Strangers

Some of the blogs which follow may be movies I have seen in the past and have blogged or written about it earlier, and now posting those to my movie blog

I love the fact that I pick up movies without knowing anything about it… No expectations lead to an unexpected good time!

The movie I picked was ‘Strangers’… an unconventional Indian movie of two strangers who meet on a train. I am not going into the details of the story, but this film showcases how Indian cinema has matured (I thought of saying improved, but this movie is no way in the league of good movies). Filmmakers are ready to experiment with new stories and different treatment for films.

The story, supposed to be suspense, is not that much of suspense but grips until the interval. The pace of the movie could have been increased to make it a shorter and a lot more gripping. Some good performances by Kay Kay Menon, Sonali Kulkarni (in a special appearance) and Nandana Sen. Nandana Sen does not have a lot of acting talent but plays her role well. Filmmakers need to find a substitute for Jimmy Shergill, because his roles are such which can be played by anybody - be it Bas Ek Pal, Delhi Heights!

In retrospect, I was satisfied with the attempt at movie making, unlike few I saw in the past, Speed, No Smoking, Dil Dosti etc (I may blog on this one, coz it was a MOVIE GONE COMPLETELY WRONG)
