Just Me - India

Rating: **

This is a movie you probably do not want to see, unless the world of warevolves and strange creatures in the dark interest you. No its not a horror movie, but about the lives of generations of warevolves and hybrid (wolves,bats,humans) creatures; indulging in fights.

Perhaps there are people who like this kind of stuff, i am amazed that such movies are even released in India. They are just not for indian audiences.  A person with more eclectic taste in these kind of stories would award it better rating.

Although the special effects and the strange creatures were done well.

Again: Why do they make these kinds of movies. Is there an audience for these, anywhere in the world??

This is a book that starts off with a great promise, even the few lines summary in the back cover page interests you. But it fails to deliver completely.

It is a story about the lives of few individuals working in a Call Center. This story is apparently told to the writer by a girl whom he meets in the train. It starts off fairly well, but loses track very soon, and goes on and on about their relationships with one another. It is almost as if, the writer wanted to write some sort of a relationship book. More than 50% of the book deals with that - something u were not expecting from a book with this title !!

The last few chapters of the book are unbelievably bad. Almost as if the writer was in tremendous hurry to finish it. After reading this, there is no interest left to read an earlier book by this same author: Five Point Someone.

Highlights:

• The book is correctly priced only at Rs 95.
• Not a very big book, easy to read (large fonts).
• Storyline, not very good. Too much focus on discussing relationships of all sorts. You start wondering - whats going on !
• The end is bad, and not well-thought out. Rushed finish.

Can anyone write something and become an author?

Overall a fun movie. It is set in a village, that is poor and in debt. And then someone wins a 1 crore lottery and the fun starts. The cast is good. The comic timing and laughter value is average, not excellent. It manages to make u laugh.

Highlights:

• Good actors, make you laugh.
• Does not pretend to be anything other than a simple village based laughter riot. Succeeds somewhat.
• No songs in the movie, a rather short movie.
• Dialogues and situations could have been even more funnier.

Rating: *** 1/2

Its a movie that could have been much better.

The overall theme and style of movie making is interesting and different. A story about young folks who are disillusioned by the 'system' and decide to take revenge in their own way. It draws some parallels between different eras - one of the pre-independence, and other of 'today'. It was a good attempt, but in my opinion it did not really work completely.

Some highlights:

• Aamir Khan and rest of the cast have done a good job
• Music is ordinary.
• Story and Screenplay is interesting, could have been better, especially post-intermission.
• is a fairly big hit...

This is really a nasty movie, deserving very little pace here. Even if you do not have anything to do, do not see this one. I did not see it beyond intermission.

Don't the directors see their movie post production?

I do not know for sure, but it looked like a rip-off from some other movie, and the rip-off went horribly wrong.

That summarizes it. :)
