The Holiday

An interesting rom-com tale about two broken hearted female strangers exchanging their houses across the continent to be away from their ex-s. What happens next is predictable for the Europe story - and hence it kinda gets boring. The American story is interesting though but finally winds its way through another predictable ending. Acting is not all that great but the tale is barely interesting enough to vouch for a watch once.

Finding Dory

After having enjoyed Finding Nemo, I always wanted to watch the sequel. And it is just as good as ever. The movie intertwines with Finding Nemo tale - how Dory was where she was and what she was doing and what she eventually does. In this case, it is about the 'daughter' fish trying to find her 'parents' fish. Very touching yet comical, not to mention beautifully scripted & animated - holds true for this sequel too.

Going the Distance

A very common problem faced by the Americans depicted very well in this tale as a rom com but the movie itself is not all that great. It gets boring midway, the casting doesn't seem that good too. The humour is very gross at times and totally avoidable. And so is the movie.

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana

A quirky turn of events from what starts off as a plain vanilla love story. The title is extremely misleading to what actually happens in the movie - because the bride runs away! The tale is very interesting and the main protagonists have acted their roles very well. The direction is good but there are some scenes which could have been kept clean and tidy. The ending becomes predictable and the story/director had to make something dramatic to make it interesting till the end. So, ending is not all that exciting but it is ok. But, the movie nevertheless is definitely worth a watch especially the middle portion.

Mera Naam Joker

Saw the movie in passing. Some nice dialogs and great songs. Editing could have been much better. Story is pretty much downhill all the way and not much of an entertainer. Avoidable.

Tumhari Sulu

A very nice middle-class family story. Pretty much everything is taken very well in terms of film-making: The setting, the family chores, the work tension, the bosses, the children's peer pressure in school, relatives' strangling, songs, etc. Movie goes wave-like from all-joy to all-sadness to joyfulness again. Excellent acting by everyone - from taxi driver to sisters to students to managers. Of course Vidya Balan is the fulcrum and she tops it as usual! Hats off to the director for the wholesome entertainer.

Qarib Qarib Singlle

Well, I am not sure if it was the movie or the ambience with which I saw it but it didn't impress me much. There were too many disturbances - cable TV cutting off and on, the voice wasn't coming out well, there were guests, etc. which kinda made the movie watching experience a complete turn-off. The story too didn't make much of an impact, at least the part that I understood - unless I misunderstood! Heroine seemed a newbie but excellent in acting. Locations were great. Watch it at your own risk!
