If Only

If Only qualifies to be a chick flick but I won’t let the movie down because of this. Some Chick Flicks are honest as they even depict the masculine side of the story. I can call If Only a chick flick for the man too.

Technically, the screen play is very neat. Even in a short duration the movie tends to give you some very beautiful moments. The movie does not go the cliché-overly-unrealistic way like PS I Love You but ends up being a love story that is lovable.

So yeah, If Only- A chick flick, even for the man.

My Rating- 3/5

The Girl Next Door

Chick Flicks. They’re clichéd, overly sweet and perfect in an unreal way.

The girl next door is all the above things and more. Emile Hirsch plays the chocolatey young boy with real conviction, the plot is clichéd but the screenplay saves it for the movie. The story packs in some turns on the way and does not end up being a usual chick flick but a chick flick with some difference.

You can watch this movie on a lazy afternoon when it’s too sunny outside and you’re too lazy even to take a nap.

My rating-2/5

Swades

I had to watch this movie, couldn't call myself a SRK fan without watching it and I'm glad I did. There's a reason that I am a SRK fan and will always be.

Swades is a simplistic story, that tries to communicate a lot of thoughts as it progresses.. It does it in a very simple and direct way. SRK is really at his best in this one. I wouldn't call the movie his best but yes, it definitely is one of his very special performances.

The only flaw is that the movie is too long. At 3 hour 15 minutes, you might give up waiting for the end. The story is good but every story should make an impact early or else it begins to drag and isn't as impactful as it should be.

All in all. SRK shines yet again and despite being a lengthy movie, Swades is a memorable movie that shall linger in your memory as a simplistic tale with a message to give.

My rating- 3/5

My Little Bride

This is the first Korean movie, I've ever seen. But even though I was constantly dependent on the subtitles   rolling below the screen, this movie didn't fail to make a connect with me. I can easily call this one of those genuinely cute movies I've ever seen.

The movie is a Romantic comedy in which there is a right proportion of both the elements. But most of all the movie, captures the beauty of innocence and that is what wins the heart.

Take a risk. Experiment. Watch this one, it's a downright lovely movie.

My rating -3/5

Lakshya

I feel very ashamed that I had missed this great movie. Even if you manage to watch it after 8 years, this movie is capable enough of winning your heart. To be frank, no one can really write a review about this master piece. To me, this movie is just perfect because it tells a story about war without emphasizing on the violent aspects of war itself.

Lakshya can undoubtedly be named as a best war movie ever, that's because it is not entirely based on the war itself. The movie views war and all the political turbulence from a very human perspective. The movie is not about blind patriotism. It's about the selfless love of soldiers towards the country, about how they secretly do not support war but are compelled to pick up weapons because of the sacred duty of protecting the nation.

The music of this movie can give you goosebumps and the cinematography is just fabulous. Hrithik Roshan is the man, and every one should watch this movie and make their children and grandchildren watch it too.

I give it a perfect 5 because I am a proud Indian who is anti-war and also because, after watching this movie, you'll know that the attainment of a Lakshya is like attainment of Buddha-hood.

My rating - 5/5

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

Another movie, yet another proof where "I'm late to the party". This awesome movie doesn't really need a review. It's already seen and appreciated by the world, check its rating on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. But I can't help but applaud the commendable and unique idea that this movie is an outcome of.

A unique idea or the subject is one dominating factor that can drive a movie to success, as other flaws start looking very insignificant in comparison to the mammoth of an idea being employed. I won't call this movie typically sci-fi as it is largely romantic too but I'll again repeat that one thing that won me. THE idea.

Narration in this movie, is very random and non linear but once you crack the confusing shell (which is not as confusing as Inception) , a beautiful brilliance will leave you spellbound. The movie never really lags as the randomness in screenplay keeps you digging the progression of the plot. A good movie and once again an epic idea.

My rating - 3.5/5
