Ray Winstone says,  “I am Beowulf” and you better believe it. Prepare for 115 minutes of medieval melodrama starring an all-star cast of Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn and Angelina Jolie.

Outside on the cold of the Denmark coast all is chilled dark and silent, this is diametrically inverse to the raucous merrymaking inside the Kings royal Dining Hall where the celebrations are commencing. Meanwhile inside a dank derelict cave a Troll named Grendel (Crispin Glover) with a tumorous ear agonizes over the noise that irritates his solace. In a rage he alights inside the Dining hall slaughtering the celebrators. The only thing that brings the carnage to a halt is the King’s (Anthony Hopkins) challenge. The previously inebriated King gallantly stairs the troll in the eye and challenges Grendel, but Grendel absconds- disappearing back into the cave from which he came. Back in the lair Grendel is reprimanded by his mother and his mother asks if he harmed Hrothgar and Grendel replies, “no”.

We alight on the snow covered shores of Denmark. The great monster slayer Beowulf (Ray Winstone) has been summoned by King Hrothgar (Anthony Hopkins) to rid his kingdom of the murdering troll Grendel (Crispin Glover). Grendel plagues the dining hall and massacres the merrymakers whenever he hears the sound of music and dancing. Upon Beowulf’s arrival a celebration is held to draw the vile creature to the hall so that Beowulf can slaughter the dreaded Grendel. Upon arriving Beowulf is inadvertently drawn to the refreshing insipid beauty of Queen Wealtheow (Robin Wright Penn) who seems to be averse to the king’s attempts to be intimate, even spitting in the drunken kings face. After the celebration is ended Beowulf awaits his pray, preferring to fight in the nude (We don’t see any nudity here that I recall) without a weapon so as to be equal to the opponent. After being defeated single handedly by the mighty Beowulf the wounded Grendel nearing death arrives back at the cave and is swooned by his mother who grieves over her dying son.

Upon the Death of Grendel Beowulf is awarded a golden cup that the king bestows upon Beowulf. Although the King is pleased the king is still restless and afraid and requests the killing of Grendel’s mother. Miffed, but ready for the fight Beowulf departs towards the lair of Grendel’s mother (Angelina Jolie).

Virulent Vixen

Beowulf is surprised by what he finds, Beowulf does not find an ugly troll propagator, but rather a beautiful women covered in dripping gold. She asks him to give her a son- being that he has killed her Grendel and that the rewards would be a life of glory and honor. As any knightly / he- man medieval character may be, Beowulf is seduced by the monster in disguise.

Back at the castle, the king is skeptical as to the death of Grendel’s mother. The king presumptuously concludes that as he had been so seduced, so has Beowulf and that Grendel’s mother is not dead. Laughing hysterically he pronounces Beowulf king and jumps from the balcony…

What follows is a feast for the eyes in this thespian/action thriller.

No other actress could perform the roll of Grendel’s mother like the arousing coy Angelina Jolie. She brings a virulent toxic aura to this movie that will make you embarrassed when you start blushing and looking around yourself to see if you are being watched.Ray Winstone brings the hero to the big screen in a fashion reminiscent of Charlton Heston, but Ray winstone sounds less like an oracle and more like a herculean character of sorts that dropped from the sky to render eye for eye justice.

Sit back and enjoy this feast for the eyes in this movie of medieval mayhem and romance that will engross your being in a world past. If you like this movie I would recommend King Arthur, another medieval flick.

“Words are flowing out like endless rains into a paper cup”, aptly describes this surreal kaleidoscope of a film. Directed by Julie Taymor, this musical film invites you to get lost and free in the 70’s as you are serenaded by songs of the biggest band in history- The Beatles. The film follows a group of people that seemingly, “Come Together” starring Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson and T.V. Carpio. Also in this film are Dana Fuchs and Martin Luther McCoy.  ”Isn’t anybody going to listen to my story, all about the girl who came to stay,” sings Jim Strugess. Jude (Jim Strugess) opens up the film on the cool brisk overcast beach of Liverpool reminiscing of the days past, and the friends of the past. Waves on the beach crash and fall tumbling within them a collage of events from the past that is in a way overlapped over the crashing sea. The film covers Jude’s initial plan to go to America to meet his dad and to see the USA. His father works at Princeton and so Jude ultimately believes that his father is a college professor. So Jude picks up his life, leaving his mother in Liverpool to meet his estranged father. On arrival he collides with a student named Max (Joe Anderson) and he asks about his father the professor. He soon learns from Max that his father works in physical plant and is no professor at all. Upon meeting his father he learns that his father has another family in America and that he had no knowledge that his son-Jude, existed. Jude becomes a close comrade of Max and the two hit it off at once, leading into the awesomely performed song, “With a Little Help From My Friends”. Latter on Max invites Jude to his house for thanksgiving and it is here that he gets to know Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood). In the interim strife is engulfing Detroit with the race riots that took place during the 70’s. We are pulled in to the scene by a young boy who seeks shelter from the raucous surrounding him as he sings, “Let it Be”. It is in all this sorrow that we are introduced to JoJo (Martin Luther McCoy) who seems to be Jimi Hendrix. He leaves all of the sorrows of Detroit behind and embarks on his own road that leads him to New York. Back in Princeton, Max has an unpleasant altercation with his father during thanksgiving that moves him to tell his father he plans on dropping out of college. He takes Jude and Lucy bowling, and spontaneously says that he and Jude should go to New York. So the two embark on their Journey to the Big Apple. Prudence (T.V Carpio) is another person that out of dissatisfaction with her life and her long to, “Hold the Hand”, of another girl leaves to see the eclectic Big Apple. Here all these people convoluted and somehow end up in the same apt. building presided upon by the landlord/singer, Sadie (Dana Fuchs). JoJo, Jude, Max and Sadie hit it off at once and all of a sudden our, “Dear Prudence,” comes, or shall we say, “Came in Through the Bathroom Window”. Back in Princeton Lucy learns that her boyfriend has been killed in the war and goes to New York for the summer to divert her mind and be with her brother Max.It’s under this roof that this thespian drama takes place, covering Max’s having to go to war and the relationship that forms between Jude and Lucy. At the same time we have another relationship being fostered between JoJo and Sadie, this is observed by Prudence who has taken a liking for Sadie. I am the Walrus, is performed with swagger that only the Irish rock star Bono can strut. We see this take place at a psychedelic party in which Sadie is invited to, by a producer that wants her to sing with his label. The thing that makes all of these performances memorable is that you can see that each performer is really making the songs there own instead of trying to be Beatles cover performances. Check out the vivacity and rawness that Max (Joe Anderson) brings to this film with songs such as “Happiness is a Warm Gun” in which we get a glimpse at the sumptuous nurse (Salma Hayek). If you’re gonna have a shot, as you’ll see, you will want her to be your nurse. “ I Want You”, is one of the songs in this movie that is given some of the most opulent sets. The production is very artistic in its interpretation of this song as meaning that Uncle Sam want’s Max to join the army. As Max enters the government building to be drafted a poster of Uncle Sam literally comes to life in a digital way as if trying to grasp Max in its Joker like face paint.  For The Benefit of Mr. Kite, is a truly bountiful ballet of visual fun. We get to see the song happen after the group of friends is dropped of in a field seemingly in the middle of no where…only to find preparation being made for a grand production, “Second to none”.  “When I get to the bottom…”"The long and winding road,” that leads us to the end of this beautiful “production second to none,” should be watched no questions asked. On this movie you will see actors that seem to embody certain stars like Jude who in my opinion looks a little and sounds a little like one of the Beatles, as well as JoJo, who really resembles the late Jimi Hendrix. But don’t look for comparisons between those figures and the actors in this movie; rather sit back and enjoy a movie that is truly a work of art.

What You’re In For: An unlikeable boss gets a taste of her own medicine when she learns that her U.S. visa is revoked and will be deported back to Canada. In order to save herself from deportation and to keep her job, she manipulates her male personal assistant to marry her by playing him into a bribe.

The Actors: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds,Betty White, Craig T.Nelson and Malin Ackerman

The Director: Anne Fletcher

On An Added Note: Look out for the cute white pooch!

From Miss Congeniality To Unlikeable Boss

We loved her in the surprise 2000 comedy hit “Miss Congeniality”. Now, it’s time to love her again in another surprise comedy hit of 2009. Sandra Bullock may play the boss from hell, the boss you love-to-loathe in this rom-com but scarcely does her portrayal seem to draw malice and pure disdain as one might remember from another such character in “The Devil Wears Prada”. Her role as Margaret Tate may come off slightly evil in the first few scenes but not to the extent where you wish you could slap her hard. Her nastiness does not even reach far as I might conclude since the only harsh thing she ever did was fire a staff on a trivial basis and perhaps, forcing her male P.A. (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her.

A Simple Storyline With Full-On Wit

The story begins when Margaret Tate finds out she would face deportation and is unable to deal with that that she swiftly and brashly makes a decision to marry her male P.A. whom like the rest of his colleagues, hates her. At first, her plan doesn’t hit off with Andrew Paxton but soon he succumbs to a bribe which she finally and reluctantly offers- Andrew would become editor and his manuscript published after their quickie marriage and quickie divorce. In order for her devious little plan to work out, she must first participate in one big obstacle course before she is able to be married to Andrew. The two must be interviewed by the officer of marriages about every aspect of the couple. Given the weekend to get to know each other, the “couple” cook up that their engagement would coincidentally be held on that weekend itself. Although it raises some suspicion, the officer relents. Hence, begins the “couple’s” big plan.

As Andrew proposes that this plan would work only to his liking, Margaret now has to buy in to his every whims and fancy including travelling all the way to his hometown in Alaska called Sittca to carry out their faux engagement. This is also partly due to the fact that Margaret does not have any family to call her own. Throughout the weekend, Andrew becomes acquainted with the very idea of verbally torturing and belittling his boss in any way possible. Margaret on the other hand does not find it amusing at all but is forced to play along.

Once they touch down in Sittca, a quaint little Alaskan town that Margaret soon discovers is filled with Andrew’s family businesses, she steps into a new life that she thought at first would be a breeze to pull off. She enters the life of a wealthy but modest family who immediately accepts Margaret with open arms. Both Andrew’s mother and grandmother are delighted that their only son is getting married but it is less than perfect news to his father who has great expectations of him as well as senses something wrong with Andrew’s sudden engagement to the boss he once hated.

In two days short, both Andrew and Margaret have to learn up everything about one another and at the same time portray the loving couple that Andrew’s family is expecting from them. And in those two short days, the expected gags, slapsticks and witty moments come on board.

There’s Everything To Love About This Movie And Then Some

With a tagline ‘Here Comes The Bribe’, the audiences can be sure that’s not where the wittiness abruptly ends. The lines in this movie hit the right spots, delivering a refreshing brew of comedy to us. Almost all the characters are able to capture the laughters nicely. From the overzealous Grandma Annie to the creepy male stripper who juggles many professions, “The Proposal” is a nice relief from the sappy romance-cum- comedy fims that we have been seeing so much as of late. Not to dearly forget, the adorable little pooch that becomes a menace to Margaret but to us is a delight and an aww-loaded few scenes.

There’s though, so much one can say about the relative comedic touch this movie is able to pull off. Even with great lines and averagely fair acting, “The Proposal” fails when it comes to chemistry between Reynolds and Bullock. Their already gimmicky faux wedding becomes even more so with their less than impressive show of chemistry between the two. A great deal of the film is focused on getting to the point but it becomes disjointed when it comes to the real deal that is suppose to exist for the two. It is also rather hard to believe that after all those name calling and constant banters would Andrew ever fall in love with his boss. Who would have known that even happened until Reynolds says so?

Watch It Or Trash It?

A light-hearted comedy that is fun for everyone. No sick, perverted jokes. Just pure clean fun (minus the striptease and the awkward nude run-in.The movie might be missing a few good parts and is considerably all too predictable but for a comedy, this is a breath of fresh air.

What Your In For: Based on a compilation of hit songs from the 70s iconic pop sensation band,ABBA from Sweden, a classic tale of summer romance and relationship bonds tells of a young girl as she attempts to find out who her real father is by inviting her mother’s three former suitors to her wedding.

The Actors: Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski and Dominic Cooper

The Director: Phyllida Llyod

On An Added Note: Just like the hit Broadway and West End musical, be prepared to get on your feet and start dancing to all the catchy numbers throughout the movie. Or the very least, sing along and aloud to them.

DVD Features: The DVD offers the usual cast interviews, a comprehensive behind-the-scenes footage, a sing-a-long version, deleted scenes,bloopers and more.

It’s OK To Know Nuts About Mamma Mia!

The last time I saw a stunningly made movie musical adapted from a Broadway show was “The Phantom of the Opera”. Comparitively, “Phantom”,a tragic love story of envy and heartbreak is the total opposite of what “Mamma Mia!” is all about. Imagine the dark settings of the “Phantom” movie replaced with the felicity of sunshine and the joyous rhythm of happy melodies made more magical by the Grecian backdrop. Now, authenticate it by making each ABBA song draw relative meaning to each scene and voila, you have Mamma Mia! Basically, this tale has so smartly incorporated songs into a story’s plot. As an ABBA fan, I already know how most of their songs breathe so much meaning and it is largely thanks to that which came round to the birth of the world’s all-time favorite sing-a-long musical. So, in this clever story which fortunately for ABBA never tires (they receive royalties each time their songs are played) follows a young bride on an impetous decision to unite her mother and her real father on her wedding day but as she does so, she does not picture a disastrous end in sight.

Meryl In Mamma Mia Not Such A Bad Idea

When it first hits you that Meryl Streep is in “Mamma Mia!”, you begin to question if this movie could really have been that good. Not to offend Meryl’s acting, you just cannot believe how someone who is so akin to acting in roles that demand seriousness (think aggresive convent nun in Doubt) or a ‘love-to-hate’ personality (think Miranda Priestly in “The Devil Wears Prada”), could possibly have been casted in such a role. Well, prepared to be wrong because Meryl Streep shelfs out a great impression of Donna Sheridan, a clueless mother who falls into and unlikely situation, unbeknownst to her that her own daughter was the mastermind behind it.

Boredom Is Never Alive In A Mamma Mia! Show

One thing that never ceases in any musical would be the actors’ sudden breaking into songs once between scenes. In the case of “Mamma Mia!”, it doesn’t really become more of an annoyance than it does in some musicals. It’s actually more relaxing and exciting because each song is deeply meaningful and debates the facts of life and love which the audience can relate to. We have a song in a scene at the beginning where the female cast march (literally) to ‘Money,Money,Money’, talking about how Donna who has to restore her little Grecian villa in time for her daughter’s wedding but is lacking of funds.  The story shifts very quickly with each song. Next, we hear a song about reminiscence in “Our Last Summer”, on a boat where Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) listens to her three possible fathers recount the old times they had with Donna. Then, a scene of sorrow as a mother remembers her daughter as a child and sings of how fast she has grown in “Slipping Through My Fingers”.

One For Family, One For Everybody

You go into this movie with nothing to lose. There is sure to be laughter and heartfelt moments. “Mamma Mia!” offers an array of advice captured in songs. It is definitely great for a family DVD weekend and it is made all the more memorable by it’s enthusiastic cast who complement each other entirely.

The Perfect Career Trajectory

Both the newcomers like Seyfriend and Cooper have played their roles out extensively, sometimes bettering the ones onstage. Seyfried who was better known in her role as a bimbotic blonde in “Mean Girls” has turned the tables now with her performance here. It isn’t surprising that her versatility as shown in this movie will get her more roles in the near future (she will soon be seen in Diablo Cody’s “Jennifer’s Body” alongside Megan Fox). This movie has definitely given good exposure to them as both have been able to work with their more established co-stars.

To Buy The DVD Or Not?

This is a question that needs no answer. Even if you have already seen it onstage and still harbor the same idea that the movie is incomparable to the Broadway or West End versions, note that a DVD means you can watch “Mamma Mia!” over and over again!

What You’re In For: A romantic comedy with a twist. A woman gets married to her best friend to find herself eventually falling in love with the florist who did her flowers at her wedding. She begins to question her sexuality and most of all, her heart when she realizes that she can only choose between the man she married or the woman she fell in love with.

The Actors: Piper Perabo, Lena Headey,Matthew Goode, Celia Imrie and Anthony Head

The Director: Ol Parker

On An Added Note: Not for anti-gays and staunch believers of the bible. If you persist to watch this movie, please do not ruin it for others who do not share the same views as you as this is a beautiful film.

Fate Is In The Air

Do you believe in Fate?

This movie’s philosophy is purely simple. It wraps around the idea of ‘love at first sight’ and spins a tale of unconventional romance, where Fate plays most of its role in the plot.

“Imagine Me and You” (IMAY) was released to a limited audience in the US and parts of the world.  It’s movie poster hinted where the movie was obviously heading. Though, with such an approach to a lesbian movie, audiences felt more satisfied going out of the theatre than when they first went in, at that time filled with doubt and premature regret.

The good thing about it is that you will definitely not rue later after the movie is very well ended as mentioned in the paragraph before.

From Lyrics To Big Screen Title

If the title sounds vaguely familiar to you, you may have gotten it right. There goes the chorus of ‘Yes,I’ve heard it from somewhere but I don’t know who sang it’. It is from The Turtles’ one hit wonder “Happy Together” which was used in the film too but I’m not going to say which part lest I give too much away.

Don’t Typecast This Film

As far as romantic comedies go, IMAY does nothing but to give you the usual cheesy laughs and squirm-in-your seat moments.  Ironically, it is also safe to say that IMAY is not pathetically lame to the extent that your boyfriend makes every desperate plea to leave the theatre (equally so since it features a girl-on-girl storyline which we know is one of the topic of particular liking for the male species).

In this lesbian love affair, where the attraction is so tempting in every scene for the two female leads, Piper Perabo plays Rachel who at the beginning feels so fervent about marrying her best friend, Heck (Matthew Goode). She cannot believe she’s finally taking that big step with someone she’s known her whole life and can’t wait to share the rest of her’s with him. She is understandably excited as she prepares for her walk down the aisle. Piper’s comedic stance is fairly commendable in most scenes as the sometimes clumsy woman that has become quite inherent in most female leads in rom-coms. As seen in one part at the start of the film, Piper decked out in her lovely white dress wears a worried look on her face whilst her father (Anthony Head) chatters on in excitement. The audience have been lead to believe she was starting to get cold feet but then the prognostic becomes false when in the next scene, we hear her asking for the car to be stopped before running into a McDonald’s to pee. Moving on, at the chapel, Heck meets with Luce (Lena Headey), the philosophical florist. She introduces herself as the person who did their flower arrangements. At the same time, Heck’s best man, the cliched single guy with a dying need to flirt with every girl he meets, tries to seize the opportunity to get acquainted with this lovely woman before him. At this point, Luce acts neutral toward his flirtations, giving not much away about her sexuality.

Come the walk down the aisle, Rachel walks with her father on her arm. Heck is looking lovingly from the front and so do the rest of the attendees. Luce, before the ceremony began sat with Rachel’s kid sister whom has become to like Luce a lot. When the wedding march starts to play, Luce suddenly feels compelled to remove herself from the place, but as she does so, she is also interested to know how the bride looks like. And with that,serves its purpose in introducing the two future lovers to each other. Both catch each others fleeting gaze, almost exuding that sudden overwhelming feeling of want. Needless to say, Rachel shrugs it off as nothing and continues to see herself being married to Heck.

Only at the after-party do Rachel and Luce meet, in a considerably tricky situation. Rachel had accidentally dropped her wedding ring into the huge jar of fruit punch. Luce steps in to save the day and a friendship is quickly formed.

Their friendship starts to escalate after an outing to a football match makes Rachel realize that she could be seriously infatuated with this woman whom she conveniently finds out from Heck is not straight. Rachel then finds herself in a precarious situation after throwing herself at Luce. She is drawn between her loyalty to Heck as a wife and her developing relationship with someone she finds herself smitte with.

Refreshingly Delightful

Deducing this film, this tale of two women enraptured in love plays with such innocence that it does not leave out the whole point of a romantic comedy. The movie is undeniably brilliant in its own way.  The certain correlation shared between these two women in love where both are in a torn position which ever way you see it shows how delicately woven this story is.

Piper Perabo’s British accent is laudable, suffice to say. She plays out the role quite comprehensibly which makes up for her lesser liked role as another lesbian in “Lost & Delirious”. Lena Headey’s portrayal in this film has earned her a lesbian icon status as well which I would not disagree with. She makes being gay look good. As for Matthew Goode, we can’t help but feel sorry for him. He plays his role as the sweet and understanding guy perfectly which makes the audience feel terrible about what it is to become of his character in the film if a happy ending exists. Anthony Head and Celia Imrie are also added bonuses in the film, so kudos to Ol Parker for casting them in.

Watch It Or Trash It?

Being able to capture a sensitive subject with such ease, the movie deserves it’s four out of five star rating. It isn’t raunchy and neither is it too dreary for a British film which makes for a good weekend watch, so go ahead and buy that DVD!

Wall-E (2008)

I have never been a die hard Pixar fan, sure their movies like Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Rattatouille have been pretty good (especially compared to the rest of the children movies out there), but they haven’t been masterpieces like some people make them out to be.  That could be one of the reasons why I came out of Wall-E completely blown away.  This film has loveable characters, a thrilling plot, beautiful animations, and one of the best love stories I have seen in a long time at its core.

We enter the film seeing an earth 700 years in the future, where sky scrapers of trash cover the surface.  Humans have left earth temporarily while millions of “Wall-Es”, which are trash compacting robots, clean up the mess.  For an unknown reason, the mission failed and all the robots got shut down after a short time, except our hero (voiced by Ben Burtt), who was been wondering around for 700 years in the loneliest conditions imaginable.  Wall-E is curious, innocent, and one of the cutest characters to date.  The sudden arrival of another, more advanced but equally loveable female robot Eve (voiced by Elissa Knight) sets the plot into motion, as Wall-E follows her (literally) across the galaxy in a heroic tale to leading ultimately to humanities salvation.

Director Andrew Stanton’s previous film, Finding Nemo, illustrated Stanton’s incredible ability to create the most loveable characters that audiences can immediately connect with, and it continues in Wall-E, but this time he does it without words.  The movie itself has fairly little dialogue, but Wall-E and Eve are very successful in grabbing the audience’s attention right off the bat.  The plot then begins to drive the movie, and we are taken on a gripping adventure through space, and that is all I can say because I don’t want to spoil the movie.  The love story between Wall-E and Eve is the main focus of the film, and it is brilliant.  It is the most genuine, touching, and surprisingly realistic (especially since it is between two robots) love story I have seen in a long time.

The lack of dialogue in this movie is not a flaw.  On the contrary, it is what sets this film apart, because Stanton is able to tell such an incredible story with so few words through brilliant visuals and a magical score.   Vibrant colors and smooth animations help bring the extraordinary futuristic scenery to life, which is expected from Pixar.  The score of the film, however, is unlike anything I have heard in a Pixar movie before.  It is amazing, and is brought to the center of the movie, instead of just being background noises.  The music is one of the best parts of the film, and is capped off by a great original song by Peter Gabriel.

The only flaws I can see in this movie is that it gets a tiny bit slow at about the 40 minute mark, but the story picks back up in no time.  Also some people might be put off by the seemingly “Green” message in the movie, but there isn’t much.  It is quite clear that Stanton’s main focus and theme for the film is the love story, and it is.

Overall Wall-E is not just the best animated movies, but it is also one of the best films I have ever seen.  I highly recommend this movie to anyone, whether you be a child or an adult, you shouldn’t miss this.

9.5/10

The Fall is undoubtedly one of the best movies ever made. There is hardly a field of film making that has been short of excellence. This master piece of fantasy encompasses the love of life in its utmost true form - “Imagination”.The Fall is a journey of an adult and a child into the world of fiction where words turn into reality. Alexandria (Catinca Untaru) meets Roy Walker( Lee Pace) in a hospital where both of them are undergoing treatment. Roy, a movie stuntman, in quest of impressing little Alexandria narrates a story to her which is part fictional and part realistic as the characters in the story take their course on whims of their masters based on events in real life. Roy who suffers from heart ache due to his recent break-up with his girfriend finds solace in interacting with Alexandria and through the bonding finds wisdom and true love. Alexandria helps him see through his human emotions and undoubtedly proves the point that “Child is father of the man”.Tansem Singh brings into action a tale of fantasy with such ease, which I felt looked like riding a bicycle hiding the beauty of effort put into the exercise. He does an excellent job in giving life to imagination with a mixture of beauty, melody, harmony, pain and most of all innocence. He has done a great job as a director and I am more than glad to mention that he has, in his unique fashion surpassed all his Indian predecessors in the art of movie making.Catinca Untaru is exceptional and she moves one’s heart with her sweet smile. The Cinematography of the movie has been exceptional and locations from India (Udaipur & Jaipur) bring such splendour to this story. If you haven’t watched it yet, you should. Especially all Indian Hollywood fans would love the work Tansem Singh has brought on screen and I firmly believe that this motion picture has set the dawn of Indian filmmakers on today’s global cinema.
