Agneepath - 2012 - Blu-Ray / bollywood/ indian movie

Bloody, Brutal ... but Brilliant
A fascinating tale of moral redemption.

Images so powerful they linger in the mind hours after they've left the screen.

And the eyes, always the eyes ... the eyes of Evil, the eyes of Truth.

A young man (Hrithik Roshan) must tread the dark and difficult 'path through fire' -- lit., 'agneepath' -- of challenge and personal sacrifice to avenge his family against the crimelord (Sanjay Dutt) who brutally murdered his father, dishonoured his family, and corrupted their whole community.

If the classic 1990 "Agneepath" pioneered one of the strongest stories ever in film (and was way ahead of its time, for Hindi cinema), this 2012 "Agneepath" preserves the most effective elements of that brilliant original story and revamps what needed help. Our villain is even more evil, and the road of challenges our hero must overcome to defeat him is correspondingly an even darker, more treacherous journey.

Raw. Powerful. Primeval.

Awestruck
Disfunctionality never looked so stupendously beautiful. I loved this movie. The juxtaposition of Hritik Roshan as an actor
in JOdha Akbar and now in Agneepath is so fascinating. So glad to see him take Bollywood acting to another level. Cannot waite to see him in future projects. Congratulation to Karan Malhotra as a new director. You must possess an incredible inner life. Looking forward to more great movies from you.

Wonderful movie !!!
This movie was released in January 2012 and I am glad a I had the chance to witness another masterpiece of Indian cinematography. Hrithik Roshan proves again what a excellent actor he is! A movie worth seeing!

Desi Boyz Blu - Ray ( 2012 ) bollywood/indian movie [Blu-ray]

Desi Boyz
I thought this movie was going to be good because it has Akshay Kumar and John Abraham. No! I did not see the wow! factor in this at all. Two sexy men in a dull film. I ended up giving this movie to my mom because she is a huge Akshay and John fan. I was too until I watched this film. Hopefully when these two act together in a film in the future it won't suck like this film did. What a waste of my money and two hours of my like I will never get back.

Every bit as good as I thought
Ahhh bollywood. A very entertaining movie with some very catchy songs. Not exactly the bollywood version of Magic Mike that I was expecting, but great none-the-less. It had English subtitles as promised, which was a huge relief. The only thing is I seemed to have trouble with the audio when I tried to play it in my Blueray player, but it worked fine on my laptop. Not sure what happened there.

DESI BOYZ review 3/9/2012
I usually don't go for the show me the beef cake movies but this one not only goes for the beef cake it goes for the laughs and the heart. This movie is a lot of fun period . Similar to the HEART of, but none of the content of the Full Monty. No nudity or embarrassing practice sessions. The dance scenes are energetic, fun and tastefully done. none of that pulling off the garter crap or cheap dollar bill in the thank God non-existent gstring. None of that . This movie is done with a light touch so you don't feel embarrassed for them doing a job they wouldn't normally choose for themselves. This is very tongue in cheek style. They just come across as making sure everyone is having a good time in playfully designed sets and costume fantasy , fireman, motorcycles etc., and you're invited for the fun and the very spectacular dancing. The writer/director makes sure we as the audience are included.

The story grows forward with the characters as they aren't as desperate anymore...

Ra One Blu-Ray ( 2012 ) bollywood/indian movie

Entertaining & Game Changer for Hindi Film Industry
I watched the movie twice, once in 2D and once in 3D (imo, the 3D experience is fantastic). And I enjoyed the movie, as a whole. Some critics rip this movie apart for its poor script, but one must bear in mind the target audience is essentially kids so the plot is simple and straight-forward. Some has also criticize the use of low comedy (the groin-thingy, the airport officer ogling over G.One's piercings) but from what I noticed, the audience takes no offense and just laugh it off, even the kids (although the significance of the airport scene might not dawn on them). As for the sci-fi bit as to how the game characters can come alive, yes, it might be flawed but hey, if we can accept the fact that a bite from a radioactive spider can turn one into Spiderman, or that exposure to a gamma bomb could turn one into The Hulk, why the need to nitpick?

The thing is, the makers of Ra.One didn't set out to make this into an intelligent, gritty flick. It is meant to be an entertainer,...

Must See
If you missed this in the theater, you must see the DVD. This movie has taken "Bollywood" to an all other playing field. It is bringing them much more even with "Hollywood". In fact in my opinion HW had better watch out! I am from the USA and saw it with my daughter who has never watched a Hindi movie, she was surprised at how much she enjoyed it. My grandson's first words when it was over "Can we see it again?" Needless to say we will be buying the DVD. A wonderful family film, with fantastic special effects, and a strong message about family love.
The reviews in America, especially "Hollywood" were very good. But something is very wrong with the "Bollywood Movie System" this movie was treated very unfairly by the Indian press, I feel very sorry for the Indian public who did not see this film. Not only have they missed a wonderful film but they have missed Hindi film history in the making. The people who have written bad reviews on here never saw this film "Period" I...

Love SRK, love the FX
Although I don't normally use the extras DVDs in the 2fer sets, I ordered this one. It is hard to find original Bollywood DVDs since pirate versions are so rampant. The DVD I received appears to be a true original, thankfully. I particularly enjoyed viewing this movie with my friend who is a scholar of Hindi who gave me some additional insight into the plot that did not occur to me at first. There are some great references to Hindu legends, particularly the Ramayana. But besides the fact that I adore SRK, the special effects are very very good. We see some FX-knock-offs of Matrix and movies like Hero/Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but I think they were well done. A good action story that is generally also not too violent. Kind of a way out story, but for Bollywood fans not a problem.
