PAANCH PROTOTYPE

Here are few movies that had me thinking,that were different,and to say so weird.....totally unconventional in their approach;here they go in an ascending order


5. IRREVERSIBLE-at first, i wanted to see this movie just because of monica bellucci and expected the usual stuff..but when i saw this movie..it just tore me apart.(first of all a warning for people who may watch this movie-THIS IS A TOTAL GRAPHIC MOVIE,WHAT HAS BEEN DEPICTED IN THIS MOVIE IS REAL,YET TOTALLY CRUEL,HARD-HITTING ,GRAPHIC AND FOR SOME PERVERTS-!!!SEXY!!! ,moreover this is not a movie suited for homophobics).....i just loved the way things have been depicted in this movie(movie starts from the end and ends at the beginning)..a total different approach..weird but totally intriguing camerawork to go with it...and the relevance of the title throughout...

p.s. love these kind of true movies that depict endings that are not fairy taled

4.BLUFF MASTER/SWINDLED-First is a hindi flick while the latter is its spanish counterpart....both are light hearted ,value for money movies.....but the thing that sets them apart is their anti climax and the story....its their sense of unpredictibily that sets them ...u never know which way the movie goes ....and the topic is really different- conmen and all....looks really nice on screen- people bluffing so effortlessly

3.babel/yuva-the thread linking both of these is it that they show how a single thing can have its effect throughout.....yuva states the condition of youth in india and( i know dat its not a widely acclaimed movie..yet i somehow feel related to the three type of youth showed.1.leaders..2.confused..3.wrong pathed) is a remark over the soceity....
whereas babel has a global msg....how a silly juvenile mistake gives bad name to a sect and its ppl and an event has its effect throughout the world..and how lives change ,impact movies i had say
p.s.-loved brad pitt cry like a man in babel


2.darna mana hai- well its lame but still i liked it....have to admit....havent seen a movie like that....what a different concept.....various different stories...listened by sum wannnabe youngsters in order to get killed....wow...great...abiding by its title....it gave u no chance to be scared....but yeah each and every story was weird and had me scratching my head

1. DOR- i had to give this to one of my fave. director nagesh kuknoor(btw...hav loved all his works-rockford,hyderabad blues,iqbal) +yeh honsla....melody personified + the touching story+shreyas talpade(the actor) =MINDBLOWING....nothing else i dont want to describe this one coz u have to see and feel it...no words

VOTE FOR .....nanana... vote against..

This sounds really weird and preachy to me but it’s the ‘in thing’ as we say…
ELECTIONS I know the word is as tasteless as an over chewed chewing gum but cant escape it. As a matter of fact my last dream was all about elections and voting and I encouraging people to vote and all…btw I had another dream of a nice metro meetin…well that’s a different story. Coming back to the theme…as the nation decides its next govt. me as a soon to be adult am just too confused to decide the importance and real use of voting.
Well Delhi is still to have elections but with the trend set by rest of metro cities it looks like that there is not gonna be too much of voting here …reason being??? Reason being
‘who cares??” attitude in general and some set notions in particular…I mean people have conditioned themselves not to go for voting. All right they have their reason and I am no one to question them as each one looks at their reason as a genuine one and to be frank it’s a democratic country , and its their prerogative to either vote or not… . Nonetheless its great to see everybody making a sincere effort in making everybody realize the value of each vote .Loads of personalities coming up for the cause but the results were not good…people didn’t bother to turn up to cast their vote…it was like- by the personalities ,for the personalities and to the personalities….all u could see was celebs proudly raising their middle fingers posing for the camera to show that they voted…I mean surely all heads turned their way and people were excited to see the stars come and vote and expressions like’oye bhaisaab tune dekha aj ka newspaper...abbe wo inkalab bach-chalan and his whole family voted and were showing their middle fingers, mast tha yaar’were seen and I was more inspired by the owner of Calcutta knightmares who was so much conscious of his duties that he came back from SA and thus forgo to see another thrashing of his team just ….just …to cast his vote and …and,more importantly to attend a function for which he had been paid a hefty amount to dance and entertain the people there…that’s truly commendable, him being such a sheer professional …hats off man…
But the actual picture was dim ,dull with a voting even less than previous time showing this campaigning didn’t help. Its does not seem like democracy or maybe it is , of a higher degree – people democratically not voting..maybe they are right on their part…who isn’t? So no probs…….
