My Name Is Khan

Directed By : Karan Johar

Cinematographer: Ravi.K.Chandran

The film has minor flows but the LASTING IMPRESSION is ,IT IS A MOVIE WORTH WATCHING. In the first half , I felt there’s a little dragging and didnt find a valid reason for Kajol to love Khan . The acting of Khan in the begining was not easily acceptable for me. BUT Later , in the second half the Script took over all the minor problems and was really ADRENALINE pumping. The African Mother & Kid in the church sequence really touched me. The film has a very contemporary theme. I strongly appreciate Karan Johar’s courage to take this theme for the story.The film is really gonna make the WORLDWIDE film lovers happy and satisfied . Congratulations for the whole crew , especially Ravi K Chandran’s cinematography that goes along with the mood of the story. The songs are pleasing too.If u have little patience , its really worth watching My Name Is Khan .

Up in the Air (2009)

Directed by : Jason Reitman
Cinematography :Eric Steelberg

The film is so Calm , Quiet & Simply Lovable.
The film is about RYAN , a man whose unique job is to fly around the country to inform people that they are fired. Ryan believed that relationships are a burden and wanted to live like a free bird. Ryan meets another woman of his ideas, Alex .Later Ryan realized that he wanted a soulmate , but was shocked to see Alex already had a family

The film simply gives us the moral that relations are not a burden.and sometimes meeting our goal will be less exciting than we have imagined ,unless we have somebody to share the happiness.(Ryan was not excited when he achieved his goal of 10 million air miles) Its a MUST WATCH for family audience. We walk out of the theatre thinking about what is really important

This film addresses the current economic crisis, the generation gap, air travel,love,technology,downsizing among many other relevant topics.

Trivia:
With the exception of the famous actors, every person we see fired in the film is not an actor but a real life recently laid off person. The filmmakers put out ads in St. Louis and Detroit posing as a documentary crew looking to document the effect of the recession. When people showed up, they were instructed to treat the camera like the person who fired them and respond as they did or use the opportunity to say what they wished they had.
