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.

movie review : The Mechanic.

Cast : Jason Statham, Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland, Mini Aden.




Director: Simon West



Why cant Statham do a film wherein he only has to fix cars. His obsession with machines & being a serial killer cracking skulls is way too repetitive now.




The Mechanic is lyk any other hit man movies wherein the lead dodges away bullets, kills people with no expression f guilt on his face, blows up cars & walks away like a cool cat.




A porn-like sex scene between Jason & Mini gives this film an "A" certificate. But, that's a given. Fast cars, bullets, sex all go together.




Keeping aside all the repetitiveness & criticism, if I'd make a action flick neday, I wouldn't do it without Statham as my main lead. He looks like he could kill a few people, innit?





P.S. it's a popcorn action film which would give you what you'd go expecting.

movie review : Patiala House.

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Anushka Sharma, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Hard Kaur, Tinu Anand, Prem Chopra



Director : Nikhil Advani
Do not watch.


There are way too many characters in the film. Rishi Kapoor acts loud. You'll yawn when Akshay comes on the screen. The racism against the Indian's in UK is over-rated. The only saving grace is the lady, Anushka Sharma., she brings lyf in the film.



P.S. An emotional boring drama in the back-drop f cricket.
