Simple and real ''Taryanche Bet''...

Watched a Marathi movie after months. Was it worth the wait?
Yes absolutely, it was worth all the wait. ''Taryanche bet'' is a simple and real story. It is a very very well made movie. It is Balaji's first venture in Marathi cinema business and must say it was an excellent choice of story to start off. Sachin Khedekar is brilliant in his role as always child artist Ishan Tambe is the real surprise package. I remember watching him on Zee Marathi's daily soap ''Shubhamkaroti''. Rest of the other supporting cast is equally good. Kiran Yadnyopavi's direction is worth mentioning and so is Saurabh Bhave's story. The best thing about this movie is that it is very real and thus all of us can relate to some or the other incident. The music should have been better, especially to attract larger group of audiences. There are no miracles, no mishaps and no larger than life circumstances. There are lots of light moments and some moments emotional enough to make you think if not cry.

All in all ''Taryanche bet'' is a must watch for all those who cherish Marathi cinema. It sure will take you to the memory lane and will leave you with nostalgia. 

Adorable infidelity?

I could have never imagined putting the two words next to each other ever, not even in my wildest dream. Yes, I am doing the unthinkable and this is the effect of the movie, ‘My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend’.

Oya’s recommendation, frankly I wasn’t very sure. This was the third attempt to watch it and I wasn’t quite sure if I’ll watch it over ten minutes, just like my previous two attempts.  I had no expectations at all since Family guy, TLOTR-trilogy, Schindler’s list had failed to keep me engaged.  OnH’s demise had no immediate effects but slowly the whole thing started messing with my head. I was consciously making efforts to keep my mind off it but the damage was already done in my subconscious.

I sense pain in my words and I don’t want to be sorry so getting back to ‘My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend’ which kinda saved the day for me. It pulled me out of the depression that I slowly was sinking in. The movie doesn’t pick up for the first 15 minutes. It ain’t funny but it’s adorable. Love the way Alyssa Milano makes her infidelity justified so convincingly that one actually feels her shoes. Christopher Gorham is cute and so is Tom Lenk.  Michael Landes is the ideal man, every girl’s dream. It surely will break any girl’s heart while breaking off with any one of them!

Sex And The City 1 n 2 Rocks!!!

This was a bit brighter weekend because of two reasons a) employment b) Sex and the city!!!

The boon of bazooka fast internet I laid my hands on the movie SATC and it's sequel. It was something, tht was required from a very long time. Meagar knowledge about the movies helped me enjoy them more coz I haven't read the book or any reviews, I never followed the television series, I had just heard couple of people mention it but like ages ago. Normally I have expectations before I make myself comfortable on the couch for a flick, unlike today where I just wanted to go for it at my own risk!

Was the risk worth taking? Well, yes completely I enjoyed the film totally. I was completely into the movie with the characters and I just loved Carry, Samantha, Charollette and Miranda. I had lost connections from the world, though I would be twice my age when I actually feel like them but I completely loved  them. SATC 1 was so much fun that I couldn'y resist myself from watching SATC 2 as well. This SATC movie marathon has really hit me bad and has compelled me to create this post as just finished watching two fun filled, F**king crazy movies. Something that began like a bed time story to end an exhaustive weekend at Sunday 11pm has kept me up till 4 am on Monday!!! Eventually it was all worth it, SATC really made my weekend special :)

IHLS...Just another addition to the never ending love saga!

IHLS... another addition to Bollywood's never ending and ever green love saga. It's definately a one time watch. There are alot of not so cool things about this film but the coolest thing is that this movie has honesty in the screenplay and script. No villains have taken over the silver screen even in the most suseptible situations. After Wake up Sid this is another story where you see today's generation both youngesters and their parents ditto as it is in reality.

Slight over acting and not so humourous moments in this movie don't make it one of the best bollywood flicks of our time. I doubt if any future version will make spoof of IHLS. If we talk of the visuals then it's an eye candy though slightly on the brighter side but really good job done on that front. As all of us know that music aint great and contributes meagerly to the visuals. Being a huge K Jo fan and follower I wonder if K Jo is such an annoying boss as portrayed by Samir Soni, my bigger doubt will he keep such a distacted assistant? I guess no it was yet another sweet dream cutely concieved by a young director.

I hate rating movies with stars or numbers, after watching IHLS this morning I wasn't dissappointed but I wasn't amazed too! so it's definately a one time watch but if you don't catch it in nearest cinema hall then you won't miss much in life. If you love romance, you have followed all Yash Raj and Dharma Production movies, you are either Imran or Sonam fan OR you are simply a movie buff like me then this flick is waiting for you in nearest cinema hall :)
