COCKTAIL movie review

 Watched COCKTAIL today@LEPL INOX

The publicity department has rocked the movie with its publicity, making it one of the most awaited Hindi flicks in this Year. The songs are a win-win, right from its audio release. The concept of one guy, two girls and an emerging love tale isn't an innovative subject matter for Hindi movies. Lots of movies have come in recent times with similar kind of plot. But that ends the comparison with COCKTAIL. The romance & friendship with the threesome adds the necessary alcoholic content to this Cocktail.

Well, straight to the point...I feel that the movie is Above Average with different screenplay and dexterity in handling the three diverge characters of the script. The Concept is kind of fresh and narration of the movie is very kinda new.

Punchline : Awesome Threesome

Highlights:

• Wonderful performances by the Deepika Padukone, Saif & Diana Penty.
• Good Screenplay with right twists when needed.
• Good cinematography by Anil Mehta.
• Music by Pritam is good, especially when seen on screen.
• Good climax and happy ending finally.
• Costumes are not only graceful, but also, they definitely dictate the wardrobes of the youth.
• Three divergent characterizations of the lead cast.
• Background score by Salim Sulaiman are classy and blends with the script well.
• The screen presence and chemistry between Saif and Deepika needs a special mention.
• Deepika Padukone steals the show all through the movie and Nails her character to the core with ease (One of her best performances I would say).                
  
  

Lowlights:

• Second half could have been crispier and narration at times, paces down in various junctures of the flick.
• It isn't that regular entertaining kind of Bollywood flick. It gets well with the metro multiplexes and hence might not do well with regular movie lovers.
• Second half lack the binding to the seats matter when compared to the first half of the movie.

My Suggestion:  Can watch it once, for the TRIO performances of the lead cast.

Well coming to the rating, it is 3.15/5 (This is my personal opinion on this particular movie - U watch the movie and decide for yourself).

Eega Movie Review

Watched Eega today@LEPL INOX,

               Eega is been in news right from its announcement. After release of the teasers the entire Telugu film industry got curios about this magnanimous graphics extravaganza. Everyone was literally waiting for this movie. Though the movie has been postponed serially, finally EEGA has been on screen yesterday (6^th July, 2012).

Well, straight to the point...I feel that the movie is Average. The story is a routine revenge formula known for ages. Villain irks the hero and kills him; hero gets back to villain in some form and takes revenge on the villain.

Punch line: Eega effect la Gola

Highlights:

• Production values of  Vaarahi Chalanachitram are of top class.
• Cinematography is good. Especially the scenes which includes CG which are very painstaking for the cinematographer. Senthil has tried his best to get this output.
• Sudeep’s Performance. He steals the show in the entire movie. He is very apt for the character.
• Eega obviously.
• Background score is good and gels well with the audience and the narration of the story. Especially in the emotional scenes.
• Visual Effects steals the show (Most of the work done by MAKUTA VFX). Especially with Eega’s mannerisms and emotions.
• Rajamouli's making skills need a special mention.

Lowlights:

• If any big hero had done this film, it would have been a disaster. Nani has very little footage (Approximately 30 mins max)
• Second half is patchy with illogical elements in narration.
• Entertainment quotient is less in the second half. Apart from Nani’s performance and Tagubothu Ramesh's one hilarious scene.
• Though the story has nothing new to offer, Eega is one of a kind movie from Telugu industry which would be talked after. (At National Level for its efforts and making skills)

     My Suggestion: It’s up to you guys. Kids will enjoy the movie for sure.

Well coming to the rating, it is 3/5 (This is my personal opinion on this particular movie - U watch the movie and decide for yourself). Another 0.25 can be added only for Visual effects.
