                    GUILTY  The movie comprises of series of newcomers starting from male lead Gurfateh Singh who has shown immense potential and sure to get many chances in coming days. The surprise factor is Kiara Advani where you can see her in never seen avatar and she has perfectly went into the character as disturbed, tombayish yet a real potrayal of today's youth. Akansha Ranjan Kapoor is the new kid in the block but she is the weakest among the lot. The investigation lawyer played by Taher Shabbir is equally good in terms of performance. Rest all the other cast bigger or smaller in role is perfectly cast. The movie is bit lengthy if I may say so and editing it out for 10 to 15 minutes must have made one of the best movie of the year. The environment of college is cinematic as lots of liberalities has been taken into account yet doesn't go overboard. The songs which were suppose to lift the movie actually hampers the flow of...

 KAHAANI 2 A spoiler-free assessment of Sujoy Ghosh’s  Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh  is that despite a couple of major scripting flaws, the movie is never boring, well acted and consistently stays within thriller territory. Starring Vidya Balan in dowdy deglam mode and Arjun Rampal as the police officer in the West Bengal cadre,  Kahaani 2  gave away a fair bit of its storyline away in its trailer. So it is perfectly alright to say that the 129-minute movie is about a woman accused of murdering her daughter, and contains hints of violence against children and a cat-and-mouse game between the accused and the police office Kahaani 2  shares with its predecessor half a title, the Bengal location, an enterprising and strong-willed heroine, and the belief that for all their hard work and commitment, the local police force is not very bright when it comes to solving clues and nabbing criminals who are hiding in plain sight. Balan is once again named Vidya, but thi...

Memento (2000) Image via Newmarket “Okay, so what am I doing?”  Guy Pearce  asks himself in  Memento , as he’s racing down a street in pursuit of - or possibly pursued by - a deadly assailant. It’s a question  Christopher Nolan ’s second feature asks itself many times, as the narrative works its way backward from scene to scene. Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, who suffered brain trauma during an attack on his wife and is now incapable of developing new memories. But he won’t let that stop him from pursuing his wife’s murderer.   The innovative structure of  Memento  works its way backward, so the audience shares Leonard’s ignorance of all the events that propelled him to each fascinating scene, and the cleverness doesn’t stop there.  Memento  takes what could have been a novel editing gimmick and builds an entire, gripping suspense narrative around the hero’s limited perception, and around his - and the audience’s - eagerness to trust whatever w...
