Uppi 2 (2015)
Seldom brood over past.. Live in the present
"Ivanyaro different very very different!" is one the song from this movie,which pretty much sums up director's skills. The movie is a sequel to Upendra which was released in 1999. He has directed after a gap of around 4.5 years(his last movie was Super) and he's back with a blockbuster!One of the qualities of his movies is the difficulty to interpret and convey the story to others. Here's what i thought :
Uppi 2 is all about advising people not to think too much and live in the past/future.Instead concentrate only on the present,as it is the only thing which we can change. Here we find the hero playing the role of Naanu(past Upendra), Neenu(present - who is considered to be a sage) and avnu(future - under cover cop) which is left to audience to interpret as their wish.But only naanu exists in the real word and rest are character's imagination. In order to obtain wealth and become happy,people will find different ways to accomplish. But being happy is not equivalent to being wealthy. Which means,only a person who is happy with his work is considered to be a healthy and wealthy man. If we live thinking about our past/ future we may not achieve anything.What we see is real.that is the ultimate truth!
Actual hero of this movie is the screenplay.The director has put in lots of hard work and thoughts in designing this,although he advices people not to think much.Kristina Akheeva looks gorgeous and has tried her best to act. Parul Yadav has done a cameo in this movie.Cinematography by Ashok kashyap is good. The music director Gurukiran has collaborated with Upendra after 16 years,and has given few catchy numbers.Dialogues are brilliant.
The song which had created lots of controversy-"No excuse Me please" seems to be irrelevant. Over all,it's a good movie and deserves to be watched more than once for its exceptional screenplay.
My rating is 9.5/10.
Dhoom:3 (2013)
most expected movie of the year is out....
The wait is over,most expected movie of season is out!!this movie is the third installment of successful Bollywood venture Dhoom and marks the collaboration of aamir khan with Yashraj films.movie is quite good but could have far better because it is perfectionist aamir's movie!!this movie reminds you of popular Hollywood movies like prestige,now you see me,mission impossible-4 at certain places and makes us realize that aamir gives his best when he directs his own movie. I feel katrina kaif has made a guest appearance in this movie rather than a heroine kind of role..abhishek and uday are at their best!the story takes a twist in the second half and leaves us mesmerized.the success of this movie is definitely bagged by aamir whose character reminds everyone of the role played by hrithik in 'koi mil gaya'. the movie is around 3 hour long and could have been edited at certain places.anyway it's a good movie.the best part is most expensive song 'malang',high octane action sequence,and of-course aamir khan's acting...truly he his the best...I watched this movie only for him.
Dil Chahta Hai (2001)
breath of fresh air to Indian cinema
when I first saw this movie,I was 11 and today it gives me immense pleasure to write a review on this.the movie marks the entry of one among bollywood giants FARHAN AKHTHAR as a director.the screenplay of this movie is so beautiful that one seldom feels bored,after watching this over 100 times.the movie has taken the film making to next level and this one was certainly a wake up call for all directors of bollywood. friendship is that special thing without which one cannot survive.the movie signifies the value of true friendship and full credits to all the characters for making movie much more effective!!there is no item song,action sequence,vulgar dialogues,and any such nowadays film strategy..the narration of friendship of two generations makes the movie stand apart..!the film bagged a national award.after watching this movie one truly craves for such friendship which is hard to find...the humor in this movie is an added flavour.I wonder how many books farhan would have referred to make such a good movie which is not possible for even younger generation directors...thank you farhan akhthar....i feel blessed to see movies like this..!
Googly (2013)
googly- love spin for sure..!
As the name suggests one can expect more twist and turns in the story.the movie is directed by pavan wadeyar who had made his strong debut as a director in pyaarge aagbitaithe,is back with a love comedy.
Plot:-Sharath(yash)is a fun loving guy who seldom had any friend because,of freakish attitude.He always lives his life as he wish.One day he is selected to represent his college at the global business seminar meet,as he is the topper.As he enters the packed auditorium he gets bored with the seminar and falls asleep.When his name is called upon,he is woken up by swathi(kriti)who is an MBBS student.Later he gives his hilarious speech and thanks swathi for waking him up.By this meet,both of them become close friends and starts to like each other.Over a period of time ,sharath starts to suspect every act of swathi.One day swathi is injured, and things become more messy when he misunderstands swathi's friend to be her boy-friend,at a hospital where she is undergoing treatment. sharath gets annoyed and slaps.unlike any guy who'll normally brood over his past girlfriend,sharath takes this as a challenge and devotes his time to studies,and becomes a huge business tycoon within couple of years.
after few years,he realizes his mistake of hurting swathi and apologizes through phone call on her birthday.Unfortunately,he's hurt to hear swathi being engaged to someone.Later,he returns to India to attend his friend's wedding,and is surprised to see swathi. Then,he'll come to know that swathi had lied to him,and tries to win her heart again.The movie ends with two couple uniting for eternal.
this blockbuster has every spice to turn the heat of audience.songs are foot-tapping,cinematography is ultimate and more than everything all the characters have given complete justice to their roles especially yash,ananth nag,kriti. it's really a treat to watch gorgeous kriti on silver screen.The thing i liked most about this movie is that a guy should not brood over his past,instead become the architect of his future.This movie is definitely a breath of fresh air for kannada industry and a humongous break to Yash.

Gaalipata (2008)
time pass movie of all time!!
GOLDEN STAR GANESH is teamed up with yoga raj bhat once again in this movie after mungaru Malay. hence,the expectation on yoga raj and ganesh would be naturally high and they have managed to do a pretty good movie.ganesh is at his best!!his appearance on a celluloid is magical!!even diganth has done a good job and hopes to be the next gen superstar of Kannada industry.rajesh Krishna's presence on the silver screen is as beautiful as his voice.daisy,neetu,bhavana rao have executed their roles very efficiently.this movie is worth your money.first half of the movie is very good when compared to second half and what makes the movie 'most ridiculous' is the climax!!!at certain point of time anyone would realize that yoga raj should have given more prominence to screenplay than humor.few songs penned by jayant kaikini is worth hearing and the best part of the movie is dialogs!!
this movie is a good attempt in terms of casting and it could have been more nice if screenplay was more effective.
Lucia (2013)
a must watch movie for all movie freaks
there are lots of people complaining about quality of films in kannada industry,but I feel proud to say that this is one of the best movies ever made in India. surely this movie should deserve an Oscar for it's screenplay.the movie has narrated the life of an usher and a big cinema star in such a way that audience can relate themselves with the characters.and I must say that it's really an herculean task for anyone to plot a synopsis for this movie.if anyone pays close attention from the beginning of the movie then it is a bit easy for them to analyze the screenplay.we think of some story at the beginning and it turns to be entirely different at the climax!!the director has given importance to even small things in the movie which has made a great difference.
finally I like to say that a movie becomes heart-touching if it makes the audience think of the movie all time and this film has did it! it is a must watch for all......!
Chennai Express (2013)
complete masala and family entertainer
firstly this movie marks the collaboration of two big BOLLYWOOD giants namely ROHIT SHETTY(HIT MACHINE) and king khan aka SHAHRUKH KHAN.this movie has all the ingredients to make a complete family entertainer.it has melodious n item songs,ecstatic locations that one wish to dwell in,high octane action sequences,sentiments,rib-tickling comedy,and film becomes more heart-touching and beautiful because of its narration of Indian values.the movie reminds everyone of 'DDLJ' at certain places.but what makes the movie too boring is its lack of suspense...the movie could have been much more effective if director had given more prominence to screenplay rather than portraying hero as a comedy piece.well,this movie has taken the reputation of 100crore club,by grossing half of its budget in just opening day of release!!!unlike movies like 'GRANDMASTI' which are making into these clubs as well....finally movie is a sure shot and does not disappoint family audiences.
