Kay Super Sleaze Hain Hum…!

Adi (Tushar Kapoor) a struggling actor and Sid (Ritesh Deshmukh) a struggling DJ are two best friends living in Mumbai. The other partner in crime- Suck-roo ( A Sex Fiend Pug) from which Sid makes his living.

Adi falls in love with Simran (Neha Sharma) and Sid with Anu (Sarah Jane Dias). Finally how these couples meet amidst many crazy hurdles like Baba 3G (Chunkey Pandey) and insane Anu's father, Marlo (Anupam Kher) is the plot (Well is it?).

You will enjoy this movie if you do not expect any story for that matter any sense out of this.  It is just a 137 minute tortures journey of some lame jokes and sleaze.

Coming to individual performances except for Anupam Kher’s performance its noting worth mentioning. The only saving grace has been the music where in few tracks are delightful.

Overall it’s a movie that you can completely avoid.

My Rating : 1/5

Cocktail – A Complex but a Real Mix

Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Randeep Hooda & Dimple Kapadia.

Director: Homi Adajania

Producer:  Saif Ali Khan, Dinesh Vijan.

Duration: 148 Minutes

The first reaction stepping out of Cocktail – “Wow”, followed by “Hold a Sec – is it?” then finally a “Good Movie” indeed.

Firstly, I would like to applaud the director (Homi Adajania) for choosing such an un-conventional script for his first main stream big movie after, critically acclaimed Being Cyrus. To all the potential viewers, treat this movie on the basis of pure human emotion without judging on the grounds of morality, you will like it.

Imtiaz Ali has once again proved that, his scripts, in spite of all their complexities holds that true human emotion (Moral or Immoral - Debatable) which are very appealing.

The story begins with Gautam Kapoor played by Saif Ali Khan, a uncontrollable flirt who shifts to London for his new job & Meera played by Diana Penty a typical Desi girl dumped by her husband on the streets of London. 

Enters, Veronica played by Deepika Padukone a leading fashion photographer and self proclaimed “Snobbish B***H”. Veronica helps Meera in making a fresh start to her life, till they bump into Gautam, only to become best of friends.

Story takes a twist when Gautam walks out of a living in relationship with Veronica falling for the true love of Meera, which she reciprocates. To sum it up Gautam loves Meera, Veronica loves Gautam & Meera loves Gautam. To know how this complex tale of love unfolds, you have to see the movie.

Coming to individual credits first it’s the director who has done a splendid job, so much so that even a minute detailing has been taken extreme care. Take the introductory scene of Meera, a first time  Desi going abroad, sweater on salwar, luggage tied with nylon ropes etc.

The best part of Homi’s direction was he kept the story and performances of the characters real. With such a fabulous starcast it is always tempting for a director to go over the top and he has just not done that. Mark of sensible director..!

Coming to actors, Gautam’s role is a cake walk for Saif, he has just done that in the past and he does it now with the same perfection. Diana Penty for new comer has put up a good show. My favorite performance of the movie is Deepika Padukone, who has literally given everything to her character (Including her clothes - Joke). Not every actress can play veronica – take it. Boman & Dimple with their superb comic timing just adds in.

Anil Mehta with his brilliant cinematography just makes movie picture perfect. Pritam’s tunes hit the right chord too.

To end, Cocktail is brave and a brilliant movie and it deserves a definite watch.

Tweaking Rumis quote from Imitiaz Ali’s Rock Star – “ Leave beyond the boundaries of right thinking & wrong thinking there lies a movie Cocktail- Watch it. (Ofcourse in a theater near you)

The Amazing Spider Man – Truly Amazing

Cast: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Sally Field.

Director: Marc Webb

Producer:  Avi Arad, Alvin Sargent, Steve Kloves

Duration: 136 Minutes

As an audience I was wondering how a same story can be told which is still refresh in every ones mind. Marc Webb showed it with “The Amazing Spider Man”. Thanks to this amazing director and his brilliant star cast, this film deserves a definite watch.

With a story line that everyone knows, Marc Webb as director had a very limited scope to make this movie appealing and he just does that. The Amazing Spider Man is more real, emotional, trendy and logical when compared to its predecessors. One thing which I liked the most about Mac Webb’s direction was, the way he portrayed his characters be it Peter Parker or his aunt & uncle or girl friend Gewn played by Emma. He made sure every character has that emotional connect and that really worked.

Coming to the plot, Peter Parker played by Andrew Garfield is a boy with his share of problems, left with his aunt & uncle after his parent’s demise. How an introvert parker transforms into a spider man and takes on the monstrous lizard and becomes a super hero is the plot of the story.

Coming to individual performances the one that truly stands out and worth appreciating is Andrew Garfield. An appealing boyish face full of emotions, Andrew Gafield truly reminds of stalwarts like Al Pacino in some of the scenes. He just brings the natural flavor to the character.  

Emma stone with her charismatic looks justifies her role and puts up a good performance. Parkers Uncle & Aunt, May & Ben played by Sally & Martin in spite of limited screen presence does an amazing job and is worth appreciating.

Lastly, the special effects team deserves double thumbs up especially for designing those night sequences extra ordinarily. 

Overall “The Amazing Spider Man” is truly amazing and it deserves a definite watch.

My Rating : 3.5/5
