Who will win the race of 2005?
The 5 Best Hindi Films of 2005:
1> Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi:
Set in the era of Emergency,Naxalites and unrest, HKA's three protagonists play their part almost to perfection. Kaykay Menon as the rebel with a cause, Shiny Ahuja as a complex character with somewhat negative shades and Chitragada Singh as the love interest of both shine throughout the film. The film, portrays their story right through college life to the real bad world. Their life evolves and transforms as the story progresses.
The surprise package of the film is Chitragada Singh - a natural and passionate actor. The story sinks in as it unfolds, captivating the viewers. And the music of the film is undoubtedly amazing.
My rating 4.5/5
2> No Entry:
It wins hand-down as the best comic film of 2005. Bipasha Basu- the 'No Entry' girl, Salman Khan - the flirt, Anil Kapoor - the patni-vrata, Esha Deol - the pati-vrata, Lara Dutta - the suspicious wife, Fardeen Khan - the reporter in Anil's newspaper and Celina Jaitley - Fardeen's love interest all play their parts well. An extremely complex plot, which if not handled well would have caused the film to fall flat, is handled commendably. The film has rarely - if at all any - uninteresting parts. Good editing, good music and lovely comic timing are some contributor's to the film's status as the biggest hit of 2005
My Rating 4/5
3> Black:
The film, I believe, easily qualifies as one of the landmarks of Indian Film History. It pleasantly deviates from the routine to pure art. Unbelievable performances by Ayesha Kapoor (young Michelle), Amitabh and Rani in that order are truly out-of-this world. The relation between Michelle and her teacher are portrayed to utmost perfection. Superb editing and an applause to Bhansali and his entire team for their superlative work. Irrespective of whether the story is original or not - I sincerely believe that the film was tailor-made to get an Oscar and would have easily got it.Alas! politics is dirty and it spares none.
My gut feeling is that in fair award functions, it will win awards in every category for which it is nominated.
My rating 5/5
4> Page 3:
A serious and brave attempt by Madhur Bhandarkar to depict the empty and sick world of societies' celebrities. Infidelity, paedophile, homo-sexuality, wife-swapping, drugs, this film touches every issue. Konkona Sen Sharma as the 'journalist', who finds it difficult to handle the celeb culture, as always appears at ease playing her strong role. Good actors, a powerful script, able performances, nice music all help in make the genuine attempt to expose the gruesome realities of the glam world.
My rating 4.5/5
5> Iqbal:
Unfotunately, I haven't managed to see it completely yet! However, from whatever part I saw (and the word-of-mouth too), the film is brilliant to say the least.
And I can't rate it :(
Updated according to Anirudh's views abt Iqbal
"Iqbal would definitely be a 4.75/5...an excellent script..and awesome performances by shreyas talpade, nasir and shweta prasad....especially nasir who is simply amazing in his drunken coach role. Iqbal for me is the film after Black as far as ratings go!"
Lets' see who wins!!
