Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani : by Rajkumar Santoshi

Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani marks the return of Raj Kumar Santoshi into mainstream rom-com genre.

Andaz Apna Apna has achieved cult status in the bollywood with its characters immortalized as the best in comic genre and Santoshi must be proud of it.

My expectation sky-rocketted..

Things going for APKGK :

* Katrina & Ranbir's fresh pairing

* Rocking Music by Pritam

Things failing for APKGK :

* Everything Else!

One of the dumbest movies to come in a long time , I wish I could find an iota of portion to cheer about....

High point of the Film : ' Tera Hone Laga Hoon' ,

Awesome rendition ...

Darn the rest!

Rating : 2.5 / 5.0

Children of Men : by Alfonso Cuarón

Children of Men is set as a dystopian fiction film with a troupe of brilliant artists , 'Claine' , 'Moore' & 'Owen'.

The world is set in 2027 , United Kingdom ,where the world is seeing infertility as a major concern , no human child born in last 18 years.

The world is collapsing with the exception UK as the only sane state , seeing millions of refugees take shelter. As an aftermath it has developed into a military police confinement.

Theo played by Clive Owen embarks on a journey to fetch travel permits for a young refugee girl named Kee for a substantial money.

Theo is flummoxed when he comes to know , Kee is pregnant , the glimmer of hope for mankind.

This forms the backdrop of the film , with Theo's objective to transport Kee to safety , and reach the 'Human Project' team working towards curing human infertility.

Some of the sequences in the movie had me boggled , specifically the 'Single Shot' sequences in extremely complex action scenes : -

• Theo searches for Kee in abandoned building where cross-firing is crescendo ( 454 sec)
• Kee gives birth to a child (200 sec )
• Theo , Kee & the baby walk past astonished soldiers of war.

The performances are exemplary , screenplay keeps the audience hooked , & the climax bowls you over.

No wonder , IMDB rates it amongst the best 250 flicks.

Rating : 4.0/5.0

Up : by Pete Docter

Pete Docter is back after his much acclaimed Pixar movie 'Wall-E'.

'Up' , the film talks about the journey of a kid who always wanted to be an explorer.

The flick goes into flashback on how Mr. Fredricksen was fascinated by world explorers and a cute teenager girl sharing common interests.

The story is about the unfulfilled wishes of this sweet couple to have a house at the beautiful 'Paradise Falls' in South America.

The screenplay depicts the plight of an old man where in modern age , his sweet home is surrounded by huge buildings and he becomes a recluse on demise of his senile wife.

Adventure begins when Mr Fredricksen decides to go up up n away in his house on helium balloons to Paradise Falls!!

On his journey , he is accompanied by Russel , a wilderness explorer.

'UP' is a feel-good adventure with fun filled moments to cherish. Pixar has always produced top-of-the-draw animation & this feature is no exception.

But for me still ' Wall-E' will be the ultimate animation flick , till something better comes along.

Rating : 3.5 / 5.0
