WAKE UP SID : Hindi Film

Really a very nice movie . it is about the character of SID – an irresponsible teenager , who goes though many experiences and at last achieves a certain maturity .

( ok , he doesn’t become completely responsible, as opposing his initial character in the story , then it would not have been a believable story – at all ! )

both RANBIR and KONKONA have done very good work here . RANBIR is proving that he has the potential to be a great actor . ANUPAM KHER and SUPRIYA PATHAK are also really good .

the story has an aim of making the undecisive person - alert and active . it shows the changes how a person goes through in the path of self discovery .

there are many nice and sweet scenes in the film . when Ranbir goes to meet his mother , when he goes to click the photo of his neighbour and starts realizing the relationship of mother-son , when he comes to Konkona’s house after leaving his home , when Ranbir goes to meet his father at the office with his first salary cheque – all these scenes are excellent !

I also loved the title song as well as the ‘Ektaara ‘ song – both are very fresh in approach and the picturisations are also very good .

in the last 10-15 minutes I was almost lost in the story – the direction is very matured . ok , we may say that the story doesn’t have an element of surprise , i.e.- it went on in the expected line – but the scenes , dialogues, acting , and overall - direction – all are very good in this film . the concept of LOVE has been treated very sensitively in WAKE UP SID .

it is a film worth watching !

GOAL : English Movie

Recently I watched this movie and I liked it . actually I like Football , so for me this was a treat !

And being a citizen of a developing country , i could identify with the main character - Santiago Munez very easily .

The struggles which he goes through , the doubts , the lessons he learnt – all are shown in a very nice way .

The story revolves around a football player from MEXICO who has a dream to play football , make it his profession . but , as we all know , the scope for any sport is very limited in developing countries . one fine day , he finds a mentor in a retired player of England , who helps him , guides him to adjust in the new country . gradually he becomes a player of the first class team in England club football .

In fact , there is a friend of Santiago in the film , who also undergoes a change in the due course of events . that part of the story is also very interesting !

The day when Santiago played his first proper ‘first class’ match in England , I felt very happy !

His family members , coach , mentor , friends – all have been shown with great details in the film .

Overall this is a film about chasing and realizing a dream and it is successful in delivering the message .

With best wishes ,
