Once Upon A Time in Mumbai - Review

This is a story of a time when Peru (Guava) used to cost only 25 paise.

Sultan Mirza a person who had come from Chennai aka Madras that time to Mumbai made sure he made friends instead of enemies in his line of work which would make it easy for everyone to work. He was one of those guys who did not like bad things to Mumbai aka Bombay.

Then comes in Shoib Khan who with the attitude it is "My Way or the Highway" wants to reach the top and want to go there fast by hook or crook.

That is the background of the main character, now the movie well I was expecting some fundoo action or else some smart moves by main characters but what I got in the initial part was a Love Story of both characters which was totally baseless in the movie. What I think is director was short of story and wanted to add glam and bore the audience added Rihanna and Mumtaz. Well Rihanna aka Kangana does not know how to act (this is her first movie which I have seen) and Mumtaz aka Prachi Desai was really OK!

In second half, I thought more action would be on the way but no it was just same boring stuff and then the expected happened Shoib Khan goes to rival gang and does not like what Sultan does to him. To all fairness what Sultan did was slap Shoib, I thought now some gangwar will happen who will have the upper hand etc etc but no, Sultan wants to do a rally, I mean wtf yep he did give a good speech but no use sir.

For the background score Mr Pritam just ripped of Marlyn Manson Beautiful People song and songs were not required in this.

So all my hopes got dashed where I was expecting to see a good movie but it ended in a duh! and Bore! and and...the movie could have got over in one hour if the romance would not happen.

INCEPTION - No Review

There are 1000 post and blogs flying around the internet praising the movie and the director, well most of them had to praise about it because at one point of time even the actress in the movie got confused on what the hell were they doing and whose dream were they getting into.

I really loved the movie in one sense which is something never tried before and this has got lot of people thinking and talking about kicks, dreams, sub consciousness, limbo etc etc. What is interesting is how the concept got flowing and how it had being created into one of the masterpiece of the year where lot of people will still talk about it.

What more interesting is you can dream in a dream which people do talk about but they have taken it to another level.

Indian movies have done this a very very long time back if you do not believe me check this video out



I hope you get it what I mean here....our own Hrishi Da the legendary film-maker has thought about this even before Nolan started to learn how to pee in the loo all by himself
