Movie Talk : Piku

Rasa macam takde life betul 3 post berturut turut movie review. But I have nothing to do besides watching movies actually. Lepas internship habis, I'm working at home,bagi update pasal kerja dekat boss every friday lepastu tengok movie.

Like I mentioned in previous post, besides Bombay Velvet, I also watched Piku. Melampau kan tengok 2 movie berturut turut in one day. Masuk GSC pukul 11.30,keluar pukul 4. Lepas kecewa tengok Bombay Velvet,berlari keluar dari hall,masuk hall lain tengok Piku. Dah la lambat masuk 10 minit,nasib baik boleh catch up.

I had fun watching Piku. Dah la kelakar dari mula cerita sampai ending. Satu hall gelak tak ingat dunia.

Directed by : Shoojit Sircar

Music by : Anupam Roy

Starring by : Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan Khan

Release date : 8 May 2015

Piku is a story of Piku Banerjee (Deepika Padukone), a bengali architect who lives in Delhi with her 70 years old father Bhashkor Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan). Bhashkor ada masalah sembelit dan suka menyalahkan semua benda yang terjadi dalam hidup dia tu berpunca dari sembelit. Piku loves her father,tapi kekadang annoyed dengan ayah dia sendiri sebab his behaviour. Her bestfriend Syed Afroz is also her colleague and Piku is the regular client of Rana's (Irrfan Khan) taxi business.

Satu hari Piku decide nak jual rumah lama family dia dekat Kolkata,tapi dibantah oleh ayah dia. Bhashkor bantah sebab dia sayang rumah tu,and decide nak pergi Kolkata sendiri untuk cancel the deal. Piku tahu dia tak boleh biarkan ayah dia travel sorang, so dia kena temankan jugak. Bhashkor gunakan isu sembelit dia dan buat keputusan untuk travel to Kolkata by road,kononnya kalau travel by flight or train,susah nak masuk toilet.

Disebabkan Piku sangat garang dengan taxi driver sebelum ni, bila Piku booked taxi untuk pergi Kolkata,semua lari and make Rana as the owner to take his responsibility, to volunteer himself to bring Piku and her father to Kolkata.

Delhi-Kolkata bukan dekat k,1500km and it tooks 45 hours to drive. So dalam perjalanan tu macam macam insiden kelakar yang jadi (taknak cerita uols kena tengok sendiri) sampai Rana naik angin. Finally dorang sampai Kolkata, and Piku's uncle and aunt still live in their family house. Masa dekat Kolkata, Rana and Piku pergi jenjalan and become closer.

Esoknya Rana nak beli Delhi, before that dia sempat nasihat Bhashkor regarding his constipation problem and Piku about not selling the house. Piku changed her mind,tak jadi jual rumah lama tu. Bhashkor tetiba buat perangai pelik naik basikal keliling town and beli fried snack. Piku bengang dengan tindakan ayah dia, ayah dia buat buat tak dengar and masuk toilet. Then he said masalah sembelit dia dah hilang and dia perlu naik basikal hehari.

The next day, Bhashkor mati,tapi mati dalam tenang sebab dia pernah mention dia taknak mati dengan wayar dekat tangan apa semua. Piku observes that parents, however irritating they become in their old age, should not be judged. Cerita habis dengan Piku and Rana tengah main badminton.

What I love about Piku:

1. I must say this is one of the best hindi film that I have ever seen. The way the director portray the relationship between father and daughter, is brilliant. From the beginning of the story sampai ke ending (except when Bhashkor mati),aku gelak tak habis habis sebab the script kelakar gila. Bukan lawak hambar tapi lawak genius and I thanked the scriptwriter for the amazing script.

2. The cast, i must say the perfect casts. Piku is one of Deepika's best performance  (after Chennai Express and Cocktail). No doubt she is one of the most versatile actress in Bollywood. No one can pull the Piku character like her. Plus aku bias sikit bab bab Deepika ni. I'm her biggest fan and always proud of her. And of course her chemistry with Amitabh Bachchan menjadi gila. Tak payah komen pasal Big B's acting sebab dia memang legend. Irrfan Khan as Rana, is amazing. I love Irrfan sebab semua film yang dia berlakon,selamba gila dia bawak character tu.

3. Piku takde nyanyi sambil joget merentas jalan apa semua. But I love the soundtracks, especially Journey song. Anupam Roy made a great job for the music.

What I dislike about Piku :

1. Bhashkor mati. Kalau dia hidup lagi bagus. Selain dari tu, everything is perfect about this movie.

Overall, I gave 9.8/10. Kakaka jadi 9.8 sebab aku bias hal hal deepika. Gais korang kena tengok Piku gais. Must watch! Lepas tengok movie ni confirm balik rumah nak peluk ayah masing masing.

Movie Talk : Bombay Velvet

Lepas jumpa boss dekat Zee and settlekan hal bank, I decided to watch Bombay Velvet and Piku. Piku's review bakal menyusul,nak cerita Bombay Velvet dulu, as requested by didiey,kekna and ara dekat twitter. Sebenarnya boleh je review dekat twitter tapi tak cukup words.

Directed by : Anurag Kasyap

Music by : Amit Trivedi

Starring by : Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Karan Johar, Vivaan Shah, Kay Kay Menon, Manish Choudhary

Bombay Velvet is about Johnny Balraj (Ranbir Kapoor), a street fighter who turns mobster, Rosie Noronha (Anushka Sharma), jazz singer from Goa yang lari from her sugar daddy and Kaizad Khambata (Karan Johar), media tycoon yang sibuk nak pertahankan his business empire,dengan apa cara sekalipun.

Johhny ada satu aim je dalam hidup dia,to become "a big shot" (kaya,powerful etc). He tried to rob Kaizad tapi gagal, and Kaizad offers Johnny to run his restaurant/pub Bombay Velvet and Johhny yang tamak accepts it. In return, Johnny kena buat apa yang Kaizad suruh, including bunuh orang. Rosie dihantar oleh Jimmy Mistry (Manish Choudhary), a newspaper editor to Bombay Velvet, to ruin Kaizad's business. 

Plot twist, Rosie and Johnny fall in love. Rosie decided to betray Jimmy because she loves Johnny so much. Manusia-manusia dekat Bombay semua tamak menyebabkan menteri suruh Kaizad bunuh Johnny because he's a threat. Johnny palsukan kematian Rosie sebab nak selamatkan Rosie,tapi sayang seribu kali sayang kantoi dengan polis. 

At the end,Kaizad hantar orang untuk bunuh Johnny tapi gagal, Kaizad culik Rosie, Johnny as a hero pergi selamatkan Rosie. Kaizad tembak Rosie, Johnny marah,Kaizad tembak Johnny tapi peluru habis, Johnny tikam Kaizad sampai mati. Depan Bombay Velvet, polis tahan Johnny and tembak dia, Johnny mati. Rosie hidup, moves back to Goa and still singing for Johnny.

What I like about Bombay Velvet:

1. The background music and soundtracks, kudos to Amit Trivedi. He definitely nailed the jazz songs and musics.

2. Karan Johar as Kaizad Khambata. Besides the music, Kjo's acting are the saving grace of this movie. Aku lagi excited tengok Kjo berlakon dari Ranbir. Part Kjo gelak masa Ranbir tak faham english tu sumpah lawak. 

3. Bombay Velvet's set and costumes. Anushka Sharma's costumes semua lawa lawa,especially the white gown nak satu please.

What I dislike about Bombay Velvet:

1. Where to start eh? banyak benda aku tak suka pasal movie ni. K memula the story. 2 jam setengah macam takde arah tuju,aku siap menguap lepastu menyesal sebab beli tiket.

2. Berape kali Ranbir kena bawak watak degil? After Rockstar, Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, can Ranbir actually bawak watak lain sikit. Haritu kecewa tengok dia in Roy, harini double kecewa tengok dia dalam Bombay Velvet. Ranbir seriously need to think about his career sebab there's many young actors out there who shinier than him like Sushant, Ranveer, even Ayushman!

3. Membazir buat set props memahal habis berjuta tapi tak tunjuk the whole city pun. And boleh nampak banyak scene kena buang. Padanlah Raveena Tandon bising.

4. Kalau bukak youtube ada music video Mohabbat Buri Bimari, tapi dalam movie takde sebab dah cut scene tu. Plus, in the movie bukan Anushka yang nyanyi tapi Raveena

5. Story dia simple je, pasal tamak and love. Tak paham macam mana the original duration boleh jadi 3.5 hours, dengan jalan cerita gitu, boleh habis dalam sejam setengah je

Overall, 5.5/10 for Bombay Velvet. Sebenarnya nak bagi 3/10 tapi extra 2.5 for the music and Karan Johar's act.

Kalau rasa nak pergi tengok,better don't. Tunggu download je. Serious macam nak refund balik duit tiket. I love Ranbir and Anushka, but Bombay Velvet dah bazirkan their talent, especially Ranbir's.

Movie Talk : Kahaani

I’ve been planning to review this movie since last week tapi biasalah dari dulu lagi yasmin bila bab update blog memang malas. Sebab tu blog ni terbiar sampai 2 tahun. So the first movie that I’m gonna review in this blog is mystery-thriller KAHAANI.

Directed by : Sujoy Ghosh

Music by : Vishal-Shekkar 

Starring by : Vidya Balan, Parambrata Chatterjee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Indraneil Sengupta, Saswata Chatterjee

Release date : March 9,2012

Actually movie ni dah lama dah,about 3 years ago. But i just watched Kahaani 2 weeks ago sebab curious apa yang power sangat pasal Kahaani ni sampai dapat award berjela jela,and rating tinggi dekat IMDB. Oh penting untuk bagitau siapa music director sebab kalau engko die hard fan bollywood movies, wajib tahu nama music director sebab music and hindi movie berpisah tiada.

The story is about Vidya Baghci, a pregnant software engineer that went to Kolkata 2 years after Kolkata Metro Rail's poison gas attack incident, in search of her missing husband, Arnab Baghci. A police officer, Satyoki "Rana" Sinha offered to help her to search her husband. Nama pun mystery thriller maka bukan senang nak cari and track down Arnab Baghci ni. Kemana saja Vidya dan Rana pergi untuk siasat, no one claims that they met Arnab before.

Sinopsis and plot versi panjang dan senang nak paham boleh baca dekat SINI

What I like about Kahaani :

1. The main character, Vidya Balan of course. If you're a fan of hindi cinema, you know that Vidya is sooo talented and never make the audience disappointed with her performance. And I kinda agree with the director Sujoy Ghosh, no one can pulled this character like Vidya did. Kahaani is basically belongs to Vidya. Lakonan Vidya yang buat aku stay depan laptop for 2 hours and tak bergerak langsung.

 

2. Movie ni banyak plot twist, punyalah banyak plot twist sampai aku tak sangka ending dia macam mana. Tak sangka at the end Vidya ni bukan pregnant pun, and memang husband dia dah mati 2 tahun lepas masa poison gas attack. Motif dia pergi Kolkata sebab nak balas dendam dekat the guy who responsible for her husband's death sajo. And surprisingly ketua Intelligence Bureau adalah dalang semua ni. 

3. The story. Lemme be honest aku tak suka cerita yang ada plot twist. But Sujoy Ghosh berjaya buat cerita yang banyak plot twist jadi menarik. 

What I dislike about Kahaani:

1. Walaupun banyak plot twist, cerita dia simple je,tapi duration 2 jam lebih tu macam terlampau panjang. Patut boleh pendek sikit so takdelah aku saspen memanjang


Overall, 9.5/10 for Kahaani. 

Engko kena tengok because this is not a typical hindi movie. And memang layak la Vidya Balan bolot semua best actress award sebab she's damn good!   


p/s - ni macam review acuh tak acuh je,sebab aku mana reti review. this is only my opinion after i watched this film

Guess who's back?

It's been a while since the last time i wrote something in this blog. after 2 years (kot) yasmin is back people! motif sangat kan time dah tak ramai berblog baru nak terkedek kedek active blogging balik.

There's few reasons why i wanna blog. first, my writing skill is so bad so i believe that with blogging i can sharpen my writing skills (and increase my vocabulary too).

Second, since i'm a movie freak now, i wanna review every single movie that i already watched, and i have to admit that i'm not good in reviewing the movie (but who cares btw,my blog my opinion right?)

And third, i want to share my opinion regarding certain topics. since i'm a huge bollywood fan now, i wanna talk about it in my blog.

till then, babai!
