Watched four movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Baadshaho
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline Mall.
- Movie is okay for a one time watch.
- This deals with a treasure which is to be transported 800 kms on a road but does not make it more than 120 kms I suppose.
- There is plenty of double crossing and triple crossing in the movie.
- Who is good guy and bad guy gets blurred.
- But in the end they have to show that four protagonists are alive because this is a commercial movie.
- Interestingly doesnt show what happens to the policemen, Army and bad guys.

Qissa
This movie got downloaded through Tata Sky on Demand service into the pen drive.
- I must say that is the reason I like Tata Sky and have great respect for them.
- You never know what surprise Tata Sky will produce to you.
- This 2013 Punjabi language Indian film is must watch.
- It deals with a person uprooted from ancestral land and makes a new home.
- He has three daughters and when the fourth one turns out to be another daughter he is not disappointed but goes on to treat her as a son.
- She grows up as a man but since she lacks the "organ" she is unable to take advantage of one situation shown in which she takes a gypsy girl on a ride to forest and then locks her up. A man would unlikely to do so.
- Next day it is found out and as per custom she now has to wed "him" else die.
- So the wedding happens but unable to satisfy her but the man the father wants a son through her. But the boy who is actually a girl shoots him.
- And then the story becomes surreal and supernatural.
- The man returns as a ghost and the story is left for interpretation.
- He goes after his daughter and then the gypsy girl asks her to escape and then the man follows her and then probably "consumes her".
- Returns to the gypsy girl who now kills herself as she does not want to bear his child.
- Now the man oscillates between the dead and undead.
- Like I said the story is left for interpretation to ones own mind.
- The movie is too good and one will find a lot of common with ones own life.
- Whenever a person returns to his past (maybe his house, or village, or situation) one may find oneself in the same situation.

Shubh Mangal Savdhan
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline Mall.
- This movie deals with Erectile Dysfunction which would be quite common than most would like to admit.
- And in the end it is shown that the problem resolves itself.
- But it does not through various chapters in the movie.
- I guess it is okay to be watched once.
- All is well that ends well I guess.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hitmans Bodyguard
This movie was watched at Inox Cinemas, JP Nagar.
- When it comes to showing the killings I feel this movie has shown quite a lot.
- And to make it legitimate they have shown the villian to be a "genocidal maniac" who likes to wipe out entire villages.
- Hence, in front of a genocidal maniac, the contract killers appear very tame and lame.
- The movie shows that blacks will only find Hispanic girls. Apparently there are no black girls.
- At a stroke the director has killed two birds with one stone.
- When the black man goes for the Hispanic girl, the black girls are removed from the picture and black man cant have white stuff. Thus the defination of interracial would mean black+Hispanic and not black+white.
- The French girl (white) is reserved for the white hero. So white will get the white. No interracial here.
- Also at Honduras bar the Hispanic girl kills Hispanic men and it is acceptable.
- That is the American view of Latin America.
- Overall I will say the movie is a non stop thrill ride and non stop edge of the seat entertainment. Very fast paced.
- This the age of video games and all and people have to be given something which will exceed their expectations. Same with the body count and killings.
- But still this movie is a must wtch.
- Because if you do not watch you will never know what the movie is all about.
- If you do not watch the movie it is like you miss the bus.
- This movie does not have kids gloves and is a tough movie.
