road to sangam,,,way to go

Another gift from Allahabad after Hasil. A sensitive must watch movie for all. Carefully made without hurting sentiments of anyone. Provokes every1 to break to stop and think.

It’s based on the real story of a muslim mechanic fighting differences, anger and hatred among the community. He has a engine to repair which’ll be used to deliver Mahatma Gandhi’s remains into sangam. But his community is asking him to stop the work due to ongoing struggle with government. How he fights his dilemma and finally makes whole community agree to his cause, that’s the crux.

Acting is accurate as expected from veterans. But I fell for the backdrop of Allahabad. The language, innocent people and simple life everything is shown as virgin as it is. Had a nostalgic feeling throughout the movie.

Its funny discussing hurt locker vs avatar for oscar wen u have movies like this which dont leave a doubt over its quality and needs no award to prove its worth (although it has won many national and international ones and is being called the best Gandhi movie till date). 

My rating – 8

a quick summary

Hurt locker: beg to differ …..no lock to heart

i’ll put it simple, i just didn’t like the movie. Its like I m admitting a crime wen movie has gone all the way to Oscars.  if u ask me y, i’ll hv 2 scratch my head to think, infact i m surprised by those who like it n want to ask the same question to them, y?
i dint found nything appealing in the movie. typical american movie based on superman theme, where one is arrogantly enough for all. story was a one liner, that even supporters’ll agree. quite repetitive scenes. i found it a mediocre.

Infact if u don’t tell a man a word abt the movie and let him watch w/o any pre-notion it’ll b easy enough to ignore. My rating- 6
abt avatar, a gr8 effort is gone into movie which reflects on screen. kudos to them for opening a new chapter in movie making history. It shows wat cinema is capable of doing. And it gives people wat they come searching, entertainment. even though it cudnt gt oscar, it will find its share of praise at all right places.

What can I rate this milestone but a 10. 

a good way to pass ur afternoon!!

Its full of drama. Looks like an ordinary film. But one fact changes the whole thing. It’s a true story. U just cant believe it. Its amazing to see power of reality. How same scenes n dialogues create a different effect altogether on u now, wen u know it happened actually.
That’s ‘Dog day afternoon’ for you. A movie of 1975. But don’t leave it just bcos its old. It doesn’t matter at all wen there is Al pacino giving his best performance of all time. Mind you he was young at that time. And what energy he sparks into the movie!! Awesome!!
A one line story for curious ones, a bank robbery plan goes awry and events that take place involves whole nation into it. Surprises come up about robbers and before you know u r on their side.
For me most important part of movie is its first frame, when they write on screen, all that u r goin 2 see is for real!!
Verdict: 8/10
This movie also gave me another lead to movie Attica, which I m searching now desperately.


:)Happy watching!!
