Rog (2005)
An honest thriller. Should be watched for Irfan Khan's Acting, great dialogues and gripping suspense
Where to start. It is one my favourite sunday afternoon movie, where I want to see some passionate cinema with deep philosophical dialogues. Just watch the first scene of the movie and you will be hooked.
According to credits, movie is written by Mahesh Bhatt and is loosely based on Hollywood movie Laura (which I have not seen). The movie is among those Indian movies which feature normal everyday language dialogues with deeper meanings, which is found otherwise in Anurag Kashyap cinema. It has real life-like grey characters instead of mythological Ram or Ravan characters, out of which majority of Indian cinema is composed of.
The actress Ilene Hamann (Maya) has done the job given to her. She is supposed to be beautiful, mysterious and mesmerizing. She does all the three jobs beautifully.
Some of the dialogues in this movie are outstanding which are rarely seen in Indian cinema.
Suhel Seth (Harsh) is an irritating character (to me), though it might be a deliberate characterization.
Irfan Khan (Inspector Uday Rathore) has played his role excellently where he is shown as a depressed policeman falling for a woman who he has seen only in a picture. The chemistry between Irfan and Illene is outstanding depicting two lonely souls finding solace in purity of their affection. I wanted to see more scenes of main lead couple, but alas, it's not a romantic movie.
Munish Makhija has played his part well as assistant and friend of Irfan. He should be in more movies.
Another outstanding feature of the movie is its music by M.M. Kareem. KK and Udit narayan are marvellous in 'Maine Dil se kaha' and 'Khoobsoorat', both of which are written by Nilesh Mishra. Lyrics of these songs beautifully describe the intended meaning and situation in the story, which used to be a feature in old movies but is absent nowadays and already readymade songs being fitted into situations.
Overall you should see the movie for Irfan Khan's Acting, some great dialogues, gripping suspense and Ilene's mesmerizing beauty.
The November Man (2014)
One of the best spy movie!
I don't know what has happened to reviewers on IMDb. Whether the general population is losing its IQ or something. You find bad reviews about even some of the best movies!!! I agree to another reviewer here (who like it!), it is the best spy movie after Bourne series. If you like spy movies/action/thriller movies, you will like this one. I would rate it better than fake recent bond movies, which seem like waste of time compared to this. Pierce Brosnan is even better than his bond movies and did the job pretty well. Ignore the bad reviews. Go ahead and enjoy this one of the better movies of 2014.
To all the haters. If you don't like spy movies, please don't go see one...duh! And if you cant understand simple plots, you need to go and see a doctor.
Ted (2012)
Amazingly Funny and Brilliantly written movie
How many times you come across a movie where you can really laugh. Its a rarity. Films like 'Old School", Hangover or Ted come after a long time.However, looking at so many negative reviews here (really surprised though), I would recommend watch this movie only if you generally like watching comedies and crave for them (like me).
Ted is surprisingly funny, with some really funny and witty dialogues. It is also somewhat a reflection on what a person considers what life is and whether only a certain things count rather than all of it.
Movie has Mark Wahlberg who is natural in the role and Ted, voiced by Seth Macfarlane, brilliant in his dialogue delivery and delivering fun punches. I think only Vince Vaughn can match him in this area. Mila Kunis is fine with her role.
Overall a freaking fun ride. Go for it!
