Piku

I was intrigued by this movie's trailer. Irrfan and Deepika are a different pair and yet I could sense the chemistry between them. Who knew? 

After reading Raja Sen's review on rediff.com giving it 5 stars, the tickets were booked. We reached the movie 10 mins late even by PVR's late standard because my trainer wouldn't let me leave the TRX class 5-10 mins earlier (and I wasn't too keen on missing biceps curls anyway) and there was traffic at every road in Gurgaon. 

Shamitabh

*Spoilers ahead*

The movie starts with Dhanush as a superstar getting interviewed by the media and he is speaking in Amitabh's voice.

Bhoothnath Returns

I was watching this movie in Goa before leaving for the airport. We had an hour to kill and somehow we switched to this movie. I liked what I saw and promptly downloaded it on reaching home.

Bhoothnath Returns is a sequel to Bhoothnath. I have seen the latter only in bits and parts so don't know the whole story.
Basically, Bhoothnath (Amitabh Bachan) is a friendly ghost and makes friends with the kid who can see him in part 1. In BR, the bhooths in bhooth world mock him because he could not even scare children. He wants to be born again as a human for which there is a very long wait and the bhooths challenge him to go back to earth and scare kids. When he reaches the earth he meets Akhrot (Parth Bhalerao) who helps him scare kids. In return, BN helps him earn lots of money by making ghosts living in under construction buildings leave. Basically, he solves the problems of the ghosts and then they leave earth.

The Great Gatsby

I just watched this mind numbingly boring movie... fell asleep towards the end.... woke up after an hour and finished it. Such a waste of time.

The movie is based on a famous novel 'The Great Gatsby' written in 1925 by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I haven't read the book and after watching the movie I am not inclined to.
The movie/book is supposed explore the themes of excess, decadence, idealism, social upheaval etc. I didn't really find any of those themes in the movie.

Satyagraha

The only reason we watched this movie was because we bought tickets in buy 1 get 1 free offer on bookmyshow.com. We paid 260 bucks for 2 tickets.
I am not keen on Prakash Jha movies. He messed up Chakravyuh big time though I did like Rajneeti a lot. He also tends to repeat his actors which is not so bad because Arjun Rampal gives the best performance in his movies.

This flick is about corruption and the battle against it.
