Special 26

Special 26 – One of the best heist movies in Indian Cinema. While there has been movies like Players which has been a deliberate attempt to remake Italian Job, Special 26 does it in Indian style… It is based on a true incident and it is a very entertaining drama that will keep you engrossed….

Cloud Atlas

Cloud Atlas – Brilliant story about how the liberation of individuals from their current crisis are inspired by the actions of individuals in the past present and future. The directors have stuck to non linear narration to narrate stories in six different eras. It is complicated and tests the ability of the audience to keep

Samar

Samar – A very average outing for Vishal. The director had a novel plot for the movie. But where it has failed big time is in the screenplay and narration department. You are not able to connect to the movie in most of the parts Can Skip it

Shangai

Shanghai – very gripping investigation drama with political back drop… Though not an out and out commercial entertainer it has the ability to glue the multiplex audience to their seats… The story is the hero where every character is etched well to make it flow… Watchable

Kahaani

Kahaani – complete satisfaction of seeing a Indian thriller after a long time. Kolkatta city during Durga pooja is captured so well and is a vital part in the movie… Vidya Balan continues her performance and has the ability to take the script just by herself… A must watch…

Muran

Muran – said to be inspired by Hitchcock, fails to engage completely due to the length of the movie.. A different approach than many other movies should be lauded but fails to create an impact…. Wait for DVD/TV

Mankatha

Mankatha – good casting, decent plot but poor execution. The scenes are too long and slow for a movie of this genre and too many twists spoil the fun… But for Ajith doing a baddie there is nothing in the movie… “Don’t gimme any more!” Can Skip it
