cop, wonderfully captured by the director, Nishikant Kamat. The first half is a little slow, but engaging, with a second half that completely engrosses you into the story. A must watch if you are looking for quality content and some superb storytelling. An interesting portrayal of how everyone wants change but nobody wants to act for the change, justifying the tag line of the movie 'Sshhh, Desh So Raha Hai'.
