Inside Out

Profoundly intellectual at a kiddish level. Inside out makes you turn yourself inside out with joy . It's literally a trip down the memory lane whereby you end up thanking the geniuses behind this mammoth piece of art. A young girl is born into a loving family, her mental journey from having been a baby to being a kid along with her travel from her hometown to a new place and the way she feels alone in an all new world and tackles her want to escape into her past is brought out in this movie . The way her memories are captured by her mind and the depiction of joy, sadness, disgust, fear and anger as characters inside of your brain controlling ones action outside in reality in different contexts was a touch of masterclass. While Joy tries to claw its way back into the life of the host, its sorrow that brings back memories of togetherness with family.  This was a lesson on the functions of the brain so beautifully yet intelligently put across. You get a glimpse of the thought train, the long term memory, vanishing memories, the dream factory, an imaginary friend. All of which are bundled into a interesting dissection of how ones thought process is initiated and put into fruition by the reactionary mind to the external world. Watch this masterpiece that’ll educate you with loads of joy as you may tear up on learning what beautiful animation and intellectual freedom can do to movie making at its pinnacle.

Dil Dhadakne do -

If you let it beat, you'll be beaten up and then will cave in to the demands of heart maybe:)

A family melodrama on a cruise  which ends with the comic voice of Aamir Khan alais Pluto Mehra , the dog of wisdom to humanity.

A wedding anniversary of a dysfunctional couple of upper social class necessitates the journey of celebration on a cruise wherein ;

We find

1. A Dad who has had quite a few affairs, business and marriage being the worst managed of them,

2. A Mother who couldn't manage an affair of her own,

3. A Daughter looking for divorce from her current to wed her past,

4. A Son whose passion is to fly but ends up grouded loving a dancer.

How is one to connect them all into a mess of a movie - we give it up to Dil Dhadakne do ......

Wherein the dad plans to make the latest addition to the family on the grounds of his business and emotional bankruptcy.  He plots for one of his friends to bank roll him out of business woes by relating his son to his friends daughter. 

When the plan goes awry, the son gradually manages to point out the flaws to his parents, only to end up swimming in the Mediterranean Sea to get back to his loved one.

Ranvir tries to belong to the upper class but his colours gradually wore off, as he returns to his original self. Priyanka does well taking a pill to erase her memories of her current dysfunctional relationship with her husband. Kudos to Anil kapoor, who carries the movie on his age old shoulders, the best actor the movie has to offer . Though Anushka doesn't pull off the dancer, she's still worthy of love in her moments of intimacy with Ranvir. Farhan ain't really starring in the movie so no comments.

Overall worthy of a watch with no expectations, If you could appreciate the humour and laugh it off once you get out of the movie hall. Zoya Akhtar," the director of luck by chance", has turned to commerciality on failure of appreciation for her intellect. She uses a dog to impart wisdom to some of us . God bless her with many more successes for Zindagi na milegi dobara!:)
