Pink

Wow..... Just wow...
Each review about this movie is justified. This movie is an A plus on every level. The agony of the rich and powerful being blatant in their abuse of the law; the sheer bias that exists against independent women; and even  the utter chauvinism that women are subjected to.. Leave all this aside. All this is cause for loads of debate. So just leave all that aside. See this movie purely for it's cinematic value.

The storyline is pure and never strays from it's path. The supporting cast is terrific. Vinod Nagpal where were you? We have missed you.

A few faces from Piku are there as well.

The direction is spectacular...
No other word comes to mind. This a movie of international calibre and I hope it gets it's due.

All the 3 girls shine in their roles. They are perfect. There are a few missteps from Taapsee Pannu, but that's just me being a nitpicker. The girl who plays Falak is a brilliant actor.

Also the actor playing the vile friend gives off evil vibes and you just want to slap him. So good acting...

Angad Singh Bedi, a complete non-actor inspires so much disgust and loathing that it is only after several hours that I am realising what a good job he did. I don't know if he will ever get another meaty role like this, but he is superb in this role. It is commendable that he is able to hold his own whilst facing off against an actor of Mr. Bachchan's calibre. 

I was so upset about Wazir and Teen that I had almost given up on seeing Mr. Bachchan in a good movie. Well this is redemption and how! 

Rapier sharp dialogue ; total domination of each scene and that amazing baritone... Ahhhhhh.... He is the best and he has just given us the movie of the year. 

His performance captures the essence of the movie and I am glad that we still get see him in movies like this that do home justice. 

See this one...

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...

Good things come in threes!

 For me, good things come in threes………. And yet again, three things that made my week and will for certain go on to make my weekend. A web series – The Ba***ds of Bollywood. This is such a fun ride. I must start with the mockery that is made of the entire Sameer Wankhede incident. They found an actor who closely resembles the real-life officer; it is hilarious. It is just good fun, and should be taken in that spirit, forget the cries of nepotism; I know of generations who practice the same profession repeatedly, so let us give this one a rest, shall we? It has all the ingredients of a bhel puri, and they are used well. So do not watch this one expecting caviar. We have seen Raghav Juyal and Lakshya Lalwani slug it out in Kill and show very good chemistry, so also in this one. One brilliant scene is the one in which the protagonist scares the heebie-jeebies out of a critic, who is totally modeled on Rajeev Masand. Too much fun! And such swagger! And ah Bobby Deol, the phoenix – what...
