Nishabd!

I heard lot of people tell that they didnt like this movie because the movie was unrealistic. They could not digest the fact that a 60 year old fell in love with a 18 year old.

So wat that this sort of thing is taboo in society, i found the movie to be good.
It does not have the usual masala stuff and it would make people feel sad. Definetely it wont go well with the masses. But i would say the movie was above average. Beautiful cinamatography and direction.
The scene where Amitabh is in fits of laughter is very well done.
'jiya jaale jaan jaale, naino taale...' - After listening Amitabh sing this i just cant associate him with 'Rozana'.

Anyone going to watch this movie, dont go with a roadblock in the mind that a 60 yr old cant fall in love for a 18 yr old. :)

Blood Diamond!

The movie is about the illegal smuggling of diamond out of Africa and it revolves around the main characters as they try to get possession of a priceless diamond.

Things I liked about the movie –
Awesome direction.
DiCaprio has acted well; this is the first time I have liked him.
I enjoyed the romance, love etc. between DiCaprio and Jennifer Connelly.
An Indian in the movie, Gaurav Chopra has a 2 minute role.

And the dialogue of the movie for me was –
An African boy saying – “I am Subodh* and I am the ‘Master of Disaster’” :)

* I have changed the name for my sake ;)

I would give it 4.5/5

I got it wrong!

My prediction of Barca winning the Champions League went wrong :(

And now i hope that the other prediction which i made of SA winning the cricket world cup also go wrong and may India win the cup :)

Mozhi!

Language... thats wat 'mozhi' means in Tamil! and the movie is about the language of music and the language of silence!

It was the first Tamil movie i watched in theatre and was impressed by it. The movie was predictable but was pacy.
I expected the 2nd half to become sentimental... that did happen but not to the extent i had expected.
Although i would say the music was a let down for me (i didnt understand much of lyrics, i had to judge the music based on the beats :) ). Let down because the main characters in the movie are musicians.
I also learnt some sign language from the movie. ;)

I would give it 3.5/5
