This is a good movie! Like, laugh out loud until it hurts good! Sure, there are some plot contrivances at the end and a few comic bits can go too fast and thus the story too complicated for those who haven't watched enough Indian cinema. But really, this is a good entertaining movie. Drag your … Continue reading Dream Girl (2019) – Some Like it Hot on The Phone
Rangeela (1995) – A Colourful Love Triangle with Two Strong Shades and One Clear One
I haven't done a review in a while. Been in a kind of a slump, partly because I didn't want to burn myself out, then there's the fact that I didn't know what I should review and then - on a personal matter - a family tragedy happened unexpectedly that effected things. Well, now I … Continue reading Rangeela (1995) – A Colourful Love Triangle with Two Strong Shades and One Clear One
Zubeidaa (2001) – The Fairy Tale That Probably Was
I think this was the first Indian Art House film that I watched as well as the first time I was introduced to Karisma Kapoor and Rekha as well as another wave of love for A. R. Rahman's music since he did the soundtrack, which is full of underrated classics. Since the movie tells the … Continue reading Zubeidaa (2001) – The Fairy Tale That Probably Was
Love Affair (1939) – The Original Affair to Remember
Gah! This film got to me! It got me like stab to the heart and straight to the tear ducts at the end. So good, might even be better than the 1957 version. But that's the magic of this story, it can be done in any age with any kind of cast, and work like … Continue reading Love Affair (1939) – The Original Affair to Remember
Load Wedding (2018) – A Simple Story About Luck and Reaching Happiness within a Flawed System
Another Pakistani movie review! YouTube is really my friend when it comes to english subtitled content coming from South Asia. Yes, I know it is another movie about weddings. But weddings are fun! Or are supposed to be anyway and the way South Asian's do weddings is much more fun than the way the West … Continue reading Load Wedding (2018) – A Simple Story About Luck and Reaching Happiness within a Flawed System
Happy Independence Day India and Pakistan!
I know this is a day late for Pakistan's Independence Day, but one cannot have one without the other in this case. And the British really did dirty on both of them on the way they handled the Partition. A line on a map, a piece of the country divided as well as different faiths … Continue reading Happy Independence Day India and Pakistan!
Parey Hut Love (2019) – A Ridiculously Pretty Movie and I kinda Love it!
My first Pakistani movie ever!!! I've heard and seen good things about the Pakistani movie industry and have wanted to watch a Pakistani film for a long time, but haven't been able to because of the lack of resources to see the films with english subtitles, not even the TV serials, which I know Pakistan … Continue reading Parey Hut Love (2019) – A Ridiculously Pretty Movie and I kinda Love it!
Badla (2019) – Locked Room Mystery Drama about Reversal and Revenge
This is a good movie! I've seen it twice now and it is still entertaining and there is always something to look for in the details. The first time I watched it I was alone, the second time I watched it with my parents and they liked it. And it is a well made film … Continue reading Badla (2019) – Locked Room Mystery Drama about Reversal and Revenge
The Decoy Bride (2011) – Quirky, Cute and Scottish
I saw this movie years ago, because of David Tennant, and now saw it again...because of David Tennant. And it was better than I remembered and very, very cute and quirky in the best of ways that only an indie film can be. Summary: In the remote Scottish island of Hegg in the Archipelago lives … Continue reading The Decoy Bride (2011) – Quirky, Cute and Scottish
Peter Pan (2003) – Where Adventure and Adolescence Make Magic for the Soul
This is one of those movies, which I watched in my early teen years. It came out in 2003 and I think I even had the DVD (which seems to be lost or has been given away). I completely fell in love with this movie. I have read the original 1911 book almost to bits … Continue reading Peter Pan (2003) – Where Adventure and Adolescence Make Magic for the Soul
