Three movies - One weekend

Bunti and Babli (Hindi)

A typical bollywood movie with lots of masala and no-sense. None of the songs were catchy, too bad i missed out on the last one. The movie had its moments, but it did not click as a whole. Somehow i found some of the movie shots to be quite similar to Mani;s way of movie making. Ash comes up for a song, thank god she comes only for that. Ending was very much "Catch me if you can". You can give a dekho once, but don;t expect too much out off this movie.

Y tu mama tambien (Spanish)

Great movie. The movie is about sex, life, friendship. Basically this movie is about two boys and a women who joins them in a trip to a beach. It does have some sexually explicit visuals. So if you are not comfortable with these kind of movie making, this one is not for you. The movie is quite frank and intelligent, and has its own hilarious moments. Great performances. Great visuals. If you are open to viewing non-masala movies, go rent the DVD/CD. If you are in Aundh, Pune, you can rent it in DVD Express.

Cinema Paradiso (Italian)

What a movie. Loved each and every moment of it. A romantic movie with a cinema theatre in the background in a small town in Sicily. The movie traverses the life of a kid who is interested in cinema/projectors, and learns the art from an old man, The old man gets injured in a fire accident and hands over the job to the young boy. The old man becomes his everything. He teaches him life, love and everything else that the boy needs to know. The rest of the movie deals with his love towards an young beautiful girl and his leaving the town to become a successful movie maker. The movie blends life and love in a very subtle and humorous manner that you will enjoy it immensely.
