The Bucket List

Nobody wants to die alone......

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

the movie starts with a depressing note... absolutely no music in the 1st half. The movie is a bit slow in the beginning but the tenderness of feeling can be demonstrated slow only. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are 2 cancer patients...Jack Nicholson is a billionaire and Morgan Freeman is a middle class man. Doctor tell them that they have months left. Then the movie gains some pace and also some background score, they make a list of things that they wanna do before they die (go into the bucket) and that is the "bucket list". In the remaining movie they try to do stuffs written in the list and one by one they do things and strike off from the list. The acting cant be criticized as they are the big guns. The screenplay may get the points in innovative script but rest is not out of ordinary...one particular thing about the movie is that Morgan Freeman narrates the story and in the end he dies...... Cinematography is good as the shots taken are very good and from the round the globe...for instance the image of Taj Mahal in the water in the backdrop as they are walking past it. Altogether a good movie.

Toooo slow........
Acting : 4.0/4 No doubt about, it all the marks given, Not only Aamir Khan n Darsheel Safary but all other have done a great job Direction : 0.6/1 Cinematography : .9/1.0 Some scenes are very good like the one with the drawing competition where many people are sitting in the amphitheatre etc. Screenplay : .5/1.0 No, it is not good, the movie is not placed rightly thats why scenes are not merged together or knitted together, flow is altered in some manner.Screenplay is not that good as sometimes the movie goes on slow then again it turns into a senti scene, film editing also can be blamed here. Sound, Music, Sound : 2.0/2.0 I like the music, the title track, jame raho n Ma Make up: .2/1.0Makeup is not upto the mark, the scene where Ishaan fights with that boy, the wounds are looking fake.

total : 8.2/10

After writing this I can easily say watch the movie cause it has something out of the general. Also this is the first time for Aamir Khan in direction he will improve in days to come.

An ecstatic musical all the way

My categorized comment about the whole movie is like this

Acting : 3.0/4 Direction : 0.5/1 Screenplay : 0.7/1 Cinematography : 0.9/1 Sound : 0.8/1 Music, Dance n Song : 2.0/2

in all 7.9/10

All in all it is a very good musical movie, actually its songs are very good and also the choreography is exceptionally good. Salim, Sulaiman should be given the credit for the wonderful music. Also, one particular thing about the movie is its song is shown in parts that gives a kinda different touch to the movie.

At last the play portrayed at the end of the movie is wisely knitted. Must watch for a music lover, for choreography and ya for Madhuri fans.
