My Perspective

I love watching 'Finding Nemo'.! It has the right mix of comedy, thriller and emotions. It is a riot every time Dora forgets nemo's name. Or even to see the carefree attitude of the 150 year old tortoise parenting his kid.. However, it does leave you in tears towards the end - the time when Marlin leaves Dora or when you just thought Nemo died rescuing 'Aunt Dora'. I like the message it conveys about relationships, in a very subtle yet

I love to watch Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind" time and again. Every time, it inspires me to strive harder for my 'original idea'. To see a man of such caliber struggle to make himself count, makes me wonder "We have everything right in our lives, yet what have we accomplished with it?".

It has been quite a while since we spoke movies. Now here I am giving my recommendation. Lucia - a movie made in the south Indian language of Kannada is a must watch. It is hard to find good movies, which in an effort to appeal to the masses talks down to its audience. One can understand the thought process behind making a movie that addresses the lowest common denominator ($£€.Rs). As a breath of fresh air to the Kannada film industry we have director Mr. Pawan Kumar tackle an interesting topic. Human fascination with interpreting dreams and its significance seems to be a never ending endeavour. While inception was about secrets in dream, Lucia is about

'Ship of Theseus' (SOT) is an awesome movie that too coming from an unexpected place, the Indian film industry known for its 'run of the mill' inane and insipid movies. SOT is a movie about three different stories united by a single narrative. Each story exploring different aspects of human existence and karma. SOT starts by posing to the audience the titular thought experiment "Theseus' ship paradox". This is to do with the question of identity

I recently watched the movie 'Stanley ka Dabba' (SKD) and here is my review of the movie. In short, SKD is a finely made film highlighting an important social issue and the movie succeeds in doing just that and it does smartly as well. This aspect is very important in a country like ours where pertinent issues like corruption, policy reforms are high jacked in a jiffy by things like IPL or 'Shiela ki jawani' song.

' Now showing ' is a movie review show on CNN-IBN tv channel aired on Fridays at 10.30 pm which review latest movies released that same week and as well as new DVD releases. Both the host and the movie critic on this show is Mr. Rajeev Masand known for his outright blatant expression of views in his movie reviews . I still recall how he famously threw an egg at the camera after reviewing the utterly hopeless movie 'RamGopalVarma ki Aag'.

I derive value out of watching the review, since it is better to spend couple of minutes reading the review rather than spending two whole hours watching the movie only to feel what a hopeless waste of time it was. It also makes sense as there are way too many movies out there but very few good ones given the rat race in the  movie industry! There are a quite a few reviewers out there, how to follow the right one. Now that is a tough question.
