May starts and progresses well

9. Valentines Day (3.5/10)
A truly multi-starrer aimed at love birds, this film was a big yawn for me. I am usually ok with candy floss movies but this was so predictable. Actors could barely act. There was no single moment that did anything for me

8. The Twilight Saga : New Moon (5.5/10)
The 2nd movie in the twilight series, it was nowhere close to the first one. The love between the vampire and Bella gets more intense that they have to separate to keep away from ancient secrets. Enter Bella's friend Jacob who has his own secret of being a werewolf. The movie was still good but not as good.

7. Road, Movie (Hindi) (4/10)
I am so sad to say but this will go as the first Abhay Deol film that I didn't like. I ill applaud Dev Benegal's attempt to do something different and Abhay Deol to act in an offbeat film but then in terms of entertainment, there is absolutely nothing that this film offers. Neither masti not art. Abhay's and Tanishtha's performances are good and so is Satish Kaushik. The film is about Abhay driving a age old truck that shows movies on road and people he meets on the road in desert.

6. Tum Milo To Sahi (Hindi) (4/10)
The film involves multiple characters but central theme is around saving a coffee house that is run by Dimple Kapadia. Nana Patekar is a retired lawyer who helps with this fight. Sunil Shetty and Vidya Malvade are an estranged couple and it is Sunil Shetty's company trying to buy off the cafe. This film was good for a TV episode. Dimple and Nana were brilliant in the film. Watch it only for them. Anjana Sukhani and Rehaan Khan were intolerable.

5. The Secret In Their Eyes (Spanish) (6.5/10)
This film is part cold-case mystery, part long-lost love story, and part thriller set both in the present and in 1970s Argentina, under the tight control of its infamous military dictatorship. A policeman is investigating a case of murdered girl gets totally involved with it. Although on paper the case is closed, he is still not convinced and 20 years later is writing a book on the case. This leads to his meeting of some of the players involved. A very interesting film specially the climax.

4. Lahore (Hindi) (7.5/10)
Now this is one film that needs more viewership. Such a underrated movie, I would highly recommend it. The central theme of the film is family, emotions, companionship, sportsmanship and kick boxing. Everything about this film was good. Special mention needs to be done about the kick boxing scenes. They were so true and intriguing. Everyone suited their part very well. Must watch.

3. Teen Patti (Hindi) (6/10)
This was supposed to be copy of hollywood film 21 but its entirely not. Viewers are taken for granted when it is not completely explained how does Amitabh crack the possibility of finding out who is going to win the teen patti competition. But that apart, the film still makes an interesting viewing. Surprisingly all newcomers have acted very very well. Madhavan was the only one who I felt was totally out of place and character.

2. Brothers (4.5/10)
WIth a starcast like Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire my expectations were high but alas they were not entirely met. Tobey leaves for war and soon news comes he dies. He has been PoW and somehow gets rescued but now when he is back with his family, he is acting all weird and the family is not sure if they want him around. Meanwhile his brother who was always the bad boy takes up responsibilities while he is 'dead'. An interesting take but leaves a lot desired.

1. Broken Embraces (Spanish) (5.5/10)
This one was a typical Pedro Almodóvar movie. Penélope Cruz stars as an actress who sacrifices everything for true love. The films keeps going back in present and past told through the directors eyes who is now blind and is telling the story of how he made this film with the actress which never got finished. Of course there are hidden secrets that come out wrt to the directors agent, her son and everyone around them. I takes time to get a hang of what's going on but soon you are totally involved in the movie.
