Few more movies added to the kitty

16. Sanam Teri Kasam (Hindi) (1.5/10)
A movie of 90s (Sambandh aka Yeh pyar hi to hai) releases in 2008 with Pooja Bhatt, Atul Agniotri and Saif who hams throughout the movie, with a new name. Pooja Bhatt so does not suit the characters of damsel in distress wearing saris and stuff. Everything is so over the top and melodramatic that film would have bombed even if it was released in 90s. And whats u with changing the title of the movie 3 times. If the film is bad, nothing really helps.

15. War of The Worlds (4/10)
Ended up watching this movie again since it was coming on TV. Not one of the better works of Steven Speilberg. And Tom Cruise at least in this movie can't act. A usual cry of war between mankind and machine, this movie has everything that is expected from such movies.

14. Morning Walk (Hindi) (4.5/10)
Interesting concept. Somehow these family value and stories I like in Bengali films but when they get translated to Hindi film, they try to commercialize it and lose the whole essence. Anupam Kher moves to Bombay to live with his son and his family. He meets Sharmila Tagore, a girl whom he used to love in his young days. He later finds out that he has a daughter with her. Without going into morals of what's right and what's wrong, the film shows how he does what he feels is right (making sure his daughter has money to go to US for studying rather than giving money to his greedy daughter-in-law for buying a house in Mumbai)

13. Siddhartha The Prisoner (Hindi) (2/10)
I like indi films but this was just a lame excuse. I wonder how come Rajat Kapoor got best actor award in some lame film festival. Siddhartha (Rajat Kapoor) is out of jail and in the process of restarting his life. He write a book but his briefcase gets exchanged with another one containing money at an internet cafe. Rest of the movie is about the gang trying to find out their lost money and Rajat finding his book. The film moves at such a slow speed that if you take a nap and watch again, you probably wont have missed anything.
