20. DIl Kabaddi (Hindi) (5/10)
A supposedly comedy based on lives of 2 couples and how each one of them is not too happy with it. Everyone has different reasons and is just not honest enough to share that with their partner. A few extra marital affairs, very few laughs and realization of mistakes, this film could have been edited much better and ended sooner than 2 hours. Always dependable Konkana was best of the lot.
21. First Snow (4.5/10)
A guy's life turns tailspin after a psychic tells that his life is limited but he is safe till the first snow. Very later that he can use this opportunity to plan for future of people around him after he's gone. He does certain nice things. After he miraculously escapes a killing from his ex best friend whom he feared al his life, he ends up dying in a car crash on a nasty snow day. A very slow film for me with decent performances. It seemed like a TV film.
22. Ghost Town (6.5/10)
Dentist Dr. Pincus, is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts. The movie was funy in a weird way. I liked it specially Dr Pincus.
23. Revolutionary Road (7.5/10)
A young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggle to come to terms with their personal problems while trying to raise their two children. Amazing amazing performances by Leonardo and Kate but the film was a bit too slow for me.
24. Kadachit (Marathi) (6/10)
A famous surgeon's life turns upside down when her father returns after a 20 year life imprisonment for killing his wife based on his daughter's testimony. It turns out that it was all imagination of the doctor as a little girl and how her confidence on herself starts getting down. Brave performance by Ashwini Bhave and others.
25. Gran Torino (9/10)
Disgruntled Korean War vet Walt Kowalski sets out to reform his neighbor, a young Hmong teenager, who tried to steal Kowalski's prized possession: his 1972 Gran Torino. Excellent performance by Clint Eastwood. The movie had small instances of humor even without trying hard.
26. Defiance (8.5/10)
I wasn't too sure about this one. But what a surprise it was in every aspect, be it story, direction of performance including Daniel Craig. Three Jewish brothers escape from Nazi-occupied Poland into the Belarussian forest, where they join Russian resistance fighters and endeavor to build a village in order to protect themselves and others in danger. A must see film
