Sorry Bhai! (2008)
Brilliant acting, great sense of humour: A must watch
The title kinda gives it away, but this movie is about Aliyah engaged to Harsh(Sanjay Suri), the elder son of Gayatri and Navin (Shabana Azmi and Boman Irani). Aliyah wants to get to know her in law's. Ma, Papa and younger bro Siddhart(Sharman Joshi) start spending time with each other. Ma is typical mom in law, questioning Aliyah about anything and everything, Pa tries to pull down the pressure with his humor, and Siddhart wants to be friends with Aliyah. Somewhere in between Siddhart and Aliyah start falling for each other. Will Harsh understand? Will Ma and Pa understand ?
Beautiful story, with great characters, you can actually picture every mom as Shabana and every dad as Boman. Great chemistry between all five actors, one can connect with every character and sympathize. This film will not disappoint, leaves you hanging and wondering until the very end. Excellent humor, absolutely brilliant acting by all 5 actors, the ending is very touching, and very very sweet !!
Heroes (2008)
"You don't have to be a soldier to love your country"
"Kabhi kabhi ek chota sa kadam, zindagi bhar ka rah ban jata hai." The journey from Delhi to Punjab to Himachal Pradesh, and finally Leh was it for Saand and Nawab Saab. Students of a film academy,Saand and Nawabsaab, have to submit a documentary for their graduation, the topic in jest was decided "Why not to join the Indian Army", but becomes more serious each day. The two guys meet a war journalist who hands them three last letters of soldiers who died in service, Saand and Nawabsaab take it upon themselves to deliver these three letters in hand, and record the experience. Each letter brings with itself a realization of how family and friends of a soldier are affected.
The first letter tells the story of a brave Punjabi soldier Balkaar Singh(Salman Khan), who leaves behind his parents, widow and child. Yet his every decision made his family and friends proud of him.
The second letter tells the story of two brothers(Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol), one in Air Force, one in Army, and how bravery and courage runs in their blood, how they are more than happy to dedicated their life and more to their country.
The third letter takes them to a young man Saahil (Dino Morea), who comes from a family of doctors, but joins the Army in spite of disapproval from his father.
The movie is very pleasant and says there's more to patriotism than war, bullets and politics. The reason the movie works, is because it tells a normal story with a funny bone and gives out subtle messages of patriotism.
In their own small way, Nawabsaab and Saand change the lives of the family of three great soldiers. They have made completed documentary, but does this journey end there? Will Nawaabsaab and Saand make their country proud ? Yes, they will. The ending is very touching.
Koi Aap Sa: But Lovers Have to Be Friends (2005)
Good for a lazy afternoon.
This is a story about Simran and her best friend-Rohan. Everyone in college thinks they love each other, but Rohan has his heart set on the pretty Preeti. And Simran is already engaged to be married to Vicky. Its just a normal college flick which takes a major turn. The girl can't do anything about it. So when no one, not even her fiancé or her parents stand by her, her bestfriend - Rohan is there for her. They start falling for each other. At this point the fiancé comes back in her life, and realises his mistake. Now Simran has to make a choice. Between her happiness and the right thing. I would recommend this movie for a lazy afternoon. Although it isn't the best movie you'll find in the recent times, its worth a watch. This is just another version of the clichéd 'Love vs Friendship' dramas. Still, the actors are sincere. The relationship between the character has a streak of innocence to it. Its all about doing the right thing.
Dor (2006)
Amazing movie.
Dor takes off with a shy young Meera(Ayesha Takia) in Rajasthan biding goodbye to her husband, Shankar, who is going overseas to work in parallel to the recently married,fiercely independent Zeenat(Gul Panag) parting from her husband -Aamir, who live in Himachal Pradesh, who's also going overseas for work. Life continues for them both. One day Meera finds out her husband has died. And by this not only does Meera lose her respect, but also her independence and love. At the same time, Zeenat gets a call that Aamir has been accused of murdering his roommate in UAE. And he is to be executed in 2 months. The only way to save Aamir is to get the deceased's wife's signature on an apology letter(mafinama). Zeenat then sets out to find Shankar's widow in Rajasthan only with a picture of Shankar. She arrives in Rajasthan and meets a Behrupiya(Shreyas Talpade) who after an initial spat decides to help Zeenat. When Zeenat finds Shankar's house, she talks to Shankars parents who throw her out. She still believes that once she talks to Meera, she'll be able to get her to sign the document. Finally she meets Meera at the local temple. But Zeenat is unable to tell Meera the real reason why she's there. They soon becomes thick friends, and Zeenat helps Meera to become more independent in her thoughts. She teaches Meera that it isn't wrong to feel happy. Will Zeenat be able to tell Meera her real problem? Will Meera agree to sign it? I believe the casting has been done amazingly. Both the girls fit in their roles with ease. Shreyas is amazing as the comical behroopiya. Its not the greatest entertainer, but its a simple drama. Watch this movie for its simplicity and sincerity.
Ishq Vishk (2003)
Good movie.
Cool movie. If you have nothing to do, watch this movie. This movie will neither make you laugh, nor will it make you cry. But you'll be smiling throughout the movie. This college romance flick is good for a lazy afternoon. Amrita Rao looks pretty and fits in perfectly in her character. Shahid Kapoor needs to watch his steps, all through the movie he tries to imitate ShahRukh Khan. Shahid, be yourself! Your way too good to be impersonating someone else. Shenaz needs to press down the attitude, you're just a newbie babe. Don't act like you've conquered Bollywood. You still have a long way to go. And yeah, What's with the weird accent?? And lastly, this review would be incomplete without mentioning Vishal who has done a wonderful job as a faithful Rambo! Also Satish Shah and Neelima Azim (whos Shahids real-life mom too) have done a great a job.
