The Avengers - Kick Ass movie


Captain America: Stark, We need a plan of attack!
Tony Stark: I have a plan: Attack!






The Avengers. It's what they call themselves. Sorta like a team. Earth's Mightiest Heroes type thing. Let's do a head count here. Thor, the demigod. Captian America ,a super soldier, living legend who kinda lives up to the legend. Hulk, a man with breathtaking anger management issues. Black Widow, the super hot chic and SHIELD Agent , Master Assasin Hawk Eye. And finally the genius,billionaire, playboy and philanthropist called Iron Man.

Then we have Loki, Thor's brother, the evil mastermind who manages to piss every single of the Super Heroes.

There's a lot of things we need to be grateful to America. The Avengers definitely tops the list. With groundwork on introduction of the Superheroes already done in Marvel's earlier movies, Joss Wheldon takes movie watching to a different level. You would eagerly be waiting for your Superheroes to enter the scene.


A kick ass movie with a very basic plot. And its exactly what it needs to be. This movie is about how the team comes together to save Earth and kick the shit out of Loki and his alien army. 

The cynical Stark's (Robert Downey Jr)best lines alongwith Captain America's (Steve Rogers) idealism alongwith Thor (Chris Hemworth) lighting up the sky will blow your mind. But the most fascinating part was to watch the svelte and curvy figure of Black Widow (Scarlett Johannsen) in some of the best fight scenes in 3D. But the best "Yeah" moment is delivered by Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). And to watch Robin Scherbatsky(Cobie Smulders) as a SHIELD agent in body hugging clothing in 3D, believe you me its worth your money.

If you are the kind who enjoys the great pleasures of life delivered by movies, Avengers is definitely for you. Laughter, excitement, desire, awe and entertainment....all in one.


Suit up and watch the half dozen Superheroes kick ass.

Vicky Donor - The Creative Sperm

Remember that all men are millionaires at least by their sperm count, the funniest thing is even these millions are spent for a girl.

I have wasted many millions. I could have created a China by now. How many millions have you wasted?

Vicky Donor stands apart from the nonsensical Bollywood movies. A great feat achieved by Shoojit Sircar with pure creativity and being sensitive to the issue discussed.


A bold step taken by Ayushman to debut in a movie which is backed only by the strengths of the story. he does more than justice to his role as Vicky Arora the sperm donor. Ever dependable Annu kapoor as the Doctor running Infertile clinic delivers some of the best lines and has a great sense of comic timing. Vicky's love interest is the bong Banker Ashima (Yami Gautam....believe you me she should be called Yummy Gautam).


Shoojit deals the subject with great care and throws in a right amount of comedy to keep you glued to the seats. Vicky's grandmother has some of the best lines delivered which will make you ROFL. The punjabi and bengali family meet to discuss Vicky and Ashima's marriage is one of the best scenes among many.


Music is catchy. Fast Punjabi music and the slow romantic track mix well with the storyline.
 
John Abraham maybe the worst actor sperm Bollywood has got, but has produced one of the best movies in the history of Bollywood. maybe he should reconsider his role in Bollywood.

Go ahead and have a blast at the movies.

And to all wasting your millions, go to the clinic, watch free porn...and then....udhar shoot karne ka and store karne ka




Housefull - 2

"I dont need a script. I know what the audience wants."
                                                                        - Sajid Khan
I used to adore Sajid Khan as a host of Ikke pe Ikka on Zee where he used to ridicule every other director in Bollywood who had been copying shamelessly from Hollywood and South Indian movies. (Mind you both Farah and Sajid were yet to debut as directors then)

Ikke pe Ikka as a show has closed and come 2007, he shamelessly copies from Three men and a baby and calls it Heyy Babyy. 2010, he continues to be shameless and copies Kadhala Kadhala and calls it Housefull.



2012, Sajid Khan has completed his course in Shamelessness with distinction. Banda Paramashivam is now called Housefull 2 by Nadiadwala and Sajid Khan.

2 step brothers and their wives, four childhood friends and their four girlfriends, Jagga Daaku alias JD, a marriage broker, an ex- police inspector and Anarkali, all in one palatial house in London and force-fed comedy in every scene.
No matter how silly the jokes are, laugher is guaranteed by Akshay and Johnny Lever with some great comic timing. Akshay's imitating Mithunda each time he says "Jai Bhadrakali" will surely tickle your funny bone. Akshay as Ranjit's son and Ranjit as Dr.Ranjit Vasana K Pujari (The..rapist) offer some freshness to the movie. John, Ritesh, Shreyas, Rishi, Randhir and Boman are just puppets in the hands of the director with the most silliest of the storyline.

Music by Sajid-Wajid is young and catchy. Anarkali, Do you know and Right Now are a definite hit among DJs across the discotheques.

All the sexy female characters would undoubtedly be the front runners for best skin show. Our own sexy Munni is now Anarkali and I donot mind getting badnaam with her in the disco. Asin and Jaqueline put fire on screen grinding their ass against their boy friends in the song Right Now. Zarine Khan ...The Babushka is nominated for best bosom thumping award. I couldnot take my eyes off Shahzahn in two piece in the song Do u know.

Sajid proves once again that he know exactly what the audience wants. Nonsensical storyline, lots of silly gags and some great skin show by sexy chics.

Go on, say "Jai Bhadrakali" and ogle at the sexy chics in the movie among the dirty dozen. A guaranteed stressbuster and worth watch atleast once.

Paan Singh Tomar - Flawless Performance

"The marathon is a charismatic event. It has everything. It has drama. It has competition. It has camaraderie. It has heroism. Every jogger can't dream of being an Olympic champion, but he can dream of finishing a marathon." - Fred Lebow

Cut the damned wind, bring rythm to the breathing, sharp pain run through the legs, every stride reminds of the distance to be covered, and the passion pushing you towards the finish line and then it happened, I finished my first ever International Mararthon in 2004 followed by six more later.


Am I lucky? or am I Lucky? Both the passions of my life offered together at the same time and it was an awesome threesome session for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Me, Marathon and Movies.





Even flawless has flaw in it, but not Irrfan Khan's performance as Paan Singh Tomar, A farmer turned an Indian Army soldier turned seven times National champion in steeplechase turned notorious dacoit. Irrfan is perfect as an Indian Army soldier, long distance athlete and as the dreaded dacoit. The transformation from an athlete (who created records and broke his own records in Indian and International Games) to a dacoit in rusty look just blows your mind. His expressions are priceless as his eyes does most of the acting. You will not be able to take your eyes off him as Irrfan gets into the character.



Some of the scenes leave a lasting impression. One of the best scenes is when Irrfan does a steeplechase alongwith horses. And the movement of his fingers everytime he runs reminding that the athlete is still alive in him.


Irrfan has raised the bar to an all time high. Will Farhan Akhtar be able to meet the standards as Milkha Singh is a thing to watch out for. Tigmanshu Dhulia and Irrfan complement each other with the Director narrating the story with great control and the talented genius portraying the various shades of the unsung Indian sports hero. Mahie Gill as Irrfan's wife does justice to her role. Exquisite narration of the story with a neat blend of drama, humour and tragedy has also earned a place and praises for the movie in British Film Institute London Film Festival.

The regional dialect with some of the superb lines fit the rusty look of the Chambal valley.. Watch Irrfan deliver these lines with great comfort.At the end of the movie you will be left wanting more from this talented genius. Wish we get to see more from this gifted actor.


Abhi bina waqat barbaad kiye, Paan Singh Tomar dekhne chalo, kaho hau

Midnight in Paris - Makes your day

Il n’y a que deux endroits au monde où l’on puisse vivre heureux:  chez soi et à Paris.
(There are only two places in the world where we can live happy:  at home and in Paris.)
                                                                                         -  Ernest Hemingway


The 76 year old magician is back with his most successful commercial movie of his career. Woody Allen is a treasure in the world of movies. He is an accomplished Actor, Director, Screenwriter, Comedian, Musician, and Playwright (how many do you know who is all of these?)

Owen Wilson as Gil is a Hollywood screenwriter who comes on a trip to Paris with his gorgeous fiancee Inez (Rachel McAdams) and her parents. While strolling alone in the city, an antique vehicle rolls up and its occupants urge him to join them. He travels back in time with them to a party where he encounters F Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and Cole Porter – and falls in love with Pablo Picasso's mistress Adriana (Marion Cotillard). As he moves back and forth in time, the comic timing of Woody Allen's sophisticated witty storyline is fun to watch.




The grandeur of Paris, accomplished artists of the yore are captured with finesse. Woody Allen handles the story with great control to find a logical end to the fantasy in this Rom-Com. A well deserved Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.


Watch the talented Woody Allen narrate a light hearted Oscar nominated romcom Midnight in Paris which will make your day.

Hugo - Magic of movies

For the love of movies, Hugo is a tribute to the makers of early cinema and for their pure creativity. 


Martin Scorsese moving away from his usual gangster flicks creates magic on screen with a simple story of a kid (Hugo) who lives in Paris raliway station winding all the clocks at the station. Hugo has to repair a remarkable automation and a next level to cinema special effects in post world war 1 era with the help of its creator Ben Kingsley


If you thought Martin Scorsese can only do magic on screen with gangster flicks, think again. If you have patience to watch a movie for 2 hours you are in for a visual treat with an extravaganza of colours and special effects in 3D. Watch it for the love of movies and you will know why they won 5 Oscars this year in technical category.

Moneyball - Statistics aint everything

En Vazhi Thani Vazhi
                         - SUPERSTAR Rajni


Leaders tread the unwalken while, followers follow the beaten path. The cut throat business of the national game of America called Baseball, where players are sold and bought at the wink of eye between teams (I see this happeing in IPL very soon). 
In Moneyball, Brad Pitt plays Billy Beane, 44 year old general manager of the underfunded Oakland Athletics team(also called A's). Jonah Hill, an economist from Yale(who has never played baseball), comes with an idea of creating a team of individuals who have a proven track as per his STATISTICAL ANALYSIS but other teams think otherwise about these players. Watching the movie was more like a deja vu with my superboss, an American return, and his crazy idea of increasing business only by statistical methods and manual intervention a clear no-no .....God bless America for this crazy idea and God save my company.....

The players are bought at cheap rates and they go on to win a straight 20 games creating an American League record with their uncenventional team and method of buying the team. But in the end remember that they never won the final game (Just what I fear whats gonna happen to my company and will be more than happy if proven wrong)


Watch Brad Pitt in his Oscar nominated role and Jonah Hill do justice to their roles in this biographical sports drama.
