Wah Aamir Wah!

It seems perfection is associated with the name Aamir (okay lets forget the rash Paki opener Aamri Soheil). This movie is simply perfect. I couldnt find any flaw even after spending one night think about the movie. Its just the perfect thriller India has ever produced. Ekdum hollywood estyle picture hai baap! The story starts with a wonderfull casting song and some nicely taken shots of Mumbai. And then one great scene starts following another. Unfortunately I can not tell any more about the story, it will spoil every thing but surely some extremely splendid scenes can be discussed. 1. Small Victory Scene: This scene comes up when everything is going wrong in Aamir's life. The way he beats up those thugs is awesome and the audience also feel like kicking their asses. This scene is enhanced by the beautiful Qwalli which goes on in the background. When the scene end I felt like clapping for the person "Aamir" , he seemd so real! 2. Realization Scene: This best part of the scene is just for a second when Aamir realises what has actually happend to him. This time I felt like clapping for Rajeev Khandelwal, the actor this time. His emotions are simply outstanding. Actually there are many more such scenes like when Aamir goes to the public sandaas, the power of the scene is so much that the audience also feels like pukinh when Aamir does. As I am trying to remember such scenes, the more scenes are cropping up in my mind, but such aalsi I am, I can't describe any more scenes. The direction of the debutant RK Gupta is awesome, infact awesome is also an understatement. My vocabulary is too small to describe the art of this man. The cinematography by Alphonse Roy is out of the world stuff. The OST of the movie is brilliant and I wonder why such beautifull songs were not promoted. Seriously bad marketing of such a good product. Editing is perfect, the movie never drags and it ends exactly when it had to end. Total 1 and a half hour paisa wasool. Finally some words for the splendid actor, Mr. Khandelwal. He, along with the director, deserve standing ovation whereever they go. Rajeev could have done atleast a dozen TV soaps uptill now and could have married 19 times but he chose to be a part of this movie. I hope a certain Ms. Kapoor is watching this movie and think of funding these kind of movies, not the ones in which her brother plays a dreading don. This movie is a must watch and that too ONLY in theaters coz the only thing that I found disappointing was the 3 quarter empty cinema hall.

The truth is, I am Iron Man.

I wanted to say those lines after watching the movie Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr in the title role. I have never read any of the Iron Man comics before and neither knew that any such superhero existed. So it's a movie about the lesser known hero of Marvel. But it seems to have the potential of become a bigger franchise than Spiderman in movies. This movie is not about a hypothetical Gotham city, or a guy from another planet or someone who has powers of a spider, this movie is about a real person, living in a real world dealing with real life problems, using his extraordinary scientific brain. This movie is one superhero flick someone can actually relate to.

Tony Stark is a brilliant scientist, a playboy and CEO of Stark Industries, the biggest arms manufacturer in the world. During his visit to Afghanistan for demonstration of one of his innovation Jericho missile, Tony is kidnapped by some terrorists and is forced to make one of the Jericho missile for them. In the captivity Tony builds a escape suit and the Iron Man is born. In the captivity Tony realizes that the arms he is building for world PEACE are being used by terrorists for killing innocent people and he decides to use his newly acquired powers against terrorists. There are some interesting twists here and there just like any other super hero flick. Just like any other super hero flick there is love interest of super hero, this time she is Pepper Potts, Tony's personal secretary, played well by Gwyneth Paltrow. There are close friends, Colonel Jim Rhodes, played by Terrence Howard and enemies, Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger, played by Jeff Bridges.

The movie is brilliantly made and is contemporary. Robert Downey Jr seems to have born to play Tony Stark/Iron Man, he is absolutely brilliant and makes the character even more interesting. I think it's the brilliance of Director Jon Favreau that has made the Iron Man look so brilliant on the screen.

I have seen many super hero flicks in the past and this one is one of the best. I would rate it as 8 out of 10. Get over IPL, go for Iron Man and I assure you full entertainment.
