Watched Lone Survivor (2013) 8/10 , This film was a pleasant surprise . There are some awesome gun-play sequence in the movie and when the action start it runs throughout the movie . Pretty good acting and I have to give a shout out to the good cinematography too , the color grading in this was pretty good .

Yeah, cinematography was awesome in one word. Acting was decent too given the cast was just average. But these propaganda stuffs are getting so much boring nowadays, it's like knowing the movie before even starting :|

I was having this thought in my mind for a long time sorry not only I, I think many of us were. I was going through the IMDB reviews and found out some one described it perfectly.
Film: mohabbatein

too much of love, way too much
4/10

The movie was one of the biggest hit in Bollywood and won some awards too. After all, it was a perfect entertainer "paisa wasool" movie. The length come out as as positive part. In India the more length is the movie the more "paisa wasool" it is. Especially movie like this, which is full of romance, drama, music and female body shows.

I love the music of the movie. It was great. Also the acting by the legends Amitabh and SRK. And as usual of Yashraj films, the filmography and camera work was great too.

The problem I have is with what exactly message the movie wants to spread? I feel that the movie is trying to say, love first other things later. Other things including discipline, your studies and your career. The "Gurukool" is an ideal school for the college students. The principle expects from them that they should only concentrate on their studies, their career, personal development and their future, at least for the time which they will be spending in this college. (Thats another problem. What kind of school is it? Is it after 10th or after 12th school? And if it is after 12th, why are they wearing uniform?) And to accomplish this he has some strict set of rules. (They are too strict, Agreed.) Now from nowhere a new music teacher comes to college (when the principle does not allow any cultural program in college, why at first place he appointed this music teacher?). Now the music teacher is a real romantic guy, who has done romance with the daughter of the principle, when he himself was in the same college.:lol: As this is against the rules of college, principal throws the boy out, and his lover suicides, as her father rejected her love. (This is far too stretched. What? No, it isn't. OK. Not far stretched, and can happen in reality.) And this teacher has now swore that he will fill the entire college with the love. Means he will teach the student the cheap acts of how to write love letter in more effective ways :rofl: (like using 'Piple ka Panna' as letter), or bung the lecture to meet the girlfriends, and also by bringing neighboring girls to the hostel in absence of principal.(In reality, one of those girls will get pregnant in such situation.)By doing this he think he is doing a great thing for the boys and for the society.:rofl:

By now, you must have understood what my problem is. They say at the end that a balance of discipline and love is required, but actually more weight in given to love, and the man with the discipline has negative shades in character. The next part of the movie is clear. These three students fail in their exam, or pass with the low score, and after college has problem in finding job, and very low knowledge for opening their own business. But the movie ends way before this happens.

It is good to give entertainment to the people, but then one should also pay the attention to what actually you are teaching. The movie which was released at the same time "Mission Kashmir" was having exactly opposite characteristics. The movie was having very less entertainment but gives out gives out good moral to the people. And again it is fact that "Mission Kashmir" flops and Mohobbatein was a great hit. Sometimes, things like these upset me for Bollywood. But fortunately now the Bollywood audience is also giving attention to the spirits of the movie. And hence KANK is super-flop, and Munnabhais are doing great in all parts.

Mohabbatein was a disaster, movie wise. Agreed with too much lovey duvey philosophies and dialogues. If you look at the best bollywood entertaining movies - DDLj,KNPH, jab we met,, they had a perfect mixture of comedy,love,tragedy. Mohabbatein was totally lacking in comedy department and too many characters sidetracked the movie.

Drishyam - 8.5/10 - just one word - EPIC!!!
Flawless depiction of execution of an alibi complemented by superb acting, dialogues and screenplay.
Only regret is that i couldn't watch it a bit earlier

turn me on goddamnit. 7/10. a young girl is obsessed with sex that leads to her being shunned and judged. its a nice sweet movie. i love the fact that europeans make so many movies regarding simple people in simple towns, regarding the amusements wnd tribulations of daily life. its a ticket to exploring the unique culture of a place without visiting.

I don't know how many of you have seen this movie.
As an indian some initial scenes may make you feel bad. Anyways the movie is a bit complex and is multilayered. It deals with a complex subject too. Another mind boggling movie. However it is left for the viewers to decode what it actually wants to convey.

Too late but finally I saw it, and its great. Now I see where Mafia II (game) is coming from.

Incidentally this is the 500'th non-Indian movie I rated (or watched) on imdb.
I thought I had seen a lot of movies but looking at the numbers I guess not.
