Are you an Angelina Jolie fan? If yes, then this movie is for you. The movie has great stunts, chase & fight sequences. The twist is a real surprise. Being a thriller, it really makes you stay glued to your seats and lets you to guess what comes next?

If compared with “Wanted”, I feel that movie was the best in terms of Angelina Jolie doing stunts.

My rating: 3.5/5
My verdict: One time watch!

Peepli [Live], A sensitive topic of Farmers suicide is handled in this movie but with the touch of comedy. How the media & politicians try to gain mileage over Natha’s suicide decision, is shown in this movie. While watching, even you will want to know about what does Natha do finally. This movie really makes you laugh & think at the same time. You know you are laughing instantly on the comedy, dialogues in the movie but at the same time deep within it makes you feel sad and think about the issue.

The casting as Aamir Khan himself said is very simple and suits to the characters. Omkar Das who plays the character of Natha has acted brilliantly and natural. The other characters also have played their role very well.

The ending is marvelous.

The story telling by Anusha Rizvi is simple yet superb. Being her first Directorial debut, she has really done her homework neat and execution is good.

My verdict: Don’t miss it!

I must admit that I am a gadget freak/ lover/ enthusiast. And shall I say I am proud of being one or shall I say what a disaster? Being proud, because its good to be techno savy & gadgets do make our life easy. But why disaster? Because the gadgets always comes with a heavy complimentary price tag. Oh God! Now I realize thus how much I will have to earn!

It all started in college. Staying in the company of friends, seniors who are techno savy. During college days I use to hover the magazines, newspapers to collect the photographs of the gadgets. I also had made a gadget book by the photo cuttings that time. The mobile phone revolution had just started that time but the calls rate were too high. I use to collect the cash gifts which I use to get on my birthdays & functions. Thanks to elders & specially grandparents who use to gift even though when there was no occasion to celebrate.

I collected all the funds & brought my first ever mobile phone which was a compass box or rather be a remote control like. If I recollect, it was Philips. Second hand but still. My dad had just got a mobile phone from his company. I hardly used my mobile phone. But was happy.

As days pass by, the call rates started to drop. And then my journey began. Frankly & honestly speaking I really can’t recollect how many mobile phones I actually brought & used but Mahesh Telecom would be able to know from their second copy of invoices. Till date I run to them for my mobile phone needs. Seriously mobile phones always is a win for me.

When I go to shopping like say clothes or so, I always get attracted to the mobile shops. My parents now don’t interfere in my gadget love as they know I have gone MAD. I do keep a track of new launches of the gadgets and do make a note of it in my notepad so I can at least dream about it & watch the videos on YouTube till I be the proud owner of them.

There are many gadgets I have in my list which also gives me a realization & the urge to earn more, but in good & decent matter. I guess this qualifies me for being a gadget freak/ lover/ enthusiast & YES, am proud of it, except for some people they think I have lost my mind.

I guess it started since childhood. My parents say that I use to watch “Tom & Jerry” cartoon whole day on VCP player. Mom says, once I was under house arrest due to Chickenpox & I use to insist them to play the songs from the old movie “Hero” & use to force to rewind the songs of it again & again along with TV should be ON. Not anything specific but something movement must be on the TV. As grew older, I use to enjoy watching movie “Mr. India” again & again. In every vacation I use to go to my cousin sister’s place to stay & we use to watch movies in the theater. The movie I enjoyed watching was “Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar” & “Jurassic Parl 1″ with her.

When I was in final year of Applied Arts course, that time my addiction of watching movies really went on high. Along with my friend, every Friday we use to see which movies are released & accordingly either by bunking that day we use to hit to theater or Saturday being holiday, we use to meet at a decided time & watch a movie. Later the tradition went like that we use to select theater to watch movies which has McDonalds near it. So after every movie, we use to feast on the Meal & then head hack home. Also sometimes we use to meet at the Imax, Wadala to watch a movie & walk till Sion to kill the time as our favorite restaurant & bar use to open by 7.30 PM & we use to have beer followed by dinner & back home.

Once when we were at Imax, Wadala, we came to know that MAMI Film Festival will be held there as main venue & they are offering discounted Delegate Passes for College Students. So we bought the passes & every day for the whole week we use to be there from 10 AM to 7 PM to watch some great international cinema. I know during the film festival we saw almost 22 movies in one week. I really respect watching movies in film festivals as we get to watch movies peacefully without any interruptions from mobile phones, whispers the audience makes. Because if anyone interrupts, the audience starts warning.

These days also when I go to my favorite movie theater PVR, I go to see ONLY movie & nothing add-on extra like many people go to watch a movie because of feasting in intervals. Yes but if we are in company of friends, family then sure the add-on combos have to be accepted. Also we see many couples just go to movie theater, not to watch a movie but to have a intimate sessions & they specially book the tickets like Last row corner seats or any row corner seats. I specially name those seats as “Couples Retreat Seats”. So whenever I go to watch a movie, I pick the center seat as I don’t like to get disturbed with their sessions or whatever it can be termed as.

Earlier parents use to ask me every week that which movie am gonna watch or so but nowadays they don’t even ask as they have realized that I will be found in theater itself on weekends, unless that busy. So watching a movie on TV or in theater is a treat for me always. Yeah but the common taunt comes every week. They ask if PVR is providing accommodation services to me as then my traveling time will also get saved.

INCEPTION, what can I say about this movie? If I have to describe it in just one word then that would be “Masterpiece”. Its crisp screenplay, direction, plot and the way it has been implemented is remarkable. The only thing is that some people may find it confusing if not watched with dedication.

If you watch this movie with full dedication, you will enjoy every bit of it. So if you are going to watch this movie with friends, girlfriend or boyfriend, husband or wife then better tell them not to disturb. Because if you get distracted, you are going to miss the journey.

Leonardo DiCaprio steals it all but other cast also have done their task very well.
