Shankarabharanam

Please do not miss it. Watch it. I dont care if you dont understand telugu. I dont care if there are no subtitles. I don't care what excuse you give, just go watch it. It stands a clear shoulder above the random crap being served to us these days by spineless directors and packaged fare. And the music is divine even to a retard like me.

This is one movie which could easily have hit "the indian movie melodrama" target circle right in the bull's eye, but has been handled with so much finesse that it comes across as sensitive, passionate and great art. The lead actors Somayajulu and Manju Bhargavi are superlative in their depictions of the characters.

Ek Chalis Ki Last Local

Definitely watchable compared to the other stale stuff that our movie industry is churning out. Of course it grates to accept that this is all it takes to stand out in a mediocre industry, but you see, Karan Johar has successfully driven Indian movie standards to such extend that even this seems way too good.

Cons: Too many whacky characters.

Seher

A pretty good movie. I was bored and started watching it and it was pretty good. I thought i might as well list all watchable (according to me :-)) movies for posterity. Now that these are pretty rare occurances.

Arshad Warsi plays a straight serious role. Mahima Choudhury is sufficiently good looking and the characters not ridiculous. Go ahead. Watch it. You wont curse me.

Sunny Winter


The start of the trudge from home to this spot is always dreary. Because I assume I know what to expect. And every day I am surprised.
