the pictures above tell you loud and clear about the various new releases i watched.
the 1st movie(rajneeti)
director Prakash Jha has indeed made a multidimensional political tale revolving around the dirty game of politics. to start with we have naseruddin shah who leads a political party against the then strong politician..he has in his party, the strong politicians daughter supporting him..the professional support soon turns into a personal one leading to the birth of ajay devgan.....its obvious.....so no i did not state the climax.......then the movie moves to all the kids of Bharti( i do not know her name), her husband, her brother in law and from there politics start..........manoj bajpai cleverly tries to gain his fathers trust but in vain.....arjun rampal and his father gets the entire party to handle...so obviously it is not well digested by manoj bajpai....ranbir kapoor who comes just for a holiday to celebrate his uncle's birthday slowly and steadily gets involved in the venomous game and also ajay devgan at about the same time.....then family politics start and the family begins to tear apart with manoj and ajay on one side and ranbir and arjun on the other......katrina who plays a little insignificant role in the beginning gains a little importance in the middle of the film when just for the financing of the party ranbir forces katrina against her wishes to marry arjun....then comes the interval....after that ruthless bloodshed followed by broken hearts gain impetus. everyone begin to fall out just like the game of chess that ranbir plays,almost throughout the movie. finally when there is no one left katrina becomes the political leader......the end.........
all in all the movie in its first half was extremely crisp and did make sense. after the interval it lost its charm. because at the rate ranbir was nailing so many coffins it looked like he would be the sole survivor. i mean you cannot go on a rampant killing and get out of it so easily as he did. plus the end was hurried off with katrina campaigning here and there. nana patekar's dialogue delivery with a smile all throughout showed the amazing acting skills that came from within him. all the actors did justice to their roles so maybe if the movie lost out on ratings it is only because prakash jha failed to maintain the charm till the end.........
the 2nd movie(sex and the city 2)
director Michael Patrick king has forgotten one thing that you should age with grace and not focus more on getting young or for that matter stylish....er hideously stylish..Sarah Jessica parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis. the four facelifted friends.......i hope you understand why face lifted.
the factitious look they potrayed just made them look over the top.
the film was just a farce. well the story revolved completely around abu dabi , a dry desert. the story line was tolerable, thats like the only thing i liked in the film.Chris Noth hardly had any part to play in it...so cannot really decide whether he was good. Penelope Cruz was a treat to the eye or i must i say " a saving grace" to the old looking film. i guess the actors have become either self obsessed or too old to really act in films and yes it very clearly shows.
the only thing i like about the 1st and the 2nd part is the strong bond among the 4 friends.thats all that is worth watching.............................
3rd movie(the karate kid)
the best of the 3.
director Harold Zwart has very well shown the bond that forms between an unlikely Kung Fu teacher and his his equally unlikely student. Jaden Smith has definitely inherited his acting skills from his father Will Smith. the character Dre Parker has been well crafted and tailored and Jaden Smith was befitting the role. his mother Sherri Parker played by Taraji Henson also gave justice to her role. Jackie Chan though old was still undeniably fit and swift in his role as a kung fu teacher.....the story involved around a boy who was constantly bullied by his class mates and thus awakened in him the desire to fight back and conquer his fears.......
the entire journey of Dre parker from being a feeble boy to a well trained kung fu student keeps you gripped till the last match where he emerges victorious. i guess the message given through the film is"try and try till you succceed" and "fear is just a state of the mind".......its a nice pleasant movie.......worth the ticket money..............
