SuperBob (2015)
It's quite unlike the Hollywood superhero flicks... charmingly British..
If you are expecting typical superhero flick laden with special effects, one in which the protagonist is cocksure of himself and knows what to do, says smart one-liners and saves the day... then this isn't the flick you would enjoy... Maybe that's why this one has got such a low score on IMDb. For me, it was a perfectly paced love story, which happens to fall in superhero genre.
It's a slower paced rom-com which might not be suitable for everyone's palate. The ending is sweet, and does not preach any message (good over evil etc etc) but is more about finding love, and working up the courage to admit it.While an extremely polite superhero who gets lorded over by everyone, even an old lady might not make you admire him, but the way his politeness earns him goodwill as a dividend in the end makes you reconsider your opinion.
All in all, a sweet short movie which deserves much better ratings than it currently holds... and maybe, a sequel.
The Lunchbox (2013)
A dish well cooked on Slow Burn...
The Lunchbox
Despite being a holiday and an evening show (and the tickets being free ..), the cinema hall was almost empty ... and I knew why ... two words..
Art Movie ..
Well in today's fast world of instant gratification, the common man's not inclined to the subtle, and slow moving fare like this flick and it showed....
Despite brilliant performance by two of the most versatile actors in film industry, Nawazuddin and Irrfan , I was slightly fidgety at some moments, just because the movie unfolds slowly.... .......you are actually living the life of the protagonist , breathing with him/her, undergoing the same transformation from a lonely,yearning, acrid soul to one who has found someone to share it all with ...
I knew that Saajan and Ira are from two different worlds, they are not meant to be together, not at all ..... yet somewhere,I wished their worlds could meet , the loneliness could end.....
What happened in the end put a spinner to all my thoughts and yearnings..... the end was so abrupt that I still can not accept it......
all in all , a dish well cooked on a slow burn, but for the end....
