A story of a lazy Sunday afternoon when a friend and I were thinking about Bollywood. And of food.. And decided to combine both. This is just a list of our fav Bollywood movies, let us know what are yours! :)
For starters, - Wake Up Sid - Hindi Medium - Andhadhun
For main course, - Kapoor & Sons - Raazi - Mughal-e-Azam - Taare Zameen Par - Pagglait - English Vinglish
And to finish off with dessert, - Welcome - Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Robert Pattinson undoubtedly does a great job at portraying the internal turmoil of Bruce Wayne, but the source of all the chaos in the movie isn't very inventive. Despite Anne Hathaway and Michael Caine having a permanent place in my heart as Catwoman and Alfred, the new versions played by Zoe Kravitz and Andy Serkis are convincing too.
What sets Hridayam apart from many other coming of age films, is the amount of closure it strives for, by giving importance to scenes and characters who would otherwise fade into the background. And with a musical score that feels as fresh as the morning sun, this is an overall good film about life, and the lessons it teaches us.
I watched Gehraiyaan and.. it motivated me to make a YOU-EFFIN-TUBE video!! WTF!! It was a good movie about moral ambiguity and undefinable gray shades. Which is a rarity for Indian cinema! Watch the review at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Neo-snRRnEM too! SOOO NERVOUSSSSS
A refreshing fun and grounded superhero movie and a superhero I'm definitely rooting for! #Franchise please!!
I recently started venturing more regularly into other language cinema and Kumbalangi Nights is a gem of a movie I found through branching out! Do listen and let me know if I have missed any of the many beautiful subtexts in the movie and if you have other such suggestions for me to watch!
