Hey! Why do you feel that way,
You are my friend, please have your say:
Anytime, just come over to our bay,
Cause I am overcome by the sway
Of euphoria; be happy - I'd always pray.

"Sicario" review: Takes off where "Zero Dark Thirty" kind of cinema left... brilliant!

If you enjoyed The Hurt Locker or Zero Dark Thirty , chances are you'll love this! It deserves atleast four* Oscar nominations - Best Background Score, Best Cinematography, Best Direction and Best Film. ( * Mind you, del Toro is exceptionally good, too; just that his kind of role may not fall into the Oscar jury's consideration. Else there'd be a fifth !) What I liked most about Sicario is that this is a kind of film that dwells more on the characterization rather than the subject... And one can learn from Sheridan and Villeneuve how to avoid cliches off of a globally age-old subject like drug trafficking, and instead make it complex and original! FBI SWAT agents Kate ( Emily Blunt ) and Reggie ( Daniel Kaluuya ) get really eager to get to the bottom of things after they discover dozens of corpses behind walls, inside a desert-home in Chandler, Arizona. Now, the CIA are also searching for the people responsible for the massacre, and Kate is chosen to go...

"Rangi Taranga" Kannada film review - a beautiful, colourful wave, indeed, in Kannada cinema...

Debutant director Anup Bhandari and Directors of Photography Lance Kaplan & William David are quite the heroes of this enterprise, for their beautiful depiction of Dakshina Kannada . H K Prakash and the production team have invested wisely in utilizing the services of these international cinematographers, thus depicting their uncompromising nature, in this department. Avantika Shetty plays Sindhu, a journalist, in search of novelist Anashku (pseudonym). Parallelly, Gautham Suvarna takes his pregnant wife Indu to Kamarottu village for a Bhootaradhana (literal translation: Bhoota - ghost; Aradhana - worship) ritual. They are greeted by strange happenings and characters, right from their arrival. Rafiq, postmaster Kalinga and the elderly headmaster Shankara are characters that they befriend, here. Watch the film to see how events unfold pretty interestingly... The blending of the folklore concepts, like Bhootaradhana and the Guddadha Bhoota, into...

"Tanu weds Manu returns" review - should have released straight to DVD...!

It's four years since Tanu wed Manu and there is no love lost between them, anymore. The constantly bickering couple undergo counselling, in the UK - where they live - and Tanu gets Manu thrown into a mental asylum. That's the last straw for the couple. Tanu takes a break and comes back to her family in Kanpur. Manu is bailed out by his friend Pappi, played by the brilliant Deepak Dobriyal . And guess what? He soon has a lecture to deliver in Delhi (yeah, right! - talk about co-incidence...) and sees Tanu in Kusum (Kangana in a double role). He starts following her and when Kusum realizes that he is not a stalker, but just amazed at her resemblance to his wife, they start developing feelings for one another. This is made very convenient, especially since both Tanu and Manu are considering divorce anyways. Who gets who and what forms the rest of the story. Kangana Ranaut continues to rock, right from where she left off in Queen . Madhavan holds up on his own, letting his exp...
