The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
It's pure madness, and it gets better every second
To be honest, I never thought that this movie was based on a real life story... The true obsession with money, the life style involved with it, the messed up state of mind... I mean there was no dull moment... To create an organism full of insanity and then give life to it... Well that's my take on the movie and believe that is the way of Scorsese...
DiCaprio seemed at his best throughout the movie... The not so perfect conman, with his ego and drug issues...So he has a vision and goes on to fulfill it and does whatever it takes to do so... But the dark side is portrayed so beautifully as could have been done only by Scorsese...I think DiCaprio has a Oscar in his bag this year... Also the pick of the actors for me was Jonah Hill who played Donnie Azoff, co-founder of the con but wilder than DiCaprio... He seemed like a complete madman with drugs and the way he lived it... The movie has so many layers to offer and there are no dull moments...
All I can say is that this movie is full of sex, drugs, money, power, madness, success and more success, more than you can handle and how these people handle it... So if you would like to lose yourself for 3 hours... Just go for it and I bet that you won't regret a single moment or "Penny" you spent on it...
Dedh Ishqiya (2014)
A joy ride with a lot of twists and outstanding acting
I have always been a great fan of how Vishal Bharadwaj can make dark comedy with such ease and beauty. After watching Kaminey, Omkara and Ishqiya, I went to the theater with great expectations and I was not at all disappointed, rather amazed and more than satisfied... The dialogues and the delivery are fantastic and not just that, The movie takes on some very subtle issues like ego, love, misconceptions, personality ethic and a lot more and that too with sense of humor that is subtle yet so powerful that every line that the actors say have some deep meaning in them... Naseer sahab has always been one of my favorites and praising his acting would mean critiquing a monalisa, however the pick of the actors for me were Arshad Warsi with his bhopali humor, Madhuri Dixit beautiful yet so powerful and of course Vijay Raj ,the villain, who although has a big ego fails to earn the respects he yearns for so much.... All in all it is a 9* experience according to me, with the drawback that there are no famous songs, as in ishqiya, which i so much expected from Vishal bharadwaj... Its intelligent cinema, with a mix of humor and darkness... It tries to rip of the character behind the faces that we tend to wear... I think this is one installment of bollywood this year that would be hard to beat... You should take a walk into the dark humorous world of dedh ishqiya..
