Movie Review on Imtiaz Ali's "TAMASHA"



Awesome movie!!! Will be loved by those who don't love bollywood typical movies.

'Tamasha' is an irregular love story with great drama, as well. As it was said it's daringly different and leaves a solid mark. The way Imtiaz Ali presents the story in the form of musical narrative and the manner in which lead protagonists, Ranbir and Deepika mark their presence is truly commendable. I was engrossed by the world of "Tamasha".

My favourite still from the movie. 

'Tamasha' showcases undeniable talents of Ranbir and Deepika. Ranbir kapoor was brilliant in his act. He displays all the emotions, without missing a single beat. This is his best and undoubtfully an award-worthy performance in years. Deepika supports Ranbir wonderfully. She acted brilliantly as always. And an onscreen chemistry between the two, is simply wow! Imtiaz's direction and screenplay is top notch. Despite of few shaky moments, writing picks up tremendously. Cinematography is extraordinary. And, all the locations are captured brilliantly. Editing is finely done, although the first hour could have been tighter. A.R Rehman's score is wonderful, and you'll definetely fall in love with the soundtrack if you have not already.
An another awesome still from the movie. 

'Tamasha' has shaky beginning and  intial 20 minutes are awkward. Also the narrative is non-linear & not all will be able to adapt and absorb  the preceedings properly. It will test your patience oftenly. But, once you get attached with the story and its characters, you will find yourself in the movie and you'll definetly gonna love every bit of it. You might get few clichès, and there are few complex scenes in this movie, but on a different note there are many scenes and sequences which might stay with you for a long time.

Well, I'am not very shocked seeing negetive or mixed reviews on such an extravagent cinema, as it mostly happens with many such movies nowadays.

On the whole, 'Tamasha' is about finding yourself. It's about making your dream your life. I'll give it 7/10 after considering some public's and critic's opinions, but if asked personally I'll undoubtly rate it 9/10, as it's a heavy film, but a deeply affecting one. Strongly recommended.
"Fenka naya paasa
Phir de gayi jhansa
Aivein mujhe phansa
Teri aisi ki ho taisi zindagi" ;)
(This still makes me remember this amazing phrase from the most amazing song of this film "Matarghasti")

Movie Review on Sam Mendes's "SPECTRE"



"SPECTRE"- A thrilling bond spectacle. Spectacular, but occasionally flawed.

Casino Royale and Skyfall are my two favourite Bond movies. Following the magnificent Skyfall, Spectre had some huge expectations to fill, and for the most part, it delivers exactly what you'd want. It has every element that a bond fan will love to see in the movie. It's almost a classic for the bond series. Lacks of a strong storyline and plot was not as twisted as it should be. And the movie was somewhat predictable.

Spectre solves the mysteries of the previous Bond movies in a good-way and it establishes Daniel Craig  forever as a completely different Bond. Bond girl Léa Seydoux did really well. Romantic chemistry between Mr. Bond and and Ms. Swan is quite intresting. Casting in the movie is at its best. Christopher Waltz and Dave Bautista are the two most perfect actors to play villians ever. Director Sam Mendes did a wonderful job again after Skyfall. The film was long but pacing was good. It's always changing places from one stunning location to another.
Star cast of the movie. 

Spectre is not a masterpiece many people seem to have expected but there is lot to enjoy here. It's a solid film with insane action sequences, fantastic cast, enjoyable humor, great set-pieces, breathtaking cars and incredible locations. It's less boring as compared to previous Bond movies. You will definetely enjoy the movie and all its action sequences.
An action still from the movie. 

According to me, Spectre was not perfect. But it surpasses skyfall in some terms but failed to match the class of Casino Royale. I'd rate it 8 stars out of 10. Spectre was just another chapter in the immense story of everbody's favourite spy 'Bond'- "James Bond".
