PDVD-RIP Torrent Download(693 MB)


Starring: Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif.

Music and BGM : A R Rahman

Plot:

The basic story is about the treasure hidden underneath the sea. This was when the treasure was on its way to India from Britain after India got Independence. Akshay Kumar is a business man and owns the Blue Fisheries and Shipping company. Sanjay Dutt works under him. Lara Dutta plays his love interest. Zayed Khan is Sanjay Dutt's younger brother and is based in Bangkok and is a bike racer. He fails in an assignment given to him by Rahul Dev and owes him $50 million. Zayed returns to Bahamas as his life is under danger. He is traced to Bahamas by Rahul Dev and his henchmen. Akki, Sanjay and Zayed then decide to retrieve the treasure from sunken Indian Navy ship Lady in Blue to pay off Rahul. The film has Katrina Kaif in special appearance as Zayed's love interest, it turns out later that she is Akshay's wife.

Perfomances:

Akki is good. Sanjay Dutt looks faded-out. He looks aged but is okay. Zayed is fine. He was as he is in his previous films. Not much change in the scope of acting. Lara dutta becomes important in the climax of the film. Surprise pack is Katrina Kaif and shez awesome. Rahul Dev is adequate.

Technical aspects:

One needs to have lots of guts to produce this movie of huge budget of 120 crores!! First mention is about Photography. Its of the first rate. Right from the starting of the film its awesome. The under water beauty is captured very well. Its splendid I say. You would see such work only in Hollywood flicks. Taking is stylish and you'll remember about The Deep and such genre movies after you watch this. BGM by A R Rahman stands out. Its very good. Editing is crisp. Direction is adequate for a debut.

Analysis:

First half is a bit slow but good. The tempo picks up in the second half. Certain action scenes have started off very well but the ending was stupid. They could have been better.

Bottom line:

Such kind of movies have never been made in Indian Cinema. Go watch it only on big screen for the photography effects!! Don't wait for a DVD.

Wake Up Sid movie review


My Rating: 3.5/5

PDVD torrent Download ( 700 MB )

Story:

Siddhardh aka Sid (Ranabir Kapoor) is an youngster who is on the verge of completing graduation. He is the son of billionaire industrialist. His father wants him to join in his company. But Sid is a lazy guy who caught up with his own world. During his graduation farewell party he meets Aisha (Konkana Sen Sharma) who comes from another city in search of job. She is seven years elder to him. They become thick friends. When Sid fails in the final year, his father scolds him. Sid leaves his home and starts staying in Aisha's place. The rest of the story is all about how he overcome's the laziness and straightens his life to become independent.

Performance:

Ranbir Kapoor is great. And Konkana was too good. She was gorgeous. Anupam Kher delivered yet another very good performance as a strict father.Others are adequate.

Technical departments:

Music is too good and is in sync with the theme of the movie. Cinematography is adequate. Editing is perfect. May be some cutting was needed in the second half. On a whole, its decent. First half is crisp, sharp and good. Second half was a bit lengthy but ignorable.

Tailpiece:

Go watch it. I would highly recommend this matured flick.!!

Mahathma Movie review

My rating: 2.5/5

Much hyped release 'Mahathma' which is Srikanth's 100th film by number, not by release has been released on 9th Oct. Let's see how this flick is....

Plot:

Briefly to say the story is about a goon living in a basti who gets inspired by Gandhi's principles and follows non-violence. No other point is there in the story.

Performances:

Srikanth: Being his 100th film, he has put that extra effort which is clearly shown. But I feel that the intensity which was there in Khadgam was missing in this flick. But he carried the entire movie on his shoulder's.

Bhavana: One wonders what she has got to do with the story. She is only present to give bail to release the protagonist whenever he is booked in a case and a couple of songs. Neither she is glamorous or does with the skin show. Her character is immature. She is a negative point of the film.

Others such as Jayaprakash reddy is fine as villian. No comedy track. Some interlude dialogues provide some relief. Ram Jagan stands out with his historic get-ups. He is good. Rest are adequate.

Technical Departments:
Music especially BGM stands out. Editing is horrible. Cinematography is good in parts. Two songs are damn good. Screenplay is not that good. There are many loopholes in the story. Discussing those here is a mere waste of time. You don't find a typical Krishna Vamsi style in the direction. He lost his touch. Direction is like a newcomer's. One really wonders whether KV is the director or not. The less you talk about this much better.

Analysis:
First half is okay. The tempo goes down in the latter half. Overall the director failed to tell effectively the Gandhian principles. He could have made it like 'Lage raho Munnabhai'. But he added unnecessary masala elements to it and diluted the story.

Tailpiece:
You can safely avoid this flick. If you still wanna go, its at your risk just to kill time.

Night at the Museum 2 movie review


My rating : 3.5/5

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (known outside of North America as Night at the Museum 2), is a 2009 American comedy film and the sequel to the 2006 adventure comedy film Night at the Museum.

It was released in cinemas on May 22, 2009.

Two years after Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) defeated the three night guards that plotted to steal The Tablet, he is now head of Daley Devices, a company that he founded to manufacture his inventions. These inventions, including the Glow-in-the-Dark Flashlight, the Unloseable Keyring, and the Oversized Dogbone, were created from his experiences as a former night guard. Upon revisiting, he finds that the American Museum of Natural History is closed for upgrades and renovations, and some of the museum pieces are being replaced by interactive holograms due to budget costs. The actual exhibits are due to be moved to the Federal Archives at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. On the last night, Larry reconnects with his museum exhibit friends and finds out that several exhibits, including Theodore, Rexy, The Easter Island Head (Brad Garrett), and good Pharaoh Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek) and his Tablet are not moving to the Smithsonian Institution - without the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, the other exhibits will no longer be animated, something which Teddy has not told them so they can enjoy their last night. The next night, Larry gets a call from Jedediah (Owen Wilson), saying that Dexter stole the tablet last midnight and evil Pharaoh Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria), Ahkmenrah's older brother, is attacking them. Larry goes to Washington and visits the National Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Castle to find The Federal Archives with the help of his son Nick Daley (Jake Cherry).

The rest of the movie deals with how Larry gets back the tablet with many interesting plots happening which should be watched on the screen.

Larry is rehired at the museum as the night guard so as to watch over the rest of his friends, and meets a young woman who looks just like Amelia. The film concludes as they talk and walk off as Larry guides her toward the hall of miniatures. Jedediah and Octavius then fly by in a miniature airplane. During the credits, a man from a black and white photo of V-J day in Times Square is seen examining Larry's Blackberry cell phone, which Larry left in the photo, and makes a new discovery (for his time period). His mother calls him, and it is revealed that his name is Joey Motorola.

The movie is as good as its prequel. Its definitely worth a watch!!!
