3 in 1!


I surpassed my earlier myself by watching 3 movies in 4 days.I never expected the study hols to be spent in this way.A short review of all the 3 films:
Blue:
Strong competition with "CC2C" and "Kambakht Ishq" for the title "Turkey of the year".Sanjay Dutt does a Rajini-like act getting himself paired with his granddaughter-like Lara Dutta(Sizzling Bikini show).Zayed Khan needs heavy-duty lessons in acting.Even Rahman sounds non-committal:The BGM is ordinary."Fiqrana" is picturised badly.Avoid the movie and watch "National Geographic" instead.
Jaganmohini:
I watched this only because I could not get tickets for "Peraanmai".Should have released in 1969.Completely outdated and stale.The CG is pathetic.Even Nameetha's oomph factor cannot save it.(She looks like a white elephant rather than a glam doll.)Ilayaraja's music reminds me of "Oh!what a fall was there!".
Peraanmai:
J.P.Jananathan packs in too much in the stipulated time:Patriotism,agriculture,satellites,pro-reservation propaganda,communist leanings and even woman empowerment.I have started liking Ravi atlast(inspite of his effeminate voice).The five girls turn in a riot of a performance.Too many censor cuts ruin the first half.Some lewd dialogues("I have never seen a snake") play spoilsport.Inspite of too many sub-stories and an annoying first 30 minutes,the film should be celebrated for what it is:A patriotic thrill-a-minute adventure.

    No "back to" business!
    I have always been watching movies regularly.
    A future administrator of an Indian town must keep track of what matters the most in the Indian psyche:Cinema!
