MOTHER!

 Starring- Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, Emily Hampshire, Brian Gleeson, and Michelle Pfeiffer.   Directed By- Darren Aronofsky. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've watched this movie twice in 3 days. First, I wasn't quite too sure what to say about this movie. Because the ending didn't make any sense at all. But at the second attempt, I'm quite happy to say that this was a classic film by Darren Aronofsky.   If you watch the poster of the movie you will notice that Jennifer Lawrennce skin looks like cement and we cant find this frame in the entire movie. From this we can understand that Darren is symbolically representing what had happened and what is happening to earth since the birth of human life on it, in this film. Darren Aronofsky has crafted yet another cinematic masterpiece and this one combines literature and bibliography to deliver a really heart breaking message about ...

Badmaash Company (2008)

 Starring- Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Vir Das, Meiyang Chang, Kiran Juneja, Jameel Khan, Alexandra Vino with Pawan Malhotra, and Anupam Kher. Directed by- Parmeet Sethi --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A bright young man, Karan, played by Shahid Kapoor, is clear that he doesn't want to spend his life as a worker drone-like his dad. Karan dreams of getting rich quick.  He starts out as a carrier for a small-time smuggler and eventually moves his way up to bigger con jobs and bigger bucks. Three friends join him on this stratospheric journey, which must end as it always does, in self-destructive decadence, fighting, break-up, regret, and various life lessons  learned.  The first half of  Badmaash Company  is pure gold in my opinion.  None of us see Yash Raj Films for an insight into reality. YRF were the experts at giving us a fantasy fix. Movie's storyline is really awesome. Shahid K...

 Starring- Sanjeev Kumar, Saeed Jaffrey, Farida Jalal, Shabana Azmi, Faaroqh Sheikh, and Amjad Khan. Directed By- Satyajeet Ray ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weston   Wound not my bleeding body. Throw flowers gently on my grave. Though mingled with the earth, I rose up to the skies. People mistook my rising dust for the heavens. It's enough for me to have a interest in, basically story of one of Great man's adaptation and directed by Satyajit Ray. This movie is a very helpful content to understand the British attitude towards their India rulers. It mostly emphasis on the attitude of jagiradars towards British rule in India, that they really have nothing to do with the ongoings in Indian subcontinent. One of the best historical period drama ever made. It so meticulously shows the Policy of Annexation by Lord Dalhousie & the times of Wajid Ali Shah revolving around the story of two chess addicts.
