Eklavya Movie Review

Eklavya: A thumbs down below expectations Vidhu Vinod Chopra is an interesting film maker. His first outing Parinda was a classic for the 80s. But 1942 a love story was unusually bland with no one feeling much for Anil Kapoor's dilemma. Mission Kashmir again did not do enough justice to its theme as a movie about terrorism. If we look at all these movies, the central theme could in a way be construed as decision making dilemmas: what is right and wrong in a grandiose canvass (underworld, freedom struggle, terrorism). Vidhu Vinod Chopra extends the same with a liberal use of dharma concepts and Mahabharat references right from the title sequence itself. The movie starts with Amitabh in his baritone explaining the story of Eklavya to a kid( a voice that reminds of you the old DD chanda ek sooraj ek NFDC cartoons). The kid who grows upto Saif says that Eklavya was wrong. The story in short is that Eklavya(Amitabh) is the guard of a decadent royal family somewhere in Rajasthan. The mo

Dent of the year

There is something amazing about Karan Johar and his movies... Maybe I like them more when I watch it flights where I sit in economy class and look at business class with a sense of awe even though I fly almost every second week.. Does it mean I would be happier if I get to fly business class ? That's the wrong question ... It does prick me and I sigh at times or wait with impish glee at that elusive upgrade ...the world that Karan Johar paints is similar to that ... Karan johars movies are after all the business class of bollywood entertainment.... The environment can be spotlessly squeaky and sugary sweet but the emotions are real ... Can't Mukesh Ambani have issues raising his son, just like Raichand in kabhi khushi kabhi gum ... And these emotions are the same --- Loss /discovery of love be it from girlfriends or parents / rich vs poor ...Richness is everywhere be it in the locations, upholstery or the emotions in true Bollywood style with a gaiety and pomp Ka tadka

Varane Avashyamund : Slow brew of emotions that is a good tea time snack not a wholesome dinner

Varane Avashyamund is made by a person who loved the golden age of Malayalam cinema of the late 80s when simple stories were told with great mix of characters and a nice blend of light hearted banter and true relatable emotions ( mother -son, brother -sister). The directors could bring alive stories like a man coming back from the Gulf but not getting the welcome he anticipated. A houseowner who struggles to get rid of a tenant despite serious financial difficulties and ends falling in love with the tenant. One such director was Sathyan Anthikad whose son Anoop Sathyan makes his debut with Varane Avashyamund. Like a family Biryani recipe he opens up his fathers spice box and starts the process of film making. Does he get the Biryani right like his father? Almost but not fully. Well he gets the aroma right that draws you to the plate, you nibble on the grainy rice but the gravy is not well coated. Thats what Varane Avashyamund feels like. Given the heavy emphasis on characte
