Ratings

The rating system is simple: thirty points for the fuzzies, and seventy given to other critical aspects of the film such as writing, directing, editing, cinematography, soundtrack, acting etc.

There will also be lengthier reviews which I'll link as they come along.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola (2013)
Personal Rating: 80
Is film bohut bohut paagal aur maza hai! It also happens to be what I think is Imran Khan's best performance to date. He plays the moody, dark hero so well, and I really loved his dynamic with both Pankaj Kapoor and Anushka Sharma. I know that the film was billed as a romantic comedy, but I am not sure if I completely agree. I think it was more a pseudo Shakespearian, social commentary with some romance thrown in, and plenty of crazy. Be that as it may, comedy it was (though at times it felt like Lagaan lite-ish...maybe). It received rather average reviews, and while the film was not without it's flaws, it was a very pleasant watch and a pretty solidly likeable film. And the South African Zulu performance group - of course it's one of my favourite things in the film. Definitely a film I would recommend watching for the avid Bollywood lover (and once you have some Bollywood films under your belt.)
