Hindi Movie: D (2005)

In Movies on February 16, 2009 at 8:12 pm

Cast: Randeep Hooda, Chunkey Pandey, Isha Koppikar, Yashpal Sharma, Sushant Singh, Goga Kapoor and others

Plot: Supposedly, the portrayal of early years of Dawood Ibrahim’s criminal career…
Review: Randeep Hooda (as Deshu) has acted very well, and does full justice to  the gangster image, and has portrayed the conflicts of a common man, who enters the underworld of Mumbai, sets a precedent in Organized Crime….and the power struggle between the new comer and the established mafia….Despite all attempts at re-creating the “Satya” or “Company” effect on the viewers, RGV (as producer) failed. Just another underworld movie. Nothing more.
Rating: 3 of 5

Movie: The Invisible (2007)

In Uncategorized on February 16, 2009 at 8:05 pm

Cast: Justin Chatwin (as Nicholas Powell), Margarita Levieva (as Annie), and Marcia Gay Harden (as Diane Powell)

Plot: Brutally attacked and left for dead teenager, finds out that is hung in a limbo. He’s invisible to everyone, except for a very troubled girl, who was also his attacker.
Review: Pretty ordinary in terms of the plot. The acting by the two leading actors is good, but does no justice to their talent. Too many subplots, put together poorly. 
Recommendation: 1.5 of 5
