A unique way to tell the story of a legend. I feel kind of sorry for Mozart after watching the movie. Such a great talent and what a way to end it.

This is a master piece by Sanjay.
I love Amitabh (actor) and one can expect such great performance by him. But Rani was unbelievable in this movie.

Rear Window (1954,  PG)
Rear Window 4.0 Stars
The Good:
- Grace Kelly
- I became more found of this movie when I got to know that it's only no.3 after Godfather in all time thriller movies list at IMDB.com.

- I love the simplicity of the direction. It?s really pleasing to see such a movie in chaos of today?s direction, CG and weird camera angles.

The Bad:
- None

The Air I Breathe (2008,  R)
The Air I Breathe 4.5 Stars
I usually write down my reviews in The Good and The Bad categories. i m pretty much shocked to read the reviews of other peers. People here trying to compare the movie with Crash which is totally arguable. Crash has totally different subject. Only because these 2 movies share the making style dose not make this "Wanna be Crash" If people out there must know crash was not the original idea of combining different snippets into one story. I have seen great movies like 21 Grams and Amores Perros before crash.

This movie is unique in it own way. Everyone acted well and i must say Sarah Michelle Gellar impressed me the most since her past career picks are nothing more than unnoticed work. It's a good movie and i enjoyed watching it.
