A Mighty Heart – Movie Review

Yesterday night I managed to watch this movie “A mighty Heart” of Angelina jolie on HBO. I was planning to watch this movie since a long time. Even when it was released in Hyderabad my collegue Sambit told me the movie was good enough to be given a try.

But some how things didn’t fall into place until yesterday night. No friends to disturb on a Chilly night as no one dare to come out at 9 Pm to disturb me from watching the Prime time movie.

Coming to the movie the plot is simple. The Plot revolves around a Journalist Couple namely Danny pearl and Marriane who are in Pakistan, where Danny is kidnapped by a terrorist outfit . The movie revolves around the Trauma faced by Marriane to rescue her husband from the dreadful claws of the Terrorist outfit.

Now the movie is based on a True Incident where the characters have been etched based on the real life story of Danny Pearl. The movie also shows the interviews of US Secretary Mr.Colin Powell who talks to Pakistan President Musharaf regarding the the actions to be taken against the terrorist outfit.

For the first time I saw a movie in which Angelina did a de-glamorized role. The movie is extensively shot in Pakistan and India. Versatile actor Irfan khan plays the role of a Pakistani Cop who tries to chase the Outfit. I personally liked the lady Asra she looked very cute.

The movie moves at a very rapid pace that you never feel bored.

Aavakayi Biryani….

Now that’s an interesting title to draw Biryani aficionados to a movie and in particular to hyderabadi’s. It was sufficient enough to draw regular movie buffs to theater’s and when it comes from Shekar Kammula’s Camp the excitement just gets to the next level.

Given the fact that Shekar is now well established in Tollywood, and his experience with experimenting new subjects you always expect a good movie from his camp office. Anish Kuruvulla the director of this movie, is the same guy who plays the role of friend of Anand in the movie Anand (who says…Asalu roopa Anand mundu Cheema..Anand Enugu..hahaha)

After a Hectic week I thought I need to take a break from my regular schedule and which movie else gives you the feel of watching a good movie than Amigo’s Production. So I created the similar excitement in a couple of friends and managed to bring them to the theatre for the movie with a pomis ethat after the movie we shall have biryaani JJ.

Though I already read Jeevi’s review on the movie, I wanted to give my take on the movie. When people deliver a success others start expecting little more than that and you need to fight to stand up to their expectations. I guess now that’s the thought of Jeevi

Aavakayi biryaani is all about a middle class girl who makes her living by selling home made pickle (Maa oori Aavakayi),who dreams about making big in life by opening a restaurant on the high way. She meets up with Akbar an Autodriver struggling to clear his BCOM to get a well settled job.

The movie touchs issues like hindu-muslim sentiment, education in a village, exploitation of villagers by a few influential people.

The movie brings in a fresh feel away from noisy roads of city in the backdrop of devarakonda – vikarabad stretch.

I think Anish did a wonderful job to recreate the magic of a pakka village background movie with the tenderness of Innocence. Kudos Anish!!!! I haven’t seen his debutant movie “Confessions of a film director”(iam not sure if that’s the exact name…shall give it a try).

As far as the acting is concerned…Kamal has done a neat job with very good histrionics and Bindu as a perfect Padaharanala Telugu Aadapaduchu was Dazzling in langa voni’s and Sarees.

I consider the movie is a paisa wasool and a movie to be seen whole heartedly to enjoy the fragrance of fresh feel.

Hope there every menu in Hyderabad will have a special dish called Aavakayi Biryani…..
