Movie Review: Lakshya

Yesterday I finally saw Lakshya. I must say I loved the movie though it was a tad long. It's a Hindi war movie. I say " Hindi" war movie coz a Hindi war movie is very different from an English or Hollywood war movie. You get the basic idea of war and what happened. Yet you feel kinda happy at the end. I have always loved 2 songs in this movie. One is "Mein Aisa Kyon?" and the other is "Agar Mein Kahoon ".The music is by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. Prabhu Deva has choreographed " Mein Aisa Kyoon?" and I thought the songs in the movie are quite apt. The lyrics make sense and the songs and dance sequence add to what the director is trying to convey. By the way Farhan Akhthar has directed this movie and it helps that his father Javed has written the screenplay, story and lyrics. The story is also interesting and unique. I liked the exploration of the teenage dilemma of being confused and not knowing what to do. Plus it gives people an idea about what people in the army do and what they contribute to the country. I think Hrithik, Boman Irani and Preity act really well. But credit also goes to Javed for writing such an intersting storyline and Farhan for directing the movie in such a fascinating manner.

Movie Review: Love Story 2050

Starring Priyanka Chopra and the Jr baweja, Harman Baweja. Piggy's clothes are great and she looks picture perfect in every frame. Harman looks like Hrithik. But not as lean. He dances well too. I kinda liked the first part coz that's all I saw. I heard most of the second part and opened my eyes occassionally to see Piggy's clothes. I had a headache which started before I came in. From what I saw, I think it's a light entertainer. Nothing serious. The second part looked like a mish mash of Bicential man, Star Wars, Fifth element and HG Well's Time Machine. Still no complaints as they did not commit the greatest of crimes. Boredom!! It was not boring...so all can be forgiven. Boman Irani and Archana Puran Singh are in it as well...
I was accomanied by a 13yr old and 7 yr old. Their verdict??? They liked it alot. The 7 yr old said she wanted to see it again with her mamma. And the 13yr old kept repeating Archana's dialogues...
