This week was an academic week for me and i learned few things about Human settlements. I am in the last leg of Majid Hussain's Human Geography. I saw quite a few movies and ended my Saturday with a get together with the old Amigos.
Movies
1. Garam Hawa (1973)
One of the last movies of legendary Balraj Sahni. A great actor who epitomized farmers and working class and glorified Indian cinema by giving Kabuliwala and Do Bigha Jamin. This story is about a middle class Muslim family caught up on the wromg side of the history after 1947 ghastly partition. The second half is bit boring but the legend of Kaifi Azmi still rules. 8/10.
2. Sehar (2005)
A young police officer fights against the organized crime in Uttar Pradesh. He leads a team of committed police officers to seek and destroy the criminals. Rajendra Gupta acted brilliantly. 7.5/10.
3. Twelve Monkeys (1995)
A multi starrer sci-fi thriller about human civilization living inside earth when the entire human civilization above it was destroyed by a dangerous virus. Bruce Willis was sent from future to seek and destroy the virus so that earth can be saved. Brat Pitt is in surprise package and some times he is strong enough to beat Johny Depp of "Pirates ....." fame hands down. 7/10.
4. In the heat of night (1967)
A common plot exploited beautifully. An African-American investigates a murder of a millionaire in a race sensitive town. Sydney Poitier acted brilliantly. Race does not define you, its you who define race. 8/10.
Signing off till i write again.
