7-9, 12-3 & 3-5!!

This is a just another random post by me. It has been an amazing Sunday for me. Amazing it is(the day is not over yet) for I had a much needed indulgence in one of my favorite & self proclaimed vocations. And that vocation is MOVIE WATCHING.

Today, it was a nearly '6-9,9-12, 12-3, 3-6 & 6-9' experience for me. For I have been tirelessly watching movies back to back the whole day. And feeling happy about it. And all but one have been HINDI movies. I do NOT prefer English flicks. Not that I completely ignore them and all.

The day started with Rocket Singh. A BOLLYWOOD flop. So, I did not expect much from it. And this Shimit Amin film surprised me. A good watch, certainly. The interview scenes and the first-few-days-at-work scenes are very realistic.

The next movie in line was THE GODFATHER. The first of the series. The book has been adapted into the movie quite well, well... brilliantly actually. Long Live Mario Puzo, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino.

The third movie was TAHAAN. The movie is a low budget movie. But, I loved it for its simplicity. A completely different story line. And a great performance from the child actor who played the character Tahaan.

The next was THE BLUE UMBRELLA. This movie has everything in it. A mix of a good script, a nice story, good screenplay, great cinematography & great direction. And in addition to the aforementioned points, this movie also has great music, nice locates and good actors that includes one of India's greatest (yet under-rated) actors, Pankaj Kapur. A must watch.

The 5th movie (just imagine) I saw today is (in my opinion) the best ever gang-war depiction movie made by the Indian film industry. One word that comes to my mind when I think about this movie is ANACHRONISM. I cannot believe that this movie was made in the times when most of the industry was busy making romantic duds & stretched-beyond-elastic-limit melodramas. And I realize this after exactly 12 years since the movie released.This movie depicts the typical consequences of the city underworld gang war & bloody rivalry. How bad situations & early events in life can lead a sane human being into a difficult, relentless & unforgiving world of crime!  SATYA is a must watch. A classic. An epic. Brutal violence with a touch of shy romance. And a brilliant caption at the end " My tears are as much for Satya as are for the people whom he killed."

I lost on to watching these movies in the cinema hall. Of course, an exception to this is THE GODFATHER. Because, it has never released here in India in the cinemas.

Five great movies in a day. Sunday, a fun day.

Two posts in a single day.

Well, I am being true to my saying. I am CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT.
