Sad March with only 13 films

13. Up In The Air (5.5/10)
I could relate to the film in the sense of being on road for work. George Clooney is an executive who travels a lot for work and has no personal life until 2 women come in his life and he has to rechek his priorities in life and what he wants to do with his life.

12. Click (Hindi) (6/10)
Shreyas Talpade is someone you can always rely on. The story of this horror flick is thankfully refreshing and different from run of the mill hindi horror films and the ending is also very novel. The fact that everything is not right in the end makes it unique.

11. Colegas (Spanish) (3/10)
Two best friends are forced into street hustling and and ever-expanding life of crime when one impregnates the sister of the other. It shows a very realistic portrayal of some lower middle class people in SPain in 1982. A decent effort. A reality slice of life

10. Dulha Mil Gaya (Hindi) (4/10)
Gosh!! this is perfect example of overacting. I just could not understand why Sush had to so overact in the film. It is one of those cliched films which are supposed to make you feel good. SRK's cameo is total waste and someone please tell me why Fardeen Khan still gets movies. IS there any talent in him at all?

9. Ishqiya (Hindi) (7/10)
Vidya Balan is on a roll. She is so perfect in the film and so are Arshad and Naseer. Ishqiya is a story of romance between individuals caught in a web of crime, suspense, passion, and deceit. Two thieves, Khalujan and Babban, are on the run from their boss, Mushtaq. They seek refuge with an old friend, and instead meet his widow, Krishna. As they plan their escape, their time spent together draws the duo to her, Khalu with his tinted vision of old-fashioned love, and Babban with his lustful eye. The threat of imminent death forces them on a path of violence and betrayal.

8. Road To Sangam (Hindi) (7.5/10)
It is a pity how some very good hindi films are made but just because they dont have stars, people dont even watch them. This film is so beautiful, so nice with such great acting and a nice social message. A simple story of a God fearing, devout Muslim mechanic named Hasmat Ullah who has been entrusted the job of repairing an old V8 ford engine, not knowing the historic significance that it once carried the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi which were immersed in the holy river Sangam. He is caught in a complex situation after a powerful bomb explosion rocks his town leading to the arrest of innocent Muslim youths of his locality. A strike to work is called by the prominent Leaders of his community to protest against the unjust treatment meted out to those arrested youths by the police.

7. Bandit Queen (Hindi) (7/10)
I wanted to show my friend this film and show him another face of bollywood which is shocking. The direction is brilliant and definitely shows why Shekhar Kapur is one of our finest talents.

6. The Walker (4.5/10)
Set in Washington D.C., The Walker follows Carter Page, a popular socialite who serves as confidant, companion and card partner to the wives of the most powerful men in America. When Carter's dearest friend finds herself on the brink of a scandal, he covers for her. Suddenly he finds himself the chief suspect in a criminal investigation and this well-connected man-about-town becomes an outcast, hounded by the police and forced to hunt down the true culprit in order to clear his name. Just an alright film.

5. Shutter Island (3.5/10)
Man, this has to be the slowest movie ever made. The plot was very interesting and the twist towards the end catches you by surprise but still there could have been better handling of the entire screen time. What a waste of a potentially great film

4. Pink Panther 2 (3/10)
Aishwarya Rai's so called Hollywood main stream debut. But the film was so pathetically bad, its unbelievable. The first one was way way better

3. Striker (Hindi) (7.5/10)
Brilliant film. This is Chandan Arora's 3rd film and I like every single one of them. Siddhartha has acted very well. The location in Mumbai and locals has been captured really well. Each character fits very well in the plot. definitely worth a watch. It made me nostalgic of my childhood days when we spend hours playing carrom board.

2. In Invention Of Lying (2/10)
Premise is interesting but the film is actually pretty bad. The film shows a time when no one knows what lie is and they all speak truth. Somehow a man discovers he can actually lie without knowing and understanding what he has accidentally discovered. Mark can get anything he wants...but the one thing he truly wants is the love of a girl named Anna, and she's the one person he can't bring himself to lie to.

1. Fashion (Hindi) (6/10)
Revisited this film on a flight. It was definitely a well made film with brilliant acting by Priyanka and Kangana. Although I would still question if they were worthy of the national award
