Vicky Donor


A good film with good motives deserve good appreciation ..!!!  

       There are several movies on several different topics, but is there any movie about sperm donation and infertility ? I did not remember there are any, If there is then I had not seen or that  was not much famous. Yes, Vicky Donor have theme of drama, comedy, openness, emotion, infertility and  mainly sperm donation.



       In  India, There are very little who have interest of sperm donation, but after watching Vicky Donor there would be so many who wants to donate their sperm. This movie also provide awareness so it is a multipurpose masala comedy film.


       Vicky Arrora is a middle class  Punjabi boy, who live with his mother and grandmother, he is a cool dude without any stress and he is also irresponsible, he works in beauty parlour of her mother, he neither went to bank one time in life. Dr. Baldev Chadda, infernity specialist, convinced Vicky to donate sperm after several try. Meanwhile Vicky meets a Bengali girl Ashima Roy in a bank, he falls in love with her. Later, after several flirts of Vicky, Ashima also falls in love with Vicky. Ashima told him that she is divorcee, but it was no problem to Vicky. Both of them convinced their family for marriage. After marriage Ashima came to know that she can not become mother. From now movie got tragedy and become emotional. At end, I think I also got a couple of drops of tears.  :)


        The character of Dr. Chadda and Vicky is very much appreciated, both of them made a good chemistry  and comedy. Dialogs are very good as they are in Punjabi and Hindi. Song "Pani  ka rang" is beautiful. Cinematography and editing are as usual normal. But movie had managed to bind you till end successfully. Overall movie is well balanced and became successful to show it's all motives. A good film with good motives always appreciated..!!!

The Avengers

A perfect assemble of superheroes - The Avengers.


        After a long time of waiting finally The Avengers is released. I have waiting for this movie from last 3 years. Iron man series is one of my favorite superhero series and I love to see every movie in which Iron man was there. So after long time I went to cinema hall with my cousin and watched the assemble of 4 superhero Hulk, Thor, Iron man, Captain America to save the world with help of Director Nick Fury and his agents Black Widow and Hawkeye.


        As movies starts it is more concentrated to storytelling and linking of the previous movies Ironman 2, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor and Hulk. The first half part is summoned of these superheroes. Another part is packed with superb visual effects and sound effects also dialogues are awesome. Especially Ironman’s dialogues are hilarious and quick witted.


        The movie is well balanced with story and action scenes some movies are failed to adopt this phenomenon such as Transformers 3 Dark side of moon and Ghost rider 2 spirit of vengeance. These movies are concentrated to only special effects and lacked in story whereas The Avengers has overcome from this. Phase 2 sounds like a another part of the Avengers that is part 2. Action sequences are well edited and directed. Captain America is the captain of Avengers and give orders. Use of Hulk's power is very good, even Hulk is doing some comedy scene, beating  Loki is one of the most funny scene. It seems it is a best time pass movie of superheros. Yes some critics are saying that less story, not synchronized characters, more attention on action, imbalance, faults in action scene blah.. blah.. blah..!! but do not forget that critics are known for finding fault and critics, it is their job to find faults, and believe me friends if you ask to a thief why you have to  thieve, He will give a numbers of excuses and reasons then you sure be realize that he is not guilty. So my point is, there will not be fully perfection, so forget about what critic says and watch the earth's mightiest heroes in theater. Enjoy !!!


        This is one of the best action movie, watch it in theatre that would be better than home. So go to cinema hall spend money it's worth it.

Hugo

An entertainment for entire family.


Hugo is a story about an orphan boy who lives at Paris Montparnasse Station’s platform and work in a clock tower of the platform. Based on a novel “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” by Brian Selznick.


After death of Hugo’s father in a fire at the museum, his uncle takes him to a big clock at station where he used to maintain the working of clock. After teaching all the work Hugo’s uncle left him alone there and did not return later he is found dead. For living Hugo used to steal foods from the station, and he also steals mechanical parts from a Toy Store to complete his father’s Automaton (Mechanical Robot) which is not working and his father wants to repair it as his father is a watchmaker.


One day Hugo is caught by Toy Store owner and Store owner took notebook of Hugo in which working of the Automaton is written. Hugo follows the shop owner in seek of his notebook then he met to Isabelle, granddaughter of Store Owner, who promise to help Hugo. 


Later Hugo fix the Automaton then Hugo and Isabelle tragically came to know that Store Owner is, a great director of early movies, known as Georges Melies.

First time I saw this movie then I thought if this movie would made in 3D it would be a great movie because I love the scenery, camera work and cinematography that are awesome, later I came to know that movie was made in 3D.


Entire movie is a great work of camera, cinematography and photography. Visual effects are too good and sound effects are also good. Acting, directing and editing is also beautiful. Everything is well balanced. Hugo had won several Oscar, Bafta and Academy awards also. I love this adventure drama film. Total entertainment for a entire family. Watch this on Sunday with family everyone appreciate your choice.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance


Only For action and special effects lovers.


Ghost Rider : Spirit of Vengeance is just an action thriller movie specially made for action loving audience not for all types of audience. Whereas Ghost Rider is a superb movie and loved by all types of audience.


This movie have a simple story and did not connected to previous Ghost Rider. A lady Nadya (Violante Placido) tries to save her son Danny (Fergus Riordan) from a devil named Roarke (Ciaran Hinds) with the help of Moreau (Idris Elba). As Danny is son of Roarke and also posses power of his father, his father wants to take Danny’s body on Danny’s birthday because he is getting old and weak so he wants a new body to live on earth.


Moreau wants to help Nadya and her son and wants to hand over Danny to monks, but he fails so he finds out the Johnny Blaze a Ghost Rider (Nicolas Cage) and makes a deal that if Johnny protects the son he will free his spirits from the Ghost Rider’s curse. Later Johnny again gets the curse from the son Danny and movie gets the high quality Visual effects actions scene and ends.


About acting, all of the characters of this movie had done worst acting ever, nobody likes their acting. As movie goes on you will think that this is the murder of Ghost Rider comic character. Only special effects can not bring life to a movie. Who likes to see action movie without any proper story and proper editing, acting and just wants to see actions, this movie will be good for them.


Editing of the movie is not good, even storyplay is bad. Cinematography and photography of the movie is very good because it have lots of special effects. Background music is also good.

Overall it’s a normal movie and only for one time watch, sure action lovers can watch it twice thrice and many times. If you are Ghost Rider fan and loves this kind of movie so watch it atleast one time, otherwise don’t waste your time.

Stanley Ka Dabba

An appreciation of whole crew of the film makers.

          Stanley ka Dabba is joint effort of bollywood and theaterplay directored by Amole Gupte, who is also the creative director of a serious movie about children Tare Jameen Par.



          Stanly ka dabba is a movie about a fourth standard school going boy who never brings dabba (Lunch box) for recess. There was a Hindi Teacher Babubhai Verma (also known as Khadoos by students) who also never brings dabba for lunch time and always peeking in others lunch box. In recess all students eat their lunch and they also share their lunch with Stanley because Stanley is master in story telling, all boys love to listen his stories, because his stories are too creative and funny. Somehow Babubhai attracted to students lunch box and keeep sharing with them, when he used to eat students's lunch Stanley always get hungry so the students always runs far away from Babubhai. One day Babubhai caught them and shout on Stanley and said without dabba no school. 


          Later tragedy makes movie very emotional and reveals the truth of being hungry in recess of Stanley, It is really a very important issue that due to child labour a lot of students can not complete their homeworks, projects and some other activities, specially the students like Stanely who works in hotel or other places who even don't have mother and father.


          Stanely ka dabba looks very funny in the begining but it reveals the real motive of the movie in the last 20 minutes. The director, editor and script writer had successfully managed the suspense and they reveals it at the very perfect time so the film really touches the everyone's heart. Even I get a lots of droplets of tears in my eyes. Worth to watch.


          Amol Gupte is director, creative director, producer and also a actor as Babubhai Verma in this movie. The role of Stanley Fernandez is played by the son of Amole Gupte, Partho Gupte. In the last movie shows that the movie was made on saturdays and holidays only, having 2 recess in total five hours  also tells about child labouring in India.

Harry meets the brother of Albus Dumbledore and ask for help, Voldemort attacked the Hogwarts while Harry and his friend still try to found out the remaining horcruxes, A crown Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem (also known as the Lost Diadem) horcrux is destroyed by Harry with Fiendfyre which requires extreme skill to control and the Killing Curse. Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, a horcux, is destroyed by Hermoiny and Ron with the help of Godric Gryffindor's Sword as this sword contain Basilisk venom, which can destroy horcrux very well and easily. Hermione Granger used Basilisk fangs from the Chamber of Secrets to destroy Helga Hufflepuff's Cup. Neville Longbottom destroy the Nagini (A snake which is also pet of Voldemort) by Godric Gryffindor's Sword.



        At end Voldemort stopped attack and ask to Harry to come alone for fight. Proffesor Serverous Snape is killed by Voldemort and Snape told Harry to keep his tears which had memory. Later Harry see the memory and he came to know that he also contain a horcrux of Voldemort when Voldemort attacked him when he was child.

        After 19 years Harry sends his son Albus Severus Potter to Hogwarts and told him that he was named after two great principle of Hogwarts Albus Dumledore and Servous Snape one is from Gryffindor and another one is from Slytherine, you have to no worry of selection in Hogwarts because the sorting hat also consider the choice of candidate.

       It is the movie which had all thing what we expected to watch. It had perfect end of Harry Potter series. But if you don't know the elder wand, horcruxes, gryffindor's sword, Harry's scar, Serius Black, chamber of secret and many more thing which is shown in other film. you can not understand this.

        This is amazing film. The film had superb visual and sound effects and graphics. Watching in 3D is real deal. Acting of all character is on the edge. perfect directing and editing made this movie the best one of all harry potter series. If you do not remember any of thing of remainig film I advise to see first remainig movies. It is the best film of year 2011. It all ends here...  perhaps..

A new era of comedy "Delhi Belly"


    After a long time I had visited to cinema hall with my friends for a movie "Delhi Belly" As we expected that movie will be good, but the movie have outstanding comedy. This type of comedy is the first time  in India. A new era of comedy in bollywood begins now. 



    Delhi Belly is a story of three friends Arun, Tashi and Nitin who lives together with sharing rent of the house in Delhi. Tashi is a journalist with photographer Nitin and Arun is cartoonist in a news paper. Tashi is going to be marry soon, but some hilarious and tragedyfull shit happens and he attracted to his co-worker Leena who going to divorce her husband. A package of diamonds is lost by this trios and the story begins. The  diamond smuggling gang wants their diamond back so they do the some cool shit with trios. But the trios are smarter than the gang and smartness made the film superb.

   This is a adult rated movie and it contain some mind-blowing scene and hilarious dialogue  containing abuses. Some scenes are just outstanding you will jump off from your seat while laughing. There are no overacting of any character, all character are well balanced throughout the movie. The photographer is very smart he knews all the dirty things to do very well. The movie is originally made in english language, so there are improper lipsing with the dialogue but movie has overcome from this fault by making a big laugh on your mouth.



    There are total seven songs which comes in background at perfect time. "Bhagg D.K Bose, aandhi aayi" is already very popular in youth because it sounds like a abuse. Rest of songs are also very good. Lyrics are superb, music is ok. Cinematography of the movie is very good specially in begining of the movie. Editing is perfect.
