Rang De Basanti (2006)
great movie!!
When i go to see an Aamir Khan movie i know i wont come back dejected but this movie exceeded all my expectations. The movie is about a British girl who comes to India to make a movie on Bhagat Singh and his counterparts and she meets a group of youngsters who come across as a bunch of fun loving and irresponsible guys. How the making of the movie changes their lives is the story of the movie. The very honest portrayal of the mindset of the present generation-its dilemmas, apprehensions,ambitions,lifestyle and every other aspect of their lives has been beautifully and sensibly carried out...kudos to the director Rakesh Omprakash Mehra(of Aks fame). The ending of the movie is mind blowing. Aamir Khan as DJ is awesome but it is the supporting cast which is surprisingly refreshing. Kunal Kapoor(as Aslam)is good looking and has a very sensitive character to portray. Sharman Joshi(as Sukhi)has lots of gray areas in his character. Soha Ali Khan (as Sonia)and Madhavan (as Ajay) are convincing and have done ample justice to their roles but the real surprise packets are Sidharth(as Karan) and Alice Patten(as Sue) who carry the movie forward with different shades of emotions in their roles. All in all a must see for everybody irrespective of the generation they belong to.......its not a generation but a nation which awakens.
Jo Bole So Nihaal (2005)
what was that?
it had been a long time since i had a headache watching a movie but i presume we should torture ourselves once in a while with such pathetic movies to appreciate the well-made ones.... the movie is about a simple constable of Punjab,nihaal singh(sunny deol) who is too sweet and innocent to be believed. the villain is played by kamaal khan by the name of romeo who is an international hit-man who kills a priest after doing an act of terrorism(i thought the character was supposed to be smart).romeo comes to apna Punjab on a mission and when nihaal singh tries to arrest him(for not having a revolver license) he fools him and escapes crossing the border effortlessly(wow!!!romeo should be given full points for fooling the security of both sides of the border).nihaal is suspended on account of helping the terrorist.as nihaal singh is the only one who has seen romeo , his services are asked for by none other than the FBI but apna nihaal wants to take romeo back to India and with the help of a female(Indian) FBI agent who is more interested in shedding her clothes than doing her duty, manages to do that. the movie is a drag and the scenes where nihaal's mom keeps on falling down every time nihaal bumps into the female FBI agent is plainly stupid and unexplainable. at the end of the day the movie does'not make sense and the humor is anything but funny.sunny deol should take a break and reconsider how he wants to take his career ahead. kamaal khan is promising in certain scenes. the woman in the movie provide the required glamor and flesh. simply a very avoidable movie.
