Firecracker to the moon
P.K - 7/10

One word for this movie - OVERRATED

Anyway the movie, was good before the interval after the interval it was good enough.Songs were amazing.
3 Idiots was much better than this, So was OMG!
And also this is surely better than the crap Bollywood has been releasing

Watched Gaurdians of the Galaxy. Dunno what the hype is. Looked a fairly straightforward story with amalgamation of superheroes, kinda likes the ones I used to watch in Cartoon Network. Its really a pity that movies like these are in top 250 in IMDB.

Agreed. But the hype was probably for theater viewing.

Lucy - 9/10

A nice thriller with fancy fiction story-line. I highly doubt whether humans would like this, if they unravel more than 10% of their brain's capacity. Since the movie is about fiction, it's ok to accept the fact.

Few movies that I saw in last couple of days,

Byomkesh Phire Elo 7/10

Language : Bengali

Theme: [From IMDB]

Byomkesh is called upon for help by police to solve the murder mystery of a wealthy old man Benimadhab and his servant Meghraj. He and Ajit finds the case submerged in crooked intentions of family members.

Verdict : Wrong choice to be made into a movie, could have been right as TV movie. Good acting be cast though. Too melodramatic for a thriller.

Badshahi Angti 8/10

Language : Bengali

Theme : [IMDB]
A "Feluda" story based on the novel of Satyajit Roy by the same name, where still amateur detective Feluda attempts to solve the mysterious disappearance of a very costly and historic ring and in the process reveals a series of previously committed crimes.

A better made movie compared to the other release on the same day (mentioned above). The thrill is intact and complemented by good acting by Aabir as 'Feluda'

If you are a bengali, you should not miss this.

I Origins /8/10

Has gone straight to my favorite movie list.

Mindfcuk and great movie with right mix of religion and science. A request to all here. Check this out for sure.

Warning : ITS slow. Don't expect to get some cheap thrills.

Watched PK today evening.
Liked it but felt a bit exaggerated and slow paced. Lost focus in second half.
7/10

Then I remembered two other films that 'kinda' dealt with same concept "K-Pax" and "A man who was superman"

Watched "A man who was superman" tonight after 5 years. Felt as good as new!

^^Oh you have already posted. Anyways I will extend it a bit.
PK
In simple terms PK = K pax + Oh my god!
Well K pax is a medium psychological drama whereas PK is the simplified desi version. Both the movies have some flaws but lets forget that.
Pk has some stupid fillers if we can get past those then its a good timepaas film. The dialogues at the very end of the film (when they show after 1 year) were the best.
Watch K-pax first for kevin spacey (if you haven't) & PK for Aamir khan. Generally I don't take actors names if they have not done something good.

I have a strange feeling if this had starred Shahrukh Khan you would have had different views considering keeping everything same that is same director and rest of the case.

You know, this movie could have starred SRK and would have made same impression in people. This is his area of forte, acting like child and lotsa emotions.

Anyway, if SRK had stared it I would have rated it 10/10, but its my personal agenda against any other 'khan' apart from SR 'Khan' that I've rated it thus.

In no way other similar reviews and/or ratings shared by fellow digitians distract you that my review could be independent and not biased!
