Saagari
After a long time, saw a horror film. An average movie about a soul which possesses a living being in order to take revenge of it's own untimely death. But direction is gripping, and the movie does indeed scare a bit. Worth watching. Interspersed with good humour.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge
Average. Mediocre story line. Dry humour. To an extent, instilled with morality. Time pass.

Revolutionary Road
The Titanic couple - DiCaprio and Winslet pair up again as an American estranged couple in this movie set in 1950s. Its kinda average movie but exceptional acting by both the lead parts. Most characters are psychos in the movie and there definitely is no feel-good factor about this movie. You'd rather have it end it sooner than when it actually does.

The Informant
Pretty good movie about a whistle-blower in an agricultural industry who gets into deep waters of corporate politics and, lo and behold, FBI! Strangely, a true story.

The Ugly Truth
Wow! Very nice movie but definitely not for kids! Curiously and simply funny and very entertaining to watch two skilled opposite gender people go at one another on one topic. Full of catchy dialogue.

Malibu Spring Break
Pathetic. Just goes to show that the wordings on the back side of a DVD should never be the reason to watch a movie. Absolutely no stuff in the movie.

The Hangover
"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" is best portrayed in this hilarious movie about 3 guys who go to Vegas along with the groom for Bachelor's Party. Rated R for adultish content.

Gran Torino
I guess its just me but I kinda dont get to like Clint Eastwood's movies. I didnt like Million dollar baby nor this. Its made well, nice story and all that but didnt feel any 'wow' factor.

Morning Walk
A very homely (Hindi) movie about Indian middle class but it revolves more around the dad of the house (Anupam Kher). It seemed engaging in the beginning but lost out in the latter part.

My Name is Khan
Surprised my wife with a Valentine gift of ticket to this movie!
A good story of how innocent Muslims were treated post 9/11 in US but kinda sloppy direction at times. Some scenes could have been edited to be made more gripping. Shahrukh's role resembles Dustin's role in Rainman.

Ratatouille
Not a great movie. Watchable for the uniqueness of the story line. Of course, good animation.

Arasu
A kannada movie that was aired on the Volvo bus to Chennai. Really pathetic in the beginning but metamorphed into some decency by the time movie ended, especially because of a different ending.

Khosla ka Ghosla
A Hindi movie. Pretty nice. Some very good dialogues. Whole story revolves around a father's cherished plot of land and the son's wishes to fly to New York. Very well taken.

Pokiri
A Telugu movie and no subtitles. But still could make out the story line and some one-line dialogues. Watchable once.

3 Idiots
Unofficially, based out of the theme created in the book 'Five Point Someone' by Chethan Bhagat but to be fair to the screenplay and direction, an excellent adaptation to the mainstream cinema. If FPS was good, 3I is better. It conveys a lot of messages like success follows excellence, knowledge and application is more important than rote learning, etc.
Rating: Must-see
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
Sequel to Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. Not very funny. Of course, ridiculous imagination and story line, like the prequel. And, definitely, not a movie for the children.
