Wow. What a movie! I could only say this when I saw the movie twice. I had to rewind and forward and rewind and forward the movie several times (on the same day) to truly soak in each scene of the movie, and appreciate the beauty of the direction and story. This is in the class of The English Patient, Life is Beautiful, Sadma and such movies that doesn’t deserve a single viewing. This one has mystery, romance, adventure and tragedy all packed into one solid punch. One really needs to see it on a system where dialogs and scenes can be heard back and forth at the viewer’s pleasure – not just once, like on the Big Screen. Many scenes seen during the first viewing makes complete sense when the movie is seen twice or even thrice. It is a movie (similar to the aforementioned movies) that completely gut-wrenched me and the hangover lasted for most of the next day. Very few movies touch me so much. And this is one of them. Truly top class!

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
A road trip by three friends in Spain. Three major sports chosen by each person. Each sport opens up a pent-up feeling in one of the friends each time. Nothing great about the movie, but not boring or avoidable. Worth a watch.

Ladies Vs Ricky Behl
A con movie. Not boring. Refreshing set of characters. Middle-class life portrayed well.

Housefull
A below average movie. Full of cheap jokes that doesn't have much humour. Pretty thin direction. Avoidable.

Aan Milo Sajna
Another typical old Hindi movie. Nice, clean dialog, simple but complicated romance, one villain and happy-ending climax.

Chup Chup Ke
Rajpal Yadav and Paresh Rawal. It is for them the movie has to be seen. And Priyadarshan's direction, of course. It is humorous, has good dialogs and interesting story twists.

Upkaar
Typical old movie about good son - bad son, and the bad son realizing his mistakes in the end. But this movie has a lot of patriotism thrown in. Also emphasizes the farmers duty to the land. Made me remember The Good Earth.

Jab Jab Phool Kile
Time pass. Standard love story of a low class man with a high class woman set against Kashmir's beautiful backdrop.

Aap Ki Kasam
Nothing great but nice in it's simplicity, as in all 1970 movies. First half is all happy-happy but latter half is all sad-sad. Some adulterous dialog in the middle surprised me though.
