AK vs AK (2020)
The Best Movie I Have Ever Seen
This movie has just blasted my mind. It was amazing to watch Kashyap and gang trying out this unique concept. It was meta and surreal. I would go as far as saying that this is probably the best movie I have ever seen. Right up there with all the greats. I wouldn't be wholly surprised if this movie gets received in Cannes, etc. Brilliant Work. Kudos to the team.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero (2005)
The real Subhash 10/10. The movie subhash 5/10
To start off with I am the most ardent supporter of subhash chandra bose. I feel that if he had not died he would have definitely been the first prime minister off India. This movie is no way even close to what Subhash ever was. He was the only person to beat Gandhi in an election!! He had a blazing fire within him and this sense of desire to lead the Indians to Independence that just can not be matched by any other Indian. The Subhash in this movie is always nicely smiling and has no charisma off his own, well we don't expect it to match SCB's actual charisma, but the whole calm appeal shown is exactly opposite to what Subhash actually was. Plus there is no detail shown of Subhash's intelligence, which is in abundance, like 4th in ICS, his diplomatic and persuasive abilities to get the Bose-Tojo pact. He was the ideal person to be but after seeing this movie you will wonder where this lump of a figure would ever do anything, yes that is how he is portrayed in the movie. The special effects are the worst ever seen in Indian or any other movie. The only reason I am giving the score 5 is because it does contain historical facts. It is the only movie to ever cover the great hero, which is a real pity for Indian cinema. If you want to watch the movie. Watch it for the facts, not for what Subhash actually was.
Inception (2010)
It doesn't get better than this.
To start off with, i have always been a Nolan fan but never really put him above Kuberick, Kurosava and thought he just about tied with Scorsese and Tarantino. Obviously his success rate is undoubtedly much higher than any director, so naturally I went in with high expectations. I have seen and adored every past movie of Nolan but this was different. Inception is a movie that scales off from all other movies. It has such a depth in it's plot, such intense direction and such amazing cinematography that you just don't want to take your eyes off the screen. It is understandable though, it has gone over the head off many people(including many famous critics) who have seen this and they are wondering what the whole hype is about. Inception is a movie that if understood to it's full extent will never be forgotten, ever and if you do not understand the movie fully, you will despise it as you will feel the story is haphazard. On the contrary it is very intelligently and carefully plotted and is way above any movie ever made. After the movie has ended you are left there shell shocked and wondering. Thats what and excellent movie can do leave layers of thoughts even after the movie is over. The movie was like poetry, you really need to understand and search for it's essence and when you find it you will be left wondering from where this abyss of thoughts came by. This movie Nolan has truly outdone himself and has made his mark in history as one of the greatest movie makers ever. The only tragedy remains that not everyone could grasp the exquisiteness.
PS: This year has been provided with so many excellent movies that you can't really judge this movie by the Oscars it wins, however having seen all the others, I really feel it should win the best picture as it is a notch above the social network, black swan, etc etc.
Domino (2005)
You get what you want
The movie screams two words from the start and that is Keira Knightley. She is smoking hot in this movie and evidently they planned to offset on that. It is a high pack action movie but the story is a little weak and at times a little preposterous. Apart from that if you are going to see action and more importantly if you are going to watch a slick hot character, this movie is the one you want to watch. Mickey Rourke also played his part well and brings about a certain coolness through his dialog. There are a few funny scenes but not enough to really bring it under the comedy genre.
Story:5/10. Acting:7/10. Action:8/10. Keira Knightley: 9/10 :P . Overall: 7/10.
