Miss Wisey Pants

Pink - Probably one of the most awaited movies of the year. Probably one of the most anxiety-inducing movies of the year too, for some. I, for one, was very scared to see this movie & went with a strong heart & a vow to myself that no matter what, I won't cry or be scared. But the movie hardly had any such moments. For those planning to carry extra napkins just to wipe off their tears (like my mom), just don't bother with it. There are a couple of scenes that do shock you, instil a sense of fear in you...but they'll pass in no time. Cutting straight to the chase... Amitabh Bachchan plays a lawyer who's old & has probably given up on his fight with the society for making things right (at least this is what it looked like). But he doesn't think twice when he finds an opportunity to make things right at least for the three girls around whom the story revolves. He's often inexplicably shown lost in his own thoughts, even during trials, perhaps b...

This title can be interpreted in many ways when describing the movie.  - It could be a question - should you really watch it?  - It could also be the director's way of expressing the irony that the viewers are going to find themselves in when they watch the movie.  - Or it could also be the ultimate example of the director's sarcasm.  Whatever it is, one thing is for sure that the movie makers did take the name seriously.  They make you watch Jai's (played by Sidharth ) future in different permutations & combinations so many times that you start wishing to see him die too. Perhaps I'm being too ruthless. Because honestly, when I stepped out of the theatre... I gave it an okay rating in my mind. Before going for the movie, I had already heard how bad the movie is. So, I went for it with no expectations. Since I had zero expectations, whatever I got didn't seem too bad. Just like life, eh? ;-) Coming to the actors now. When a mortal human...

Just yesterday, my heart was filled with happiness over having watched three brilliant plays. Then I decided to go watch the movie "Happy Bhag Jaayegi".  I'll be honest. I did not have high expectations from the movie. After seeing Diana Penty in Cocktail, I wasn't yet ready to give her another chance. But I still went for it...for the love of Jimmy Shergil. And I'm proud to say he didn't disappoint.  But. Yes, there's a but. In this 120-min long ordeal, there was only one scene which made me laugh. Credit goes to Jimmy Shergil. Apart from this scene where Abhay Deol & Piyush Mishra have come to fetch Guddu in the disguise of musicians & the comedy that ensued thereafter when Jimmy Shergil enters the scene, the rest of the movie falls flat in its face.  Before I forget, special mention should go to Piyush Mishra who's an amazingly brilliant actor! But he's only human. And humans are bound to make mistakes. This movie was on...
