7G Rainbow Colony



It was a Malayali family who introduced me to movies from south early on in life, what hooked me to them was the maturity of scripts and stories,my transition from Malayali to tamil was spontaneous, an ardent Mani fan, I look forward to watching movies that I consider a blend of both worlds ( commercial & parallel). Selvaraghavan's 7G Rainbow colony is a raw adaptation of a real life tragic love story between a middle class cultured girl with a dropout rogue. Wonderfully directed, this movie is a beautiful watch because of the Selvaraghavan's success in coloring the screen with a pure love story fittingly acted by the lead pair. WATCH IT! Highly Recommended.

Jab We Met



Imtiaz Ali proved his earlier effort wasn't a fluke, "Jab We Met" is a fresh,original,heartwarming piece of cinema that will be remembered as one of the finest coming of age romantic comedy to hit indian screens. There is a strong "Dilwale Dulhaniya" influence in the movie which is hard to ignore but this piece of clean, almost perfect cinema was a pleasant watch. Excellent casting, nice locales, super sctipt and screenplay, foottapping music ( could have been better blended)will take this caper to the box office shelves. Kareena should take few awards for this one, Shahid's retrained performance makes him a winner too. Its a big feather in Imtiaz's cap. GREAT WATCH.
