AkaashVani [2nd Trailer]

The 1st trailer was completely crazy, and this 2nd one is fully romantic with the emotional dose. Though, one bad thing, the climax appears predictable that it would be a happy ending unless they twist it. Both Kartik Tiwari and Nushrat Bharucha looking good together, excellent chemistry. Just hoping the film as a whole clicks this time with me unlike 'Pyar Ka Punchnama'.

I like how the trailer shifts from happy romantic to sad romantic, with the final lines 'Love gets a second chance' and that melody background tune that plays with it.

Woh aaj humse mile anjaano ki tarah
hum yunhi raah takke baithe the deewano ki tarah
har nigaah mein aur door chale jaate hai
humse nazar churaate hai beyimaano ki tarah...

Murder3 [Trailer]

From the trailer, it looks Randeep Hooda pretty much plays the role Prashant Narayanan had in last film, a psycho against girls for some reason. Though, I could be wrong. The guy playing cop role, and Sala Loren appear to be weak actors unless they change my opinion after watching the film.

Aditi Rao gets very less shots, I hope she ain't saddened with a cameo like Jacqueline was in Murder2. Randeep Hooda looking impressive, he has dissappointed me with his films since Jannat2. But, those films had poorly written roles so this could be that film he needs to showcase his talent, as a solo male lead this time.

The trailer isn't as good as Murder2 was, they had used 'bheege honth tere' song so well. But then Murder2 was a average movie, so first impression isn't everything. Want good music from Pritam, Teri Jhuki Nazar song that is already out is very much average.. For now, I can say that my expectations from the movie are very less.

'Sab kuch bahut jaldi jaanna chahti ho tum..' 

3G [Trailer]

Super natural thriller, based on events that start to take place when they  buy a second hand 3G mobile phone. Reminds slightly of Karthik calling Karthik and 13B, probably the story here would be different from them. It appears like Neil Nitin Mukesh has dual roles or split personality, the evil one is what I am looking to see him in as in the trailer he looks very good in those shots. For instance, 2:12 and 2:22, those laughs and  reactions. Also, the end part where he looks left, and right and then screams at the camera.

If the film is as good as trailer, then it could be another '7 Khoon Maaf' kind of praise for Neil Nitin Mukesh. Also, Sonal Chauhan is a actress to trust on, loved her in Jannat. 'Kaise bataayu tujhe ke dil mera kya keh raha' song is nice too.

The trailer is very well cut. Waiting for this film..

The Impossible [Views]

Directed by : Juan Antonio Bayona

Imdb link -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1649419/

The most scary bit for me, was to see I was on my own. And then I saw the two of you, I didn't feel scared anymore. 

A film based on tsunami that hit the south east asia on 26th Dec, 2004. Its about one family that survived that tragedy facing lots of struggles.

Henry (Ewan Mcgregor) and Maria (Naomi Watts) along with their three boys have gone to Thailand beach resort on a holiday. They enjoy the Christmas, and are in good mood next morning until the tragedy strikes and they are taken by surprise with absolutely no chance to run away. Maria and her elder son, Lucas (Tom Holland) survive but Maria is severly injured especially her leg. And they don't know if Henry and other two kids made it or not. 

The tsunami disaster scene effects are very well done, looks very real and very unwatchable thinking of how it would had been in real. The way Maria and Lucas get hit by numerous trees, wood and furniture was terrible, specially the climax scene which shows how worst it was for Maria.

Too much of close-ups and screaming/shouting let the movie down. Also, the characters aren't developed much before the tsunami comes, atleast 3 scenes of family together would had made that connect with them. Instead its during their struggle when we have to connect with them, it was still touching to see their spirit but could had been even better. I liked the aeroplane scene, the fear in two characters tells how they could struggle next morning when they face the disaster.

Some great scenes like Maria and Lucas helping Daneil stuck in the tree bushes, Maria asking Lucas to help other people in hospital, or Henry asking his kid to look after his younger brother who cutely replies 'But, I haven't looked after someone before' and the guy giving his mobile to Henry to make a call.

Also, I feel they could had showed sub-plots of 1-2 families slightly in detail. This would had made it look less partial than it actually did. Though, the film is about one family only but truth is everyone suffered in this tsunami. The background score wasn't appealing either, and was loud at places.

All actors gave good performances, but Tom Holland as Lucas was the pick of them. To suddenly do so much at his age, specially that scene where he helps his mother climb a tree.


In the end, The Impossible is a decent watch, with good special effects of tsunami done, and the scenes that reflect fighting ability and human spirit. It could had been a great film though.

Movie Analysis : Table No 21

Directed by : Aditya Datt
Imdb link -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2229842/

Game ka rule hai.. if you lie, you die. 

A couple Vivaan (Rajeev Khandelwal) and Siya (Teena Desae) comes on a vacation to Fiji which they in a lucky draw. They get warm welcome by the organisers. The owner Mr. Khan (Paresh Rawal) invites the couple for a 'Truth' game called Table no.21 where they will be asked 8 questions, whose answers have to be Yes or No, and after end of each question, a daring task would be given to do. They would get 21 crores as prize, and the game would be viewed live by 8 million viewers across internet.  But, the catch is.. if they lie, they die and they can't quit the game. As the game goes on, the couple starts getting uncomfortable and realizing there's something more to the intention of the owner then just playing this game.

The film begins mysteriously, taking the normal romance route before the couple gets introduced to the game and Mr.Khan. The narration is slow in terms of how a thriller should be, the editing needed to be quick with fast cuts. Plus, some of the dialogues are very dull and not funny as they are made to look like. The bald look of a girl in movie looks so fake, very laughable.

Climax is very shocking, and is the only sequence of the movie that totally engages you. Though, its a bit too late as you have already passed through entire screenplay by then. Except for Manipulate task, all the given tasks were good ones. Personally, I loved kiss task the most. Aditya Dutt's direction is okay, he does well to keep the romance part to a minimum and come to point of the film quickly but fails in narrating the story perfectly.

'Mann Mera' is very romantically picturised and I love the vocals too. One of good things about the movie, that its not burdened with songs into the narration.

Paresh Rawal is the only one who gives energy into this film, with his random shayaris and not revealing his intentions behind this game.

Rajeev Khandelwal is decent, somehow he didn't impress me as he normally has done in his past films. Teena Desae was fine in her debut.


Overall, Table No.21 turns out to be average movie, just like the game looks interesting to the couple at first and gets uncomfortable with every task, the movie looks good in the start but as it goes on.. the continuous flow goes missing, the numerous flashbacks breaks the flow of questions asked too.


Verdict : AVERAGE

Dead Man Down [Trailer]

Next film from the director of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', with Noomi Rapace playing female lead role. I loved her in the dragon tattoo movie, so looking forward to this movie. Appears to be lot of bloodshed action movie and stylish too. Trailer was nice. 

Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga [Trailer]

From the makers of 'Phas Gaye Re Obama', a film that was super funny.. this is first teaser. Sanjay Mishra always arouses interest to watch a film, though the rest of the starcast except for Zakir Hussain appears new. If the dialogues and the comedy punches are good, then this film might be good. The teaser was pretty okay...
