Movies to watch this Holiday Month

Films that somehow seemed to capture the spirit of a home

Abominable (2019)

A film by the Dreamworks Animation company, this movie is wholesome and much more. The story starts with a girl from an Asian household, little and quite rebellious. With nearly nothing comforting her in any way, we quickly see her working hard for something that she wants to save up for. At the same time, we see a creature, quite furry and obscure hiding in places and then coming to her roof, where she has a shrine for her father's belongings. What then ensues is a beautiful relationship between a girl and an incredible being.

With no idea of what the film would be about, this movie was enchanting and tear-jerking in a comforting way. The graphics are incredible with the music syncing beautifully with it all. A film that would appeal to children as well as people of all ages, this can be watched any day to spend time together. Mild spoiler, the song by Coldplay in this film feels absolutely beyond the world.

The Sky is Pink (2019)

Another favourite, this was incredible in the new generation of Bollywood films. With quite a bit of adult language and some sensitive topics being discussed in the film, it is a little delicate to watch it with little children. But otherwise, the film is based on the real-life of Aisha Chaudhary, diagnosed with health issues in her infancy, where we see her live her life and talk about love quite like she did as a motivational speaker. While it is easy for us to dismiss a person's lifestyle identifying them as sick or disabled, this little girl shows us how perspectives can be turned around to do anything you want.

With a touch of reality shrouded with cinematic entertainment, this film is a serious must-watch for anyone. The bonding this family has is everything anyone would wish for with little moments throughout the film that heals the soul. And with the actual brother of the protagonist having contributed his music for this film, it is entertaining and gives any individual something to ponder about.

Pan (2015)

We all know the story of Peterpan and Tinkerbell whisking Wendy to the Nevernever Land, away from the orphanage she was in. This film shows us the tale of Peter becoming a part of the Nevernever land, something outlandish and grimmer than imagined. This film shows us Peter picked from the orphanage by people trafficking people into a magical place where Blackbeard is ruling the land. Making new friends and looking for a mother who he never thought he would find, this film is full of beautiful graphics and an amazing storyline.

Having brought many things into the storyline compared to the original story, this film was not as received well by the cinema, and so became an underrated gem. With Hugh Jackman in a significant role, this tale is splendid for all audiences and a really good family watch. With fantasy creatures all over the story and endearing characters, it is a memorable watch.

Over the Moon (2020)

Featuring the story of a young girl who lost her mother due to an illness, this little girl sets out to build a rocket to go to the moon to meet a mystical goddess. With an unusual plot that doesn't make sense without the cultural background, this film is set in a Chinese household where they make mooncakes for a living. A loving father who adored her, FeiFei was still adamant and steadfast in finding the Moon Goddess to prove that she was, indeed, real. With so many challenges in her way with only her mind and will against it all, this story amazes anyone who has a conscience.

Sceptical to watching a random movie on an OTT platform, I thoroughly did not expect it to be sensitive and thought-provoking to people of all age groups. The film so delicately addresses depression, coping mechanisms and many more things that are still shamed in today's world. A tale of mythical fantasy and childish joy, this film appeals to children and anyone who enjoys a good animated film.

Naanu Nanna Kanasu (2010)

Put together over two decades ago, this Kannada film is beyond time and language barriers. A story about a father learning to deal with his daughter getting married to a man of another culture, it is entertaining and brings relevance to the tale. With Prakash Raj leading as the father, this film is hilarious and speaks of a story perceivable by anyone. A father's daughter as a child, now a grown woman making decisions beyond his imagination, this story shows us a tale that is universal amongst all parents.

Prakash Raj, known for his impeccable acting and quality performance, in this film brings out so many facets of his skills. A father through and through, his character questions her decisions, his worth in her life, and the seriousness of this entire situation. Set in a traditional house in Karnataka, this wedding about to happen is an experience to watch.

Hichki (2018)

A story of a woman stubborn in her ambition to be a teacher, it entails a tale of quirky students being mentored by a teacher with Tourette's syndrome. The world is against her for her ambition in being a teacher and is constantly being mansplained by everyone who interviews her, Rani Mukerjee has done an excellent job as Nina Mathur. Finding a role in an elite school she went attended as a student, this film takes us on a ride till the end.

A school with an obsession with elitism and high marks, and students being admitted with a change in educational policy, this school challenges the students of a different community to keep up with the world. With a narrative that is common to every student of this era and any teacher, this film is familiar and fun to watch at any time of the day. A wholesome story to connect with, this film was eccentric and unorthodox while setting standards.

777 Charlie (2022)

Another gem from the Kannada industry, this film is beyond any age restrictions and appealing to all. It is a story of a man and a dog getting attached beyond reason, and then experiencing a whole new world because of each other. A depressed man living day to day with no direction in his life and a young pup having travelled across cities only to settle outside his home to eat his leftover idlies. With a story that seems cliche and yet unique, this film takes us on a journey beyond our homes and our scepticism on how we can choose to love.

With the film still trending across television channels and OTT platforms, this film is available to watch over any weekend with friends or family. While I was excited that it was a Rakshith Shetty film, known for his style of acting and next-door boy charm, I was hesitant with anticipation to go on the emotional rollercoaster. And the film delivered it wondrously. With the stubborn pup being hell-bent on getting his affections and him being naturally dismissive of affection itself, this duo is enough to make any grown man cry.

Shaandaar (2015)

Not having run that well during its initial release, I believe this film became a cult classic with only selective crowds finding the appeal in its direction and narration. I would call it mildly underrated, even with many significant Bollywood actors due to the narration being highly romanticised, which is appealing to any imaginative individual. An orphan girl adopted into an extremely wealthy family, initially dismissed for her quirks, she develops close bonds with her sibling and her father. Fast forward to the present, the sibling is getting married when somehow Alia meets a man who is constantly competing with her father to prove himself.

With a quirky flair to the dialogues and imagined animation popping every few minutes, I find the film immensely visual and with a unique story. While the dynamic is common, something atypical is Alia Bhatt's character being an insomniac. Much like in fairytales her father would have promised to find her a guy who would make her sleep. While it is cliche, she ironically finds Shahid Kapoor's character is also an insomniac. It is a good watch for a mixed audience and makes for an entertaining time.

Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu (2016)

Ananth Nag and Rakshith Shetty are the leads for the film, which is a story of a workaholic son who is constantly mindless towards his father suffering from Alzheimer's. Having not expected much, with a film title that made no sense, this film is a highly enlightening watch. Between his work calls and regular visits, he loses his father right in front of his house. With no idea on where he could have gone, the son sets out to find him along with his father's daughter. As a mild spoiler, the title comes to light when it is the description used to find his father.

Starring numerous actors of high calibre, this film brings us a story from South India that feels extremely homely and cosy. With the visuals having been crafted very delicately to match each aesthetic, and the narration takes us on a journey on the person Ananth Nag's character was, this film makes us ponder on numerous things while also keeping us entirely engrossed and engaged.

English Vinglish (2012)

Made precisely a decade ago, this film was screened internationally and all over India. It stars Sridevi as the protagonist, a small-time caterer and a housewife in urban India. While her children went to a catholic school and her educated husband worked every day, it was common for them to dismiss her lack of knowledge and skills in English. As the story brings us a wedding scenario where she has to travel to New York to her niece's place, she is terrified of the prospect that she does not know how to communicate in English. This film shows us a perspective that most of us have overlooked easily and brings in a narrative that takes much courage and shows us the strength of this Indian woman.

Having read numerous articles regarding this film and written about it in a college essay, it was this film that woke me in several ways we patronize mothers and women in our household. While it isn't easy to admit, many of us dismiss the knowledge and experience that comes with a woman taking care of a home, much like the protagonist. The dialogues break our hearts, especially her perspective of the treatment pinches us in hidden ways. Gauri Shinde directed this film in dedication to her mother who was also a housewife with no knowledge of English. All in all, this movie is for all audiences, especially children so that they can be illuminated through this.

Instant Family (2018)

The story starts with a classic white couple having a wonderful marriage, travelling places and exploring hobbies. Until they finally acknowledge they have something missing in their lives. But instead of opting for a child of their own, they explore adoption or foster options where they choose Lizzy, who comes as a package with her two younger siblings. With barely any clue on how to be a parent, they welcome three children into their lives and home. But we all know that changes come with challenges. And hence starts their struggle to learn how to be a family.

This film, humorous by nature, has many notable details that make it unique while also challenging our perception of what a family should be. While we may initially laugh at how they all struggle to cope, we also see them being patient with each other and bonding over simple things that seem superficial sometimes. While the kids have moved from foster home to foster home and are inept at handling themselves, they struggle to let an adult take care of them. And while the couple thought it would be easy to manage children with their childhood memories to guide them, they slowly understand the perspective of the children that they brought home. It is insightful to watch this at any age and entertaining to any audience.

Night at the Museum (2006)

With a normal enough name as the film title, this film was brilliant and educated me in many ways when I was a child. The movie starts with a divorced father trying to find a stable job to meet his son regularly, who happens to chance upon the Museum of Natural History in need of a nightguard. With a simple job and three shoes to fill, he takes this job seriously with no idea of what would come next. Larry is terrified and astonished on the first night to discover that the museum comes to life every night to have its moments and breathe.

While the idea is refreshing, we see parts of history that are given a unique voice in this film, and it is also thoroughly entertaining and a classic for fantasy fiction lovers. Being nearly as old as my sibling, this film was a classic repeater on my favourite English movies channel on television. They screened it every week, and what's more, we watched it every time for how layered the story was. While the plot is simple, the story in itself is brilliant for the year it was made and the CGI that brought the imagination to life. With a fresh perspective on history and classic humour, this film is a splendid watch for anyone who likes a good time.

Vaah! Life Ho to aisi (2005)

Available to watch for free on Youtube and on Amazon Prime, this film is a throwback to two decades ago when values were different and so was the universal modern. The story starts with Adi being a part of a big family with his brother's kids to look after along with his older sibling and mother. Working alone for the household, he meets a girl that he quickly falls in love with and they decide to get married. All is going well when suddenly he dies in an accident and is then collected by a very modern-looking Yamraj, a lookalike of Sanjay Dutt. With his family in financial and fraud trouble, he is granted to help them out as long as he promises to come back. What then ensues is for the audience to discover and enjoy.

The film is obviously old with a perspective that today's kids need to watch. Showing us Shahid Kapor early in his career, this movie has an innocence that is not very common in today's world of infodump and knowledge is power. Having watched this film long ago, it was a kids' favourite back then and is entertaining for anyone. While some things might not be the same today, kids always enjoy a good film if it matches their pace and is fun.

The busy entertainment industry keeps itself on its toes by giving us shows and movies every few days, many of which go unnoticed. While it boasts of brilliant performances and writing, all culminating into pieces of powerful storytelling, it misses your radar amidst the latest and upcoming.

Here's a list of underrated movies that are a must-watch:-

-The Sky is Pink(Bollywood)

This beautiful work by Shonali Bose is a film based on the inspirational story of Aisha Chaudhary.

-The Way Home(South Korean)

This 2002 film written and directed by Lee Jeong-Hyang, is a heart-warming story about a rural grandmother and a city-born grandson, Sang-Woo.

-It Gets Better(Thai)

The Thai film industry may be the most underrated in the world but has some masterpieces to give to its audience. "It gets better", is a fine example of how to create a film about the LGBT community without resorting to extremes.

-A Vigilante (2019)(Hollywood)

Olivia Wilde is a criminally underrated actor. It's a spine chilling and gets the viewers engrossed in the movie.

-Brother Bear(2003)(Animation)

Brother Bear had a lot of great moments, and it was a unique tale we hadn’t seen before. It's a sweet yet thought provoking story of how it feels when in someone's shoes.

Happy Watching!

~Lokeshwari H Naidu,

Just a few words for Aisha Chaudhary, a young girl who died at the age of 18 due to Pulmonary fibrosis. A motivational speaker and an Indian author whose book " My Little Epiphanies " was published a day before her death.

A kid who knew death was waiting to take her away from her loved ones, a kid who suffered her whole life but still kept a smile. A motivation for hundreds and thousands and lakhs of people and a truly brave soul. She died on 24 January 2015 but is still somewhere busy smiling and spreading sunshine. A movie named," The sky is pink" was filmed that showed her life and how a family deals with the problems that arise due to weak immunity power of the infant. The movie shows the feelings of a child who wishes to live but also knows that she is not promised to be even the very next minute. And even in such hard and painful times she turns out to be a motivational speaker and an author.

Respect and love for her and her family!

And may she rest in peace.🌼

Top 5 Hindi Film Scenes of 2019

January 1, 2019

by Inakshi Chandra-Mohanty

1. The Sky is Pink - Ishaan at the Train Station

Ishaan Chaudhary gets a call from his sister, Aisha, when she is at her most helpless. Not much older than her, Ishaan is at a young age where his understanding of death may not be as mature as that of his parents. Till now, we have not seen how he is dealing with his younger sister’s illness and imminent death. In this scene, when Aisha calls up in tears, Ishaan’s first instinct as an elder brother is to be supportive. To reassure her, he tells that in their next life, through reincarnation they will all be reunited once again. He wants to be there for her, but inside, he is falling apart. As soon as she hangs up, he breaks down. All the pain, anger, sadness bursts out in the moment as he smashes his bag on the ground. In front of his parents and sister, he has to project himself as a strong individual. But in reality he is suffering as much as they are. The frustration builds inside him as he maintains composure in front of his family. And finally, in this scene, he lets it all out. The love between two siblings is rarely explored in films. This scene is so fresh and unique that it ultimately becomes the most emotional scene in the film. And without Rohit Saraf’s brilliant acting as the loving brother, this scene would have not been as passionate and impactful as it became.

2. Gully Boy - Doori Poem

While Gully Boy is at its core a film about a rapper’s rise to fame, it is also a commentary on the politics of modern society. The scene in which the Doori poem is recited in the background as Murad drives the car is the most socially relevant scene in the film. It brings out the brutal class divide omnipresent in Indian society. Murad and his passenger are both around the same age, in the same car, with a physical distance of a few feet, yet they are distant from each other. Her tears moved Murad, but his position as a driver prevented him from providing her with any comfort. He doesn’t have the aukaat (status) to help her and thus he continues to drive in silence. This strikes a chord with audience, some who are either of Murad’s status, or those who identify with the young woman. As passengers, people barely take notice of those in the driver’s seat, because there is an unspeakable divide that is difficult to bridge. And that’s what Murad uses as inspiration for the lyrics of his next song. The lines of the poem resonate well with the context. Kahne ko hum paas hai par, kitni doori hai, yeh bhi kaisi majboori hai….main yeh behte aasun pochun, itni meri aukaat nahin hai. They are close, yet they are far. And the barrier between them renders them helpless.

3. Soni - Conversation about Soni’s Misconduct

Soni is a film about women empowerment. But it isn’t just about women going up against men who knowingly discriminate against them. It is also about women facing small instances of prejudice even from somewhat progressive men. In this scene, Kalpana is having dinner with her family, as her husband and brother-in-law discuss Soni’s misconduct. It is clear from their casual tone that they find her aggressive behavior hilarious. According to them, women who behave in this manner come from violent homes. To them, it’s just a simple case of a woman who has faced violence at home leading to her relieving her frustrations at work. These two new-age men, sitting at a table with a female police officer, talk about women in such a stereotypical, mildly sexist manner. Even though Kalpana believes Soni’s actions crossed the line, she also attempts to understand the frustration that leads her to behave in a certain manner, which is why she remains silent at the table, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with her husband and brother-in-law. This scene shows the inherent sexism that seeps into modern families as well. There is blatant sexism everywhere, and that is easily recognizable. But, this hypocrisy and subtle patriarchy, exists in many homes, and is much more difficult to notice. And this scene makes us aware of it.

4. Section 375 - Food as a Metaphor for Justice

In this scene from Section 375, lawyer Tarun Saluja uses food as an analogy for the legal system, while explaining the intricacies of law to his former student, now opposing lawyer, Hiral Gandhi. This film, which deals with the twisted ways of the law, is summed up in this one scene. Tarun equates the different parts of the legal system, with different food items on the table. The dal is the prosecutor, trying to win in order to gain a promotion or a pay hike. The rice is the defense, trying to win for the fame, leading to a rise in fees. The next container is the judge, trying to win to reach a higher position in the court system, and get the opportunity to present landmark judgments. And the dahi is justice, which is forgotten in everyone else’s race for victory. The message that he attempts to convey is that everyone is in it for his/her own personal benefit. The courtroom is a battlefield for ambition, where the ideal is left far behind. That is core theme of the film. The absolute law, and ambitious professionals in the field, can lead to justice being left behind.

5. Article 15 - Asking about Caste

Ayan, a police officer from the city, is appalled by the caste discrimination in the small town where he is posted. He doesn’t have much knowledge of the intricacies of the caste system, as he has been living in an environment where caste barely has any bearing. In this scene, he is finally fed up of the constant references to caste by other members of the force working under him. His incredulity becomes apparent when he gathers all his subordinates, asking them about each of their castes and how they are related to the case on hand. It is quite a humorous scene as it is clear that he doesn’t actually have any interest in the caste system. He just wants to see to what extent these people will go to defend this discrimination, ultimately losing his cool at the end of it. The setup is meant to be hilarious, especially for those in the audience who are in the same boat as Ayan. But the comedic nature of the scene is just a means to show the grim reality. In many places across India, caste discrimination is such a common way of life, that even supposedly sensible people don’t protest against it. To Ayan, it is ridiculous. But for many others, it is their life, and that is the reality of society today.

Film review - The Sky is Pink

Director: Shonali Bose

Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Priyanka Chopra, Zaira Wasim

“GOD NEVER GIVES YOU A DREAM THAT MATCHES YOUR BUDGET. HE’S NOT CHECKING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, HE’S CHECKING YOUR FAITH.”

Making a film that deals with death, devastation and loss is as tough as watching it. I still remember feeling numb for days after watching Shoojit Sircar’s October. And when Vicky Kaushal howled in Masaan with his “ye dukh khatam kaahe nahi hota?” I felt vulnerable. But The Sky Is Pink neither takes itself too seriously, nor death. The director Shonali Bose, who surprised us few years back with critically acclaimed Margarita With A Straw, has upped her game with this and she definitely demands major attention. In some of the scenes she makes you uncomfortable and then suddenly she makes you smile like she owns you with a spell. In scenes where we expect dramatic music filled with some haunting background score, there are peppy tunes to lighten the environment. In scenes where we expect characters to cry and faint, they rather stand up and kiss.

This film is based on the true story of Aisha Chaudhary (played beautifully by Zaira Wasim) a high-spirited teenager, who lost her life to Lung Fibrosis aided by SCID. Her parents are at the centre of this narrative and the story moves back and forth continuously as the relationship between the two evolve. One of the many things that this film gets right is the casting choice. Farhan Akhtar as Aisha’s father is effortlessly brilliant. Priyanka Chopra is terrific as Aisha’s determined mother and there couldn’t have been a better comeback for her (If there is something like an actor’s comeback).

When it comes to treatment The Sky is Pink is brave- right from the word go. The characters here talk like humans (sadly but very Indian films manage to have dialogues like this). Their complications doesn’t look fabricated and it often feel like they have a real bare soul. Also, the screenplay is clever and they add to the narrative very well. Troops such a Priyanka’s hairs, or The Pet Dog, or the varied locations are smartly used to easily differentiate between the continuous flashbacks.

Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar starrer family drama, directed by the brilliant Shonali Bose, is a beautiful ode to life, death and indominable human spirits.

The only problem I had with this film was its length. When the audience knows what is coming in the final act of the film there is no point meandering around to create suspense (or should I say- to Bollywoodise it.) One of the scenes involving Christianity Conversion or something like that was hazy and looked underdone.

Nevertheless, The Sky Is Pink is a film to feel. It gives you answers and then lets you frame your own questions. So, what if your sky is not blue? Relax, everyone has their own sky. Every sky has its own colour!
