Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)

Please don't take such a senseless film Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Jab Tak Hai Jaan

[3/10 · 20 November 2012]

I don't have anything good to write about this film except their effort behind this film. It shares a disappointing experience for the film lovers. Even the Classical love story genre has been out-fashioned in this digital world. And, they still project the unrealistic illogical senseless romantic story-line. Why can't these so called superstars realise the pulse of this present day world? Let them come down to earth from their heavenly Utopian world.

There's no age limits for this hero to get into the Indian Army, miraculously he even gets a lover that's 20 yrs. younger to him, and disappointingly this film bores the viewer for 3 hours with a host of unnecessary songs. I believe the audience will never forgive this Jab Tak Hai Jaan Jab Tak hai Jaan...

Invention of Love (2010)

Sophisticated love story!!

[7/10 · 14 July 2012]

Hats off for both the director, writer and the whole team. It's a must watch short film which'll definitely make you think. The present day life is chockablock with brand new ever changing technologies. However, man lost his novel concept of life in the tsunamic power of tedious mundane daily routine. So does his each actions. Everything becomes mere routine without the very passion in it. Man and even his emotions become mere mechanical.

In such a situation, this film gets it's prominence. Whatever man conquered and wherever he reached, he is still mortal and limited. Well, in fact, this film is a wake up call or a call for action button for everyone whoever wishes to live the life fully. Start living like humans not like machines.

Indian Rupee (2011)

Not as good as Renjith's Previous films!

[5/10 · 22 November 2011]

This is a satirical film which sheds light on the attitude of youth. As usual, Renjith's film has got something valuable to share with. Yes, it is. The incomparable performance of Jeguthy is amazingly great and the mighty presence of Thilakan makes the film more profound. But, Prithviraj proves yet again that he has to travel more.

Meanwhile, it's really sad to mention that the film is missing the real magic of Renjith and indeed hard to believe the Doctors' gathering is done by Renjith itself.

Many great moments were created which i've well received with a big applause but not wholly.

T.D. Dasan Std: VI. B (2010)

A soul stirring tribute to Director Mohan Raghavan

[6/10 · 1 November 2011]

A great accomplishment of a debut director. He is already counted as a genius with a single work alone. A single theme bares a hundred fold. The storyline is so simple but the simplicity is interlaced with a great many stories.

The very start and climax of the film with that Palakadan Myth, its really thought provoking. The Palm trees, they see everything and they've got more stories to tell. Perhaps, lets put it even as God the one above, who knows everything and everyone.

Well, the film is so good indeed. But, somehow, it misses a thing to touch our mind. Not an issue, in total it's a real piece of work. Hat off to this great man, the director. My tribute to this legend.

12 Angry Men (1957)

Mortality coupled with relativity!

[8/10 · 10 October 2011]

First of all let me name it as classic. No other word will be sufficient I believe. Mortal is life so is life related things i guess. The mortal man is so preoccupied with the very concept of mortality and it overflows into everything he does: his words, opinion, character and the list goes on. It also reinstates the hard truth that everything and anything can be coloured so easily at our will.

And, one other thing is that man is mere puppets in the influence of his prejudiced mindsets. He doesn't even try to think instead just act on the spur of the moment.

Yet another aspect is, what's actually truth and is there truth indeed? Everything turns out to be mere the fabrication of words and vulnerable to errors I believe.

Mortality is coupled with relativity, a perfect companion for the mortal man to have on his side. Well, watching films is really educative. For, I've studied one other lesson too. Among the 12 Angry Men, most of them are really angry at themselves, being in this hellish status of life and may be the way they are compelled to live on. If its so, how can they value others life on which they are casting their vote. Love, correct, value ourselves first then to the other.. Isn't it the right path?

The Fighter (I) (2010)

Nothing is lost. A life is yet to live...

[7/10 · 28 September 2011]

Whatever be the genre of this film, I would rather tag it as an inspirational one. The storyline hasn't got much difference from the age old concepts. If it so, what will be the main reason to make it more captivating and thrilling. Well, the determination to a much wanted success & in a way they've approached it and reached there. This really makes us stunned I believe. In the climax I almost jumped out of my chair watching the boxing and thats the kind of spirit it sheds on us.

Christan Bale really rocks; amazingly great is his performance. Leo and Mark are also worth notable for their acting. Warmness of relationship is also well portrayed which should be appreciated well.

Finally, one should be a real fighter in life let it be any situation and any circumstances. Keep your spirit always up to conquer your aim. Realize, there is always a chance to win and a simple way to it thats hard work. work hard that all.

Letters to Juliet (2010)

Lovely is the film. Illogical was the theme...

[6/10 · 26 September 2011]

Scenic locations, enthralling storyline, besides ma interest to the romantic dramas all these made possible to grab ma complete attention into the film while i was watching it. It has got all the essential ingredients of a romantic film and which makes me to appreciate it as a good one indeed. I am really happy that the writer has tried to include a glimpse of Platonic Love into the plot which makes it something different from all other same old Hollywood romantic films. At a glance, its really adorable.

On the other hand, the story indirectly conveys the hard truth that most of the couples really live on pretending that they are the perfect match they can ever achieve in their lifetime. More clearly, if the grandma has found her true love after 50 years, its crystal clear that she had been living with a false love may be. If it is likewise, whats the value of the so called institution named family. Well, i am confused.

Boundin' (2003)

Limited words. Unlimited momentum!!

[7/10 · 25 September 2011]

First of all, I am entirely new to this section; Pixar Animation Films. This one will be the very first in ma list and much pleasure to say that I am impressed and will keep on watching Pixar Films. Well, more regarding the film:

I am in fact realizing now that "Small is beautiful" and its well presented in limited words & of course in limited time. Life is a well wrapped gift & a beautifully great one despite all its sorrows and blues. More Importantly, our vision is not so clear being in tears regarding our lose, disregarding all the blessings around. Open up our mind and start experiencing all the bits around and put it together for a complete life. For, all these are the very cream of life, you can't just avoid it.

Definitely, its not the best of all the Pixar films, instead i will tag it as an inspirational one which will keep your spirit up. Recommend all of u to watch it whenever u feel marooned amidst of your blues.

Traffic (2011)

A Paradigm Shift for Malayalam Films!!

[6/10 · 24 September 2011]

Perhaps, its a revolutionary change in Malayalam film industry. In fact, it was a thrilling experience to watch it. The direction is indeed done so eloquently to entice everyone completely into it. On the other hand, I ain't excited as like all other movie lovers because it reminded me much about the films the Vantage Point & 21 Grams. This doesn't mean that Traffic is exactly as like those films, perfectly not. Besides, the way of presentation is not entirely new instead, perhaps, its an inspiration from Hollywood films.

Happy to realize Malayalam film industry is really in a new path of change with a bunch of youngsters. Let the age old concepts be shattered and good work keep coming. Anyhow, well done guys. Keep your good works up.
