Provoked, Namesake and Cheeni kum!

I liked the provoked very much, but one thing i found in indian movies they can't show flashback properly, it would be better if they showed us abt her life in straight than going back again & again, this way we didn't get a good picture abt her life.

Regarding Namesake i liked the movie although my hubby found it little slow. i already gave my opinion abt it here-

Didn't see the Chinni Kum & eagerly looking forward to it after hearing frm u all.

 

Hi gals!

Nice chat going here.

Sudha, I saw Namesake and Cheeni Kam.

I feel Namesake will be enjoyed by all those who read the book. As a matter of fact, the film is even better than the book which is normally not the case. I think I have already written about it elsewhere here.

Cheeni Kam was an absolutely new take on this old and young love story. Age difference is definitely a huge obstacle for the outsiders, not for those who are in love, seems like it This movie works only because of the large dose of humor in it. I could totally empathize with the Paresh Rawal character) Most of the movie was good, dragged a bit towards the end. I thought the little girl was too precocious, sick or not?

I don't think Provoked has been released in the US as yet. I am waiting to see it.

The music did sound pleasant to the ears and I did not realize the m director was Ilayaraja, silly me. Kept thinking that the songs sounded familiar and S Indianish...no wonder. Yes, I recognise the Tamil songs. Have not heard the new Kannada songs, so had no idea.

Sunkan, your link looks interesting, will read it soon.

Great discussions regarding all three movies. I am glad producers and directors are making many more art films. It's nice to see something different. What really excites me about these films is just how quick indian cinema has gone global.

Have you noticed all three movies have been directed by Indians, living abroad. It's just a matter of time before we get to see a global awards nite where indian movies from all over are rated and recognized. Now would'nt that be awesome.

 

Hi friends,

I watched Cheeni Kum and was pretty impressed by the movie. It has an off-beat story line, a very surprising one at that. Songs by Illayaraja are good.......we have heard them before in his Tamil movies.

Rgrds,

hi sudha,
I am kalyani.....I hv watched movie sivaji. U can not expect sankar mark movie, But rajini mark movie. There is nothing to do with the story.........I felt sivaji is a mix of a bit of gentleman taking away black money, amd a bit of mudalvan (okeokadu in telugu) regarding bribes................ viviek comedy is good. Rajani looks10 yr younger......... Real rajani is like father of reel rajani. sreya is too cute . sets for songs are ultimate. sets for sahara.... song can't be describes. u can enjoy that only in theatre . u can't see the song we will be watching sets simply superb.
