Lead character is a politician, who is never seen to have an organized thought process. To add to his problems, he considers his crush on leading lady to his love of the life and marries her. Now both are drunk all the time and somehow Maëva is dead. The moronic politician never gets a clue to what is happening around him. Even his fellow prisoners understand life better than him and those conversations are the only watchable thing in this movie. The director explains his rationale in a scene where politician's son tells him his problem but by that time you are so fed up with your decision of watching this movie that you are not interested in listening to him as well. Needless to say, you are going to curse director for wasting your time and the actors' talent. Worst was Maëva who had no dialogues and is used for nudity only.

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
(2006)
a masterpiece when it comes to relationships
16 April 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Hey you wonderful guys and girls out there, I guess, you are doing okay and so today I am back with a movie that I guess I can never forget in my lifetime, a movie that is a masterpiece when it comes to relationships, a movie that introduced me to the world of movies, a movie that made me realized that even movies can be too close to real life. I guess if you're familiar with Indian movies, you have definitely not skipped this movie.
Its story of 6 or 7 individuals who grow up in different circumstances and have totally different approaches towards life and whatever the way you call it are in wrong relationships and the movie depicts how circumstances make them meet and understand each other and prompts them to break the marriages they have been living for whole life.
Coming to technical points, acting is just better than average, don't expect even the greatest standards but still the story and events and the depth of relationships make it a kinda must watch movie. Songs are decent and again real life kind of and briefly it touches the issues of parenting as well.
Verdict: 4.5 Stars and Flashy Movie Badge. ( 1 star extra for personal connections to this movie).

My Mother, the Mermaid
(2004)
Two and a half stars. Not a flashy film.
16 April 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Hey you amazing guys there, Finally today I was able to complete this beautiful movie My Mother the Mermaid (2004) "Ineo gongju" (original title). I had an on and off relationship with this movie for more than 6 months, I guess. The plot of the movie kept my interest fueled for such a long time while I could never dedicate myself to watch it all in one go. So lets review it.
Though the movie starts with a beautiful Korean girl Na-young who works at a post-master just like her dad and lives with her dad and a very harsh and sometimes unbearable mother who does not consider her husband worth a penny. Na-young sympathizes with her dad and feel bad for the way her mother treats him and often comes to his rescue as well. She even leaves her very caring orphan boyfriend quoting she has never seen a happy moment between her parents and so she believes she can never marry and be a good wife or mother.
One day when Na-young's mother curses make her father leave home, she visits the home village of her mother and witnesses that her mother was a very innocent girl at her teenage when she met her father who was working as a postman in that village some 30 years ago. Finally in the end of the movie, its shown that despite of some abusive and non caring attitude, her mother still loved her father very much.
Thats all, Na young finally marries too and has a beautiful daughter. Through the entire way, we see many beautiful scenes of some Korean island, some nice dialogues, beautiful faces, nice acting but not what the director promised us to in the starting of the movie. No mention at all anywhere what lead her mother to be so brutal and why her father could not progress at all.
Finally if you just want to pass some nice time with some beautiful sceneries, acting and direction, go for this movie OR you can just relax and search for a more meaningful movie.
Verdict: Two and a half stars. Not a flashy film.

Fame
(2009)
a collage of the various things that we have already seen
6 April 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Verdict : Flashy Movie, 3 Stars
today after so many days, today I watched a movie (Fame (2009)) and I must say though this movie does not meet the original version of 1980 nor does bring any new contents or slapstick performances but kind of makes you glued to your seat until the students reach their junior year. Fame kind of reminds one of their undergraduate years and the fact that even a movie can be made about some interesting school years. Though this film never goes into any details and rather places a collage of the various things that we have already seen at various places and the only people this movie will perfectly fit to are the ones who have almost no knowledge of dance, acting or movies.
