~~Chamku~~Music Review~~



Guys, hope you all remember “Jab Se Tere Naina”. Oops I am not talking about Sonam or Ranbeer but talking about the guy who gave the music “Monty Sharma” . Saawariya was considered as one of the worst movies of the year 2007 but the music was much eulogized and this tubby musician won copious awards and rave reviews for his work. Monty is nephew of music maestro Pyarelal (of Laxmikant - Pyarelal duo) and besides he has given background scores of movies like Black, Devdaas, Apne and U Me aur hum. The soft utterly quixotic feel of Sawariya and the brilliant background scores of Black and Devdaas brought Monty to a pergola where he can show that he has pristine ability as a connoisseur keyboard player, unswerving and stanch music arranger, a successful background music scorer and finally as a promising music director.

Monty is now back with “Chamku”,his second offering, which is said to be a pragmatic and realistic action packed thriller about Naxalites and outlaws, with an innate sense of cultural music. With a very peculiar title “Chamku” and low profile music release, the album promises some quality music due to Monty’s earlier work. Let’s check this out that can Chamku be second Saawariya for Monty Sharma or would he be considered as one film wonder?


1. Aaja Milke- First track starts with a western alap (aur kya likhun samajh me nahin aa raha hai) by Shreya and with this shows her ability and idyllic dominion over delivering a variety of emotions, a lot of shades and the doldrums in one song using her stupendously mellow and spry steered vivacious vocals and later Sahil also joins her later and affably delivered a superb performance making this a 'Feel-good-to-Hear' song. This song is about togetherness and Sameer’s apt lyrics suitably gel with the serene feel of love.

“Na Koi Khusboo Thi Na Koi Mausam Tha,
Har Lamha Zindagi Veeran Thi..
Charo Taraf Sirf Ghum Ka Andhera Tha,
Tanha Tha Har Khushi Anjaan Thi..
Tujhko Pa Ke Khone Lagi
Ab Door Tak Phaili Huyi Veeraniya.
Saj Rahi Hai Ab Aankhon..
Mein Pyar Ke Khwabon Ki Parchaaiyan.”


This is a typical Monty Sharma type song with a perfect arrangement of Indian instruments, delivering an ethnical "hilly" feel in its serene sounds with use of Dhol and Dafli but in a low pitch. A decent track, it deserves repeated hearings.


2. Kithe Jawan-When I heard this song for first time, I thought it to be a rephrased version of Lambi Judai, as song has same touch like that legend. This song with some Punjabi flavor is about the twinge of severance between two lovers is crooned by Richa Sharma (Our specialist of Virah Songs). Richa with her rustic voice catch hold of the listener’s breath-flow. Sameer’s extra-ordinary poetry with the creatively and very apt lined gives song an edge. Song starts as “sarangi” solo and has inclined towards classical ragas or can say with a touch of Thumari. The song is a fusion based folk song which is not heavy in beats with western instrument along with traditional instrumental gelled together to deliver an upbeat background score appeal in this song. Hear it time and again to feel Monty’s strong inputs in fusion based music and Richa’s impressive melancholic voice.


3.Gola gola- Keeping up the bucolic theme of the movie comes the song Gola Gola which is a typical Holi song with emphasis on “Bhang ka gola, paan, Thandhai, Rang, Choli, Lehnga” etc etc chirped by Abhijeet (in a quite different voice) and Vaishali Samant as lead singer along with some others. But I think the touch of Devdaas is still on Monty because feel of Dola-re-Dola can be felt. This festive song has some ingenious lyrics, radiant interpretation and melodious use of local dhol, dholak and sarangi; this will run well with the viewers if video is good otherwise it would be a listen and forget type of song.


4. Trance- After 3 folkish songs, this very different track comes in with its western feel. This is Monty’s first chic entry in giving us “Groovy Party Number” styled song with use of fast electronic synths, Arabic music and strident ecstatic discotheque beat fillers but too with folksy cadence. Multilingual lyrics affix the real zest to the song’s contentment and the music is quite giddy and scatty, invigorating and of a new type. Saleem Shahzada, Soumya Roah and Anaida crooned this track admirably. But people will take it, chances are low.



5. Bin Daseyaa- Another Birah song or better to say the remix version of “Kithe Jawan” comes as the next track. This song is again crooned by Richa who gave expressive shades to this melancholic track. But the use of extensive western instruments gives it a lounge mix feel but yet it didn’t kill the soul of the song.


6. Dukh ke badri- Well the last track of the album is again a melancholically communicative number which is regarding looking positively towards the life and saying that problems will end soon and finally love and harmony will arrive. This song is crooned by Kalpana, Parthiv Gohil and Shail and their voice gels mutually in a milieu of meticulous drumming arrangements. This number has a rustic feel to it and you can easily feel the touch of north india typically of Bihar and Eastern UP in it. This amazing sounding situational song shows affable merger of soulful chores and their alap, impressive music arrangements and pleasant sounding vocals.
"Dukh Ke Badri Ab Chhat Jaayi Ho...
Sukh Ke Kheti Lehraayi Ho..
Dukh Ke Badri Ab Chhat Jaayi Ho..
Bag Bageecha Taal Talayya.. Bag Bageecha Taal Talayya
Hariyali Ke Sang Muskaaye Ho
Dukh Ke Badri Ab Chhat Jaayi Ho..
Ghar Ghar Goonji Prem Bhansi
Roop Badal Ke Krishna Aaaye Ho…
Dukh Ke Badri Ab Chhat Jaayi Ho..
Sukh Ke Kheti Lehraayi Ho..
Dukh Ke Badri Ab Chhat Jaayi Ho.."


My Take- This movie is by Vijayta Films and has an enticing star cast (Bobby Deol, Priyanka, Ritish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Arya Babbar and Irrfan Khan) but I don’t know why there have not been many promotions in the media about the movie and truly speaking this can affect the album also. After Sawaariya, expectations were high from Monty and a lot was expected from him. This album touches the alcove of soft poignant music albums with a fusion based arrangements. But what I see is that in the time of Groovy Bachna Ae Hasseno, mushy Jane Tu ya Jane Na and a hip hop Singh is Kinng, this album is hard to survive as it has nothing to offer on those fronts. But yes, Monty Sharma has delivered a decent album with a perfect rustic theme which surely will suit the background of the movie and he really deserves applaud for this adroitness and nimbleness, which he has used this soundtrack. I would easily give 4 star due to its originality and perfect fusion, but people may not like this album because of the nature of songs.

Songs I liked
1. Aaja Milke
2. Kithe Jawan
3. Dukh ke badri

~*~A pErFeCt DrAmAdY~*~



After been recomended by a few friends, I looked for this DVD and what held my eyes was the tagline “Shoot first. Sightsee later.” What I thought from the tagline and from the cover, that movie would be an action movie and I very fervently started watching it and as the movie progressed I got deeply involved in the movie. The movie made me laugh from the opening note: Colin Farrell's voice over during the opening credits saying "After I killed him, I dropped the gun in the Thames, washed the residue off me hands in the bathroom of a Burger King, and walked home to await instructions. Shortly thereafter the instructions came through - "Get the F**k out of London, you dumb fucks. Get to Bruges." I didn't even know where Bruges fucking was. Where the f**k is Bruges?" and only then I knew that I gonna love this one.

This movie is a hitman dark comedy or better to call a dramedy. As a comedy the film is impudent impertinent and drolly fun and as a drama, the film is murky and unpredictably piteously dramatic and at last I was confused what to feel. It tell us that life is offensive, witty, assorted, existential, and just plain pissed off when you're a hit-man and that too hold up in medieval city of Bruges. This movie In Bruges stands out boldly (and blessedly) from the rubbish and wan comedy genre movies as “Meet the Spartans”.

Plot:
Two Irish hit men Older and wiser Ken and Rookie Ray hold up in the medieval city of Bruges waiting for instructions from their Boss Harry who send them their to cool off after a failed mission. Ken likes the quietude and serenity of city with its churches, canals and fine old buildings where as rookie Ray a soft-centred, dim young man sees it as a sh!thole. Ray's mind is nonetheless preyed upon by his truly horrible, although inadvertent bloodshed in London while committing his first assignment and his answer to everything is violence. But the longer they stay waiting for Harry's call, the more bizarre their experience becomes and they came in touch with tourists, a Dutch prostitute, a dwarf American actor working in a British art movie and a potential romance for Ray in form of Chloe a drug dealer for a living. In this way both men find some happiness in the city while being stuck there. And when the call from Harry does finally come, and when he does all hell really breaks loose and finally the movie ends up with a code of conduct play into the resolution.

Acting:
Colin Farrell as half wise-ass womanizer and half half-suicidal Ray with his eyebrows forever arching and his expression often set to confused, the one who is uncouth, conceited, unacquainted, and gets a kick out of hitting, killing, and insulting people but he is also a thoughtful man distraught about what happened in London. His one liner is amazing and is in abundance and you will be laughing continuously.
Ray nag and go on about about how he just hates Bruges and “Rubbish" is the best word with which he come up with to describe Bruges. “If I'd grown up on a farm and was retarded, Bruges might impress me. But I didn't, so it doesn't.”

His dialogues are loaded with sacrilege and few might deem it bigot, racist and mean. As“I do know a Belgium joke. What's Belgium famous for? Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids.”
“Even midgets have to take drugs to stick it”

But still, he was haunted by his past and having seen the error of his ways, he feels the need to make right, even if he hides it with a lot of complaining and arguments “I'd go to that house, apologize to the mother there, and accept whatever punishment she chose for me. Prison...death...didn't matter. Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn't be in f**king Bruges.”

An idyllic coalesces of comic timing, serrated allure and vulnerability - it's a knockout performance. He defies all the odds and manages to be as sympathetic in the dramatic parts as he is enchantingly acerbic in the comic parts.


Brendan Gleeson as Ken, a fantastically artistic performance as Farrell's mentor and friend. He is a tough guy, proficient of murdering anyone, but on the other hand he's very soft, lovable and pleasant, kind and a joy to be around. Ken has a certain level of contentment and self-knowledge. He’s a hitman and he has some moral issues with that but he’s learned to live with those issues. He is like a fatherly figure for Ray and helps him through the emotional fight he is going through.

Ralph Fiennes (Harry potter, Schlinder’s list and The Constant Gardener) as Harry, a mean-spirited bloke is duo’s boss and who arrives in Bruges to take care of some nasty business and to act out his sociopathic "principles". He is a family man with a ferocious principled susceptibility but he also displays a short temper and a penchant for obscenity. And at last he finds himself the victim of his own moral code in the end. Impeccably executed.

Clemence Poesy (as Chloe an attractive drug dealer selling drugs to a racist dwarf) Jordan Prentice (A racist dwarf American actor working in a British art movie) and all others have done excellent job in giving a proper kick to the movie.

Direction: Martin McDonagh (who won Oscar for his short film Six Shooter in 2006 and a famous play writer) is back with his first feature film, a black comedy about hitmen taking care of their life while awaiting their next assignment. He has eerie fashion of narration and it can be seen clearly where he mixes comedy and racism slurs with a superb elaborateness. This movie proffers magnificent vista commendable of the preeminent travelogue and emotional emblematic journey of the characters. The intricacies of screen play are diverse, sundry, assorted, rising and defining character through dialogue as well as throughaction. The first hour of the movie is a slapstick comedy and when you start thinking it to be a normal comedy, he throws in the ace and for next 45 min it is a brutal and full of emotionality.

My Take: When I started this movie, I don’t have many expectations from it but truly speaking this kept me bound. This movie not only exemplifies the daring deeds of the chase and kills but also consents the audience to feel the human side of those whose job it is to kill others. The humor is extremely effective, mostly coming from Ray in form of one liner. His irresponsible negligent trickery in the world of bereavement and brutality are more poignant than witty. Another plus is the film is remarkably well shot and the brilliant background music. In Bruges is a treacherously bravura confederacy of plot, meaning, acting, story, cinematography and direction. Truly speaking the movie is droll and unpredictable, a deadly combo. I will easily give 4 stars out of 5.

(P.S. Movie is Rated R for strong bloody violence, pervasive language and some drug use) And guys please be ready for “beep” in this movie (In movie F**k was used for approx 100 times, C**t for more than10 and Sh!t - at least 25 times) Remember it’s a dramedy… Besides a hefty sum of milder profanities and obscenities as well throughout.)

~Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam~Par Ye nahin Maanenge~~


On Friday, when I reached home I found a parcel packet lying out of my flat. That was from World Space Radio for winning a contest. Well, very happily I opened the cover and was very glad to see the audio CD of “Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam” inside that. This movie is directed by Writer/lyricist Sanjay Chel and starring Mallika, Rahul Bose, Paresh Rawal and Kay Kay Menon. (This is an out-an-out comedy story of a drama troupe - Kalakar Natak Company who stages socially relevant, thought-provoking plays, which no one understands and hardly anyone sees. The theatre group gets involved with an undercover agent who is working on saving the country from a bomb blast ).
But for movie we have to wait for a few days to see that wether Rahul Bose and Mallika can repeat the charm of “Pyaar ke side effects” or not. Coming to the album now, the music of this album is given by Anu Malik and lyrics are by Sanjay Chel himself.
Here is my take of the album-
1. Pyaar kiya to darna kya: When I saw the name of first song, I thought that it might be a spoof of the old memorable song “Pyaar kiya to darna kya” (as I hadn’t seen the video at that time). The songs starts with
“Maine Kali Ka Dil Nahin Thoda
Maine Kali Se Mooh Nahin Moda
Love Ke Liye Apna Sab Kuch Choda …..
Main Toh Kali Ka Main Toh Kali Ka
Deewana Mere Yaar
Main Toh Kali Pe Main Toh Kali Pe
Apna Dil Gaya HaarMain Toh Kali Se Main Toh Kali Se
Karna Chaahu Ikraar
Chaahe Chunvaa Do Chaahe Chunvaa Do Lambi Lambi Deewar”
And that was sufficient to tell me that this is not a remix of the original from Mughal-E-Azam but it is a completely different rephrased song with some new lyrics and singing style. The song has been crooned by Shaan, Anushka Manchanda, Ishq Bector and Mahalaxmi Iyer. The lyrics aren’t that impressive but have some nice DJ beats and might sound better on a good speaker system.


But to be true I liked the way when they crooned “Jab…So What…Jab…Who cares…Jab…Aa Haan” in between the stanza, but still the song lacks the originality and the momentum, you may like the song in starting but later you are going to loose the rhythm. But if we think about the film’s nautanki background the song may look ok ok types in movie. Didn’t liked it much but this will work in Discs.
2. Marmari Baahen: Truly speaking, this track is the best of the album. This quixotic and opulently superb track was crooned by Kunal Ganjawala and Mahalaxmi Iyer (here she was astoundingly different from the first song). The lyrics of the song are quite good

“Marmari Baahein, Sandhali Saansein, Teri Aor Le Chali
Ras Bhari Baatein, Madhbari Raatein, Teri Aor Le Chali
Gore Kandhe Pe Kaala Til, Kya Kahoon Kaisa Hai Kaatil
Sare Jahaan Mein Uske Siva Mujhe, Kuch Bhi Nahin Haasil
Dekh Dekh Jaise Mera Jiya Sharmaaya Hai..
Kya Karoon Re Besharam Voh Toh Mera Saaya Hai”

The music of this song is ordinary but fabulous performance by Kunal and Mahalaxmi will force you to hear again and again. The music is of typical Anu malik style with a lot of dholak, Synth and piano and is gonna remind you of “Tere Bin” from Bhagambhag. Liked this one.
Remixed version: This song is remixed by BlueZone and they have done a good job but again the one who destroys the Charm is Anu Malik who alone sings the song. The soft rap attached with the song is quite good. Liked this one minus Anu Malik’s voice.
3. Ek to sharab Kum: When I heard the starting lines in voice of Pankaj Udhas
“Kuch Bhi Nahin Tha Lekin Tera Sahaara Tha
Jo Kuch Bhi Tha Voh Sab Kuch,
Voh Sab Kuch Luta Hua Hai,
Luta Hua Hai”
I thought it to be a decent ghazal but then starts the harmonium and dholak and finally the sound of breaking glass……alasssssssss the ghazal was converted in a Quwalli type of ghazal. Pankaj has returned to Bollywood after a long time with this Ghazal but literally speaking I didn’t expected this from him. The music is of typical Ghazal types but with added bass beats which gives a feel of Quwalli. May be hardcore ghazal lovers like it ( I am a hardcore ghazal lover but pssssssssttttttt I didn’t liked it) but not the general music lover. And same was true for the Part 2 of the song. Didn’t liked the track but liked a few lines as

“Dil Utth Gaya Ab Toh Teri Mohabbat Se
Phir Bhi Teri Dua Mein Yeh Haat,
Yeh Haat, Uttah Hua Hai, Uttah Hua Hai”
4. Ishqaiyaan: This album will give you a bit of everything, a rephrased old hit, a ghazal remixed in Quwalli and finally after the ghazal, here comes the modern Mujra song “Ishqaiyaan”. The song starts in the exotic voice of Sunidhi with typical lines
“Haraf Haraf Heera Hai,
Labz Labz Moti Hai
Hum Haseenao Ke Baatein Toh Niraali Hoti Hai
Agar Magar Ki Dagar Dagar Pe Sabar Karoge Kaise;
Asar Asar Sanam Hai Aisa K Sabar Karoge Kaise”

And then the rapper pitches in and converts it to a modern day mujra. This song has typical harmonium, dholak percussion, piano and a bit of various other traditional instrumental including Shehnai. In progression this converts in a typical stage show type of song and then Sonu Nigam joins Sunidhi (I don’t know what he is doing here). This song is full of oomph as “Oui..Maa” and “Oo Aaa Oo Aa”. Didn’t liked it.
Remixed version: The remix of this song is done again by BlueZone (sorry I don’t know who they are) and really speaking they have done a good job again but since the parent song was not good hence the output was the same
My verdict: I would like to quote one statement from Sanjay Chel himself "There is a feel of remix in the music. Anu Malik has used Rag Darbari and we have kept a ghazal so we haven’t ruined the original song and have come with a new song of ours.” Anu Malik tried to deliver a Khichdi, a rearticulated old hit, a ghazal and even a mujra but sorry Mr. Malik this album lacks quality and is a failure. I don’t know what happened to Anu Malik firstly the dead music of LS2050, Ugly and Pagli and now this one.But still I will wait for the movie keeping my fingers crossed and hope that the magic of Rahul and Mallika will work. I would easily give one out of five stars.

~~The Dark Knight~~A Dark Reeling Masterpiece~~

I was waiting for this movie since the day I saw its posters and finally it was released here. Initially I was unable to get the tickets of the movie as server at my place is down and to my dismay all the seats are full in an hour of opening of advance booking but thanks a lot to my friend who arranged tickets of “The Dark Knight” (TDK), I dunno how but yes finally I got the opportunity to watch this movie.

When I came back from watching TDK, my hands were a little sweaty cos of thrill and awe. I felt that it is quite unfair to write about a such a briliant movie after just one watch, what is needed is to watch it for a few times to capture each and every detail, to have a serene vision of the different levels of the plot and the actual symbolism behind each and every scene and frame. But still i am writing it.


Plot Synopsis: Inspite of detailing the plot I will tell the basic story. Batman, Gordon, and Harvey Dent are on a mission to get rid of organized crime and go to great, even illegal lengths to accomplish their goal. With the pressure really on, the mob turns to the Joker to kill Batman so they can be free to run their criminal enterprises. This sets up the confrontation between Batman and the Joker that eventually leads to Dent’s downfall and his transformation into Two-Face. This is all set against the background of Gotham which is being terrorized by various attacks by the Joker in an attempt to bring chaos. There is not a weak point in this film from start to finish. But be aware that this is not a light-hearted movie but is brutal, horrific, tragic and has the ending that needs to happen.
Acting:
Heath Ledger: This movie totally belongs to JOKER. Heath's Joker has cracking white paint on his face, a swollen red smile, and hair tinged with green. He wears a suit and gloves, and moves his tongue out of his mouth when he speaks. He threatens others with a knife in their mouths and a different story every time about how he got his scars on his face.

He is wild, anarchist, who enjoyes watching Gotham tear itself to pieces- for example in the scene where he forces boats (ones full of citizens, ones full of prisoners) to choose what boat they'd like to blow up so that the two boats will in turn blow each other up and. People can say what they want about Heath getting too much praise just because he is no longer with us because it just isn't true. Alive or gone, this was the performance of a lifetime. The make-up, the laugh, the mannerisms, every little thing he did was perfect.



[The Joker holds Rachel Dawes out of a window]
Batman: Let her go.
The Joker: Hmm. Poor choice of words.
[The Joker lets her drop as he laughs maniacally]

When he explains that why he use knife instead of pistols he says “I use a knife because guns are too quick. Otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. You know who people are in their last moments.”

He is frightening and the definition of villain- playing the role more psychotic and more evil than Jack Nicholson's Joker because of true unpredictability.


The Joker refuses to let decency win out. He stands as an agent of absolute chaos and he wants to show the world that deep down, when you strip away all hope for justice, everyone is capable of destruction. He never wished to kill Batman, but just want to humilate him.. "I don’t want to kill you. What would I do without you? You complete me"
The Joker constantly throws pain and aggression into the faces of this city and forces everyone to show that they are capable of unimaginable cruelty, just like he is.
"Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... if I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!"



Christian Bale has done a tremendous job as our beloved super hero Batman, who hangs helplessly in between righteous and crazyness. His view of justice causes an emotional and personal shift and thats the reason he have to fight hard with his emotions. If there was an excellent Batman, this is the real deal. Besides Bale has a particular slurring lips that suits him quite well as charming millionaire Bruce Wayne and a dangerous Batman (giving him his particular killing smile).

Aaron Eckhart (as D. A. HarveyDent) is as selfless, noble and a symbol of faith and hope and change. And he does his Harvey Dent/Two-Face character justice, with a strong sense of righteousness/betrayal /twistedness up his sleeve, as well as Bruce Wayne's rival in love. His acting is strong here. His acting is superb specially after he was converted in TWO-FACE (when he use our Sholay wala coin). He follows the line of a movie
"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

Maggie Gyllenhaal is a great replacement for Katie Holmes as Wayne's love interest Rachel Dawes, as she shows more sensitive and caring side towards Bruce, other than Holmes' nearly flat performance.

Michael Caine as Bruce Wayne's loyal butler Alfred delivers, as well as Morgan Freeman as the CEO of Wayne Enterprises done great jobs in giving the pace to the movie.

Michael Caine as Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred and Morgan Freeman as Lucious Fox, the CEO of Wayne Enterprises has done great jobs in giving the pace to the movie.

Music: The poignant and evocative music is composed by Oscar winner and multiple Oscar nominee Hans Zimmer ("The Lion King," "Gladiator") and seven-time Oscar nominee James Newton Howard ("Michael Clayton," "The Fugitive"), and suits completely to the theme of movie.

Cinematography: Wally Pfister’s cinematography is simply stunning. Gotham has never looked so good, so big and deep. Technically speaking, six sequences of "The Dark Knight" were filmed with IMAX cameras, including the opening six minutes, which represent bravura filmmaking. His wide shots purvey a dirty aura and contribute to the feel of the film. Without it, it may not have been the same.

Direction: Direction by Christopher Nolan is par excellence,exalted aloft, the pace of the movie is properly managed to keep the audience enthralled and glued to their seats for almost 2 and half hour movie. There were several shots in the film where i was forced to say "how, the hell did he do that!!!” to my friend (specially when Joker switched Rachel and Dent’s place of captivity, which finally leads to the generation of Two face).
If you ask me, i will say that the creation of Two-Face is one of the smartest moves of the movie, which has not been just thrown at us as a villain and expect us to be afraid or to sympathize with him but shows how circumstances changes a good man to a bad one.

My Take: It is the best of times; it is the worst of times to write a review. The Dark Knight is probably one of the few examples where I am unsure how to rate it. It has awesome action sequences, rather deep plot, a charismatic villain and the charismatic hero. The Dark Knight is a poem of nobility and justice; a story about the futility and illusions of control. This This is a story of the struggle between two sides of the same coin, the good and the bad.
The world that this film lays out is intricate and layered and everyone crosses paths in some way or another that completes the tragedy of their own individual tales. Gotham feels alive, real and visceral. This could easily be any real city in the US. The chaos and murder that envelopes here, feels sincere with it's choices and consequences that are, surprisingly, even beyond Batman's grasp. That's where fantasy hits the wall and reminds you reality is steering the ship.


In the concluding part Batman says, "Sometimes, truth isn’t good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded." Me too couldn’t agree more.

Perfect [5/5] for it. Watch it on IMAX screen to fully enjoy the movie.
