    Review
    I didn't say much in the plot coz there isn't much to it. Most of you might have seen kya kool hain hum already long back so you must know why you're going to watch it. The film explores all kinds of below the belt jokes explicitly and even offensively at many places. So the foremost thing to keep in mind is that you should not go with family. It might sound a bit stupid for me to tell but I was astonished to see some families in theater even after the nature of the movie is pre announced.

    There is really not much to talk about. The movie follows a basic storyline with nothing to offer to the scripting part. Everything is put as lame as it may sound in a vulgar manner. Not much left for the direction as well and you might think at many times that it's just a standup comedy show filled with double meaning humor. Tushar and Ritesh are good as they were in the prequel. The female leads have nothing much to offer but Neha Sharma is damn cute. Anupam Kher played his part nicely. Now all this movie is about some filthy liners, offensive humor and below the belt jokes. They have practically left no scope to add more. But the fact is that they make you laugh at most of the places. Probably they are trying to push in the genre of sex comedy in Bollywood. Some of the jokes are stale and repulsive while others will make you laugh out loud. The songs are good without the need though. But they certainly are enjoyable. There is nothing new to anything but its still entertaining and will make you laugh. By you I am pointing at the youth as I said earlier that the movie is not for families. So the youth especially guys may find it good as it is aimed towards them only but the prequel was better even in that sense.

    Review
    When I watched The Dark Knight, I assumed that no superhero movie can be made better than it. It gave a new outlook to a superhero image. I desperately waited for the epic finale for these years and hoped and wished that it doesn't ruin the series as it is difficult for a director to make a successor of a movie that was so much appreciated.

    The movie started introducing Bane as the villain and as soon as bane spoke I felt that this should not be the voice of a villain that is associated as bone crusher. Well the scene was terrific as bane escaped which obviously is not a spoiler. Unlike every part especially The Dark Knight, the villain here is already a big fish and extremely strong. Earlier the villains grew big with the movie. I guess it had to be done for the finale. But the best part is that he grew even more stronger and darker as the film proceeded to an extent that he was obviously the best villain I have ever seen. I would not compare it with the Joker as they both depict a different criminal trait. Joker's motive was different than Bane. His aim is not Batman but the people of Gotham. There is no scope for comparison. Bane here is ruthless and believe me he is too strong. His character developed after the viewers get to know who he is and what he is capable of. A good choice to create difference between the earlier parts by Nolan.

    Tom Hardy seems to be the best choice for Bane. As stated earlier about voice, I started loving his voice as the amplifications and range were modified and the voice seemed pretty interesting as it has been manipulated as per the requirement of the scene. Christian Bale has always given his best and I don't feel any other guy can fit in that costume better than him. He is just tremendous. Especially in this installment he has given a terrific performance. Most of the people were concerned with Anne Hathaway as the cat-woman. I really don't want to talk about her earlier performances in her earlier movies but she is suited quite well in her character.The persona, the temperament, the appearance, the traits all fits well in Hathaway. I am very much pleased with the choice of Nolan. Other performances are amazing as well as usual. Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine are great like they have been.  But Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt who were fresh faces to the series did great too.

    Now the direction. Well I simply think that Christopher Nolan is the God of Cinema. I have never seen a better director than him. Directing a movie after the major hit and world wide appreciation for The Dark Knight is definitely not everyone's piece of cake. I just loved the script. The way it is designed is awesome but it couldn't have come better in any other hands except Nolan's. Great cinematography and great screenplay. The visual effects are marvelous. But most importantly they are not wasted over useless scenes. Every CG scene was required and fulfilled efficiently. The action sequences are breath taking especially the one towards the climax. One more thing which I would like to include is the Background Score and seriously hats off to Hans Zimmer. The score just refined the movie to another level.

    Overall the movie is a masterpiece and even more. Chris Nolan has outdone himself again clearly. I don't think there could have been a better end of the Epic Saga than this one. With such a big run time I could not take my eyes off even for a moment and I could notice myself watching bending forward with eyes glued in the excitement towards the end. I just loved the climax and would like to stay quiet on it as it's worth knowing by yourself and a single word may ruin the experience. It is one of the finest piece in the history of superheroes movies. I don't think anything can be better. A truly worth watch and maybe you will desperately feel to watch again flick. Yes, The Dark Knight Rises and outdoes everything far behind.

    The Amazing Spider-Man


    Genre : Action | Adventure | Fantasy
    Runtime : 136 min
    Director : Marc Webb

    Plot
    A reboot to the Spider-Man series, it is centered on Peter Parker who's keen to know how his parents disappeared.

    Review
    I had loved the earlier series and as Spider-Man had been my favorite superhero in childhood, I was so eager to watch this reboot. Also I had prior information that it portrays the actual character of Peter Parker and the script with reference to the comics. And that's what it does. I loved the similarities even between the comics and the movie.

    First of all, Marc Webb deserves an applause for making such a reboot. Brilliant direction of the movie by him seriously. A guy who just have a past experience of 500 Days of Summer which was a romantic comedy has done wonders in this superhero flick. I was always disturbed by the fact that Peter can throw webs from his hand. Its not the same now and its what should be referred with cartoons. Anyways lets not get deeply involved in the comparisons. Andrew Garfield is great in the superhero avatar. I am listening people are not liking his act as its too amateurish for them. But ask from yourself, what will you do (if you're a teenager) and you're suddenly blessed with superpowers? The character of Peter Parker is portrayed effectively and Garfield has provided optimum judgement to it. Emma Stone is nice as Gwen and has done good in her parts. I loved the cinematography. Very good use of camera in few scenes.

    The script was engaging and not much happened too soon but I liked the character development. Things are not rushed and hence the big running time. They have used this installment to build up the character of Spider-Man strongly as well as introducing important characters in his life like Gwen and Dr. Curt Connors. It definitely allows us to know more deeply about Peter Parker. The comic timing is very good except maybe a a scene or two. Action scenes are superb and I will again like to include in the use of camera which is commendable. The best part of the movie was that it forced me and the rest of the audience to hoot, shout, applause, laugh at so many places. One sec! I almost forgot about the 3d effects. Well seriously the people who expect every 3d movie to be like Avatar should better watch in 2d. For the rest, the 3d effects are awesome at so many places. Watch out for the climax scene which was a perfect 3d end. As usual (being a Marvel movie), they have left a teaser at the end. So just wait for the credits and you'll get the look of the teaser. Loved the movie on whole.

    (500) Days of Summer


    Genre : Comedy | Drama | Romance
    Runtime : 95 min
    Director : Marc Webb

    Plot
    As the title suggests, a romantic comedy centered around a girl who don't believe in love and a guy who falls for her.

    Review
    I really wasn't able to make out anything out of the title. Summer is actually the name of the character played by Zooey Deschanel. It is actually 500 days of her relationship with Tom played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Before I can pen down on the movie critically I would like to say for the quick readers that the movie is exceptional to the genre of Rom-Com.

    I really wanna say that this is not an old formula romance tale in which a couple meet, they fight and fall in love. This is something quite different and that's why I found it exceptionally good. The script of the movie is quite refreshing. Thumbs up really to the script writers. But that could have been poor without a proper direction. That's where Marc Webb has done awesome with his debut movie. I quite liked the non linear direction which is not confusing but interesting for a romantic comedy. Screenplay is nice not perfect. The movie deserved even better acts but Levitt and Deschanel did nice. One thing that I must say is that this is not a story which might find everyone adoring it. As I said its quite different and that's why not all can digest it. Watch it if you want top watch something different. I completely loved it. Also the climax is just brilliant and one of a kind.

    Director : Prabhu Deva

    Plot
    Shiva is a small time thief in love with Priya. Everything changes as he finds a six year old girl Neha who believes him to be her dad!

    Review
    I was never much interested in this flick as Bollywood has now taken such kind of movies as a blessing. They provide entertainment without any concept of materialistic script and people are liking them in a row. I was bored and just watched it. Now maybe I am too lucky these days as I am finding myself amused after watching movies.

    The movie actually is entertaining. I believe the script is better than most of such kind of films recently but still not quite materialistic. The entertainment factor solely is Akshay Kumar obviously. He's kind of good after so many disasters or maybe its the direction of Prabhu Deva who could bring out better of him. Songs in the movie are useless and often irritating as they happen to crawl in randomly without any need. But a Bollywood movie without extra songs can be a difficult leap for producers. Talking about songs, Pritam Pyaare was special for me as Shakti Mohan (I love her) was one of the item girls in the song. It was lovely to watch her dancing after such a big gap. Sonakshi Sinha is useless and is just forced down in the script. The first half is entertaining though there is hardly any story development in the first 45 minutes. Second half was a little boring for me. There are some useless sequences which just fills in the lengthy runtime of the movie. Overall action is what you usually see but can be considered nice.Pretty much dialogues are loud and overly done. There are a lot of flaws that can be counted. Still overall its a nice piece of entertainment. Maybe Prabhu Deva should not think of a sequel to it.

    Nice Entertainer
