LSD: Love, Sex aur Dhokha!

Well, I reached late for this movie and did regret it because it took me the better part of 20 mins to figure out why the movie looked like it did.

It's shocking, gruesome even at some points, daringly different, and just managed to make me squirm in my seat at points.

Technically this film is very different because it's shot completely using weird camera angles... it's made primarily on a handycam, a CCTV camera footage, sting camera videos. It's actually uncomfortable to see the movie because of these angles, jerky hand movements, and brisk cuts.

The film is basically an integration of 3 stories, one each on love, sex and betrayal (dhokha)... the characters are very real, very ordinary, daily life people whom you would meet anywhere. The dialogues are what you would actually hear people talking. The ease with which they abuse, they call names, everything is very realistic. If you're the types who leads a sheltered life in your comfort zone, this is a movie that does make you look at the other side of reality. The brutality of language, and of actions shocked me like none other and at a point in the 1st story, I was cringing and sheilding my eyes from the visuals because I just couldn't take it anymore!

The acting by the actors was quite nice, to the point that you didn't feel they were acting, it felt natural. It was crude, in your face at times, and very straightforward. Bit too blunt for my taste...

On the whole, it's a one-time watch, just for the difference that it brings. As such the story doesn't leave you with many thoughts, except that PDA in the context of today's world takes on a whole new perspective, with the thought of the security guards in a mall enjoying the small moments of intimacy in the supposed privacy and so on... it's freaky to imagine that people could actually sell such footage for money! oh well! it's a crazy world out there!

Good one! This time around, for a change even I happen to watch this movie, thanks to the rave reviews I was reading every where. Sadly in the name of 'some-thing-new' and practice of 'being different' people just expose the critically acclaimed profanity and brutality, and pass off as some thing never done before. The script was quite indulgent to me, and at parts even 'editing' fell apart. I'm not a connaisseur when it comes to movies, but this one just didn't manage to shake a nerve.

i know... i still don't understand the "ease" with which people abuse in the course of their daily language. it's very disgusting actually!

whenever i think about the movie, i have these images that flash past my eyes and i want to push them out!

it just disturbed me too much...

Well written.. And I agree with you.. The movie shook me too.. Not the swearing.. But the violence and the explicit sex scenes were too much for me to digest.. But still, I liked the movie.. Different & realistic!

So thanks to some prodding from my friend Shri, I decided to go watch this movie today. I'm not upset I did, but I'm certainly not happy. It was sort of like watching Love, Sex aur Dhokha in a way. Graphic, very close to reality, and loud. The movie begins with Anurag Kashyap saying that it's a just a movie and that he doesn't support the use of drugs, drinking and driving and that it's a fictional story which is debatable because like Dev D he used an actual incident as one of the pivotal moments in the movie, in this case the moment is when 5 kids high on coke, drinks, and generally on life, speed across town and in one of the turns end up killing two people who were on a scooter. They were driving a Hummer. Anyways, to come back to the timeline of things, the movie begins by shocking you. I know I've watched a number of movies which involve sequences of kisses in front of my parents / relatives without flinching. But I would not be able to watch this movi

Reviewing the K-Dramas I binge-watched recently: Chocolate, Doctors, Cinderella and the Four Knights and Romance is a Bonus Book (Part #2)

So like I said in my last post, here are short snippet reviews on the latest K-Dramas I've watched on Netflix: 4) Chocolate - I kept seeing promos/recommendations for this show so I just started watching it one day. The storyline is quite beautiful. It's not a romantic drama even though there's some of it. It's primarily a drama about human relationships and life in general. The two main characters are of a young boy who grows up to be a neurosurgeon (I later watched another show where also the doctors are neurosurgeons, makes me think this is a popular aspirational speciality) while being one of the heirs of a rich family who owns hospital chains, and of a young girl whose life was touched by this boy as a child who grows up to become a chef and their journey is the drama's plot line. This show also focuses a lot of episodes in the context of a hospice. It's shown in a very humane way, but those episodes touched me the most. I was practically crying each time

What a Chillar Party!

Sitting at home, watching a great fun movie on a lazy Saturday, what could be better? Perfect life. Today I saw Chillar Party. So many months after it had released and boy what a movie! Absolutely loved it. A fun, light-hearted (though the amount of tears I shed are contrary to that), kiddy movie with a sweet purpose. It was like watching Stanley Ka Dabba only it was a lot more fun. :) Bunch of kids with nicknames staying together in a colony get introduced to a new kid who's come to wash their parents' cars. Only, this kid has brought man's best friend along with him, bhidu , an amiable stray. The kids whose team is called 'chillar party' begin to view this intrusion as precisely that and proceed to being mean to him. When one of their pranks go a little too far, they feel guilty for their mistakes, and they apologize. After that, the team has a new member, Fatka. Together they play, and they win many battles. Whether the battles were to make the kids realize the
