Migration

An animated movie with the daughter on a lazy Saturday! This movie was good, actually, some witty scenes and dialog. The animation was fabulous with all the great colors of Jamaica, the plot twisting and turning, but once or twice I felt the birds were venturing into places where there really was no need to. Nevertheless, a good watch. 

Rating: Good

Lucky Baskhar

Saw a con movie after a long. I really love con movies. And this one's right up there! From first scene to last, it is edge-of-seat thriller, making the audience always think pessimistically while, well, Baskhar turns out lucky! Superb narration, great acting and casting. Setting up the 1990s Bombay is as much real as one could. If one has seen (Harshad Mehta's strategy in) Scam 1992, they can relate more easily. It also reminded me of Swordfish, a movie I had seen perhaps in my teens.

MAD Square

 The ROFL continues from prequel. While MAD was based on college premises, MAD Square is based on a wedding and the comedy of errors due to friends' interventions. Again, excellent direction, super humour and extremely witty. Certain inconsequential scenes also filled with full of mirth. Great way to pass a lazy Sunday!
