Parineeta

Starring: Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan
Music Director: Shantanu Moitra
Singers: Shreya Ghoshal, Sonu Nigam
Favorite Songs: Hui Main Parineeta, Kasto Mazza, Piyu Bole, Raat Hamari Toh
Story: 7/10 Music: 7/10 Picturizations: 6/10

This is a beautiful film and the plot is frequently gripping. Saif and Vidya both give gripping performances. A rich guy and the girl next door fall in love but face the machinations of the rich guy's money-obsessed businessman father. The music is high-quality too, since it was sung by my favorite singer, Shreya Ghoshal. The picturizations are toned down but still beautiful. My favorite scenes were the Hui Main Parineeta one and the one with Saif talking to his father near the end. Recommended.


















Rocky: The Rebel (2006)

Starring: Zayed Khan
Music: Himesh Reshammiya
Favorite Songs: My Love For You, Junoon Junoon
Story: 5/10 Music: 6/10 Picturizations: 4/10

This film was good fun. Some parts were extreme and nearly laughable. I really enjoyed the plot parts about Rocky going up against the mob even though the police and his father are stuck in a corrupt system. I think Zayed is cute and that's pretty much why I decided to watch this film that flopped in the box office. Reccomended only if you really wanna see Zayed or are very interested in busting corrupt systems through individual fire.
