Saatai (2012)

Saatai a movie starring Samudrakani. This movie again a proof of why people should take characters and scripts that suit them is all about a Government School and happenings in and around the same. It all about a teacher who joins a government school and against all odds brings that school to compete against the top schools in the District. The movie has a lot to laugh about and a lot to think about. The way that the new teacher shows his colleagues who all together believe that the students in their school are good for nothing to worth everything they should be working for was shown very nicely. A emotional and happy journey into the lives of students from any corporation school. Great effort and a good watch though it reminds me of a Malayalam movie (Manikka Kallu).

Mannaru (2012)

I am starting to adore this guy (Appu Kutty) for his selection of movies. A lot movies stars have to look at him and learn how to choose characters and script. No wonder he won the national award. The story is a simple script where in the star cast nick named and called Mannaru by all people in the movie, helps his friend to get married against the will of the gals family. Before the three (his friend & wife and himself) could run away from town the friend couldn’t make it to the Bus and hence Mannaru ends up with this gal who he needs to take to his house for protection sake. The movie goes on to show how bringing this gal into his village brings a huge turn of events in his life. A simple but effective script that is apt for the lead. A good watch for people who want to pass time.

The Dictator (2012)

A story line similar to The Great Dictator where in a dictator of a country called Wadiya rules his world as any other dictator does (in a little comical way). The story goes on to show how he ends up in the US and how he looses his identity. What happens after he looses identity is anybody's guess. The way the story has swung was very nice, no regrets on the time I spent watching it. What I considered the key catch from this movie was the final speech that the the hero provides on democracy (until he comes to eye contact with the gal he loves). A good time pass as I considered it.

6 Bullets (2012)

You know what,  Lately I seem to be seeing a lot of movies that are of the same genre. Though I watch movies not by Genre but by how ever they show up. This movie is on kidnapping of a small gal for sex trafficking. The movie shows a couple from America along with their daughter moving into a part of Russia for a vacation and business trip. It goes on showing how the gal gets lost and how she ends up among the traffickers. Once the gal is lost look who shows up to her rescue. It's Jean Claude Van Damme. The guy who has rocked the screens once is trying to come back through the Expendables 2 and this movie. The opening scene was fitting for Van Damme complimenting his age but later on, he is not the same lethal machine anymore. The movie was a good one excepting for the fact that Van Damme factor was really not there. Again a good watch for people who like watching action movies.

Barfi! (2012)

A nice little triangular love story between three people who get intertwined by fate. The story starts at an old age home or something of that sort where they show the Hero at his ripe age trying to take a picture of himself. Then there is as usual the flash back which is done in a pretty good way. There was a lot of hype from people around me that actually made me want for a wow factor. This was missing but still I think this is a peculiar love story said in a way it would cover a lot of people. I good watch though.

The Expatriate (2012)

The movie about how an ex-CIA agent gets mixed up in a scam set by a big corporate trying to save their face from a weapons deal that they are trying to do under the table. The ex-CIA agent is used to find a way to hack into the safe that contains evidence against the corporate. He and his daughter are being tracked to be terminated which situation he tries to handle. The heat is high the hype is good but still it could have been a lot more interesting was the feeling I had. But I think for anyone who loves scam and action this is a good watch.

People Like Us (2012)

This movie is what gets me writing again. Every single time I think I am done writing on movies something or the other shows up. This movie is just a light version of a tough story line. I have started writing this just as I am watching the same. So far so good. The movie is about a guy who is the best at what he does but not too good with his family. The guy hates his father, due to which he even tries not to go to his father's funeral. Time decides and of course he had to. What happens when he goes there and finds out more about his father makes the story all the more sentimental and emotional. The beautiful way the story is handled just gets everyone want to know how this ends. I can't imagine it could end any other way than said in the story itself.
