September Number is 27

27. Sikandar (Hindi) (5.5/10)
An interesting film from a child's perspective. How a young teenage child is forced and used for militancy without him being realizing what he has to do with an interesting twist towards the end. Nice performances by Parzan Dastur, Madhavan and Sanjay Suri. The movie holds interest initially, loses steam towards the end but comes back on track with an excellent climax.

26. District 9 (4.5/10)
20 years ago a space ship just hung there mid air in city of Johannesburg. Their refugee camp is called District 9. Now a corporation is trying to relocate them. Wikus is assigned this job doing which he gets infected by a chemical because of which he starts to turn into one of the aliens. Wikus goes on the run from scientists who want to harvest his evolving, new parts and aliens who see him as a threat. When he pairs up with an extraterrestrial secretly planning an escape from Earth, however, what should be a fascinating relationship story becomes a series of firefights and explosions. Interesting but not engaging enough for me.

25. Fame (3/10)
Remake of 8s film by same name that takes us through the lives of various students studying performing arts to get trained in singing, dancing, acting etc. The film fails to grab attention primarily because of really bad acting and all unfinished stories. I would stay away

24. Coraline (4/10)
Teenager Coraline moves in a new house but is bored because her parents are always very busy. Her only friends are some crazy neighbors of hers. One day she find a secret door traveling through which she discovers a whole nw another family and friends sam as her real life but with buttons instead of eyes. Her 'other' parents give her lot of love but soon she finds out a dark secret about this other family and what they are really after. Its just ok. Animations are not my thing but this one really did not have anything exciting

23. The Sea (Iceland) (1/10)
This is the worst movie I have seen. A dying father calls his children back to the countryside and thats where a lot of secrets are revealed. Every single person has a weirdness about him/her and a totally f***ed up past and present and th whole dynamics including father and the step mother. Just stay away from this film. I dont even want to think how did this film manage to get so called Icelandic Academy Awards.

22. Love Khichdi (Hindi) (3.5/10)
Interesting concept not yet fr typical Indian viewer. Randeep Hooda is womanizer who is at the same time either wooing or wooed by 6 separate girls. In all these girls, there is his closest friend and she is the only one he really likes as a friend and who actually loves him back in return which he doesn't realize. A few encounters with the girls are good and interesting but after a while it just gets boring and repetitive. Only good thing is Randeep Hooda who I thouht was pretty natural in the film. Sonali Kulkarni also did 'kaam wali bai' acting pretty good.

21. Rafoo Chakkar- Fun On The Run (Hindi) (1/10)
Terrible movie from every aspect. Acting, story, direction everything you can think of. The things that you can learn from this film is how not to act, how not to direct and how not to write a script. These are the kind of films that make a decent actress like Mita Vashishtha to look like a caricature. Please dont even bother for this one. A shame to the highly entertaining Rishi-Neetu film of 70s by same name.
