Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara



GENRE : Comedy | Adventure | Drama

PLOT : Three friends decides to go on a vacation for celebrating the Bachelors Party after one of them is engaged.

REVIEW : The basic concept is similar to Hangover though but the treatment is different. Farhan Akhtar has done a great job in dialogues and the poetry of Javed Akhtar is mesmerizing. The film is totally fun to watch and is a laugh riot in the first half. However the second half is too stretchy and this is where Zoya Akhtar has fallen weak in direction. All three have done good job and Abhay Deol especially is funny where Farhan is strong given the prominent dialogues. The sequences are long and irrelevant. In the end the purpose of Imran is left questionable and feels to be irrelevantly forced into the movie. The songs are mostly just added to increase the duration but they are good especially Paint it Red and Senorita. The first half is filled with punches and quick humor. So definitely one will like it although the second half has weakened the movie. Its definitely worth one watch.

TRAILER





Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : The journey to destroy the horocruxes continues from part 1.

REVIEW : This is what all had been waiting. The end is here and it comes with a big bang. This is the best installment of the series excluding Prisoner of Azkaban. Finally its Harry vs Voldemort. With the beginning only its quite understandable that all we're gonna watch is a lot of action. The direction great, the script is written pretty well and I just loved the screenplay. Its stunning visually and the effects are commendable. One more thing is that you will find your heart pacing as more and more time passes. Definitely all you think is that its gonna end now. I watched in 3d and didn't find much use of 3d except 2-3 good scenes. So its moreover kind of same if you watch in 2d. The truths when unfold delivers a shock to us. Although the ending scenes don't fit well but the climax is superb and it couldn't have ended better. Just loved it but sadly the series is over now.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : The final year is here and Voldemort has grown strong. The trio Harry, Ronn and Hermione begin their journey to find and destroy the horocruxes.

REVIEW : The end is near and now the power of Voldemort can clearly be traced out. This installments majorly focuses on the climax which is near. Henceforth the sole attention is paid to the action sequences. What I believe is that the movie is stretched without any reason just to produce another installment. Nothing much important happens in this part and the major part is left for the last installment. All the questions which were aroused in Half Blood Prince are majorly left unanswered. This is a let down again and the producers now are greedy for another one clearly. The romantic relationships are more focused without any importance just to cover up the running time. Therefore its really slow paced making you yawn at certain places. I would rather rate it 6.5. Its the weakest of all.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : Harry on sixth year at Hogwarts finds a book which belongs to 'The Half Blood Prince'.

REVIEW : Its the worst adaptation of the book so far as I have heard but as am just considering movie here, I liked it. Definitely better than earlier. Improved acts by everyone is a plus. With every installments its growing darker and darker and now we can actually feel the presence of Voldemort. It brings with itself more wizardry, more visual effects and a great cinematography. The romance is blooming now and a maturity is seen in characters. The movie created a mystery in the beginning itself and the suspense is carried out  throughout till the end. Watch for the climax as its quite surprising. Overall I loved this one.

RATING : - - - - - - - 8 - -

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : The fifth year at Hogwarts contain ill fortune for Harry. He believe that Voldemort is back but not many believe him.

REVIEW : I was pretty much excited about this installments as by now I've become a fan of Harry Potter. The movie though didn't stand on my expectations. It has plot holes and things are left unexplained mostly. Rushing the things just offers us to wonder. People are saying that the book is lengthy and therefore they were not able to accommodate things properly in the short duration of movie. Nonetheless its still a good movie. Well no comments on vfx which is always appealing. So again its visually good and screenplay is good. Yes you will find yourself waiting for the next eventually.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : Surprisingly Harry (who is under-aged) is selected for the dangerous competition held at school and the saga continues.

REVIEW : I personally liked this one, although not what Prisoner of Azkaban was but very good. The movie unlikely to that is filled with action and is a visual treat for fans. The kiddish situations are now taking up darker forms as the characters are also growing. with the long duration its surprisingly not boring at all. Daniel Radcliff is growing as an actor and similarly improvement can be seen in Hermione and Rupert as well. Direction wise also its really good and will keep your eyes glued till the end. A perfect environments is created throughout which enhances the experience. All the Potter fans gonna love it for sure and others as well.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : Potter's third year begins at Hogwarts. But there is a big trouble as the convicted murderer Sirius Black has escaped the prison and he's after Potter.

REVIEW : I would like to mention that Alfonso Cuarón has done a great job. The treatment of the movie is totally different from the previous installments. The magical world has not only grown much darker but it has taken for of a thriller. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have grown not only in age but skills as well as they give a great performance.The movie has taken shape of a much more complexity.Its no longer just about the Quidditch matches or the menacing Malfoy but its much more than that. The whole movie has a suspenseful environment and it holds on to it from beginning to end. The climax especially is great and more mature than the previous installments. Overall I think this is the best installment from the three. Totally amazing experience and close to perfect.
