Wow! What a stunner! This one's one of the purest best! It starts off very calm and soothing and then the plot thickens and thickens, and intertwines and suddenly you will get a jerk midway through the movie, and then the jerks continue making you come to the edge of the seat, and that's how the movie can ultimately be tagged: And edge-of-the-seat comical thriller! Simply brilliant in narration, concept, direction, casting & acting. A definite must-watch.

Rocket
I somehow like Sathish Ninasam movie. This is the third movie I am seeing of his (Lucia and Kwatle Satisa being the other two), and I have liked all of them so far, including this. Rocket, although somewhat a misnomer, is a very refreshing tale much like Simple Agi Ondh Love Story which quite literally means a simple love story which is what this movie is all about. Dialog & screenplay is the star of this movie. Very entertaining and humorous. Sathish's acting also is very natural and captivating. The heroine too has done justice to the role. The dance & fight sequences although highly unnecessary has been made to fit in quite appropriately just to appeal to the idiotic masses. All in all, a good entertainer, great casting & wonderful direction!

Always wanted to watch this movie since a long time because it had won so many awards. At one point even started to view but scenes were too fuzzy, non-HD, and just didn't feel like it. But today went through with it in entirety. It was enjoyable at the beginning - with the pristine village-ish language, tale, character, costume, etc. But after sometime it became kind of predictable and not-so-worth a watch. Not sure why these kind of movies get so many awards all the time. Better off avoiding it.

To be honest, I didn't have plans to watch this movie with the daughter. Idea was for her to see this and wifey & me to see something else. But when this movie started, it somehow caught the attention and stayed so till the very end. The animation is awesome, the characterization is good, humor is in abundance & story is captivating. So, we were better off watching this movie than anything else! Well worth it!

Mission Mangal
A top-class movie that breaks down a real-world complex space project into a beautifully explained common-man story with the right amount of science, family-life and humour. Add to this the element of 'true-story' and it is a corker of a tale! And also add some 'Indian masala' as well! Vidya Balan is awesome, as always! That scene of her making poori is super, especially when she says 'SIr, you take over' to her boss! Great job done by the director in architecting it all & his entire crew (casting, cinematography, screenplay, location, story, music, etc.) for taking it beautifully and gracefully over the finish line. A very satisfying watch!

Started off like 3 Idiots but then it veered off to parentage. And then it moved back to college days and finally settled down as a sports movie! Quite a spectrum of emotions covered and full kudos to what the director has pulled off in this quite an important topic. In addition to the emotions, he has also brought in real-world experiences of a person moving from high-school grads to college grads to professional adults. Well worth a watch!
