Moonlight -A movie Review


The much talked about movie at all the award ceremonies was released for a select Indian audience two weeks before it officially releases in the theatres this week and it doesn’t fail to disappoint moviegoers as it delivers a story that was needed to be told with subtle dialogue to fill the gaps that you might come across at the end.The movie ends as a cliffhanger for the audience to interpret the ending.A movie set in Miami and the plot revolving around A African American man surviving at Miami with inner conflicts to deal with.The Movie is based on the play In moonlight ‘Black Boys look blue  Boys ‘by Tarell Alvin McCraney’And shows the Central characters in three stages of his life and each showing more and telling about the character.A great way of moving the story ahead.A must watch for an Audience looking out for offbeat story.

Danak !!! 


Danak a Hindi movie meaning “Rainbow “was released last year in  June , Is now Available on NetFlix India.From a filmmaker who’s movie you might recall but, might not be familiar with his name Nagesh Kukunoor who made “IQBAL” a movie based on a story of a guy who is ambitious about playing cricket but because of him being Physically challenged,Isn’t taken seriously.

Danak is made by him and produced by Drishyam films,A production house supporting low budget movies,With story ideas that would otherwise not be part of the celluloid.

Danak,A story about two Sibling,The brother a 8 years has lost his eyesight and one day while the family goes to watch a movie in the village the sister comes across an Ad saying SRK could help in donating eyes/Operating the eyes.And so she writes a letter to him,A few days later SRK is in Rajasthan shooting for film.

The movie follows their journey,In believing that SRK can only help them,Their stubbornness takes you on an emotional ride,of following their Dream and realising it.

A simple story,Yet effectively delivered on how Bollywood stars are seen as idols for their Fans.

Jolly LLB!! 


A franchise of Jolly L.L.B starring Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi,This one is more dramatised as it is Star Oriented and less story Driven.Akshay Kumar as a lawyer did the Job in both ways for the franchise getting a wider audience and getting his Act right.Anu Kapoor the defending lawyer,The replacement for Boman Irani also did a fairly good Job. But,The presence of Boman in the original story was more effective with his performance.The Story and the direction in the original was much more Crisp compared to the franchise jolly L.L.B 2.

The cases too, the drunk driving case in the original and the encounter case in the in the franchise two different cases was good choice of the writer and Director Subash Kapoor.The Music and Song were the focus in the franchise another change, compared to the originals.

Overall if seen as an individual movie,You are forced to think This is how and why our System is corrupt,The story too is released in a time in when justice is getting delivered and there is still hope for the hopeless who have given up on the Judiciary.
