Best Movies of 2019!

Hey Readers,
Happy New Year! Thank you for your support and the love as in a few days time the Blog turns 3 years old! And before we reach there, I would like to conclude with this decade's best list!
                                        Image result for best
Before we rank these movies, here are some honourable mentions:

Hum  Chaar: This bitter-sweet tale about friendships and infatuation was adorable, to say the least! All this in a Rajshri style!

De De Pyaar De: This one was a fun watch with a message at the end! Not to forget the beautiful Tabu!

Laal Kaptaan: This was a slow burner which was coupled with some brilliant acting and beautiful cinematography!

Batla House: This JA starrer was inspired from real events had actually dealt with subtlety on the encounter by the same name!

Sonchiriya: This Abhishek Chaubey directed was original, astounding and raw dacoit drama set in the Emergency period.

The TOP 10:


10. 
Good Newzz: Good Newzz makes it to this list mainly because it serves the primary purpose for which movies are made- Entertainment. And music is a plus point!

9. Section 375: Akshaye- Richa starrer is probably the biggest underdog in the list and one of the most relevant movies to be released.

8. Uri: Vicky Kaushal's Uri was a fine watch which prevented Jingoism and worked well thanks to a competent lead and the direction.

7. Bala: Ayushmann's Bala was entertaining, fun and was all about self-love sold to us from the topic of premature baldness.

6. Chhichhore: Nitish Tiwari's take on college life and friends is one of the best I have ever seen and the movie rightfully deserves the love it gets!

5. Article 15: The movie had its share of moments, on the whole, it failed to have a much-intended impact. It was slow and nothing but Sayani Gupta's justice-seeking eyes were my take-away only.

4. Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota: Perhaps, the most controversial name on the list, it felt like a personal love letter to Bollywood where the actor, writer and director was me.

3. Judgemental Hai Kya: Kangana and RR literally rocked the movie with a unique storyline and the concept of modern Ramayan just blew me off!

1. TIE:
Gully Boy: Inspired everyone to believe in 'Apna Time Aaega'. GB inspired a generation!

The Sky is Pink: Has a movie ever prepared you for the death of your loved one? TSIP does that and director Shonali Bose makes it an even better ride with laughs and terrific performances!

TSIP Review: Sky is the limit!

To begin with, I really had a tough time to gather myself and write a review for this Farhan-Priyanka starrer. Director Shonali Bose presents this real-life story of Aisha Chaudhary with her personal touch ( she has gone through a similar thing with her son) making this movie so balanced, positive, beautiful and deals with the subject that 'death is the ultimate truth' so well that it is hard to encapsulate it in words!

What's Good: Performances: PC, Zaira, Rohit perform so exponentially well but it is Farhan who makes the maximum impact. The vulnerability, the emotions, the longing couldn't be played any better. The movie is pitch-perfect here. Music: Pritam's music is just like the cherry on the cake. Message: What it takes about is something very relevant about life. Direction, Writing, Dialogues, Editing: The excellent voice-overs by Aisha (played by Zaira), bose's sensitive handling of the subject, Juhi's writing is top-notch. Theme: Something apart from talking about life, TSIP addresses the issue from the parent's side as well (just as they say what to do with Aisha's clothes, books etc and break down in tears) is something new and refreshing to see.

                                          Image result for The sky is pink    
What's Bad: Duration: In its 135 minutes of runtime, the movie keeps one invested but patience varies from person to person. Messy Timelines: The movie jumps back and forth a lot in the 30 years which might be hard to follow!

                                          Image result for the sky is pink real family        
                                        The real-life inspiration for TSIP: The Chaudharys

Final Word: The Sky is Pink is an unforgettable saga of the celebration of life until death attempted in a never before style. The movie does not want you to Cry but will surely end up making u teary-eyed or even weep. It's a highly polarizing movie like October from the previous year so either you will absolutely hate it or you will love it and since I belong to the latter, I am going with a solid 4 stars! Though, viewers discretion is highly advised!

P.S. Instead of spending money on War, watch this!
