This year watched almost 200 movies. Out of these, 14 were watched at PVRs/Multiplexes and 186 were watched in home-theatre. I have been making resolutions to cut-short on movies watched in a year but it appears like it is keeping growing. Again one of my resolutions for this year is to bring down the number of movies watched.

Here is the list of last 100 movies watched in home theatre -

Y.M.I. Yeh Mera India – It was released last year but never got to hear about this movie. Happened to watch actual India, the real picture and the reality through this movie. Many of us would deny this reality but still it holds the way it is. There are so many issues and so many vantages highlighted in this movie. Perhaps I had never liked N. Chandra had this movie not been made. An eye opening and provoking flick for today’s young generation.

Few things which still occur extravagance are such as Good News behind every Bad News (the way tagline goes) and so many things happening in one day around selected personalities (can’t be imagined in any such scenario – even many such inordinateness movies are also being prepared in Hollywood and so are they disliked)

Rating: 7/10

The Hangover – Another One-Day comedy movie. Was hilarious at many places.

Rating: 7/10

The Other End of the Line – Quite unrealistic but showing quite realistic cultures. The core theme of Love Aaj Kal resembles with this movie.

Rating: 5/10

District 9 – Movie about accommodating alians on earth and the problems they can pose. Quite naive and dirty in the way slum of aliens is shown.

Rating: 5/10

Sleepless in Seattle – Gone are the days when such romantic movies were made. Another recommendation from Sunshine and turns out to be marvelous. Meg and Tom Hanks – one beautiful on-screen couple which always makes you smile, no matter whatever the ground of story is. This one is quite much about luck in love and once again reminds me of Serendipity.

Rating: 7/10

My Mom’s New Boyfriend – Wanted to watch it for Meg and finished it only for her otherwise nothing much like fun provided Antonio Banderas is also there. Perhaps only bad movie of Meg I watched so far.

Rating: 4/10

Marley & Me – An average comedy around a man, his family and his dog – all raising together. Couldn’t get much interest provided i like pets at zoos.

Rating: 6/10

This time Me, Sam and MKM – weekend fun at Big Cinemas. Movie was much hyped Spielberg’s Avatar.

It is story of another planet with different kind of species (you can call them aliens). To get acquainted with the atmosphere of that planet, our humans have to get into the bodies of their corresponding avatars prepared from their own DNAs. A very advanced kind of science is shown. Story begins from here and goes up to the point where humans start hurting aliens for their own benefits and someone from humans tries to stop the massacre.Reminds you of Ramayan in between the scenes after interval.

Overall, it is a good movie and we were thrilled with action and sound effects. Worth that much hype. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Rating: 8/10

All these movies on big screen this year.

2012 – It was Sunday and we two movie freaks were out together for first time. We have been doing lot of movie discussions when together, giving recommendations, sharing liking and disliking, criticizing and discovering new genres. Finally we got chance and time to watch a movie to give our review comments at same time. It was Sangameshwar Yadagiri whose company was making it special.

2012 is about the end of world and what can be done to save most of the creatures. The possible disaster ending the world appears quite possible with strong scientific backing. After watching movie it turns out that it is not suggesting quite visible option to save the world when it is about saving only fraction of world for those people who are supposed to superior in power or brain and nothing about rest of the world. There were many open loopholes which made us dislike it at places. Quite and average movie opposite to the hype created around it.

Rating: 6/10

Kurbaan – Am not quite believer that this duo can cause a crack at box office but the specialty behind watching this movie was the last outing of we four room-mates together – it was already known to all of us. Treasured that evening like never before.

Kurbaan is on the background of 7/11 (same as Khuda Ke Liye and New York) and it has got some very close to life facts and at the same time, some very out of question points which makes it an average movie.

Rating: 7/10

Ninja Assassin – Second movie with Sam and it was fun as well. Another action masterpiece from the creators of Matrix.

Rating: 8/10

While You Were Sleeping – Another recommendation from Sunshine and as usual, turned out to be the best. Must watch if you believe in love and luck. This combination of Love and Luck always makes me recall Serendipity – best in this category.

Rating: 8/10

Another recommendation from Sunshine is in progress – Sleepless in Seattle. Sure it will turn out to be good as well.

Tonight is for Kaminey…

Philadelphia targets many contradictory social beliefs and realities, trying to justify few good and few really bad social criticisms and finally ending with a wonderful note on humanity. Initially it is Denzel Washington who rocks as small time lawyer and then it is turn of Tom Hanks to hypnotize you through his performance in his attempt to convince you on all the points he wants to justify.

A great movie with couple of flaws on completely ignoring social values of laws.

Rating: 5/10
