PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA

Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance

Direction: Luv Ranjan

Leads: Rayo Bakhirta, Kartikeya Tiwari, Divyendu Sharma

Almost every Bollywood movie has the same combination of genre -comedy, drama and romance. And almost all are similar. But I was surprised to find out this broke out of that tradition. A pure genuine comedy, something that Bollywood rarely comes up with, is presented in this one. All the situations are depicted in such detailed and accurate manner with great direction. I just felt like standing up and giving a standing ovation to Luv Ranjan. Acting is a bit rookie in a way, but the spice in the movie covers it all up, especially the background sounds used. Even the songs are beautiful with simple and meaningful lyrics.

You will literally roll on the floor laughing. It's got great punches and teenagers will undebatably give it the best reviews. The movie connects today's love-life and shows every possible way of relationships. Till now, I have never seen any relationship out of the realms of the ones shown in this movie. Natural writing, outstanding humor and with an ending that again connects to our lives saying -"and after all that, we continue with our lives like nothing happened." For a Bollywood movie, I strongly recommend this!

RATING:

FAST FIVE

Genre: Action Thriller

Direction: Justin Lin

Leads: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson

I gotta admit, Justin Lin finally made something worthwhile. After the constant fluctuations in reviews of the Fast and Furious, this movie showed that the series is indeed a great one. Amazing direction and the entire crew has done their part really well. This time, they actually acted!

The movie has got lots of action and cars, and a storyline(!), unlike the second and third parts of the series. But even the other parts just concentrated on action sequences and racing. But this movie has been designed perfectly to not stretch such stuff and the action sequences here will really get you grab your seat tight.

The ending was a bit drag though. The only flaw was the whole plan, that had been built up by Vin Diesel throughout the movie, turns out to be way too unrealistic. Though it's a great and entirely new idea of robbing, they played it long enough for people to realize that it was exaggeration. Except for the final robbery execution, the movie was just awesome and it really brought up the series into the better audience.

I'd easily have given it 4 stars but just for the exaggeration of the robbery execution, I'll take out half.

RATING:

SOURCE CODE

Genre: Sci-Fi Action

Direction: Duncan Jones

Lead: Jake Gyllenhaal

The mystery grip is excellent. It keeps you looking and searching for every little detail So I'll give main credit to the director. Jake, on the other hand, was only okay. The plot of the movie was just mind-blowing and when you see it for the first time, you will literally be in a fantastic world. Although a people complained about the number of repetitions of one scene, but it was definitely important to reveal what is actually happening through easy way of explaining. They repeated the scene just the sufficient number of times and that is why the movie run-time is less than average.

The only downside was the concept implementation was not as brilliant as expected, unlike Inception. The concept was awesome but they just used it to find a train-bomber and that was it. There were not many hurdles in the mission. The entire grip was focused on the concept of the Source Code. So this makes the movie just a one-time, but a movie to be recommended, indeed.
