movie review: Kuch Love Jaisa.

Cast:Rahul Bose, Shefali Chhaya, Neetu Chandra, Sumeet Raghavan.



Director:Barnali Ray Shukla

The title sounded silly to me but since it had Rahul Bose & Shefali Chhaya in it, I thought it would'nt be. I was so wrong.




Beginning:
Shefali & Sumeet play husband & wife in the film. Rahul is a wanted gangster although it is never shown what crimes he did actually commit or may be they showed, I must have dozed off by then. Sumeet is shown as bored with Shefali after 4yrs f marriage & 2 children, work is wife n all bull crap. Shefali gets pissed on the 29th Feb, which happens to be her birthday & Sumeet forgets to wish her. To avenge this she heads out to a mall, shops, dolls up, buys a new red car, goes to a coffee shop, smokes, chats up with a stranger [Rahul Bose] & leaves to spend the day with him. Rahul says he's a detective or something & Shefali believes it & goes around chasing any guy in a yellow tight t-shirt. How dumb!




In-between:
I dozed off.





End:
When I got up, some 20Min's were remaining. There was Shefali's birthday celebration party. Next scene in the washroom, Shefali is asking her school-goin daughter whether she's in love or not & whether did she have sex, yet. Damn, mother's ask these kinda stuff?



The films starts off well. Appears promising but loses control after the 30Min's & drifts someplace else. And Rahul, dude the bhai-language rilly dosent suit you.



To the director - You should not waste a talent lyk Rahul Bose & Shefali Chhaya.



P.S. Silly.

movie review: Happy ThankYouMorePlease.

Cast:Malin Akerman, Josh Radnor, Kate Mara, Zoe Kazan, Pablo Schreiber, Tony Hale



Director:Josh Radnor



The title "Happy ThankYouMorePlease" is a lil annoying but the film isn't. You might actually want more when the film reaches its end.




The film is about a 20-something writer, Radnor who lives a bachelor life & meets a lil black boy, Rasheen who is seperated from his family since six years on a subway while going for work. Radnor adopts Rasheen illegally. Malin Akerman, plays Radnor's hairless (due to a condition) friend. Kate Mara plays Radnor's love interest. Kate is an aspiring singer & waitress. Tony Hale plays Malin's over-friendly friend at workplace.




A beautiful man-child relationship is shown between Radnor. Radnor tries several times to give away the child to police or the child-service but the boy refuses to leave him. Eventually the boy blends into his lyf. Whilst leaving with him Radnor discovers that the Rasheen has immense talent with a pencil & a paper & so, encourages him.




The title is well explained by Malin in a scene with Tony where she states that she usually says "more please" with a "thank-you" cuz thanking somebody is done when something good has happened with you & she'd lyk more such opportunities.




A brilliant cast to go with a good story.





Moral f the story: Adulthood is not about waiting for the right answers to get the life you want, but simply stumbling ahead and figuring them out in the process.
