Runtime - 2 hrs
Starring - Dev Patel, Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan & Freida Pinto
Music by - A.R.Rahman
Written by - Simon Beaufoy
Directed by - Danny Boyle & Loveleen Tandan.
One of the best films of 2008, Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of Jamal, a young man from the slums of Mumbai who appears on the game show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' & exceeds all expectations, arousing the suspicions of the game show host, played superbly by Anil Kapoor & of law enforcement officials.
This is Danny Boyle's one of the best, if not his best, direction. The performance he brought out from the cast is really impressive. The technical execution is even better. Be it the editing, cinematography, the raw style or the locations.. this film scores in all. This definitely is among the year's top 5 films & many times better than any Bollywood film released in 2008.
The cast is almost perfect. Every cast has done justice to his/her characters. Dev Patel impresses as Jamal. Anil Kapoor as the host of the game show was amazing. Irrfan Khan was as consistent as ever. But, the real show stealers here are the performances of the younger casts. Touching, Gripping, Realistic, Innocent... few words to describe their performance.
The great A.R.Rahman gives yet another great n classic soundtrack tht perfectly accompanies the action on screen. Perfectly suiting the film's theme, this is one of Rahman's best work. Loved the 'Jai Ho' song... the instrumental music in tht song is too good. He might have given better music in Indian films (acc to many) but this is 1 film tht is providing him all the honors n recognition around the world tht he so truly deserves, much more than any other Indian. The world will now see more of Rahman n will discover tht he is no less than the great John Williams, Howard Shore or Hans Zimmer.
Wasn't expecting much from this film, but it turned out to be good,... Really Good .
Rating - 8/10
This is the first time Manchu Manoj scored his biggest hit in the industry. Some of his previous films like Nenu meku Telusa and Prayanam are only commercial hits. Now this film is super hit. Bindass is the first film for director Veeru Potla
Director framed the characters well. Debut heroine Sheena performance pretty weak but managed well. And taking and screenplay is good. Comedy is the main theme of this movie. It is a family entertainer. Music is okay. And songs picturization is also good.
Main Characters are Ahuti Prasad and Jayaprakash Reddy. Main theme is to get the MP seat. So they fight each other. Movie has faction, comedy very well. First half of the movie is very good and second half is little weak than first half.
The movie starts with fight in the college. Fights are good. This movie has biggest single shot fight scene. He managed well in the fights
Movie is family entertainer. Every one should watch the movie
Rating : 3.5/5
Runtime - 1 hr 53 min
Starring - Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss & Joe Pantoliano
Written by - Christopher Nolan
Directed by - Christopher Nolan.
The most intelligent, the most innovative & the most original brain teaser of all time tht will have you guessing from the very beginning to the very end n even afterwards... thts what Memento is ... its no less than a jigsaw puzzle. The groundbreaking narrative style & impressive dramatic undertones makes this film an instant classic.
Memento is a psychological thriller starring Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a man who lost his short term memory in an assault and, despite his handicap, is looking for the person who, according to him, killed his wife n made him like this.
Director Christopher Nolan deserves kudos for presenting the film in such a unique way which was never-seen-before in cinema history. Nolan puts his viewers into the shoes of Leonard Shelby & runs the story in reverse order so that you never know more than Leonard does. Just like Leonard, you've no knowledge of what happened before.
The performance by the cast is impressive. The character of Leonard Shelby is very very well played by Guy Pearce. Carrie-Anne Moss n Joe Pantoliano give an equally mysterious n complex performances as Natalie n Teddy respectively. The direction is class apart. The editing is terrific n groundbreaking. Christopher Nolan is really an extremely talended film-maker & a much better storyteller (Following, Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight proves it) & is simply the best director we have at present.
Classic, innovative, complex, exciting n entertaining movie of a lifetime... thts Memento for you. It will leave its own memento on your mind, & you'll have a hard time forgetting how much you enjoyed it while solving this puzzle on your own.
GET READY FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE TRIP INTO THE MIND OF A MAN WITH NO MEMORY.
