BADLA The movie’s a first directed from the focal point of someone with power and money trying to outdo the justice system, in order to save herself. With Taapsee Pannu as the one accused of murder, and her newly appointed lawyer, supposed to be Amitabh Bachchan, both of them shown as outsiders to us, one cannot trust either of them. Both of them are trying to test each other’s truthfulness as a part of establishing trust in a lawyer-client relationship. The metaphor of Mahabharata story brought in the story is an apt example, for it is the greatest story of Revenge ever told. The allegory is used to explain some aspects of justice system and remarkably fits in with the examples. There is no complication in the murder mystery. It’s a simple question of what is the truth? What has the potential of becoming the truth? How truth can be manipulated? How lawyers deceive the facts and frame an innocent for a crime? These aspects throw light on the working of minds of lawyers ready to mould any loose ends in the clues to the advantage of their clients. And then, there is also the victim’s family that goes to every length to take revenge, making us not completely believe in their innocence. This also reminds us of certain other movie plot lines on the same subject revenge, such as ’Mom’, ‘Teen’, etc. But, the plot is the most similar to the movie ‘Ittefaq’. The end becomes somewhat predictable, as the plot tries to confuse us with the question of who to trust in their story. Every thing said is just a story. You can tell the story in a way that it can be perceived as the truth. Extras: Adaptation of “The Invisible Guest”, a 2016 Spanish film. The name here quite justifies the character of Amitabh Bachchan in the film. Throughout the film, there are a lot of fast-paced cuts that move your attention from Amitabh to Taapsee. When the character Naina starts lying about possibilities and there are loopholes in her story, the angle of camera moves at a lower one and then behind Naina. According to the direction, Amitabh Bachchan(AB) or the lawyer Badal Gupta (BG) is standing in front of Naina. This scene makes BG look powerful and Naina is looked down upon as the one who is losing her authority. By the end, when AB is dictating the narrative, the camera cut between the two character moves from a wide angle to a closeup of both of their faces, which I believe is done to indicate the seriousness about the story and its possibilities of both the persons knowing that it is the truth. In the whole story being told by AB, the camera begins to focus more on AB on the screen, making him bigger than Naina’s deceiving character. It is the direction and editing that made a movie of two characters sitting in a room intriguing. Dialogues: Concerning dialogues, I would say, AB’s dialogues as the lawyer stands out the best. They have a philosophical tone. He has weaved in the Mahabharat allegory. There is coversation regarding truth, facts, details, and justice system. Final conclusion: It is a one-time watch film. The revenge motive is quite strong, which is somewhat able to keep us on the edge with suspense until the very end.

Monsoon wedding is an exuberant family comedy movie. It depicts the realities of Indian weddings. This movie takes into aspect every possible event that might occur during the course of a wedding. Also, all types of characters in the form of relatives have been shown to give the true scenario of Indian families. It is a joyous, colourful movie which would make you enjoy the wedding on the screen. I loved how a true reality of not only Weddings and its customs in India but also human emotions and families have been depicted.
