Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

For the brats who live in a world of 140 characters.... Ek Baar dekh lo yaar..

 

For the more discerning ones with ample patience... Read on..

First of all lemme just say that if possible leave kids at home or else be prepared for some awkward questions. Particularly when scenes hit first base. If you know what I mean. Wink! Wink! 😃 

There is off the charts chemistry between Ranbir and Anushka and they too good together. They are helped by hilarious dialogues and the super comic touch of Lisa Haydon. We need to see more of this lady. 

Anushka is fabulous. I have never seen her look so good. She is the Lady in Red... 

Ranbir proves yet again what a fine actor he is. 

The locales are exotic and time just sped away till the interval. Which had me wondering why it was that the critics were being so harsh. 

Ahhhhhh then came Ms. Bachchan and I understood. After that its all downhill and nothing can save this movie. This, dear parents is also when things awkwardly touch 2nd base..  :-)  :-) 

Come on KJo... 

Is the only angst you know that of father and son? 

Where is the intensity  the first half... The droll wit, the tongue in cheek humor? 

SIgggghhh.... 

Well I guess everyone has forgotten how to make love stories. 

I am shattered. This movie had so much potential and the second half just sucked. 

Soooooooo bad.... 

But the first half is wow! 

Specially for the Ranbir and Anushka fans.

This movie could be a reflection of the times we live in or then maybe not... 

But that's a thought for another day. 

So till then Happy Diwali..

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...
