Dasvidaniya

We have seen a lot of movies that tell us the value of life. This is one of them. 

Its about a guy named Amar. Working as an accounts manager 36 year old and he is driven by the fears and responsibilities. Has a habbit of writing todo list for every day that passes by.Never reverting back on anything. No good habits(doesnt booze, smoke nothing). One day he gets to know that he has only two months left in his life due to stomach cancer. Realizes and writes down things to do before he dies. The amount of emotion involved in each scene is really heart touching. I havent got tears rolling out for a while on any movie but this one really does. Sets out to buy a car, foreign trip, his teenage love neha (Neha Dhupia gets married) and still has guts to say i love you at the end of the day, meeting Rahul Jhulka his best friend, meets a love in foreign, learns guitar, reunites with his younger brother and finally front page of paper.

These are some of the common wishes everyone has in life. I tell you this guy has lived his entire life in just two months. Vinay pathak at his outstanding best in the role. 

A perfect fitting caption "the best good bye ever".

This aint a big review for a good movie like that. I am short of words for this movie.

The Terminal

Determination, love, concentration and above all Hope is something u can learn by watching a movie like this. After a great hit winning an Oscar from the movie "Cast Away" Tom Hanks puts it again. Story of a typical Krokoshian coming to US. Its such a funny instant at the beggining when the airport aithorities say why he cannot go to America. He gets locked up at the airport due to the rebel in his country which means he will be a citizen of nowhere and gets to stay there at the Terminal. Learns English, earns his own money, works out to get his own bed. U should see the scene when he roams around wearing a towel in the terminal. he spends at the terminal for 9 months.there are some scenes which needed to be paid much attention. the scene where he makes out the quarters, helping another fellow russian struggling to get the medicines out of that place. finally the reason why he is at that place is told at the end to the heroine.. One of the most touching scenes of the story. There are some best dialogues. " I am... delayed.. long time"
" u dont like my fish". " do u have an appointment?" " Destiny" " I am going Home"

rang de basanti

hmm.. let me see.. i heard from my brother that the movie was ok ok.. so i went to the theatre with that in mind, not expecting much. boy! what a show, every character suited the role so well, and they did every justice they can to the role. the direction is great. hilarious first half with some wonderful impromptu jokes. i wish i had some good time in college like that. anyway, i had a great time watching this movie.
its an interesting concept. they took an incident from indian history, found some people in the current generation, made them work to shoot that incident. and alas, pretty much a similar situation happens in the current time. and these guys do the same thing that was done in history. i really salute the person whoever got the concept.
the screenplay could have been better. especially the second part could have been made little more gripping.
the background music was great and i had lots of fun watching the movie as such. the heroine was as cute as her mother. songs were also great making me sing along and dance along. i loved "lalkaar".listening to it gives me goose-pimples.

now for my musings:

i guess the trend in india is changing. lots of movies are being made to incite people to join public services and help the nation. its great if this can actually percolate into people's mind. i am not saying people should join services to render their services to the nation. any possible way to make the country better is a way that can serve the nation. little things that dont take much time will make a big impact. for eg., i always see people littering on roads. instead, you can save the litter until you find a garbage bin and throw in it. i heard few people say, who will collect it from garbage bins? they dont clear the garbage bins. well, thats not the point. point is did you do the correct thing or not? for a moment, lets assume no one clears it. what would happen? the litter would be around the bin. if at some time, the people clearing it come, it would all around it. it would still be better off than the litter lying on the road. who knows, by seeing us do the correct thing, even those people who remove the trash from garbage bins might start acting promptly. if not, we should ask them to do so. its our duty.

i also see most of the educated people sitting idle at home. i am sure they are not that busy that they cant help the nation. a small committment from them to help atleast one person, or may educate a person would also have a big impact. i strongly believe that each person should take initiatives to make their neighbourhood cleaner and nicer than what it is now.
its also our duty to create new oppurtunities for ourselves and in turn that would impact nations economy.
there are so many things to say, but i would be wandering off without any particular connection with the movie.
all said, i would say, rang de basanti is a must see movie atleast for the justice that actors did for their characters and the music.
full thumbs up to rang de basanti...
hai liye hathyaar dushman taak mein baita udhar
aur hum taiyyaar hain seena liye apna idhar
khoon se khelenge holi gar vatan muskhil mein
hai sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai
