Q1 Review 2014 - Shahid vs Nothing.

1. Sooper se Oopar - 1.5 Star

Old formula - new guy who stays in city goes to look for his grand parent for his own selfish needs and obviously falls in love with his roots. Nothing special.

2. Satya 2 - 2.5 Star.

It was very bad, but not because it was a bad movie, but because it is dated. Same underworld formula of all other under world movies. I have been bored of these, so I switched it off in between. New guy in the gang rises to great heights because of his new ways. But then he gets in trouble.

3. Gori Tere Pyaar Mein - 1.0 Star.

There are some movies that tell you the entire story in the trailer. This is one of them. Whatever sorry story it had was already known from the commercials. Kareena can sleep walk through any role, because she has to do the same thing and make the same faces. And Mr Imran Khan is King of non actors. Great cast and a great insipid script. But .. if you are looking for no surprises love story then probably it is not so bad.

4. Krishh 3 - 4.0 Stars.

Did not see this one. Sapna went to see this one in theater and surprisingly liked it. Even Savi liked it. It was the best big budget movie last year - when compared to Jai Ho, Dhoom 3 and Chennai Express.

5. Shahid - 5 Star.

Easily the best movie of the quarter. Everything is good about this one. Superb depiction on minority mentality and problems. Supposedly a true story of a person who helped lot of people to fight terrorism charges on them. this is a must watch for anyone who does not get it, what minorities go through. Also the family relations are pure joy to watch. i felt a lump and the movie kept me awake for long. Don't get me wrong this is not out and out depressing movie just life as it is.

6. R..Rajkumar - 5 Stars for songs and 0 stars as a movie

Easily the best songs in a decade, purely for personal reasons. I will never forget these songs, we bonded with Ashvik listening to them. The music is throwback Laxmikant Pyarelal kinds. Saree ke fall sa .... gandi baat... chor hu mein lucha hu mein, had se bada tucha hun mein... beautiful lyrics. Movie?? dont even go there. I don't know what was going on. just lot of fight which does not appeal. Bad Vs Good guy and let’s fight.

7. Bullet Raja - 3.0 Stars.

The movie has 'Jimmy Shergill' so it cant be bad. (Bansore rule) Till Jimmy is in the movie it is a sholay. he is awesome... oh yea.. main lead is someone called Saif. He looks like a joker with his over the top getup. Easily one of his worst jobs. the dialogues are fun in parts. jahan na jaaye rail gadi wahan jaye bail gadi.. jahan na jay bail gadi wahan pahunche marwadi. Typical north indian gundagardi movie.

8. Singh Saab the Great - 2.5 Stars.

Sunny papa ji disappoints with this one. He has lot of dialogues but all in all the movie just does not gel. I generally get a lot of laugh out of his movies in this one there were not many outrageous scenes I guess. But one thing is clear he knows how to pack a punch, I saw this movie after R...Rajkumar and shahid is half his size and just will never look like Sunny papaji no matter how many cars you blow up in an action scene.

9. Ram-Leela - 4.0 Stars.

I have not yet finished watching this one. but the start of this movie was so different and awesome, that I am pretty sure this is a good movie. If you want to watch a different movie go for it.

10. Yaariyan - 0 Stars

Forget it. Just forget it.

11. Jackpot - 0 Stars.

This was one big stupidity going on and on and on. It makes no sense. Some jackpot money has to be won and people are fighting about it. Just.. forget it. I don't want to spoil my mood.

12. Jai Ho - 2.5 stars

Another Salman movie another south indian remake... it was just whatever. Don't say thank you just help people was the message. But Salman only knows one way to help - break bones. He has started looking old and his action has gotten out of control like garam dharam at one point of time when he started coming in movies like - paap ko jala ke raakh kar dunga. everytime sallu comes on screen he does something physics defying like kicks a truck and truck starts running.. and stuff like this happens all through the movie.

13. One by Two - 0 stars

Normally a safe bet - abhay deol lays an egg. That is why I give this one a 0. At least an abhay movie should be good and decent. it is a typical abhay movie with him being a regular guy working in a normal job with his family trying to get him married. maybe it was a decent movie, but Ashvik makes us so tired that we sometimes just can’t concentrate.
