I slowed down the number of movies I usually watch over the weekends. May be wanted a break. Here are the list of movies, I watched over the past weekend and the one before that.
Wedding crashers (English): It was a good movie. The story was about two guys, who crash weddings so that they can get laid with the women. It was funny. The climax was very good. The guy mentions that he crashed a death too and it all jelled well. I liked it.
Dollar dreams (Telugu/Indian): An excellent movie. I didnt watch it all these days thinking it might be like a documentary but its not. The movie has the needed proportions of comedy, drama, etc everything. I liked it a lot. I could relate to every scene of the movie. I watched it twice. There was a bit of unrealistic element in the form of one character but that was ok with me. Overall its a very good movie. I watched the scenes, I liked, more than twice.
this past weekend, I can say, I dedicated it to Nagesh Kukunoor - Indian film writer, producer and director. I havent watched any of his films till last week because I was assuming they are all art films and I cant bear them but to my utter surprise, I was wrong. The movies were all good, I should say the later were brilliant and I could connect with all of them. I started to admire this guy and his work.
Iqbal (Hindi/Indian): Awesome movie. Its about a deaf and dumb guy aspiring to be a national level cricket player. I didnt feel bored or disconnected atleast a single moment, which I earlier thought I would. The catalyst is the boy having an interest in learning the game. The big event takes place when he is accepted by a cricket coaching academy. The mid point is when the boy is thrown out of academy. The crisis is when the boy doesnt get selected for national level but gets a chance to play for Ranji trophy. The climax is when the boy has to decide if he has to do his best at Ranji or accept the check given by the antagonist and quit the game. The resolution is the boy plays well, gets money from the sponsoring company and thats it. It ends well. The boy realizes his dream. A wonderful movie with a good background score. All the actors did a wonderful job.
Dor (Hindi/Indian): Brilliant movie. Same pre-notion of mine went with this one too but I proved to be wrong again. Its a very authentic, novel story executed in a superb way. Its very simple story. Its all about one woman, going in search of other to save her husband. Nothing artificial, complex, hi-fi, blowing some buildings or mafia or ...etc. Its just subtle human emotions. The characterization of both the women have been done perfectly. Both of them have equal screen space. The comic aspect is provided in the form of the guy who comes to help the protagonist. I was moved. Its a brave attempt at a different concept and it was done greatly.
Hyderabad Blues (Telugu/Indian): Its a time pass flick. Its more of a comedy type film. Its about a guy who comes from USA after 12 years and who cannot accept all the previous aspects of the culture. He finds his own way of taking the good from both the cultures. Its funny.
thats it for now...
