Baba (2002)
Great movie
It's an amazing movie for those that understand the deeper concepts within the movie about spirituality and the layman desires. Songs, action sequence is just included as a distraction. At the core of the film, it is great as it talks about the real struggles between man and the divine.
It is not a masala entertainer but actually a movie that make people think deeply. Highly recommend for people who think and reflect. Goundamani's comedy is amazing and Rajini kanth as Baba is superb. Since it is the actor's story, screenplay one can see a very honest portrayal. This movie is not for the average movie goer but it is still a great movie.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)
Over-Hyped Movie
The only thing great about the movie is Zoya Aktar's direction. The story and screenplay transition smoothly, locales shot in is great, but it's just the same old, OMG make time for yourself, stop running after money. The real struggles about everyday people could have been highlighted. Instead, there is an extremely good looking, rich guy (Hrithik) struggling to be in relationships because he is so career-driven and miserable. Goofy friend with daddy issues (Farhan Aktar) who also writes poems secretly and another guy who keeps the group together but breaks up with the woman he is about to marry because she thought he was proposing her when he showed her the ring he bought for his home (I mean, come on!) He could have manned up and just told her that but no, they needed an entire trip to Italy and Spain and what-not to realize that.
Just read one of Brain Weiss or Louise Hay book than watch this boring movie about life's lessons.
