Ringa Ringa

What do you call a movie with a strong script, good performances, good background score, good dialogue delivery, good direction, good dialogues, good screenplay? You got it right, Ringa ringa :)

The movie starts nicely and then keeps moving at a pace that keeps everyone engaged and guessing the plot till the end. It is a story about Siddharth (Bharat Jadhav) who is the bodyguard of a corrup politician Rang Rao. He decides to let the world know his master's evil doings and thereby save Goa, the state the movie is shot in. This eventually ends up the bad way and then the movie proceeds and Mansi (Sonali Kulkarni) and her lovely sarees and her awesome performance is all you can see. The way her expressions and eyes help the dialogues to be effective is a must watch.
The story is very well twisted so much so that you can keep guessing till the end but can be never sure. It is a bit dramatic towards the end, but then thats Indian cinema for you :)
Enjoy it and I'm sure you will have nothing but words of praise for this beauty!

P.S. Don't watch it at CPK, their sound system is so bad that it'll give you the impression that Sonali has over acted!

Its a bollywood horror movie which atleast does not make you laugh. The promotional videos of the movie looked inviting (let me clarify again its a horror), the lead aatma looked scary even without makeup :P It is a cut + copy + paste from different movies and it seems to be inspired a lot from grudge.

But, seriously I liked the movie because it didn't make you laugh. It did give you some shrills and scary moments and then went on to bore you. The story was okish and the direction could have been much better. When the 'scary' mood was just setting in, the direction took it to a love story with senti dialogues and mushy hugs and songs which did not let you get into the romantic mood.

As for the acting, the lead actors Shreyas and the newbie (imdb has no record for this movie ;)) are average. The movie maybe does not demand more than skin show and screeches.

It is much better than other bollywood horror movies, but it could have been much much better.
I'd say one time watch else..don't bother!

Couples Retreat

Don't ask me why I saw this movie..I cannot think of any good reason..

There is absolutely no story. Performances meagre. Story telling..absent. There is nothing for sore eyes too ;)

Doesn't it sound like 'run'..run away..save yourselves..;)
It is a very usual..well known story. The only thing the movie does is "throw the truth in your face".
Nothing about the movie is extraordinary. Even the starcast doeas not help as the performances are below average. What I don't understand is - why does an actor like Gul Panag even sign a role where she has no more than three or four meagre minute scenes, none of which show her great acting calibre? Amitabh Bachchan has given some great performances in movies like Black and Paa ; he is no more a beginner to be signing roles like these; is he listening?
The only consolation is that the background music is nice.

Please don't bother!
