Agneepath [2012]

I think making a remake of a movie is one of the biggest challenge in movie making. You're already over shadowed by a movie that has made a mark and to make the same movie that manages to stand out unique is tough indeed. But there are certain attempts that surely hit the bull's eye, if not all of them.

Welcome to Agneepath again. Presenting our very own Hrithik Roshan, as the angry young man who did not seem pretentious at all despite of acting in a movie that was supposed to be pretentious.

This movie is entirely Hrithik's who delivers the sheer intensity of the role merely by the look in his eyes, he's that explosive.

The movie is long, but manages to weave a tight story. Therefore, not even once does the story lag.

You're gripped as you yourself will feel the rage, the vengeance and the fiery emotions depicted in this saga.

We finally have our first good movie of 2012. And it gives me hope, that the mayan calendar lies. We still have years of quality cinema ahead of us.

Don't. Miss. This. One.

My rating- 4/5

PS- I repeat. Bollywood is fortunate to have an actor like Hrithik Roshan. Yep.

And yes, Piggy chops is not noticeable but I absolutely loved her. She's the apple of my eye. Whattodo.

Soundtrack [2011]

Soundtrack, a movie that was not really advertised or hyped. Just released and was forgotten in no time. A movie belonging to the class of meager-budgeted movies.

The movie is different just because even though it tells a usual story, but does manage to add an element of inspiration to conclude it. The movie's based on true story, however the way in which it is depicted does not seem very real. It is inspired from a Canadian movie which claims to be a true story too. That's why it's so fishy to believe it. Anyhow..

In accordance with my spoiler free policy, I won't tell you what the movie is about. All I can say is that it's a decent movie, with decent music and something that could inspire those creative souls.

My rating- 2.5/5

Chaalis Chaurasi [2011]

Every year there's a class of non-mainstream movies, which try to strike an artistic chord, separate from the commercial class of cinema. I like to watch such movies. Cinematic-ally they might lack a lot of things, but they surely showcase ideas that try to stand out without the commercial nurturing. "My friend pinto" was one such movie that released last year and I loved the movie.

Chaalis Chaurasi is again a movie from the similar class. However, it falls short due to many reasons, a poor screenplay, complex story progression and a lot of time wasted in setting up the story. I won't even say that the movie is bad. It saves itself by the end and ends up being a not-so-bad movie which is not good. I hope you understand what I mean.

The only thing to admire in this movie is the way a story is conceived. The movie also manages to throw in an element of thrill and grips you at certain moments. Another thing to admire is Mr Shah and his fetish for item girls.

You can skip this one. But watch it only if you want to see a movie that is not good but ends up being a not-so-bad movie with a story that's surely worth a hear.

My rating- 1.75/5

PS- My first movie of 2012. This can look more better ya know. Oh thou kind Lord of Cinema bless the world with good movies before we reach our Mayan-governed end.
