P.K. my thoughts

P.K is an alien’s refurbishment of Oh My God peekay!
An effort to curb the enthusiasm of the followers of the messengers of God. It portrays the creativity of the messengers of god in creating the creator himself, capitalizing on the fear for the formless.  The Concept of God created by the messengers is shown to be an apotheosis of Bogus.
An Alien questions Hindu faith, along with that of other religions. Sadly only the idolatry worship of Hindus and their identification of Creative Spiritual leaders is majorly condemned to ridicule, only a passing reference is given to other religions, for fear of a major backlash from those who respect their religion more. Aamir tries to be an alien, Anushka tries to stay interested in what he has to say, Hirani’s magic this time out doesn’t leave me spellbound, but left me thinking of the misnomer in the Aphorism of god perceived through the eyes of human apostles. 
Definitely worth a watch as P.K comes in a package which entertains, makes you think for a change, makes you change your thinking, re-defines faith by giving you one liners of intellect every now and then.  I felt something is inexplicably missing, please fill in the blanks, dont know what.  May be he tries to tell, what you follow is tradition, but what you believe in is the concept and what one has faith in is the formless, for the formless is God, who never deceives, who answers even missed calls made by posers like emissaries and  soothsayers, for commoners.

Kaaviya thalaivan

A love triangle of the old with a benefactor male and an effort that is bold. Plotted with pure hearted jealousy, With music that sizzles and plot that fizzles out to unite lovers for a tragic closure. A noble effort of novelty, with acting that could've been better and tragedy that could've been bitter. Vasantha balan tried a Shakespeare but could only afford Raghuvaran( prithviraj) to play a pivotal role. Though its Siddharth who's afforded a chance to pull a rabbit out of the hat, the expression of prithvi raj is what enthuses you from the crowd while witnessing the act. Captivating visuals help you adore the effort, and the background music aids your comfort. A stare of innocence into the heart of evil helps plant the seeds of rehabilitation for one's misdeeds is what we are made to believe. Overall it's more of a tragedy that leaves you with crocodile tears in the end, but worth your time for its novel picturisation, prithviraj's acting, background score that's just enough for your rupee outlay.

Nightcrawler

A night rider turns night crawler, and the gory night turns the rider into a reporter.

A story of a cold blooded reporter's life journey from a petty thief who theives his way from survival to reporting of crimes. On his way to top, he mugs a police officer, premeditates and films his own assistant being shot, offers his role as a boyfriend to his employer, acquires all that he sees that he wants, sends a fellow reporter to coma by making the guy's Van break free. This is a movie that'll amuse you as it offers scant regard for morality that forms part of humanity, depicted with brutal reality. A relentless reporter who shall stop at nothing, propels himself to fame. Nightcrawler crawls beneath your conscience to depict the normality of reality in media infotainment being reported. By far the pick of the lot in the last few months. Watch it for Jake Gylenhall and his unnerving acting.

Interstellar - take 1

                           

"Of all the things you would've imagined of Nolan, this is nothing like anything you would have seen before" - borrowed words of Over hype for want of words of my own I couldn't type.

This isn't a qualified opinion with research on the accuracy of scientific events that occur in the movie. It's just a light hearted take on a movie of abundant ambition that's bordering on the black hole and finally gets sucked into it. Interstellar is just freedom of Imagination running wild. Stellar performances and visuals make us believe in Interstellar that we can rage, rage against the darkness of ignorance in science. We can believe that we can travel back in time and set a morse code without remorse, to correct the future . Even when in space where there's No LAN, you believe coz of Nolan that you can Skype your messages without network. Matthew is tailor made for the part he plays. Matt Damon plays a negative role to perfection. Inter-stellar is indeed worth a watch as it's like an Apple Iphone launch, it's nothing like anything you've seen before, with visuals which can capture the imagination of what could've been from Astro chapters of yesteryears. Gravity plays hero to save dusty earth. Thoroughly enjoyable, even when your knowledge of what's beyond the universe is limited to the nomenclature of planets. Watch it for difference!!

Khoobsurat

Bahut Khoob surat;

When Cinderella comes around princesses don't stand a chance, as this is a fairy tale for kids.

What happens when a Firangi enters unchartered territory and into a lions den? The lion turns a pet in the hands of an angel:) 

Dashing looks of the prince are backed by nuanced and subtle acting required to pull off the role of a  prince. Mili (Sonam's)Milgayi tho Chakravarthy mujko bhi banadegi. Sonam's not so good acting, gets better. Her characterisation reinvigorates the kid in you and makes you wanna princess from the crib.  It's a bit too cute for maturity.

Overall watch it If you've been brought up watching Disney's fairy tales, I have been and I liked it.  Btw fairy tales were only fair and purely tales:) Else you wouldn't find much new, except the avatar and energy as it is the very usual and expected concept of love rendered without surprises.

Anjaan - Without Jaan

RAJU Bhai as portrayed by Suriya is a silly boy, who kidnaps people for fun and releases them alarmingly to the audience. Director has this amazing capability of not letting suriya act. The movie drags the life out of you, you require to muster all the strength to even walk the hell out of the movie hall. Vidyut Jamval, when he tries to act, it's without Vidyut and you feel like Jamming his head into the Wall, I guess that explains Vidyut Jamwall. Samantha just smiles around here and there and travels to places with Raju Bhai, like a headless "Chick"hen trying to be pretty and dumb at the same time. Lingusamy not for me, "thanks for this death knell". Even Manoj Bajpai succumbs to the numbness of this dim wit storyline. The producer for me is the real Anjaan( fearless) and will become the the Hindi "Anjaan" (stranger), if UTV production continues to produce movies like this one in South. Remember the Delly Belly remake. If the genre were to be humour, I would've still asked the director to humour me. Anjaan is just "un" Jaan for me, wait for it to be Anjaan within a weak week. If you feel irate  because of the abundant use of the word Anjaan, then man up and watch it.

City Lights - Re-View

A Devoted wife, married to a hard working soulmate, dances among salivating  foxes, to fend for innocence . While the soulmate of innocent ignorance  plays a humble and meek sheep amongst wolves, Finally conquered by animal instinct of criminality, ends up saving the family. City of lights lit at the end of innocence.
A mockery of a board that "criminals will be prosecuted" in the background, and the innocent with a hint of criminality will be persecuted, by the city that never sleeps.
Strong performances with music that melts yours senses - "sone do, Kwab bhone do, jaagenge phir thamenge koi waja jeene ki,sone do, Kwab bhone do " poetry that lingers, and the thought of sacrifice that makes you surrender to the thought that a mould could help your family to unlock the materiality of happiness . City lights definitely with a story line that makes you want to believe!
