Mouna Ragam

This is one of my favorite movies. The movie is directed by Mani Ratnam. The movie revolves around a husband and a wife. It is such a piece of art. I think the narration is what makes Mani a good director. The story is very simple. It is a story about a husband who is much different from the rest of the guys and how he wins over his wife.

In Indian culture, a husband is a guy who has got all the control over his wife and he can do what he pleases in the relationship. This is what the situation was and to certain extent is in India. This movie was released in the year 1986 and during that time if someone had thought like this makes me feel so happy about such a kind person. Continue reading

A Wednesday

I saw this movie yesterday along with my pal. It was really very good movie. I liked it a lot. I just wanted to share with you some of the details of the movie. I was really very happy seeing it. The movie just hits hard on your head and it is amazing piece. I think this movie should make it to OSCAR next year from India. I would love to vote for it.

The movie has two stalwarts namely Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher. The theme of the movie is terrorism and aam aadmi (common man). The story is told in a gripping fashion. I love the way director has narrated the story. This movie actually makes you think. The dialogues are pretty good and the other actors have done their part really well. The cast and crew are perfect as far as I know. There are minor flaws here and there but that should not bother anyone. I think that many won’t even notice such minor details. Continue reading

Violence – Obsession?

I was going through the newspaper and there were news about communal fights between two communities in Orissa, India. There were many reports of bomb blasts in recent times at various places in India and these blasts were made by some group which upholds some cause which it thinks is right for its own people. I was just wondering how come it is right for some people and wrong for many others. If it is so is it right or wrong? These thoughts always come into my mind when I think of terrorists bombing some place or the other. If someone has to give up his own life for some reason then according to him that reason should be right in all possible ways. It will never be right for the others since everyone thinks differently. Somethings may be right for some and may not be the same for others.

Thinking deeply about the terrorist activities, the following thoughts came into my mind. Why do they indulge in these kinds of activities? The answers which I could figure out is, they get money if they carry out such activities or they believe in their principles deeply and assume whatever they do is right or they don’t like something and wish to destroy them for some reason. I could not figure out any bigger possibilities than these. Why I put money in the first is, people agree to disagree that money is evil but they badly need it and after certain level it becomes a big obsession. Nothing becomes as obsessive as money. Some people believe in their principles strongly and that becomes an addiction and whatever they do to support their belief is always right for them and they can justify the heinous acts that they do with the belief that they have. Some people just can’t stand others and instead of looking for better alternatives in life as to how to coexist with them they prefer not to have them at all in life and try to hurt them and kill them for their own good.

Movie Review – Rock On!!!

I watched Rock On today. Here are my views about the movie.

Rock on is Dil Chahta Hai – Part 2. Again there are four friends, rifts between them separates the four and they unite, just like DCH where there are three friends rifts separates them and at last the three end up together. 🙂

Rock On starts with a bang… Nice loud music from the start. The music was pretty descent through out the movie. Thanks to Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. I loved the way the story is told. It is kinda Jig-Saw puzzle. Everything fits in as and when the story moves on. Lovely narration, kudos to the director. I don’t remember any movie with similar story telling. (I know I have a bad memory, sorry if i missed something..).
