Saathiya
The usual fairy tale Indian love story ends with the lovers getting married followed by a flashy title card that reads “…And they lived happily ever after.” That is of cour
se what any escapist audience would expect and why not? “Saathiya” sings a different tune – one rooted a little more in realism. The beauty of the film lies in the fact that it embellishes this theme with the same escapist flair and deeply touching vibrancy that characterize the tradition of Indian cinema.
Aditya Sehgal (Vivek Oberoi) awaits his wife Suhani Sharma (Rani Mukherjee) at the railway station. She is nowhere to be seen. We cut back a year to watch them meet and fall in love in the usual masala routine. Wh
en their parents meet to arrange their marriage, class conflict creeps in to squeeze out their respective superiority and inferiority complexes. Aditya leaves home and Suhani is thrown out for disrupting her elder sister’s marital plans. The couple starts a new life together, mutually agreeing to shun their parents. The new apartment is dilapidating, but all that matters is that it is their home. She for him and him for her. Then what went wrong in this paradise? Or was it ever that?

As India

makes a timely plea to Indians at home and abroad. It serves as a reminder that in order for globalization and its trickle-down theory to work, initiatives also need to begin at the grassroots level. Change initiated by an individual regardless of how small it may be, is a beginning nonetheless. In the case of Ashutosh Gowarikar’s protagonist, Mohan Bhargava (Shahrukh Khan), that change emerges through a simple aim of lighting a bulb

We wonder what do the watch makers have in store for us, after making Kareena as the spider-woman. She is everywhere: on the hoardings, the bus shelters, not to mention of the TV and radio media, the internet, the newspapers. The 'Wonder-Girl' Kareena Kapoor, the Gen-Next Diva, who is not just the Numero Uno in Bollywood, but also has replicated the same status in the ad world too. Lets wait for this new film…

Kungfu Panda

The most exciting and hilarous movie of all times is kungfu panda. It may not sound hilarous but you wont stop laughing once you are half way through.
At once fuzzy-wuzzy and industrial strength, the tacky-sounding “Kung Fu Panda” is high concept with a heart. Even better, this animated feature from DreamWorks is so consistently diverting and visually arresting that it succeeds in transcending its storybook clichés. The tale has the consistency of baby pablum — it’s nutritious and easy on the gums — but there’s enough beauty and pictorial wit here from opening to end credits, enough feeling for the art and for the freedom of animation, that you may not care.
That outsider is even more irresistible when mixed with so much lovingly created animation, both computer generated and hand drawn. The main story, executed via 3-D animation (all done on computers) and directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne, fluidly integrates gorgeous, impressionistic flourishes with the kind of hyper-real details one has come to expect from computer-generated imagery: photorealistically textured stone steps, for instance, and fur so invitingly tactile you want to run your fingers through it. One of the pleasures of “Kung Fu Panda” is that instead of trying to mimic the entirety of the world as it exists, it uses the touch of the real. The character designs may be anatomically correct, but they’re cartoons from whisker to tail.
Its a must watch comedy and more importantly a family comedy movie which is rare to find.
Saving Private Ryan

The release of "Saving Private Ryan" generated a massive hype due to Steven Spielberg having also directed that other Second World War opus, "Schindler's List". Now that Hollywood has moved on and the fuss has subsided, it's clear that an important movie remains.
Much has been written and gasped about the opening 20 minutes as the GIs land on the beaches, only to be mown down by the Germans. Some recoiled at the graphic violence, others praised the realism, while some questioned whether war is really like that at all. The percentage of an audience who can accurately comment is surely small.
What is abundantly clear is that in the massive body of films that deal with World War II, this is one that pulls no punches. It consistently explores the unpredictable and random violence that engulfs and blinds the men within it.
The plot serves only to drag a squad of characters through uncharted peril with few fitting the normal pre-determined 'hero' tag of war films. They're off on a PR mission to find a Private James Ryan and take him home to his mother, who is shortly to learn that her other three sons are dead.
While the men are constantly under threat from the Germans, they are not engaged in a key battle that will help win the war. Without a major event to eclipse proceedings, a greater examination of each man's personal fears is allowed to shine through.
This is not a film that will please everyone and quite rightly so. But no movie about any war can seek to provide answers to every question. What Spielberg does is create a world of frightening carnage in which a small story is played out. As such, this is an important film that deconstructs war machines into separate, frightened men as it so likely was.
Some viewers point out at this video as a voilent movie but in my opininion it shows reality of what happened in world war2 and how people lost their families.
