Cuckoo -the movie - the review


Cuckooed by the cuckoo, the story of two differently abled lovers who love with blindness only in their eyes. I've heard of love being blind, today the director made me believe that if lovers be blind, that is the most sacred union of hearts. This love transcends all boundaries of the language of hearts, portrayed by the normality of vision and materiality mastered by most directors. This is a novel attempt at melting the hearts of viewers, who'd come out of the hall wanting to be loved blindly. Attakathi Dinesh turns blind this time around after playing a loafer in the past. The amount of refinement in his acting in only his second movie shows there are talented folks out there waiting to grab every chance with a scope for natural acting. 

The newbie portrays lady love to perfection. When the cuckoos comes calling  in the finality, your heart starts pounding faster. It pounds faster in a prayer for the coming together of these two soul mates. If  the directors Cupid arrows were even a bit more sharper, they would've made you celebrate Valentines day on a daily basis for this union, as you are bowled over by this flawless creation of an artist. Watch it, live it and celebrate it, for this love is as unique as it can get in the modern era.

Queen


A Queen in deed and at heart;
A kid at heart, with a quintessential cultural background and a traditional upbringing, pleasured by thoroughly enjoyable modern experiences, faced by rejection at the hands of a fiancée of the yesteryear school of thought flirting with disaster! She enjoys one hell of a honeymoon without her fiancée, feeling out of place at times, yet putting up a show of happiness! If Japanese and Russians can induce emotions, Indians can atleast squeeze a drop of tear out of you!!! Rather than putting it as Alice in wonderland, it's more Like Kangana Ranaut sorry ran"out"to wonderland  and owned the big stage like a queen. Beautiful cinematography, different songs, perfect comic timing!  She's the queen of the house of cards of Bollywood that wouldn't wither away from your memory in time to come! Portrayal of beauty without obscenity is something difficult to be shown to the audiences these days. Her character in the movie portrays the culmination of innocence and happiness brought about by a structured breakdown of sorrow, by freedom of thought, unshackling herself from traditional monotony of bounded Hindu love. Watch it and you'll believe every word of it!

300, The rise of an em"pire" - Review


























Three Hundred, hope this doesn’t go unread;
The rise of a nation;
Haunted by the blood of Leonidis and the 300 past,
This rise of an empire might be forgotten fast?
Yes, Indeed.
It lacks the sucker punch, yet remains thoroughly watchable owing to the screenplay and background score and the rationale that a person would never give up on the what could have been, as every second that passes by the movie runs amok, as Persians falter into the abyss, thanks to Athenian strategem.
The movie starts on a beautiful note – Quote “A mad experiment by Athenians againt the mighty Persians, all for an Athenian Idea called democracy, for a free greece”Unquote. Acting does not inspire, nor does anyone try. Eva Green as Artemisia flatters with her divine beauty, appreciated only by the greeks of the past, as her acting decieves and she falters into the waters of Greece, with the idea of freedom.
Xerxes feeds on the dead, grieves as his father falls, bathes likes a Greek God, walks and rides more than he talks. But his innate anger, the very reason for the desire to conquer, fails to inspire the vengeance that gave birth to the idea of conquering Greeks.
There used to be this feeling in 300, when Leonidis braves the persian messenger when he shouts his lungs out “This is Sparta”. That instantly sent shivers down the spine of the messenger, the audience would have clenched their fists to defend Sparta and avenge the audaciousness of Persian offering of tyranny. But As the 300 empire rises and progresses into the w hole , one feels whether this was the Sparta? – The same Sparta that portrayed the valour and believable courage of the 300, that braved the animosity of Xerxes, even when outnumbered by tyranny and deceived by one of their own, they fought on to attain the glorious death that provides the ammunition for the salvation of a warrior. The blasphemy of Leonidis’s death avenged too late by a queen that grieves a bit too late. The foreplay of Queen's vengeance isn’t consummated by the blood of Xerxes or his disciples. Themistocles as the main lead, leads, falls, rises, strategises and beds victory with ease, as Artemesia raves about his manhood and gifts death, as her Persian God looks away in  human loss.
300 Rise of an empire is as good as the Age of Mythology post Age of Empires for the Strategy Gamers - Geeky impulse, sorry. Simply Put, Ain’t as good as its precedent, No Pun intended.
