Here's to all of you my list of movies that made 2k14 great.
Often we look back in our back lives and try to find ourselves.
An introspection. In a country of 1.3 billion masses, it pretty back-breaking.
We need someone to guide our way in pursuance of something we know or we ought not to.
And that someone is played by movies in our country. Movies are the core habit of all Indians.
DISCLAIMER
This list is made by me. It's totally based on what i feel. So if you like this, great and if you don't - thanks for giving it view and if you are offended - Grow up Fucker.
1.>HAIDER
BOTTOM LINE:-To be or not to be.
BOTTOM LINE:-To be or not to be.
Not often we come across some movie and call it PERFECT. That it is what HAIDER is all about.
It keeps you glued to seat and never leave. What makes this movie great is how Vishal Bhardwaj blended William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" with atrocious J&K.
Shahid kapoor delivered his career's best performance till date and yes he is best actor of this year ( even better than aamir in PK).
Tabu performance reminds of you in scene why she is 2x National award winner.
She fits in the shoes perfectly but is understated; that's because she is not the female protagonist in the movie and over shadows the surreal Shraddha kapoor.
She elegantly plays her role as Arisha.
Irrfan Khan plays Roohdaar and trust me ,he brings the "ROOH" to this masterpiece.
Kay Kay Menon plays his role as brings his grey shade into play. cinematography is superb.
FACT :- Adaption of william shakespeare's hamlet& Introduction of Hebrew word 'CHUTZPAH' to Indian audiences.
2.>ANKHON DEKHI
BOTTOM LINE - One's real view.
Bauji, a lower middle class give up his views which he possessed from people and believes in what he see. Now what his life will be is thing you have to look forward to. Sanjay mishra delivers an brilliant performance in the simplist avtar.
He carries the movie on his shoulder very smoothly. Rajat Kapoor makes his place known in the movie. The brothers reuniting scene is mesmerizing. The streets and views of people in this movie will give a heart wrenching truth.
Fact :- Director Rajat kapoor aslo acts as bauji little brother in the movie.
3.>QUEEN
Bottom line:- Everything in life happens for the good
Rani, a middle class girl takes a journey to Europe when her wedding is called off.
When it comes to table that our industry is male dominated. Movies like this often make us stray that judgement. The first look was enough hold our horses for the excitement which it promised and delivered. Kangana Ranaut gives the best she has in her simple charm. She is indeed the best actress this year. Lisa haydon also deliver her part in the stubborn way.The script is original and cinematography is brilliant. Screenplay is well written and executed. In the end you keep on wanting for more.The movie gives you perfect soul searching experience which many Indian women will relate with.
Fact:- Kangna Ranaut is seen wearing an "Alice in Wonderland" sweatshirt on her last day in Amsterdam. This is a tribute to the book on which the movie is loosely based.
4.>UGLY
Bottom line :- NOBODY IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
As an AK fan i liked it but i'm not gonna sugarcoat any thing because it's me.
It's realistic to core. Dark throughout script. Ronit roy delivers as an cop and yes, he is badass. Rahul bhat is fresh, engaging actor and keeps it real as possible. Tejaswini Kolhapure is sincere in the film but shocks at near end. Surveen chawla gave the most gutsy performance of her career and she kept herself with tone of dark.Screenplay is amazing and best i have seen this year. And background score is tremendous. This blended thriller, crude humor and crime story is engaging and leaves us with question that are better not to be asked. Disturbing, twisting and Dark leaves us gloomy.
Fact:- This movie was made and was ready for release in 2013 itself but since the director Anurag Kashyap wanted the statutory warning regarding Smoking to be removed he did not release the film till Dec 2014. Fighting a lone battle with authorities, he finally had to give in keeping in mind the monetary aspect of the producers
(For me, this was the most awaited movie of the year and it finally got the release because mukesh ab nahi raha par wo zinda hai humari movies me, censor board ke dimaag me but smokers ke dimaag me nahi. LoL.)
Bottomline :- There are two gods. one which is there and one which we created.
Rajkumar hirani, undoubtedly is the only director whose movies never failed at box office and his story connect with audiences. I think he posses some kind of wand to do his magic on Indian Audiences. After the success of 3 idiots, when it came out that Pk is releasing this year. I was like "done"; like it was already best film of the year and many people do. But due to lack of originality, unwanted songs and not so great editing it isn't.
Now the positives, Aamir khan as pk or whatever you call it is full of skepticism about his beliefs on god. His journey as alien In India was full confusion, misunderstandings and laughable. Irony is what this movie stands on and delivers without giving a tear. A movie you must watch with your family. It shows our perception on GOD. Make sure you didn't pick up the wrong number.
Facts :- Highest Grossing film in Bollywood (and with highest memes which says the movie is for educated people like no other movie on this planet is for uneducated one's).
HONORABLE MENTIONS:- HASEE TOH PAHSEE, DR. CABBIE, MARDANI, HIGHWAY, HOLIDAY, 2 STATES & BHOOTNATH RETURNS.
THANKS FOR COMING AND KEEP LIVING.
