"No One Killed Jessica" Movie Review
this movie comes across as a subtle potrayal of the events that took place on and after the night,Jessica Lal,was murdered in cold blood.
The story moves at a nice pace all through the film and never do you feel that the director spent too much time adding masala.If you are the sensitive type,you might notice a tear or two creeping down your cheeks when the nation unites for Jessica's cause.
The actors,I must say,have done justice to their roles.
Vidya Balan,as Jessica's sister does well with her no make-up look as a character that grows as the events unfold.
Rani Mukherjee is very convincing as a foul mouthed reporter who basically gets into action in the second half.She is a no-bakwaas sort of a woman.Independence of the Indian single woman at it's very best.
I would not call this a paisa vasool film so as to not hurt the sentiments of the people involved but if you had read about the case and not liked how things went about,maybe you should go and watch this one.
My rating : 4/5

Tees Maar Khan Movie Review
Super Hit ? Or super flop ?
So I had been waiting to go for this movie ever since it released but somehow did not want to due to the reviews it got.Most critics said that one should go only to watch Sheela dance and act dumb.But when my girlfriend asked me to choose between TMK or The Tourist, I secretly wanted to choose the former,which she managed to see and we went for it to the Cinemax in BKC.
The song is within the first fifteen minutes of the movie.And boy, does Sheela rock ! apart from the song, the movie has a good story,but it has been over done all thanks to the director's boyfriend,Shirish Kunder.He has produced the flick,written dialogues,etc etc and etc.Come on ! What was he thinking ? The movie looks like a cheap re make of Om Shanti Om at times trying to copy OSO's look and feel.
There are nice moments here and there which will make you smile but nothing is going to make you fall off your seat laughing.
Akshay has done his bit though he looks gay in certain parts. What is he trying to do in his movies of late ?
Katrina as Sheela is only there for her sheer mastery over the art of acting like a bimbette.Akhay Khanna is wasted as a wannabe Oscar winner and breaking into a dance song routine over Jai Ho ! or rather Day ho !
Wonder how big a flop Slumdog Millionaire would have been had he been cast in it.
Overall I would rate it about 5.5/10
The music is not too good too.Vishal has done a good job with "Sheela ki Jawani" and Sonu Nigam has sung the title song brilliantly too.
All in all it is a one watch type of a movie.Please lock your brains at home before you watch this one or you are going to hate it.
Sorry Farah.You need to get your priorities in order to get a hit.Promoting your husband doesn't really work for us !
Umbergaon with friends
Umbergaon, Dahanu and Bordi
About 180 kilometers from Mumbai, these places offer a relaxing getaway from the hustle bustle of city life.The roads leading to Umbergaon are nice for the major parts but getr slightly bumpy as you get closer to the town of Sajjan.I rode there with a couple of my friends from xbhp.com and it was a fun ride.
Don't venture alone as there is not much to do if you don't have good company.There are lots of small hotels next to Dahanu but do not expect a five star experience.
If your bike or car breaks down there are plenty of workshops in the town and atm machines can be found with ease too close to the Sajjan railway station.
Tourists are present but not in abundance thus saving the area from unnecessary commercialization.
Don't expect super urban restaurants and cinema halls or malls so do your shopping before you leave.The beaches provide ample space for a nice homely picnic.
The weather is pleasant in winters.No need to carry heavy woolens but a light jacket would be needed at night if you plan to roam around on the beach.
