The year is over and its time to wrap up with lists and awards. So, here they are :)
Movies I absolutely loved...
English Vinglish - Delightfully simple and well-told story with super acting by Sridevi
OMG Oh My God! - A difficult concept portrayed in an effective way
Kahaani - Taut, well-paced, suspense thriller
Barfi! - Fun, bitter-sweet movie with great acting by all leads
Movies I enjoyed...
Agneepath - Intense masala done well with very good performances
Vicky Donor - Novel concept executed with great impact
Rowdy Rathore - Massy masala done in the most entertaining way possible
Movies that were flawed but watchable...
Talaash - A very gripping suspense till the climax, after which the movie goes downhill
Cocktail - An on-off urban tale of relationships
Agent Vinod - An overlong spy story with some great scenes and movie references
Ek Tha Tiger - Decent first half, wayward second half; overall a dull but watchable Salman movie after years
Movies I thought were overrated...
Gangs of Wasseypur I - Over-indulgent, overlong and stupefyingly boring tale with a one line story
Gangs of Wasseypur II - Takes forever to come to the point and the point is excruciatingly stupid
Ishaqzaade - Waters down a crackling start and sparkling performance by Parineeti with some overwhelmingly stupid twists and a never-ending last hour
Dabangg 2 - Laziest sequel ever; nothing even remotely interesting happens in the movie
Movies I hated...
Kya Super Kool Hain Hum - As crass as it can get
Jab Tak Hain Jaan - As dumb as a story can get
Movies I decided to miss...
Housefull 2 - Could not bear the thought of watching John and Akki in a Sajid Khan comedy
Bol Bacchan - Ajay Devgan is terrible at comedy!
Joker - The trailer made things amply clear
Son of Sardaar - Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt are both awful at comedy
Khiladi 786 - What crap!
