The Salman Magic

Ek Tha Tiger is essentially a romance masquerading as an action flick. Oh the charm of Salman is unmatched! I have never seen him look or perform better.
He made my heart skip quite a few beats.:-)
He was there in practically every frame of the movie and boy he was so cool. The film is well crafted too. I loved the way there were mini flashbacks telling us about his life.Nice touch Aditya and Kabir , very smart. Not too many dialogues, but whatever were there were again very smart.Fabulous locales for the romance to take root and flourish.
And the romance was certainly more palpable than in Mausam-the recent one.
I am longing to see it again very soon.
This is specially written coz everyone said that i didn't write how the movie was!
Watch it!
P.S: The music could certainly have been better. Specially as it was coming on the heels of Cocktail ..
Hmmm ...maybe they should have let Salman have more of a say in the music. I am sure it would then have been better.
Enjoy the watching if you haven't already.
Ciao.
Stay safe.

Thappad

Thappad The prelude to the aria that is Thappad, is a dizzying runabout of a homemaker's humdrum daily chores. It serves to establish the roles each character has established for themselves. The husband played by newbie, Pavail Gulati is wonderfully self-obsessed and completely oblivious to anything but his own needs. The wife played by Tapsee Pannu ( as if we didn't know! Ha ha!) is on the other end of the spectrum. She is hyper aware of the needs of all those around her and revels in being needed and being able to be of service. The nuances that are written into the script are sheer brilliance. Consider the opening montage introducing the main characters to us. The wife being driven about, the girlfriend being received with love and finally a super successful lawyer finding freedom in hanging out a car window. The conversation that ensues between all of them, sketches skillfully the back stories of the lot of them. The movie is far from being a chest beating comment...

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...
