MovieReview:Cheeni Kum(☼☼☼☼)
Film Cast : Amitabh Bachchan, Tabu, Zohra Seghal. Swini Khara, Paresh RawalMusic: Illayaraja
Direction: R.Balakrishnan
Story Theme: She is 34 and he is 64 and story revolves around age factor and how their marriage is accepted by girl's father.
Likes : This story made lots of sense compared to recent Jiah Khan against Amitab of movie Nishabd.Tabu looks older than 34 and Amitabh looked younger than 64 which made chemistry between these two actors seamlessly natural in this flick.I like the introductions of Tabu and Amitab.Tabu's portrait of a Hyderbadi origin was introduced with Hyderabadi subtlety and yes it is true no other place in world can copy the taste of Hyderabadi zalfrani pulav. Amitab's introduction as angry old man suits his past angry young man stature. Dialogues are way natural in either comedy or emotional scenes.The little girl has lots of future and her character shows the caring nature of 64 old Amitabh.The scenes where which character (little girl or Tabu) takes precedence (Hospital scene where Amitab thrashes developed world not finding cure for blood cancer , Last emotional scene to touch the hands at the pillar site for little girl) in Amitab's life is directed marvelously by Balki. For all those movie criers there are tons of emotional drama that one and only one Amitabh can do. Though short in character Paresh Rawal did has best by portraying himself as Gandhiyawadhi.Songs are goos in the background and not to mention that as music is from Illayaraja
Dislikes : I felt bit of drag in the movie of Amitab convincing Paresh ravel to marry Tabu. What made Paresh rawal accept Amitab as Son-In-Law is not directed effectively.Comedy track is offbeat some times.
Overall a good movie to watch.

MovieReview:Nishabd (☼☼☼)
Movie Name : NishabdMy Rating : ☼☼☼
Genre: Drama
Director: Ram Gopal Varma
Film Cast: Vijay (Amitabh Bachhan),Jia (Jiah Khan),Amrutha (Revathi), Sridhar (Nasser), Ritu (Shradha Arya) and Rishi (Aaftab Shivdasani)
Story : Vijay (age - 60) falls in love with his daughter's friend Jia (age - 18).The movie revolves around how social norms when broken creates complex family situations with wife , daughter and his friend.
Picture to left (courtesy Wiki).
Likes : The movie locations (reported in IMDB as Munnar,Kerla) are very good and camera man's picturisation showed the eye of photographer justifying the role of Amitabh in the movie as the fashion photographer.I like the way Ritu (Amitabh's daughter) clarifies Jia (Ritu's friend), the common misconception that photographers in India are seen as wedding or events photographers - projecting his dad as pro photographer does for fashion and hobby.The screenplay is good where the movie is built on how Vijay falls for his photography subject(Jia) when Jia wets herself with water.Young at heart but aging character instincts was nicely acted by Amitabh specially the one laughing scene at dining when Jia tickles him and grieving scene when news was revealed to the family.Jia's role as careless free going teenager whose troubled past made her looks rightly suited for the role.Isn't she looks like Manisha Koyirala in some angles ? I felt so at many instances probably my 1942-a love story, Manisha photo print in my brain.
Dislikes : It is not Ramu's type of movie.All his previous action/drama hit subject movies worked with mere words and more expressions.I felt the message of Jia's infatuation and Amitabh's love was not conveyed properly or not directed as effectively and these stories are against to social norms and difficult to absorb.More dialogues with minimal expressions might have given some relief.Revathi's role is minimized and should have given some weight at least some feelings of her role as Vijay's wife.
