Sleepless in Seattle

Its a mushy, romantic, emotional drama. If this repels you, then this is not a movie you will enjoy, since there is nothing more to this movie than a fairy tale romance.

The story starts out with the death of Tom Hank's wife. He has a son. Its been a year but Hanks is still living with the loss of his wife. He is always sad, lost and aloof. He avoids social contact and does not want to date again because he still loves his wife.

Meg Ryan is a reporter and she is engaged to her love Will. She believes in signs but does not know herself. She hears Hanks on a radio station and falls in love with him. She decides to meet him just to find out whether they have a future. She fights with herself, does not tell her fiancee and sets out to meet Hanks. When she finally does see Hanks, he is with a young lady. She looks at Hanks, standing in the middle of a busy road and Hanks sees her too. That's it. She flies back home and Hanks is with his young lady. However, before flying to see Hanks, Ryan had written to him and asked him to meet her at the top of the Empire State Building on the 14th of Feb. Hanks' son is very impressed by her letter and feels she could be his new mom.
Ryan then finally knows that she does not love her fiancee and Hanks' son gets his father to the Empire State Building where the two protagonists meet and the story ends.

Nothing new, right? Performances were good yes, but the story is predictable. All the events of the movie, are basically from some or the other romantic movie. So I'd say the movie is passe!

Ladies vs Ricky Bahl

A con movie. Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma and Yash Raj, but not impressive. The movie is not impressive.
The story, Ranveer is a con. He only cons women. He does not take undue advantage of them, its just the money he's after. Everything is going fine until he cons  business woman Dipannita Sharma. She is then contacted by two of his earlier con-successes, one a punjabi kudi (Parineeta Chopra) and another shy, sophisticated, innocent Lucknow girl (Aditi Sharma). These three set out to con their con-star and retrieve the money they lost to him. For this purpose they hire sales girl Anushka Sharma, who cons her customers everyday by getting them to buy lots of stuff they don't even need. She agrees to do the job. And hence begins the love story between Anushka and Ranveer who both fall helplessly in love with each other. What follows is a small melodrama where each wants to reveal their true selves and live happily with each other. (Yes, happy ending here)

So, nothing much about the story that makes you sit out there for two hours. Anushka and Ranveer show off their bodies and chemistry. Dipannita Sharma and Aditi Sharma have performed well, but the star of the movie is Parineeta. She has done a wonderful job as a flamboyant, rich, over-confident punjabi kudi and makes you want to laugh at all she says and does. She definitely has a great career ahead of her.
The songs are bad, the words make no sense (which is true for many bollywood songs), but the music is also not catchy. The background score is not much too. The story is simple but predictive. The direction and cinematography are good. All in all a not-so-new story with okay performances and mediocre story telling and body show by Anushka and Ranveer. A time pass movie if you have nothing better to do.
