A LOVELY AAJ & KAL COCKTAIL

As most people might have figured out this is a story of two generations. Most of the movie keeps telling us how different love was in both generations but in the end it tells us its "love" afterall and how can it be different in any generation in any time. People meet the same fate and consequences in love on any position in the timeline. This is the basic philosophy of the movie. The philosophy is beautiful. The movie....even more beautiful...

Even though he is closing on his forties, Saif is more youthful than any other so called young actors and I really believe even in his eighties he will be a teenager. This youthfulness adds a different colour to the already colourful cinematography of Love Aaj Kal. So the story basically goes like, Jai Vardhan Singh (Saif) is dating Meera Pandit (Deepika) from two years and believes that love forever is a ****matic nonsense. At a juncture when Meera has to leave for India and Jai has to work in London and has an aspiration to work for the Golden Gate in San Fransisco, the madly happy couple break up and actually throw a break up party.

Veer Singh(Rishi Kapoor) then enters the scene later and brings with him an astonishingly sweet story of his young days where Saif plays the young Veer, a Sikh who loves a girl in the neighbourhood called Harleen. His heart breaks when he knows that Harleen has left Delhi and gone to Calcutta as her family had shifted. Right from this point the two stories start appearing similar and most appealing is the climax where both the climaxes converge.

Its hard to find a flaw leaving a few in this movie. Imtiaz Ali has grown ten folds as a director and has certainly improved from his last(Jab We Met) which was also a good enough movie. The screenplay is amazing and presents a fresh narration pattern, not much dared in Bollywood. This movie lacks the pompous expenditure like a Bhansali or Johar flick but the fact that the production was prudent and perfect made it have an amazing look. So thumbs up to Saif the producer too. Illuminati films certainly has a long way to go. Performances by the actors are amazing too. Saif the crazy '09 guy is excellent and so is the Saif the Sikh in the sixties and manages his Punjabi very well. Deepika brings a fantastic craziness yet maturity into her role and the unknown and under the wraps girl who plays the role of Harleen Kaur is the height of cuteness and beauty..

With lots of catchy phrases and dialogues, Love Aaj Kal is definately a fun ride but it would teach you a nice lesson on love with some mature thoughts too. The music is amazing and fresh and the track Dooriyan stands out and Mohit Chauhan's voice has a certain pain which makes this the theme of the film. So as I said its really hard to find a fault in this movie. Hats off to every member of the film and all I got to say is Aaj Kal you wont find such films too often....that certainly makes you Love this one!

WHERES THE SCISSOR??

MOVIE: Transformers- Revenge of the Fallen

DIRECTOR: Michael Bay

CAST: Shia LeBeouf, Megan Fox

Lets be clear about something before you read further; This movie is just a display of how good the special effects in Hollywood is and how good Megan Fox looks. If you are looking for something logical or something with some substance, then this is not the movie to watch. Its a sequel to the first part as most might know.

The first part saw the death of the Megatron; but in this part Megatron is revived by Skorpinox's spark after the latter steals his dead body from the safest US Military naval base. But before this and after this is a mad race of unreal machines fighting, firing, cracking jokes, some with toilet humor and along with their story runs the story of a special guy, Sam(LeBeouf) and his girlfriend Mikaela(Fox) who run around purposelessly(dare I say this to the screenplay writer)

The worst part of the movie is its editing(even with four editors, probably because of that). Zero stars to the editor. Its too long. Then further zero stars to the screenplay as the person has strived very hard to keep the viewers engaged. So in the end, rather being engaged, you just realise that someones making efforts to keep you engaged.

The only appreciable thing in the movie is the SFX, undoubtedly. Bringing such an unreal world into reality is the credit of the SFX team. Also some of the funny scenes in the first half were good, but you feel bad later on as they have little relevance then.

The movie surely costs a lot. Hats off to the producer who in the demand of this third grade script was ready to fund for the most impossible locations, from creating artificial US Military Bases to roaming around in Egypt to breaking several cars and also a pyramid, lot of million USDs have gone into this no brainer , pseudo-entertainer.... If people have so much money to throw(including those who are watching this movie, including me!), then why doesnt the condition of people in Sudan improve!
