Recap 2012
I am back and after a long time. Saw some movies here and there but did not get a chance to review. Most of them ordinary stuff, but a few stood out. OMG (Oh! My God), Makkhi, English Vinglish and of course Talaash (only in the first half, the second half was a complete let down). Amongst them OMG stood out. Why? Very different theme, very strong story line (had to be, inspired from the classic play-Kanji Virudh Kanji) and an inspired performance from Mithun Chakrabarty (why not Paresh Rawal? He was definitely very good, as the script was cut out for him, but hats off to Mithunda, he just rocked). English Vinglish was a fine movie, but I thought Sridevi was quite predictable and she had more scope to act, but the Director was quite limited in terms of her quiver in her armour. The Director needs to look beyond commercials (ad films) and look at cinema from a "cinema" perspective. Ok! let us get back to 2012 and the year gone by. How do we sum up? Like every year
