This in in continuation of my posts on movie reviews. Earlier I wrote a review on a Marathi film Valu and some Hollywoood movie reviews on Gung Ho and Journey to the center of Earth . Must see short Hindi movie covering a different perspective of past decade bomb blasts in India.
The movie is about an incident which happens on a Wednesday. The plot revolves around a common man who makes the entire police department run wih the help of a mobile phone.
Two powerful actors - Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah dominate the show.
The Times of India describes it as "it is an intelligent diatribe against terrorism"
I will not go into details of the movie here as that may spoil the thrill in the movie.
Movie lasts approximately 90-100 minutes with no "item numbers" or songs.
My recommendations:
Acting: A
Story: A
See in a theater: Not neccessary

Journey to the center of Earth - review
Brandon Fraser starts in this 3D sci-fi thriller, the journey for which starts on the surface of earth and then lands in an exciting new world at the crust of earth.
The unexplained disappearance of his brother lands Brandon Fraser in this journey to the center of a volcano. In there, along with his nephew and young Hannah they travel through unconquered territories and ride in roller coaster.
Effects of 3D are pretty cool at times with birds and water making their entry with a splash and a sound.
Some science effects and law of physics are applied at different stages to make it closer to a sci-fi.
Imagination its at it best to relate what goes on miles beneath our surface.
Hannah Asgeirsson is good at times but somehow the romance that blossoms miles beneath the surface of earth seemed little awkward.

Valu - the bull
The village 'Kusavde' came to light with the launch of Valu. 'Valu' is a recent Marathi movie directed by Umesh Kulkarni.
The movie is definitely a watch for Marathi movie lovers. This movie gives a glimpse of rural Maharashtra movies starting from the chief of the village to its everyday people.
Valu, also called 'Durkya' is the main hero of the movie who has been a troublemaker for Kusavde.
Atul Kulkarni stars as forest officer. His acting has been good at places but sometimes the use of too much English in his Marathi vocabularly makes one thing is he really a government 'fauuurest' officer.
Some funny scenes of the movie include dialogues by Mohan Agashe stating that even donkeys of the town had participated in the battle of Panipat.
Typical village scenes where things move slowly have also been showed.
Whenever the camera focuses on 'Valu' the music producer has introduced a new tunes which sounds catchy.

Gung Ho - Review
Within movies watched this week is the one suggested on NPR. This movie was suggested on NPR based on current weakening in the US auto industry and take over by the Japanese auto makers. What makes the Japanese autos superior to their US counterparts.
"Gung Ho" , the comedy movie takes you to a cultural clash between American automakers who have Japanese bosses.
One noticeable difference is that the Japanese have work higher up in their priority listthan family quite reverse to a typical American.
Another difference is 90% accuracy vs. a 100% accuracy.
Watch this movie to see who wins the battle of "family first or work first".
Michael Keaton plays Hunt Stevenson.
