we get to watch many movies these days action/ comedy/ drama/ suspense, etc and with so many movies releasing almost every weekend its so much variety to choose from... i personally feel movies are the best entertainment , specially if u just wanna sit at home and relax or crash at the nearest movie theater on a weekend or a holiday.
Today is one of such days for me .. its 27th March, Holi is being celebrated all over the place. (for those of u who are not aware.. holi is a festival of colors - which some people take very seriously and are only satisfied after they have mercilessly colored their friends and relatives with lot of chemicals and paints that take ages to come off)
So as usual I decided to stay at home and watch movies my friend gave me on her pendrive.
I watched 2 movies since morning (its 1 pm now) - jolly llb and balak palak (Marathi one) and i must say the after watching balak palak .. all i wanted to do is publish this post.
The movies is very well made and there is a lot to learn from it for parents and youngsters. having said this iIl embed the same . hope ul like the movie. (for those who cant understand the language .. find another link that has subtitles) ..
yes movies can be used to educate and spread awareness too ..
Ok now i know all I am posting lately is only movie reviews ... so I thought this time .. I shall narrate the story of this one .. or atleast the summary for all my readers .
hmmm so Pat Solitano Jr. (Bradley
Cooper), who hasbipolar
disorder (in very few scenes), is released from a mental health
facility into the care of his parents (who appear more scary than him) after
eight months of treatment. Pat soon learns that his wife, Nikki is basically a
horny bitch and, has moved away (with no matter who) and his father, Pat Sr. (Robert De
Niro), is out of work and resorting tobookmakingto earn money to start a restaurant. Yeah
beat that! Misery from all ends
But its not only he, who is in a mess!! Tiffany Maxwell (Jennifer
Lawrence), a recent widow, who also just lost her job and has a slutty past, meets Pat at a friend’s
place … and Pat (determined to get his life back on track and reconcile with
Nikki, who obtained a restraining order against him after a violent episode) can’t
help but check out Tiffany’s boobs … to which Tiffany offers Pat to be her dancing partner, in an
upcoming dance competition and also promises to deliver his letter to Nikki.
The rest of the movie
shows how Pat’s Father (who ironically considers Pat to be his good luck charm )
makes aparlaywith his gambling friend about the
dance competition and an Eagles game -
and how Pat with tiffany’s help manages
to save his pops ass !! and How Tiffany manages to get Pat !
Anupam Kher
plays Pats therapist Dr. Patel and gets beaten up by a few racist thugs during
some game.. lol - he does not get much screen time or
importance … I personally feel a quality actor like him shouldn’t have taken up
such a role just for another Hollywood tag.
Anyways I liked the movie, It was fun .. Had a Pleasant Sunday afternoon ... and then they say its not a bad movie as I've described it!
