shubhamgupta-48092 I always love Bengali literature and movies because of their intense portrayal of emotions. Raincoat has affirmed my belief yet again. With 80% of the movie shot in a single room, it's a perfect example of a classic low budget movie. Both Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya Rai have played their characters flawlessly. Annu Kapoor simply gains your appreciation with his short cameo. The cherry on the cake is the music which along with the act leaves no stone unturned in giving you the feel of situation. Overall it's a must watch for real cinema lovers. Looking forward to watch other movies of Rituparno Ghosh.

Sherazade Somebody is lying to keep up appearances, and the director has left it up to you to try and figure who it is. This is the sort of film that you sit down and cut, paste and analyze for hours. Aishwarya Rai showcases some real grit here that is rarely seen in most of her films, as many directors just prefer for her to show up and look pretty. She is pretty here too, but the scenario is dark, she plays this character dark and seductive, and heartless as she she does it innocent. She is deceptive as she is truthful, it's up to you to decide what she is really and Rai gives you a run for your money trying to figure her out. Ajay Devgan brings it as well, as a man who hasn't gotten over his love for this woman, even after her marriage to another man. One rainy afternoon, he tracks her down for a visit and the game of who is who begins. This is not you typical Bollywood flick. This one actually requires you to scratch you head and think. A++++++++++++ all the way! Aishwarya Rai is especially awe-inspiring!

imran-khawaja Before I start I would like to state that I loathe conventional Bollywood cinema. I hate the fact that any tension or drama that has(in some very exceptional circumstances) been built up over the course of a scene, can be destroyed by wholly unnecessary dance number. I hate the fact that Indian cinema uses the same formula for all its films and plagiarizes western cinema when it wants to try something new, because its writers are so inherently lacking any form of creativity or originality.My wife begged me to take her to this movie, and I have to say that it's the best Indian film that I have ever had to watch. I liked the colour (subtle green hues), I liked the background music (classical understated), I liked the mood (subdued),I liked the dialogue (believable) and I loved the ending. Its good that a film can just end and leave you to reflect about what you have seen and draw you own conclusions, rather than spoon feed you at the end.So I say, watch this film if you want to see something a little more involving than the usual mix of singing, dancing, violence and overacting.

AmidalaSkywalker This movie seemed promising: Ajay Devgan, Aishwarya Ray, unhappy Lovestory....but this movie is plain boring. The camera is stable, the settings are...well, they fit the story, which is not a compliment... there are no songs, not even music most of the time. The actors only talk and nothing really happens. The plot is not to bad, since its inspired by a famous story by O'Henry. And since I wanted to know, how it ends, I even stayed on all through these really, really long 2 hrs. It was so depressing! The only good thing is, that it is so short. If you think now, that I don't know what a good movie is made off, there are movies like this, which i really liked, "Telephone" with Whoopi Goldberg is definitely one of them. But this movie is only watchable for fans of Art-house and maybe fans of French Cinema, because it is a lot like that. So if you are neither, stay away!
