15 films in June - mostly bad

15. Un prophète (French) (5.5/10)
19 year old French Arab guy comes in jail for 6 year jail sentence. He is hoping to serve that in peace. Due to logistics, the head of Corsican inmates, a sadistic mafioso named César Luciani, co-opts Malik as part of the Corsicans' activities, not only regarding what happens inside the prison, but also continued criminal activities outside. The film trails the guys journey from an innocent man to the leader of the whole arab gang and the hardships he has to go through and the transformation he has.

14. Kites (Hindi/English/Spanish) (2/10)
I didn't realize that this movie would be so bad and awful. The only saving grace was Hrithik Roshan. A modern day rehash of the film Koyla which itself was so bad in the first place, had absolutely no chemistry between the lead pair. Kangna Ranaut was completely wasted and the movie itself was soooo slow. A big yawn !

13. Do Dilon Ke Khel Mein (Hindi) (0.5/10)
Another pretty bad film. Kids of 2 long term friends meet and hate each other instantly. When they find that their parents are friends, they think they might force to get them married, so they start getting misunderstanding between the two. Another really bad film. What sucks is the fact that once a superstar Rajesh Khanna has to resort to such cheap misfit roles.

12. Dear John (1.5/10)
While John is on leave in his hometown, he finds Savannah, a college student visiting the town. Although love was unexpected, it doesn't mean they didn't find it. With the knowledge of John having to leave for the army, their love still lives, until his re-signs on due to the 9/11 attack. Troubles invade and their love put on hold. One cannot bear it anymore; can the other? The film just doesn't strike a chord with audience. In fact it tends to get boring after a while.

11. Trump Card (Hindi) (0/10)
A purely pathetic film. The story revolves around a huge transaction of property which leads to murders and sting operations and spying. A group of young people get involved in order to make quick money and using girls, love and friendship. Save your valuable time. Please dont watch this for your and my sake.

10. Fermat's Room (Spanish) (3.5/10)
Four mathematicians who do not know each other are invited by a mysterious host on the pretext of resolving a great enigma. The room in which they find themselves turns out to be a shrinking room that will crush them if they do not discover in time what connects them all and why someone might wish to murder them. Interesting concept on paper but the film fails to hold your interest throughout. The drama is very little and the reasoning given is also pretty lame.

9. Sadiyaan (Hindi) (2/10)
Just about nothing works for this film. Set in 70s the film trails the story of a muslim boy who has been brought up in a hindu family. Twist happens when the real parents from Pakistan come for his wedding. Rekha, Hema Malini, Rishi Kapoor; great cast but so misused. Luv Sinha is just bad. I dont think he has a future in Bollywood and same goes for the actress (whoever she was)
