Dangal
(2016)

Aamir is back with a stellar performance of a decade !
DANGAL is a masterpiece. A terrific film that stays in your heart and remains etched in your memory much after the screening has concluded. A brilliant film that restores your faith in Hindi cinema. Actually, it won't be erroneous to state that DANGAL is the finest film to come out of the Hindi film industry in a long, long time and mark my words, it will be remembered as a classic in times to come. It blends drama, emotions, sportsmanship and patriotism extraordinarily… the icing on the cake being Aamir Khan's towering act. This rich-in-merits film has a major advantage too -- the holidays ahead Christmas and New Year -- which will ensure a glorious run at the ticket counters. A must, must watch!

Prison Break
(2005)

Prison Break to be preserved as treasure! (Season I & II)
So many of my friends have suggested and recommended me to watch this series for quite long time since from 2005... but after all hype and promotions I downloaded the Season I & II only by now (2011) and watched back to back in just 4 days.

Man! I tell you I never seen any such series to be interesting and gripping this far... I tell you people this is what is called as best screen writing which holds peoples and leaves curiosity for what happens next. I never knew movies or stories can be made on prison break could be made this thrilling! I even felt Prison break season I & II could be published as novel as it has every contents to be made so. While the Season I is masterpiece the second half is like an engaging Hollywood action movie.

I gotta tell that almost everyone who have acted did their job well and notably the lead characters Lincoln Burrows, Scofield, Veronica, and Secret Agent Kellermen, FBI Agent Mahone, Cons T-Bag, Sucre and officer Bellick, Scofield's girlfriend Sara.. everyone lived their role rather just acting! I loved to see Wentworth Miller (Scofield) and Paul Adelstein (Paul Kellerman) on the screen who were amazing incredibly.

Background score was just as it has to be so as the art direction, while the editing was perfect! Folks my verdict is don't miss it, could be told as one should watch before he/she dies!

Avan Ivan
(2011)

Another stone in Bala's Crown though not a Diamond but a Gold!
Last Nite I'd been to National Award Winner director Bala's "Avan-Evan", I can't say its amazing but it has its own elements to boast about! Note, here more Actor Vishal will be in the list of method actors, besides he deserve National award for his sensational acting in this flick! Its going to be proved again that whoever acts in Bala's movie will fetch a place next to the list of top celebs and leading actors in tinsel town so as Surya, Vikram and Arya and its now time for Vishal! From the unexpected opening scene in a song sequence to raging youth set out to avenge in the end its Vishal who captures every spectators attention and leaves everyone awestruck. And Aarya's role is just to be careless younger brother with humor and he justified it! And one more important character one can never forget after Vishal when after the movie over, it is GM Kumar who comes as "Highness", a Jamindar! He had an done an extraordinary performance through out the movie and he went on to go nude before the camera to add more realism for a particular scene, hope he would receive awards and recognitions for his performance.

Bala is highly praised for his unique characters presentation in his movies earlier. Well here too lead actors are portrayed in a strange way in fact little weird as the Vishal was presented with Squinted eyes and Arya with pot head hair cut with their job as part time thieves and of course they are brothers with different mothers but same father. Well rest of the supporting character have done their role as what Bala had in his mind of course justified!

As for the story concerned one has to wonder where the story goes until the beginning of the second half where you will get an hint of what shall be the climax. Story is based on the characters, one has to travel along lead characters and screenplay is wielded in Bala's own trademark manner. Though the movie is slow paced in second half and has scenes reminding Pithamagan, Bala has never let us down in entertaining! It was predictable where the movie going to end but not until the middle of second half. Commercial movie portrayed in a realistic way, interesting and never seen supporting characters, exotic locations, stunning camera works, neat editing, realistic slapstick humors, Vishal's exceptional and bedazzling performance, Aarya's fun, Yuvan's Extraordinary background score and heart throbbing climax well these are the factors will amaze and amuse you! And the end result is it did stand the expectations! Here is my honest ratting 7.5/10!

Rocky
(1976)

one of the best
In the beginning the movie goes like usual and slow that may make action lovers to get irritated, but as the time flyby it creates some expectations. It makes us to get involved us in the movie and brings us to be the fans of Rocky Balboa for his much awaited boxing. Stallone has not acted in the movie but he lived as Balboa. The way he depicted the roles in the movie shows his master piece of work and his another face. And the climax of this movie brings the moviegoers to the corners of the seats with a bit tension of what going to happen next. And after he won the match without showing any signs of victory as a winners would do, he just go out of the ring and calls his lover. And this scene i was really impressed. On the whole it is a worth watch and a must seen family entertainment.
