KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK - Review

Directed by : Vijay Lalwani

This week we have KCK directed by Vijay Lalwani. I would say that slowly Indian directors are daring to touch THRILLER stories. And this one is worth a viewer’s money.

This is a story of Karthik, who I would say is a looser. Nothing is exciting in his life, no friends; even most of the people of his office don’t know him. Whose boss always scolds him. A poor fellow. Somehow on his birthday he gets a call. It was he, himself who called. Here starts exciting journey of Mr.Karthik. What happens next is the thing you need to watch.

Story is really gripping. Last time a good thriller hindi movie I saw was, Johney Gaddar and now this one. Story line does not go off the track for a single time. It successfully holds viewer. The music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is also good.

As far as performances are concern Mr.Akhtar deserves applause for portraying Karthik very effectively. The body language needed for this character was perfect. Miss.padukone has done good job as Karthik’s love interest. Ram kapoor was also good as a rude boss.

But the movie only belongs to Mr.Akhtar and the Director. As a first time director he has treated the story very well.

A worth watching this weekend. (I may be over rating but I just love Good Thrillers.)

And don’t compare this with any Hollywood flick.

Rating : 7 out of 10.

My Name Is KHAN- review

directed by : KARAN JOHAR

The most awaited and marketed and controversial movie has arrived. As there is lots of stuff talked about this movie so I would simply present my view on this movie.

It true that i have never seen SHAH RUKH KHAN this way, probably by far the strogest character portrayed by him is RIZWAN KHAN of this movie.His facial expressions, body language was perfect for this character. He has put his all blood and sweat for his role.he was convincing in a character of a person with some mental disease.KAJOL was good as usual. the more importantly the pair has still the charm alive on screen.

story-line is good and convincing for all kind of audience. music of Shankar-Ehsaan-loy is mesmerizing.KARAN JOHAR has tried something different this time and has succeeded.his old style can be also seen in some sequences but that doesn't harm to movie.

overall a very good movie with some very STRONG MESSAGES and some great performances by lead pair.A delight to watch for all.

rating : 7.5 out of 10

THE WOLFMAN- review

 STARRING: Benecio DelToro , Anthony Hopkins

Movie featuring some of the best actors like DelToro and Hopkins would have to be something different but here for The Wolfman its nothing new who have seen movies on ‘werewolves’ apart from visuals and sound effects.

This is the story of a men who was called back by his brother’s wife when his brother gets disappear. So he(DelToro) goes back to his town to find his brother but when he reaches he found that his brother is already dead. When inquired, he found that his brother was killed by some kind of monster, a monster who appears under full moon. His father (Hopkins) suggests him to go back to London but he denies and tries to find out the truth.

On his way to find the truth he got bitten by the monster (Werewolf) and he got cursed by werewolf. He finds that he has also become werewolf after bitten by werewolf. This way things goes and at the end he kills the werewolf because of whom he got that curse.

While watching the movie I don’t find the wolfman itself creepy or scary nor there was much bloodbath like other movies on werewolf. DelToro tries very hard to portray the wolfman but I don’t find him up to the mark. Anthony Hopkins was Good as usual.

The director has not created the The Wolfman much scary apart from a few sequences which were good enough to scare the audience. The story itself does not have strong hold.

So apart from a sincere attempt by DelToro and good performance by Hokins movie turns out to be average.

Watch if one has never seen movies on werewolves.

Rating : 5 out 10.

sherlock holmes

folks, the greatest detective world has ever known - sherlock holmes, a character that has scaled our imaginations all these years comes to the screen now. the expectations are high. and the movie deals with them thoroughly. i wont say its the best effort for the holmes character but it doesnt let it down either. robert downey has played the character pretty well. jude law is in his usual flamboyance too. dark treatment imparted by guy ritchie to this movie in order to boost the voodoo element as well as the old england era is appreciable. on top of that, the musical score is by hans zimmer - the person responsible for outstanding pieces in gladiator, pirates of the carribbean, black hawk down. i think, the main area where the movie scores is its pace. there is not a single lull spell providing the audience a lot to think over and imagine.

whether it be the fast camera movement of the chases or the slow motion during fights and explosions, its sits pretty comfortably on the viewer's eye.

the movie will have a sequel as the story is left wide open. this being a nice piece of art, my hopes are much higher for sherlock holmes - 2.
