The Namesake



The Namesake, a novel adaptation. A peculiar story beautifully executed. Drags a little, takes a little long to build up, but when it does, it ends beautifully. Irrfan Khan and Tabu at their best. A good movie, overall.

Got no major complaints about this one. Watch this one to unwind, and you won't be disappointed.

My Rating- 3/5

Half Nelson




Half Nelson, a no nonsense, light movie that tries to depict some glimpses of abstraction through the representation of parallel story lines of the movie. The movie isn't very straight-forward therefore it will require some interpretation and that's actually something good. Abstract movies are like prisms, splitting a single beam of an idea so that it can be viewed in different shades of perspectives.

Half Nelson is an example of independent cinema, where the idea isn't decorated by too much commercial make-up and is presented in a simple and true form. Despite being a low budget film, it's a well-made film.

So yeah, HN. Light. No-nonsense. And most importantly, not boring.

My Rating- 2.5/5
