Bajirao Mastani (2015)
This movie deserves an Oscar
I am a documentary and TV producer and director my self and the only thing that I found negative about this film was that it was little slow pace and ending could have been a little better but there were so many positives about this movie that this only one negative didn't really make a difference.
I have never seen Indian Cinema at this much great excellence. Camera angles, frame composition, acting, lighting, editing yet everything was just perfect. Every character was perfectly related to the story and actors did full justice with their character.
Kudos to Sajnay Leela Bhansali for such an organized and better than Hollywood production. This movie definitely deserves an Academy.
Mr Bhansaali, I am so impressed with your work that I now want to work with you and learn a lot more from you. God bless you.
Jawani Phir Nahi Ani (2015)
Really good movie with some flaws.
I was thinking of taking my mom at Jawani Pher Nahi Aani, but glad that I didn't. It is a comedy movie with a lot of short dresses and alcoholic drinks which really doesn't make it a family movie.
It does have really good story but a lot of dialogues, ideas and scenes were adopted from different Pakistani movies and dramas. Even the whole sequence from different movies were copied and replayed in this movie, which was defiantly an effort to make the film more comic, but it certainly was less creative.
Even though it is an amazing movie which gave me a lot of laughs, it does have lot of things that put this movie in the list of the worst movies of all time. First of all Mr. Baig should understand that sex doesn't sell at all. The movie portray really rich class of Pakistani society that doesn't care about their cultural values. About 90% of Pakistani people want to watch a movie with their families and it is really not suitable for a family to see four Pakistani guys dancing and drinking with girls in bikinis and Pakistani ladies wearing really short skirts. Mr. Baig must understand the reason for films like Khuda Kay Liye, Waar, Bol and namaloom afrad's success was that those record-breaking films had their own original stories, cast and they did not copy anything from Bollywood. One of the real strong points of this movie was acting especially Sarwat Gilani did fabulous job and her acting was really strong. The character of Bushra Ansari was good as well, but since they were copying many things from other movies, I would have liked it if they had portrayed her as Saima Chaudhry from Azar ki Ayegi Baraat because she is the Punjabi speaking wife of a businessman anyway in this movie. Camera angle and direction was really good but director used so much effects to reduce face marks and cuts that all actors look like plastic in close-up shots. Vasy Chaudry's writings are always impressive and this movie can be one of his prides. One of the scenes in which Hamza asks him to do something and what he does in reaction made me laugh so much that it brought tears in to my eyes. A total 10/10 to writer. I don't understand the logic in showing scenes where actors are smoking but a note that Smoking Kills is also provided on the screen. Like, if you really know that smoking kills, then why would you chose to advertise it or even put it in the film? It really doesn't change the story a bit if character is not smoking. Apparently, sensor board failed to realize that drinking also kills. If this warning goes with smoking then it should have went out with all the scenes in which characters drank as well. Overall this movie is worth watching but I would rather watch it after deleting all scenes that are not suitable in family sitting. They add nothing to the story. It really is a nice effort by Mr Baig and entire team. I would end it by saying it's a good movie with some flaws. BUT REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT A FAMILY MOVIE.
PK (2014)
Raised an important issue really carefully.
Even though it is not as funny as 3 Idiots, it raised a really important issue. History shows us that people were killed by talking about religion but Rajkumar Hiriani raised the same issue in real mature manner. PK showed the world that religion is not a property of people, instead it belongs to everyone. PK also taught me that best human being would be the one who serves humanity and not the one who is religious. Although the main story is somewhat similar to OMG, (Oh My God), it approaches the subject differently. Romance between Amir and Anushka did not add anything to the story. The development of the story was little slow but it never got boring. The songs were intelligently made, especially love is a waste of time was the best. I really appreciate the way Mr. Hiriani approached the subject. This movie shows that how to forget all the differences between us and live like human beings on this planet that we call home. Comparing this movie with 3 idiots would not be fair as they both are totally different movies, with different audience. I really enjoyed watching this movie. Definitely worth watching.
