The Rising!

As we had last weekend long enough (15th August holiday), so my frnds and me planned for movie Mangal Pandey.Shuvam and I was giving a lot of fight last week to book a ticket in PVR for it, but hard luck. So finally on Saturday we spend 3 hours to get a ticket in Multiplex.

One reason to watch the movie was, mega star Aamir Khan, though movie story also matters a lot to us irrespective of cast crew. On Sunday, when we read/heard lot of bad reviews of MP, we felt sad (specifically becoz whenever we (shuvam, gunajit etc) went for movie, it has turned to be a flop on box office..last movie we went was Kisna).

Anyways, when we saw the movie, we all found it good enough (at least not so bad as per reviews). I think there could be two reasons for dislike of ppl

1.There was no regular Ishq/family masala in movie

2.There was no enthusiastic ending to the movie (like good ppl having victory on evil, regular maar-dhaad).

It was a 3 hours movie on a brave soldier (history has only a small snippet of him) and whatever the director tried to depict was good enough.

I felt really good to watch such movie on 15th august, which shows how much struggle ppl have made to give freedom to us. Sati system, race difference etc all seems really sick and inhuman things. Thanks god, such procedures are not followed now days.

Apart from this, I got chance to catch up Forest Gumb.Tom hanks has brilliantly performed. Really , Hollywood directors think differently,all above the regular masala from bollywood style. And I know such movies will not be appreciated by our ppl. Though new generation is getting a lot of sense from Hollywood story line, but it will take a long time for us to adapt to such themes and follow in bollywood.
Hope to catch up more good movies soon!

Kisna.. how can one watch that movie especially paying by themselves. I watched it too but free.
Didnt get the chance to see Mangal Pandey as was at home n now no one left with whom I can go.
Yeah i agree Hollywood films r entirely different n if u start watching then then u would surely loose interest in Bollywood masala films.
