Madhwacharya

Story depicted on the life and works of Madhwacharya. Today being Madhwa Navami, it seemed the right day to see this movie to know more about him. The movie wasn't all that great but the life of the great saint is a wonder indeed. Considering the time at which the movie was made (1980s), it is still astounding to see some scenes such as how a flower blooms right from seed to fulfillment, how men walk on the snow barefooted in the Himalayas, some astounding Sanskrit dialog delivery for long durations, etc. Watchable once to know the great saint - and how he single-handedly fought the Advaitha philosophy.

Wow, what a movie! This one was mind-blowing in terms of the philosophical angle that it portrayed. The movie very closely relates to many spiritual leaders thoughts and sayings that I have heard - about how time is the only unit of measure, about how the very source of creation is within each human being (which is what Lord Krishna told Arjuna and showed the Vishwaroopa Darshan), how we can become conscious of every single thing on earth - like feeling blood flowing in our veins, the roots of a tree, rotation of the Earth, etc. Scarlett Johansson is superb in her role. Good story (although too much of violence than what was necessary), excellent direction, awesome screenplay and intelligent dialog (especially Morgan Freeman's script). Saw the movie twice within a span of 3 days. Definitely a must-watch.

Puh-lease. This movie makes American cops look like nincompoops. Storyline goes from nice to nicer to oho to what, really? to worse and then it is downhill all the way. The only saving grace was Kangana - she is as good as she was in Queen. Otherwise - this one scores poor in story, narration, mindless chase-climax and even the title which has little or no inkling to the character.
