Super Movies Weekend !!!

This weekend I watched two good movies. Let me share my experiences of both movies with you.

First on Saturday I watched Guru, a film based on the life of the great entrepreneur Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani. Whatever the makers may say that it is not based on the Dhirubhai, after watching this movie your opinion will be as that of mine. The movie is a great combination of Maniratnam, Abhishek, A.R. Rehman and Aishwarya Rai. Not to forget great supporting cast like apna Mithunda, Maddy and charming Vidya balan. The first half is fast and gripping. AB Jr. has shades of his father in his acting especially the dialogue delivery. Second half drags a bit but the overall experience is great. Music holds the whole movie together. There will be people saying that the main protagonist in his path to reach the top uses wrong methods like corruption, tax evasion to move ahead. But we have to understand that the movie is based in the seventies and eighties where entrepreneurship was not encouraged and the market was not open for all and these means had to be used. That doesn’t justify the wrong practice but that’s the way Dhirubhai flourished in his days. What we can learn from the movie is to never give up on your dreams attitude. There are quite a few emotional moments in the film which touched my heart. The film made me feel good ,happy, sad, angry, etc. That’s why we watch movies right.

On Sunday I watched the movie Blood Diamond. It’s based on diamonds trafficking from war stricken African countries and sold in the first world countries. The money is used to fuel the revolution in these African countries. Hence the name blood diamonds. The movie is about the hardship the African people face and how children are converted into hardcore killing machines. I will not tell you the story but surely recommend you to watch it. Please note there are few gruesome scenes which are not for the weak hearted. It’s not a mushy mushy love story but a hard hitting action film with great performances from every actor especially Leonardo and Djimon . So whenever you buy a diamond for your loved one from any store make sure of its source and that you are not buying a Blood Diamond.

Both movies are worth a watch and your money’s worth. Surely it was my money’s worth.
