i was very unsure of what to expect from this film. Mainly because it is set in the World War 2 era, whereas i am a big fan of contemporary, urban films.
This was the first film i saw of the illustrious Quentin Tarantino films. i can easily say that i enjoyed it.
The performances are of the best calibre. Brad Pitt, in his heavy accent,is ruthlessly smart, funny and witty. So are all the other artists.
What more can i write for this award-winning film?
Watchable but requires an acquired taste.

Paa - trailer toh jhakaas hai
When the kids in the trailer are cheering for Auro, i also go - Auro, Auro.
Amitabh Bachchan is going to shine so bright in his role as Auro that he's gonna shadow every actor in the industry. i find his entire get-up very cute and lovable.
i am afraid that this film might aggravate the living-up-to-his-Dad's-standard situation for Abhishek.
This father-son son-father story seems too interesting. i checked out the website and it is too cool. i am sure it'll live up to the expectations.
Anyways, it is the most awaited film for me. Can't wait for 4th of December.
Can't wait to talk about the movie here.

Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahaani... hehe
Sweet film. Funny, though did not create the magic of Andaz Apna Apna.
APKGK is a lighthearted romantic comedy. A love story, every cinegoer is aware of has been spiced up with comedy, star power and clean fun.
Ranbir Kapoor is Muaaahh......
Katrina Kaif as usual beautiful and lovable. Actually, she inspires me to lose weight. Very pretty she looks.
Music is very nice. Not path-breaking but very hummable. And there are lots of songs in it.
The comparison with AAA is obvious because the makers themselves have referred to it heavily and that reminds you of that A-1 comedy. So, you look for that same magic, and don't get it.
Could have been better with more solid funny moments. Having said that, can't rob the movie of its due credit. Not to forget, Salman Khan's special appearance as himself was the smart one.
My take away from the movie is, Katrina's fantastic clothes and Ranbir's charms.....
Yea watchable for some good laughs.

Up - Good Stuff
This animated movie is from Pixar and so you don't expect anything less than perfect.
The theme of adventure and living beyond everyday routine is in itself an interesting plot. And to top it, the characters are so well etched-out, you just can't stop getting mesmerised in this ballooony world :)
Sleek editing and smart direction keeps you glued to your seat. Everything from Kevin's sense of humour and Dug's small acts make you enjoy it thoroughly.
All in all, it is a sweet movie with a wonderful message.
Watch it please!

Wake Up Sid....... Nice with a capital 'N'
i pledge to watch all the movies of Ranbir Kapoor. And Konkona Sen Sharma also, maybe.
They are both rocking in this sweet, little movie. Fresh, vibrant, hip, cool, Wake Up Sid is all this and more.
i watched it with Ma and Pa at PVR. They loved it too because long after the movie got over, we were still talking about it. Pa even wanted to watch it again. Coming from Pa, this really meant that the movie is truly watch-worthy. i don't know why people felt it was slow and boring. It is such a heartfelt and cute little movie.
The movie begins with Ranbir trying to study for his exams the next morning. And it sets the tone for the movie. As the film progresses, you completely relate with the situations, characters and the over all plot. i did, totally.
Sid's lack of purpose in life, his angst, partly unhealthy relations with his parents, his prodigal ways, his immature ways are all justified. How he finally becomes a man from a boy and discovers love sums it up dazzlingly. Don't mistake it for Lakshya because the film is not about aimless youths. It is about taking cues from life and making the best out of the given situations.
The performances are perfect, just as the role demands. No dramatisation, no overreactions. That's why this one is so close to your heart, it just reflects your own life. Konkona doesn't need any laurels. She is just too perfect in any role you put her into. Surprisingly and refreshingly, it is a rather odd pairing with Ranbir but it gives the movie that dash of reality and appeal. Anupam Kher and Supriya Pathak are unbelievably perfect. Ditto for Kashmira Shah and Rahul Khanna, he is been doing this small roles and shining through. Somebody, give him something big and his own, he'll definitely brighten it up. The friends of Sid are too cool. The 'healthy' girl and the meek guy are too adorable.
The music just about does justice to the movie. Iktaara is amazing. i wanted it to have another para but then it is asking for more, maybe. The best lyrics, as if they are speaking your mind. All the other songs are melodious too. i somehow feel that it could have been a tad bit better. Nice, though.
The photography is fantastic. You know, even i have a picture of feet against a water body of Mumbai. i told you, this is just a chapter from your life. The setting, specially the Mumbai Beat office is dhaansu. Clothes - fantastic, of course, it is Manish Malhotra. He knows how to hide the physical flaws of Konkona and Ranbir's t-shirts are so cute. The dialogues are perfect. Actually, i am running out of words to describe the movie or maybe i am getting repetitive. But i cannot finish it before giving the director his due credit. Young and smart, expectations have risen from you. The first baby is brilliant. Please live up to it, the next time over.
Over all, it is fantastic. Highly recommended. Must-watch actually. You'll start taking life lightly after this one.
