THE MONUMENTS MEN - Film Review

Rating: ****

Starring: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Bob Balaban, Kate Blanchett 

An action thriller about the greatest treasure hunt in history, based on the true story of World War II.

The Allied forces have over powered the Nazis and are making good progress driving back the Axis powers in Italy.

The Monuments Men is an action-thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners.

Frank Stokes (George Clooney) is directed to assemble an Army unit nicknamed the “Monuments Men” comprising museum directors, curators and art historians. Victory will have little meaning if the art treasures of Western civilization are lost in the fighting, either as collateral damage in combat or looted.

Babloo Happy Hai - Film Rating: ***

‘Babloo Happy Hai’ takes you on a journey through the breathtaking mountains, and through the lives of a set of memorable characters who will make you think again about love, and fall in love with love itself.

Amidst the common notions of irreverence and rebellion, the youth of today is troubled by many questions, puzzled by many choices, battling with a lot of pressures; wandering perhaps, but not entirely lost. The most basic of these conflicts, however, remains the question of love.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Film Review

Rating: ***

Ben Stiller directs and stars in James Thurber's classic story of a day-dreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. 

The movie also stars Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott, Shirley MacLaine, Patton Oswalt, and Kathryn Hahn.

Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller) lives his life at a safe and reasonable distance. A man, ruled by routine. He's the guy you like but don't know. Smile at but never stop to talk to. Walter is alone in a room full of people.

Walter will travel to distant lands and take giant leaps that he never before thought possible.

To see the world. To find each other and to feel. As Walter Mitty will now discover, that is the purpose of life.

Shuddh Desi Romance - Bollywood film review ***

A romantic comedy which tells it like it is; and like it isn’t.

Does what starts physical always turn into love? And what reaches love, always turn into commitment? How do you figure out?

Shuddh Desi Romance is a fresh and real love story about the hair-raising minefield between love, attraction and commitment. Supposedly a romantic comedy that tells it like it is, but it isn’t.

Having a talented cast in this candid look at the affairs of the heart in today’s desi heartland like the endearing Rishi Kapoor, handsome Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra yet it is the debutant Vaani Kapoor who impressed the most.

This rom-com, directed by Maneesh Sharma, written by Jaideep Sahni, and produced by Aditya Chopra is a journey of three restless young people who junk the society’s syllabus for finding love and decide to follow their heart.
