Riding From Manali To Leh part 3
For Part 2...
Day 4: Jispa To PangLeave Jispa by 6 am . Consider today as your last hectic adventure because if you reach Pang the landscapes ahead are just like heaven.
Riding From Manali To Leh part 2
From Ambala, leave as early as possible. The roads here are the smoothest ones that you will find in your entire trip. Wide highways till Kiratpur saheb and after that a ghat of almost 20-30 kms called Swar Ghat.
Just before Bilaspur there are many small guest houses the first one we found vacant is mentioned in the schedule.

Captain America: Civil War #NoSpoilers
Political interference in the Avengers'
activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man.
Cast (The entire star cast is not included to avoid spoilers)
- Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America
- Robert Downey,
Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man
- Scarlett
Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow
- Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier
Acting
There are a lot of well-known actors in this movie. Each and every
character here had too many different layers and were performed effortlessly. However
the cinematography out does the performances of the actors here.
Direction
The direction here is excellent. Well as expected,
the IMAX version of the film is better than the regular 3D screen.
Dialogues
Most of the iconic lies of the movie are already revealed in the
trailer, however writing of this movie is pretty good and there are many “Awestrucking”
moments in the film. However the only complaint I had was, The IRON MAN is
shown way less quirky and lacks humour in this one.
Editing
This is the longest marvel movie ever made. The first half of the movie
is a bit slow and the audiences feel it to be quite stretched, Though it is not as slow as earlier part ,the winter soldier. However the viewers
will forget all the negatives as soon as the “Clash scene” between the avengers
comes up.
Story (No spoilers)
Cannot write much about the story here so that
I don’t reveal much.
Comparing the last DC movie (Batman vsSuperman: Dawn of Justice), this movie is far better in story telling.
Do not forget to wait for the numbering to end.
There is a great surprise at the end of the film for the audiences.
Overall
If you are a Marvel fan you have to watch this, but if you are a DC fan,
this might change you to a Marvel fan!
Verdict
My rating is 4/5.

Mother's Day
Plot
As Mother's Day draws close, a group of
seemingly unconnected people come to terms with the relationships they have
with their mothers.
Cast
- Jennifer Aniston as Sandy
- Julia Roberts as Miranda
- Kate Hudson as Jesse
- Jason Sudeikis as Bradley
- Timothy Olyphant as Henry
- Britt Robertson as Kristin
- Jack Whitehall as Zack
Acting
There are a lot of well-known actors in is movie. Each and every
character here had too many different layers and were performed effortlessly.
Direction
The direction here is excellent. Being a comedy
film, the simplicity in the direction of the film plays major role in the
entire movie.
Dialogues
The dialogues are well written. They strike right to the heart of the audiences.
I could see people all teared up in emotion at some particular lines as one can
relate to the characters which are very well presented here.
Editing
The movie being of two hours could have been shorter.
Story
As the title suggests the movie is all about
mothers. Wide spectrum of issues faced by parents as well as their children are
showcased here. From acceptance of ones child as a lesbian to the entrance of a
new women in her ex-husband’s life is well narrated by showcasing different
stories traversing parallel in the same time zone while having some minor
intersections in their life. The part
that touched my soul was the story of Jason Sudeikis, a widower of an
army officer who is the father of two daughters and is trying to take their mother’s
position.
Overall
The best movie you can go watch with or family on this mother’s day!
Verdict
My rating is 4/5.
Trailer
10 Cloverfield Lane
Plot
After getting in a car accident, a woman is
held in a shelter with two men, who claim the outside world is affected by a
widespread chemical attack.
Cast
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Michelle
- John Goodman as Howard Stambler
- John Gallagher, Jr. as Emmett DeWitt
Acting
The title character being very few have done an amazing job here. The
only positive note about this movie is the performances of the actors.
Direction
I must say the movie lacks in terms of professional direction here. The direction
is too mediocre to be that it is not even worth mentioning .Not so great work
here.
Dialogues
A decent job by the dialogue writers. There are no iconic lines in the
movie, however the film doesn’t need great lines too.
Editing
I didn’t find any scene in the movie that could have been edited out certainly
the editing is not the worst part here. Except the climax. The climax here is
just AWFUL.
Story
The movie opens with Michelle leaving her
boyfriend which has nothing to do with the entire plot of the movie and has
been never used in the entire movie. Moving on, she gets into an accident and
suddenly wakes up in a bunker well equipped to survive the dooms day.
Howard is a weirdo who is Michelle’s captor
and that’s your story.
The entire story of this movie is good but the
climax as I mentioned earlier makes the ship sink deep. The writer have
included an Alien attack just for a closure for the movie so as to build a sequel
(well…that’s my speculation). The dreadful climax ruins the entire experience of
the audiences.
Overall
A good movie with a disastrous ending which ruins the hard work that the
actors have done.
Verdict
My rating is 1/5.

Atul Chouthmal
Acting
The only great element about this movie is Randeep Hooda’s performance.
We have already seen him in “the desi Haryanvi” role. It is the same here, but
still he out does his last movie with ease.
Direction
I must say the movie lacks in terms of professional direction here. The direction
is too mediocre to be that it is not even worth mentioning.
Dialogues
A decent job by the dialogue writers. There are no iconic lines in the
movie, however the film doesn’t need great lines too.
Editing
I didn’t find any scene in the movie that could have been edited out certainly
the editing is not the worst part here.
Story
Speaking about the worst part, here it comes. My expectation for this
movie was bit higher than what I saw. The story is nothing but a simple criminal
vs policeman movie where the hero surrenders at the end. The portrayal of each
character wasn’t clear enough to sort out their importance. Because of the slow
pace the story fails to keep the audience inclined towards the movie till the
end.
Overall
Watch this one if you have nothing to do and have an extra Rs.150 in
your pocket or when it gets a T.V. release.
Verdict
My rating is 1.5/5.

Fan
Plot
Gaurav, a huge fan
of movie star Aryan Khanna, heads to Mumbai in order to wish his God a happy
birthday. When things don't go according to plan, Gaurav's obsession with Aryan
crosses the line.
Cast
Shah Rukh Khan as Aryan
Khanna / Gaurav Chandna
Waluscha de Sousa
Shriya Pilgaonkar
Deepika Amin as Gaurav's
mother
Yogendra Tiku as Gaurav's
father
Acting
Shah Rukh Khan as Gaurav
(The Fan) was great but however Aryan Kanna was played with least energy
possible. This might be because of lack of layers in the character or Shah Rukh
wanted it to be that way. The prosthetic team has done an excellent job which
in turn reflects n his performance.
Direction
Maneesh Sharma had
a pretty good idea about his method of executing this film.
Listing his filmography,
he has done a better job when compared to his previous movies.
Dialogues
Many of you might not
agree on this part of my post. I understand Gaurav is Aryan’s fan so he is
ought to recite his famous dialogues. But after doing the same in “Happy New
Year” and “Dilwale”, the dialogues start to irritate the audience, they should
have come up with some better idea rather than establishing a character by
making him perform the same repetitive lines.
Screenplay
Taking the risk of having
only one song in a Bollywood movie ddnt held the screenplay back. The
cinematography and the background score are awesome.
Editing
Editing could have been
better. The movie is too dragged and sould have been atleast 30 mins shorter.
Story
The fan who is obsessed
with the star, wants his name written down in history with the star and for
that he goes to utter madness.
There is no element of
surprise here. The entire plot of the movie is revealed in the trailer.
There are too many
loopholes in the movie to neglect them.
However the
climax is not upto the mark.
Overall
This movie is for a Shah
Rukh khan fan only. Haters please avoid.
Verdict
My rating is 2.5/5.

The Jungle Book
Plot
An orphan boy is raised in the jungle with the help of a pack of wolves, a bear and a black panther. The Happy go lucky life turns around when “shere khan” enters for a revenge.
Acting
Neil Sethi at an age of 12 completely leaves the audience mesmerized by his performance.
Being the only actor on the set, you cannot even notice a delay or fringe in his performance.
Direction
40% of credit for Neil’s performance goes to the director and his team here. Excellent view points and vision for lifelike Computer Graphics.
Animation and Dub
The Entire movie is remains exciting just because of its VFX and CG. The characters are close to real. Some people call it “Photreal”.The voices given to each character are awesome the dub artist being well established actors helps the movie a lot.
Story
The story is not too strong for the so called 90’s kid as the movie is all the same as that it was 20 years back.
The movie is about a boy, stranded in a jungle as an infant. He s raised p by a pack of wolves. Soon after some years pass by and the tiger AKA our villain enters to take his part of the revenge for some old grudge. The energy drops in the last hour however the climax put its right back on track.
Overall
If you like occasionally getting all “teared up” wearing a pair of 3D glasses and getting lost in the world of fantasy, do watch this movie.
Verdict
My rating is 3.5/5.
