2012 Fourth Quarter Reviews (October to Dec)


1. Choddon kal ki baatein – 3.5 Star. 

  • A copy of an English movie (ground hog day). But still well copied I guess. A guy stuck in one day over and over again. 

2. Kya Super cool hain hum – 0 Star. 

  • I don’t think I completed it. It was horrible. Tushar and Riteish over act. It is a pure sex comedy, every dialogue is double meaning. We don’t get enough sex comedies in hindi so if you want to watch for that purpose. Go ahead. I don’t find anything funny about it. 

3. Jism 2 – 2.0 Star. 

  • Sunny leone doesn’t know how to act. Our favorite Randeep Hooda is wasted. Tried to make a passionate movie but didn’t happen. Bad.

4. Bol Bachchan  - 3.5 Star. 

  • It has some funny moments. It is a copy of golmaal. But it has some original good scenes. Film drags but it is a good watch if you want to watch a completely silly movie. Don’t compare it to golmaal though.

5. Mere Dost Picture abhi baaki hai – 1.0 Star. 

  • Poor movie suneil shetty and everyone else are trying to be funny. But really nothing is funny, not even bad funny. Though I will have to admit I never comepleted the movie. 

6. Gangs of wasseypur II – 3.5 Star. 

  • Somehow this one is better than the first part. It is probably one of the most gruesome hindi movie you have watched. Somehow the story is easy to fall and you root for the guy. Also Nawazuddin siddique (the kahaani police officer) is awesome, he is one find of this year. Look out for ‘definite’ this guy is awesome. The scene where siddique asks for what is real name of definite is awesome. 

7. Bumboo – 1 star. 

  • Wasted great talents like sharat saxena. Generally good in comedy but this one is just poorly made movie. 

8. Shirin Farhad ki to nikal padi – 4 Star. 

  • Though we are not fan of farah khan and boman irani. But still this was a well made cute movie. It is good one to watch an older couple love story. 

9. Heroine – 0 Star. 

  • Madhur bhandarkar has made this movie almost like 2 times now. It was a poor copy of fashion. Every cliché associated with movie industry is in it and they depict it as if it should come as a shock to us (in the same manner as page 3). Drugs, money for sex, gays all over ( in a negative way), women are not on phone without a naked guy lying with them… it is just bad direction. Basically there was no reason to make this movie. Kareena acts as if saying – look at me, I am acting so well I will get an Oscar. 

10. Oh My God – 4.5 Star. 

  • An anti religion movie which basically point by point state the negatives of organized religion in an entertaining way. It almost threatened to become a monologue or documentary but it doesn’t. In subtle ways it also talks about Geeta teachings and spirituality Vs religion. 

11. Kamaal dhamaal maalamaal – 2.0 star. 

  • I am still watching it. But it shows no promise. It is a sequel of maalamaal. 

12. Rush – 3.0 Star. 

  • We are emraan hashmi fans and he has set high standards. According to his standards this was a disappointment. Same plot like all his movies, guy with good heart stuck in bad situation. But the soul is missing in this movie.

13. English Vinglish – 5.0 Star. 

  • Everyone is good in the movie. The French actor, sridevi everyone. Even the bachchan cameo is great. Typical Indian mom and her struggle to get some respect within her own house. Very well made movie, nobody over acts, no melodrama, no one is the bad guy. Even the husband is a loving husband in his own right. The American neice is awesome and just gives the right amount of spunk to the role. Americans are normal people Indian people are fallible, this film avoids all hindi movie pitfalls and is just a great watch. I had a lump in my throat all through the movie. Sridevi caps it all with 2 perfect lines which explain the underlying philosophy. Watch it. 

14. Talaash – 4.5 Star. 

  • Sapna watched it in theater. I still need to catch up on it. She liked it a lot, it had intrigue but also had drama and ‘drama’ is a must for sapna. So don’t look  for an out and out thriller just sit back and enjoy is the recommendation.
