Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns (2013)
Really a must watch classic thriller movie!!!
Didn't watch the 1st part, but picked this up based on some gud reviews online. And the movie was really well made, no big stars in the cast (Irfan is a star now, but one who still accepts characters that offer good scope for acting, hence getting his nod for Dhigmanshu dhulia wasn't a challenge i believe & also after Paan Singh Tomar's success), all the stars chosen based on their acting skills and their ability to do gud movies.
No lag anywhere, right from beginning to end, there are many twists & turns which kept me riveted to my seat.
Jimmy Sherfill does well as the king who still is still trying to control things in his area, along with his trusted body guard 'kannayya' who also does a gud job.
Of course Irfan Khan rocks, his dialogue delivery is stunning, also thanks to the writers. Same with Jimmy Shergill, his punches owe their credit to the writers again.
Raj Babbar also does a gud job.
I highly recommend this movie to everybody if you want to watch a gud movie with a wonderful cast, gud writing and thrilling at the same time.
Nightcrawler (2014)
Just an amazing & thrilling movie
Its a must watch... Just an amazing thrilling ride with a thief-turned Amateur News Rep (-turned News Agency CEO)........
He is ruthless.... shares no sympathy with the crimes that he witnesses (Live or after it happened)......
But in spite of all these qualities/character, he rises higher & higher.....
Lou starts out as a thief looking for part time job and doesn't get one and then he comes across a amateur news reporter who visits crime scenes & videographes them & sells the videos to the news agencies, this strikes him as a wonderful opportunity to make money & he too tries the same.
It is really amazing in the beginning, how he tries to record a video with a simple camcorder which doesn't have any of the features possessed by a professional agent's cam.
But eventually he marches ahead by selling this video for 150 USD to begin with and also hires a partner to aid him with directions & to capture additional footage.
He strikes gold when he arrives at a crime scene even before it is reported to the police & in fact the criminals are just leaving the scene when he enters it.
He manages to capture everything & gets a deal of 15000 USD for it.
From here on he gives his agency a name (NHP) and starts doing the professional way.
I recommend this to anybody waiting to a thriller.......!!
Carousel (1956)
Not like 'Sound of Music' (or) 'Oklahoma'
In the process of exploring the great works of Rodgers & Hammerstein, I came across this musical, again, one of their earlier works remade into a Hollywood movie.
But it was a complete disappointment- Both the plot as well as the music. Although I didn't expect the plot to be very interesting since it was made such a long time ago, when slow movies had audience, I expected the music to compensate for the sloppy plot, but unfortunately, the music was also a letdown. Except a couple of songs, others didn't register well with me.
I will try to revisit the music sometime later, and find out if it is more appealing on multiple listens.
Oklahoma! (1955)
My Review - without any spoilers
I came across this movie recommendation as I was looking for works by the duo, Rodgers & Hammerstein after seeing their greatest work 'the sound of music' so many times.
True to my expectations, the music throughout this musical drama was fantastic.
On first listen itself most of the songs registered in my mind.
Though I guess no movie or work of theirs can ever make a impact like 'The Sound of Music' did, still it is worth spending couple of hours watching this musical.
Not much to say about the plot that's there... not very strong, none of the characters really registered in my mind from start to end, but having said that, it never really bothered me that the plot or characterizations were too simple or too scope-less, because the frequently occurring songs just compensated for the same.
I highly recommend this musical to all those who enjoy the works of Rodgers & Hammerstein.
My rating is just for the music only.
March 1st: UPDATE -
Just revisited this movie for just listening to the songs again & boy, did I enjoy!! It was just mind blowing......... amazing music & lyrics. Great performance by the lead actors to act & sing along. Now along with 'Sound of Music' I have one more musical which I revisit whenever I want to listen to some wonderful music.
