review: Amit Sahni Ki List

 

 

Cast: Virr Das, Vega Tamotia, Anindita Nayar, Kavi Shastri

Direction: Ajay Bhuyan

Genre: Romance

Story: Amit Sahni Ki List is a quirky first-person account of a sophisticated investment banker who's looking for the 'perfect' girl and 'perfect' relationship.

Review: Move over chick flicks for guy flicks have arrived and it's only fair that rom-coms are now being made about boys looking for 'Miss Right'. With his sharp wit and refreshing nonchalance, Virr Das in the titular role brings out the irony of the situation effortlessly. He makes a list of qualities that his lady love must possess. In a hilarious opening scene, he even dumps a girl for not liking Sachin Tendulkar. And since 'opposites attract', he falls for a free-spirited Mala (Vega Tamotia). But Cupid plays a cruel game when Devika (Anindita Nayar), the girl of Amit's dreams (read list), comes into his life soon after.

Pizza 3D Review By Mayank Shekhar

Director: Akshay Akkineni
Actors: Akshay Oberoi, Parvathy Omanakuttan

Wait, I thought I’d walked into a horror film, having lowered my expectations anyway. Horror, like pure comedy, whether good or bad, has an uncomplicated relationship with its audience. You go in for the laughs in the latter, and to feel frightended at least for a few seconds, every now and then, in the former. Story is secondary. Sometimes bad horror movies make you laugh, but that’s part of the fun.
This picture starts off quite slickly, with top-rate graphic storytelling for opening credits. The background score, at least for its sound design, is of high quality. The sets look well done. And there is 3D for bonus effect.
But you know what, none of this is supposed to matter. All you need to scare the pants off the audience is to make them believe that what’s happening to the characters on screen could be happening to them. God knows, movies shot like home videos have achieved that phenomenally well: The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Actvity are only two best known (relatively) recent examples. Closer home, Ram Gopal Varma’s Bhoot and his production Vaastushastra, with their setting and situations, could rock your seat.
Given how distant you feel from the two loser type main characters in this movie, and the few scenes when ghosts appear are inserted so callously into the picture, you wonder if the filmmakers were even attempting to scare you at all. There is not a moment of effective horror. There is absolutely no humour. What’s the point then?

Movie review: ‘Hate Story 2′ is a Hot Story

Hate Story 2 has a sense of affection like many of those epic revenge sagas made in our Indian cinema. The problem is that after setting an apt plot, it doesn’t do much justice to it.
Cast- Surveen Chawla, Jay Bhanushali, Sushant Singh
Director- Vishal Pandya
Music Director- Mithoon, Meet Bros Anjjan, Rashid Khan
In a scene the female protagonist Surveen Chawla out of angst over her lover’s (Jay Banushali) murder, assaults one of the killers physically by tying him on a chair. The scene stirs angst against the killer after you know that innocent Jay was slayed mercilessly, but despite that you are not able to connect with the scene and it departs giving you an empty feeling.
Hate Story 2 has a sense of affection like many of those revenge sagas made in our Indian cinema. The problem lies here is that after setting an apt plot, it doesn’t do much justice to it.
Debutant director Vishal Pandya picks a vindictive idea and attempts to make it as gruesome as he can. After exotic romance and dreadful assassination in the first half, the flick follows vengeful killing of the murderers in the second half.
