Amazing movies...

This weekend has been much better than expected..
Got an opportunity to watch some great films-

Madagascar
Aparichitudu
Roja
Bombay
Titanic[though not continuously]

Bombay I think is the best Indian film to be made and there is nothing that comes close to it in terms of sensitivity and the beautiful depiction of human nature, the harsh realities of communalism, politics, etc..Kudos to Mani Ratnam for bringing the movie forward despite opposition from some quarters of society[you all know who]
Kudos also to A.R.Rahman for soul touching music that never leaves you untouched.
Lots of scenes to describe the speciality of this movie. I can keep writing a big book on this movie to describe what is so special about it!!

Roja is a movie of brave women of India, and actually be compared to the story of Saavitri, who brought back her husband's life from the God of death- Yamadharmaraja.
Mani Ratnam excelled in creating the mood of terror, as also the first big break for A.R.Rahman that catapulted him to the league of top composers.

Titanic, as everyone knows is the best movie of all times. This is the first time that Hollywood has dealt with human emotions so deeply and gave it a deft touch. It still amazes me after more than 10 years, like a masterpiece on a canvas. The images linger on for a long time and maybe forever!!

Madagascar is one such movie which may not figure in most of our favourite list, but its a near perfect depiction of friendship, the circumstances that change everyone, all in a laugh riot..

Aparichitudu keeps you engrossed all the time with its strong storyline and excellent fights. A very important message to all the citizens is very well told and executed..Music not much to write about, but the movie is enjoyable nevertheless..
