Being a bhansali movie it had all the usual ingredients.Melodrama,awe-inspiring cinematography,beautifully choreographed dance sequences,stunning color schemes, costumes and the grand-bhansali-touch . Also very unlike bhansali cheesy and double meaning dialogues.Sadly the part missing was a script that despite being melodramatic still somehow remains realistic something that is missing from his last few movies.Supriya pathak and richa show us once again how good actors they are but its ranveer-deepika who steal the show. Although over the top at times they do complete justice to script provided with great on screen chemistry. If not for anything watch it for deepika who is somehow turning into a great performer and not just an actress added to the starcast for being beautiful.

Samir reviewed Gravity
A time when every other movie is made in 3-D just so to catch up with the trend without any need we have something special.I never thought i would see a movie utilizing 3-D and CGI better than Life Of Pi but then Alfonso Cuarón had something else in mind.Straightforward plot,Excellent music and good acting keeps you engaged till the very end.Clooney is superb in his short stint. A big salute to the director for his imagination and entire team for creating a visual masterpiece.Watch it and experience it.

Samir reviewed Kick-Ass 2
Almost everyone I know loved the first installment because of being unique,clever and funny and its sequel (especially second half) missed almost every ingredient.The movie continues from where the first part ended .There isn't much of a story and frankly i wasn't expecting much but it was sad that the unique blend of humor,drama & well-choreographed action sequence with awesome soundtrack was missing.
The first half is as close as it gets to the brilliance of first part.It hit us hard when Big Daddy died but here you don't feel a thing even when major characters are decapitated.The only savior is Chloë Grace Moretz aka "Hit Girl" whose character goes one-notch ahead and so does she,Chris D'Amico provided the much needed humor but Aaron Taylor-Johnson(Kick-Ass) looked rusty add to that Jim Carrey having not more than 6 scenes and all you get is Disappointment.Hopefully next part serves better.

Quentin Tarantino at his brilliant best.The movie is 2 hours 45 min long but every single moment will keep u at the edge of ur seat and eyes glued on the screen.The plot revolves around a slave turned bounty hunter trying to rescue his wife from Calvin Candie with the help of Dr.King.I can easily divide the movie in three parts-
First Part belongs to Christopher Waltz(Dr.King),his character made on the lines of Jules is as Bad-Ass as one can get.I loved him in Inglorious Basterds and this time he goes one notch ahead.
Second Part belongs to Leonardo Di Caprio (Calvin Candie) who is brutal, vicious,ruthless and terrifying as the antagonist .
And Just when u start thinking that Django's character is not at level to these two there is the Epic Climax with Jamie.L.Fox stealing the show.
Samuel L Jackson as the sly old man and all other characters even small ones like Big Daddy fitting perfectly in their roles are just cherry on top of the cake.Its brutal,bolldy and hillarious with an awesome soundtrack in the traditional Tarantino Style.A MUST MUST watch .

Samir reviewed Friends
I am sorry that i use references from FRIENDS all the time but i am more sorry that you don't get them.People who have watched the show know what i am talking about and for ignorant souls its a sitcom following the lives of 6 young people living in Manhattan.FRIENDS is the only show that never gets old ,it doesn't matter you are watching for the first or the billionth time.There are many factors that makes it One of the best TV shows ever made.
>CHARACTERS- One of the biggest positive of the show is it gives you characters that grows on you characters you fall in love with and characters whom life you start to care about.Mind you, I am not just referring to main characters even small characters like Gunther or Estelle or Heckles,everyone fits perfectly.
>HUMOR- One of the biggest drawbacks of a sitcom is that usually after a few seasons humor becomes monotonous and boring but hats off to the directors for maintaining the humor quotient for 10 seasons.Every episode has decent amount of humor and most of the episodes are just hilarious.
>MAIN CAST- Its hard to create 6 characters that people love equally.Talking about other sitcoms,if you change the stars apart from Sheldon in BBT ,Barney in HIMYM show will still work because everyone else contributes very little comparatively to the show being a huge success.But you take anyone out of FRIENDS show won't work.Everyone plays their part so perfectly as if they were born to play Monica, Chandler, Joey, Ross,Rachel and Phoebe.

Acting wise David Schwimmer,Mathew Perry and Lisa Kudrow standout but the GOD of SARCASM Chandler Bing will remain as my favourite TV character of all time.Its hard to describe further in words as you have to watch it to live it.If you haven't watched FRIENDS yet,Leave whatever you are doing and watch it.STRICTLY RECOMMENDED

PS- Sheldon and Penny in BBT.
(sighs) PENNY PENNY PENNY.

Samir reviewed Kai Po Che!
Very seldom u come across movies that entertains you but still manages to penetrate ur heart and leave u with a feeling when u walk out of theater. Kai Po Che is undoubtedly one of the best movie of the year and a serious contender for next year awards.
Adapting from Chetan Bhagat's bestseller 3 Mistakes of My Life ,Abhishek kapoor hardly deviates from it (except for 1 or 2 places) but still manages to pack a punch and manages to create a thrilling climax even when you know what's gonna happen .The genius of Abhishek Kapoor reflects from the simple fact that how equally well he handled lighthearted scenes where friends are goofing around and intense riots scenes and that too with a completely new star cast.
Actingwise Rajkumar Yadav acted brilliantly like his previous roles,amit sadh looked amateur in the start but his acting skills picked up with the movie.For me the surprise element were Sushant Singh and Manav Kaul. There was an inherent charm and confidence in Sushant's performance (I despise that guy for the overhyped PAVITRA RISHTA) and Manav Kaul was just like a magician at work with a brilliant portrayal of Mamaji. Regarding Amrita Puri WOW!!! GOOSEBUMPS!!!;)
And Last but not the least all the credits to Amit Trivedi and Hitesh sonic for a mesmerizing music and background score. Amit Trivedi is going to be the next Rehman. Period .
An honest movie with friendship at the core of its heart !!! Strictly Recommended !!!

Special Chhabis- 8.6/10

Despite the fact that it is one of the most intelligently scripted and directed movie of all times,special chhabis will not be in my TOP 5.I think enough has been said about how the movie was great and how everyone acted brilliantly and every single soul on the cast and crew deserves that too so i'll talk about what spoiled my taste
>Unnecessary couple of songs
>Half-Baked Akshay's Back Story
>Romantic angle just to induce kajal agarwal.
I hate it that what could have been another A Wednesday (9.6/10) remained as Special chhabis (8.8/10).Still its a great movie and even if u spend 300 bucks u won't regret a single penny

Note to self : Watch all of Neeraj Pandey's upcoming movies First day First Show

What if one day your father wakes up and claims he killed Gandhi accidently ??? A touching tale of father-daughter relationship,great acting (Anupam Kher and Urmila’s best performance) and marvelous haunting background score are movie’s strong point.A bit-preachy ending is a big letdown,the sole reason this movie is not in my favorite movie of all times.

A surprising satirical comedy by Shyam Benegal ,the man known for making serious classics. Set up in a fictional village of Sajjanpur ,the movie has the perfect balance of tragedy and genuine comic moments .Make space for this entertaining yet hard hitting movie in your watch list. Movie's strong point is unforgettable characters created by benegal.

One of the best crime thrillers i have ever seen. Indian version of Se7en but intelligently modified. It is captivating and gripping right from the word go.Just 1 song,brilliant sountrack, tight script, sleek direction and Sushmita Sen’s finest performance escalated the movie to a different level.
