A Visual Delight, but still have to disagree with RIDLEY SCOTT that EXODUS is his best movie. GLADIATOR was way ahead of this one!
Now imagine a movie directed by RIDLEY SCOTT, acted by Mr. Perfectionist - Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton (The Great Gastby and WARRIOR fame) and a canvas which paints the greatness of Egyptian empire. What else you need to see in a movie.
And if I go into the theatre that this one will be better than the previous Best of RIDLEY- GLADIATOR which was made 15 years back, then is it too much! I guess its no!
Well the movie is still a visual delight! However cant give this one more than 3.5.
The movie- as the trailers showed, is about the famous FARAOH- RAMSES and His brother - MOSES.
Both were raised together! They were like brothers. When Ramses became the king, Moses became his most true adviser. But when the identity of MOSES was finally revealed as his heritage was from HEBREW, RAMSES banished him to die in the deserts.
Gods as they say saved him to free - 4 lack hebrew slaves!
The sequence of transformation of a self confused to a determined Moses could have been better depicted.
The fight sequence no doubt will take your breath away and you will say- Wow!
Time for Some Critics Style Approach:
However the inter- personal relation shown of Moses and Ramses even after brilliance in delivery of dialogues - could have been better.
And the story of becoming God of Moses even though a very popular myth but the retelling could have been better!
But never the less. the scenes of 10 plagues attacking the king's city will make you wonder! The scenes will remain in your mind even after the movie.
The movie of 2.5 hours long will hold you to the seats!
Ridley Scott is still one the best in hollywood when it comes to showing history to the modern world.
Going with 3.5 stars!
End Line: Dont Miss it. And Some theaters have launched it in Hindi too!
MOVIE RATING: UNGLI RATING: 1.5 Stars (On Generous grounds)
HASMI is NIKHIL Again. Songs are OK again. And His Movie is MINDLESS AGAIN. The movie intentions may be as good as NGOs working models, but the STORY is terribly stupid!
The actors, and the way they were managed will make your stay uncomfortable even in most posh seats of multiplex.
Literally No Humour, Sad and Rotten Story, and stupid ideas.
The story is about 5 guys who challenge the system and try and change the society in their own way. Kangna who showed that she is one of the best actress post QUEEN, but here she has really shown how worse she can act if she is not controlled.
HASMI is in same mode as he was in his past 6 movies. Well, I am yet to figure out, what was the need of the ROLE of SANJAY DUTT. As Soon as I know, will let you know!
ONE WORD- DISAPPOINTING
DONT GO an dont even think of wasting money here- And I am Not Kidding!!!
MOVIE RATING: ZED PLUS RATING: 3.7/ 5 A Brilliant Movie!
"Pichwaade me laga TEER toh Yaad Aaye PEER!!!"
A Movie Plot, which will make you feel that the fresh fragrance of typical Indian Satire of Society and Politics can be converted on screen.
Where the Big Stars are more involved in making Stupid movies, Salman Khan - KICK, Hrithik Roshan- Bang Bang, Shah Rukh Khan - HNY, Aamir Khan - Dhoom 3, here's PINJAR's director- Dr. Dwivedi delivers a Humour punch for INDIA to see.
The story is about Aslam, a STUPID POOR INDIAN - The Common Man! PM, stressed with coalition govt. decides to visit Peer baba Dargah in Fatehpur! And suddenly the poor state of the small town changes over night! And in a Bizzare Miscommunication, ASLAM gets ZED Security.
And the story unfolds brilliantly! Will make you laugh over its brilliant dialogues, and super acting skills. Adil as ASLAM, Mona Singh as Aslam's Wife, Mukesh Tiwari as Habib- Aslam's neighbour, Sanjay Mishra, Kulbhushan Kharbanda as PM as just brilliant. NO Nonsense songs makes it even better, but yes background music could have been little better.
Life changes for Aslam as the political bug bites him and the transition of a common man to somewhat changed person is shown brilliantly on screen.
Must Go! You will have a fresh feel from Indian Cinema, that is so much about PUNJABI SONGS and PUBS and Embarrassing Stupid Songs with Strange Lyrics!
Going with 3.7 Stars out of FIVE.
Haider was Hard Hitting Political Story, this one is Humorous!
So many Characters and So many good ones but too many cooks SPOILT the Movie!!!
Jennifer Aniston looked better 10 years ago. Jamie Foxx has done much better than this in his previous flicks,
You can avoi this one, as you may laugh in some of the scenes, but not really a movie you want to see on Priority. Watch it if you have time, when it will come on HBO or Star Movies.
The storyline has nothing to do with BOSSES or OFFICE POLITICS, nor any story for that matter; its just about the LAWS of SEQUELS.
The 3 Actors, 3 Bosses, just too many to handle. I watch movies for fun, not really to scrutinize it, but with this flick- THE FUN was missing!
CANDID REVIEW STREET: Movie Review - Happy Ending
Saif - Sorry But TIME UP
The movie has just enough not to be called as boring!
Saif as a writer who has lost the MOJJO to write in all the Fame, Money Booze and Girls he got. Like his 10 movies of the past he is in the same character where he left- NO LOVE PLEASE- Just Girls and Love by accident. And of course, he changed girls like clothes!
The character has no change as was in Love aaj kal or Salaam Namaste or Hum Tum - Official or Cocktail Hindi Movie (2012 film)
And this time it wasnt even half interesting as it used to be.
SAIF is a writer in this movie and when he is broke, he got an opportunity to write the script for a HINDI SINGLE SCREEN SUPERSTAR- Govinda. His contract was taken by a new age love story writer Ileana D ' Cruz. Movie starts with extreme disappointment, however with Ranvir Shorey on screen it become a little more interesting.
The movie takes no turn and everything will happen exactly how you thought it would. The entry of Govinda saved the movie from being a super duper stupid romantic comedy.
The movie is full of one liners which are decent and will act as catalyst which will calm you mind an will make you feel, that movie still has something and may be there is a good happy ending! But Sorry- there isn't any!
Ileana D'Cruz is looking ok, but the bold writer kind of role, is not really suiting her too much though!
So, finally there's not much which you will take away apart from a few scattered forgettable smiles in the course of the 2 hours 15 minutes.
However there's an underline: how come most movies made are now about- DON'T GET MARRIED and KIDS OHH PLEASE NO!
What To Watch For:
- Nothing, but in case you see this flick, you will enjoy the dialogue delivery of GOVINDA and RAVIR SHOREY.
- PREITY ZINTA is indeed looking worn out and a mom of 3 kids as shown in the movie. All you "Dimple" fans, you can still go!
- SAIF's conscience is FAT and Sings - PAAJI YOU're SUCH A PUSSY CAT, has done well!
- And Yes You will see the beautiful CALIFORNIA in the movie
OOPS... i forgot, KALKI is there too, and in forgettable role as annoying girl friend of UD- saif!
Nothing else!
Going with 2.5 Stars. I went as i had to - You may choose to skip this one!
- Not Yours

Violent, Stylish, Old Fashioned Killing- All in a pacy Action Flick!
RATINGS: 3.5/5 Stars
Keenu Reaves the true action hero is back with a bang. Even though this movie can easily be described as Mindless Action Flick, however the sheer brilliance Keenu puts in his character makes the movie a good one to watch.
The Ex hitman, JOHN WICK is back to take revenge from someone who has taken it all from him. The movie's story is just too simple so, i wont go there and would love that you go and watch this one!
However, in all this madness of killing there's a method to make this one a little different from a lot of Action Movies like this one.
The Darkness in the character absolutely comes out as JOHN WICK goes out to seek his revenge. The action seems so very real and the fearless assassin will blow your mind. The Characters of the movie, The Mafia Don- Played by Michael Nyqvist pulls of a real good show too!
Keenu as John Wick is brilliant with his small one liners and his style while his guns are doing all the talking.
Hollywood hardly creates somethings which is GOOD but yet there is no Story in there, this one serves just right to all your action senses of brain!
Movie Review: Finding Fanny (If Possible - Watch in English) 3.5 /5 Stars
Its Not an ART Movie- Its a Fun Movie This movie is in a different league. It's not a art movie made on a subject which is so deep that 2 hours of the movie isn't too much to reach to the depth of it.
This movie is not like whisky its more like lemon juice.
5 Human beings, a dead cat and A old car
First things first- Amazing group of actors and everyone will surprise you with their natural acting skills. Deepika Padukone has not just looked beautiful, but has been great in acting too. Arjun Kapoor hasnt really impressed in any of his movies, to me, but this one thankfully he has matched everyone on screen.Naseeruddin ShahDimple KapadiaPankaj Kapoor are superb too.
The direction is as good as it gets as when there are just 5 characters and the story is of 3 days without action and songs, direction has to be good. Homi Adajania has really done a great job. The story is about Naseeruddin shah- Fredie who posted a love letter to his beloved 46 years ago and never got a replied. He never married anyone as he truly deeply loved Fanny.
One day- He got the letter back which he wrote. It implied, Fanny never got the letter. Deepika - Angie, was a friend if this postman and have never felt love. As his husband died on the same day of reception.
Angie decided that she will find Fanny for Fredie so that he can tell her how much he loved her. For this, she takes Help of Ajun kapoor - Savio. Savio was also her love interest before the marriage and has just returned to village.
Pankaj Kapoor, Don Pedro is an artist who makes paintings of women. He is an extreme pervert and has lost his heart to the curves of Angie's mother in law played by Dimple Kapadia.
The movie is so light that even with a very light appeal it takes the audience on the road trip. Even though the characters are tangled in each other's life but there is so much space in between for the chemistry of any two characters.
The movie will not hold you to the seat and will grip your mind, but the movie slowly holds your hand and walk, till the end. The movie has a calm message- Take a Step towards love, Life will find love for you!
The movie might be in the same category of Ishqiya and will surely make you smile!
