Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai Movie Review Jun 27, 2010

Show notes

A lovely take on arranged marriage though the me better, me better competition between Mumbai and Pune gets overbearing after the first few times. Yet, there is enough to take away from the film. Besides the basic one line concept, the dialogue between two complete strangers is written really well and delivered in a decent manner too. The chemistry shared between people who have just met but for some reason or the other end up spending a day together is beautifully directed and enacted.

Raavan Movie Review Jun 19, 2010

Show notes

It's so confusing when seriousness is dealt with song and dance. Wish the film was advertised as modern Ram Leela performed in a tribal theater. That expectation would have prepped me to deal with the over-dramatization a lot better. We also briefly touched upon a very well made- Jhing Chik Jhing. It defintely is a worth a watch, preferably in the theaters to support the producers who have made an honest and decent effort.
