My TOP 5 movies for 2009

Number 1
Dev D
I wish i could mention this movie 5 times in my top 5 list. Yeah, this is the impact it had on me and the rest so many of us. What a start to 2009 it was. The more u say about this movie, the less it is.

I will sum it up in one line that I have never seen such an effortless and fine acting. Kudos to Abhay Deol. He rocks BIG time and Anurag Kashyap once again proves what an amazing film maker he is with this masterpiece. If I am in the jury of Filmfare Awards this year, Abhay deol gets the best actor award and Anurag Kashyap, the best director for sure.

This movie has made a deep impact on my life. Each an every song was just amazing and rocking. There are memories which will never fade away till the last day of my life. There are friends who will never come back.......

Wake Up Sid
This one simply touched my heart. The characterisation was so perfect, it couldn't be better than this. The story, the innocence of the main protagonist, the relation between Ranbir and Konkona, the moods and everything about this movie was so beautiful.

After watching this movie with my friend in Mumbai, I really felt that Goonja sa hai koi Iktara Iktara. Ranbir rocks and it is an amazing movie for a debutant director.....I just loved it.

3 Idiots
Aal is well. This is what i felt after watching this movie. Being an engineer myself and having experienced hostel life and ragging and growing up with my friends, I got transported back to my good old days. A really nice story with many scenes which made me quite emotional as I could relate to them.

Aamir rocks yet again. A very nice way to end 2009.

Number 4
New York
A very well made movie. It had huge expextations before its release and it definitely didn't let us down. I liked it so much. Especially, the character of Neil who is special to me probably because i share my nick name with him or for some other reasons.

This movie had everything : pain,love, fun and most importantly HOPE. While i write about it, I am already listening to one of its songs which i like so much....'Mere sang to cahl zara' All the songs were so nice and so melodious.

This film reminds me of many new people i met in 2009, some who are still there and some who will never come back in my life.....John was great in this movie and it had fine actings from all the main leads.....

Number 5
TUM Mile....

I knew this movie was gonna be great as soon as i saw the trailers, then the songs, then the actor himself with whom I share a very special association.....Those who know me well can gather what I am talking about.

The story was soooo nice. The moments, the emotions, the circumstances, I can so very much relate to them......There are scenes which just touches U.And the songs are just out of the world..

I felt so so good after watching this movie.....It made me so much happy. I still remember each an every scene from this movie and can watch it again and again. There are feelings which come out from this movie which are hard to explain. If you have missed it, just go for it and U will know what I am talking about.

This movie is the most special of the lot to me for many many reasons.

The pain of losing.....

What is the pain of losing? Is it the feel of loss or the feel of strength that one has to go on with life. The night of 18th December 2009 made me realise this. Yeah, this is the ill fated night when i lost two of my friends and colleagues in a terrible car accident. 2 AM & i got the message that i have lost them & a couple more are battling for life. I was speechless for a moment. These are the same set of friends that i had spent a full day together with them one day back and someone is telling me that they are no more.

I am someone who has very very few set of friends in my life and when i lose them, i know GOD is taking my test. One of them was planning to throw a new year bash at his place on 31st Dec 2009 but that day turned out to be his Tehrvi.........Can LIFE be more mysterious than this????

I am down, I have lost faith, this is the kind of New year i spent.....After seeing my other friend battling with life in hospital, I could hardly control my tears....My heart is bleeding out for them...and their family.....I am crying from inside...I don't have the strength to take anymore of this.

GOD .........please help me if at all U exist.
