As a fun summer project, I decided to watch all my childhood (Ages 4-9) favourite movies. After each movie I see, I'm going to come here and update this post with a rating (out of 5 stars), comments, summary, and picture of the movie. I'm hoping I can watch around 5-7 movies during the summer, and finish the rest before winter break.
Movie #1- Kal Ho Naa Ho
Date Watched- June 23, 2012
Rating- 5/5
Comments- This has been my favorite movie since I was 4. But I never understood that there isn't too much of a story in it. It's a lot of fun, lots of songs, fun costumes, and laughs. But it also has a lot of tears. Half the movie I was sitting and crying. It's really a movie that could never happen, which is what makes it so much fun. I would definetly recommend it to anyone who likes a tear-jerker.
Summary- Naina Kapur is juggling a busy life in New York City. She's taking MBA classes with her best friend Rohit, and still tries to help out at home whenever she can. When Aman, a carefree guy comes to her neighborhood and falls in love with her, everything in Naina's life gets turned upside down. He is the solution to most of the problems in the Kapur house, leading Naina to fall in love with him. But he has a secret, that leads him to not be able to marry Naina, even though he loves her back. So he tries and sets her up with Rohit, who loves Naina as well. A whole story of ups and downs leads to many tears, but not without changing Naina Kapur's life forever.
Movie #2- Veer-Zaara
Date Watched- June 30, 2012
Rating- 5/5
Comments- This movie was a lot of fun. It was a flashback movie. There was some great music, and a nice happy ending. No tears, but a very cute love story. I would recommend this movie for anyone who likes a love story with a cute ending.
Summary- Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh has a job as a rescue pilot for the Indian air force. On one of his missions, he rescues a Pakistani girl, Zaara Hayaat Khan. He helps her to her destination to bury her Bebe's ashes in Kiratpur, India. When they both reach, he invites her to come to his house for a day, to celebrate the Lohri festival and meet his parents. He soon realises that he has fallen in love with him, but when he is about to tell her, Raza, Zaara's fiance shows up to take her back to Pakistan. He confesses his love for her, but never finds out about what she feels. Narrated by Prisoner 786 (Veer) in a prison in Lahore, to Saamiya Siddiqui, they both attempt to get Veer released from prison, reunited with Zaara (who thinks he was in a bus crash 22 years ago, while really Raza got him arrested), and back to India.
Movie #3- Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
Date Watched: July 9, 2012
Rating: 5/5
Comments- This was definitely not a typical Bollywood film. It had an ending, but it wasn't happy, nor sad. It had some fun numbers and a lot of wise quotes, but it was completely different from any other Bollywood film.
Summary- Dev, a football player is married to Rhea, a fashion magazine editor. Maya, a kindergarten teacher, is married to Rishi, a childhood friend of hers. After meeting Maya at her wedding, Dev gives her advice about love, relationships, and marriage.
