Annayum Rasoolam

 Watching Annayum Rasoolam a love story about two star-crossed lovers who live in the hope that there will be a happily ever after life for them as a couple.

The story is as realistic as it can get and we can't help being blown over by the sheer intensity of their love. There is so much conveyed through the glances and the short moments that they share with each other. It makes it clear that love makes you a changed person.

The lead pair of Fahaadh and Andrea share great chemistry and do an amazing job as a couple that lives in hope in spite of knowing that they are doomed right from the word go.

The locations, some and music make the scenes memorable. The story remains with us even after the movie and our heart aches for the lovers. The movie is a bit slow paced but it created waves when it was released. An excellent movie that cannot be missed. It is a must watch for all Fahaadh Faasil fans. Great acting by the lead pair.

Earlier they did not have English subtitles for this movie but now you can watch it with subtitles.

It's streaming on Amazon Prime.

Cinderella

 "You're a shining star, no matter who you are!"

That's an important takeaway from the movie Cinderella. How can you not like a movie like this! Watching this iconic childhood fairytale in a movie once again! These are the kind of fairytales kids should be watching. This story is inspirational and the songs are really catchy.

There are so many versions of this childhood favourite Fairy tale but I really loved this one!

There is a lot of singing and dancing and an adorable lead pair. The location and the characters are wonderful. We all know the story yet we are kept engaged throughout the story.

I am a huge fan of musicals like these so I am glad I watched this movie on a whim. The songs are all simply beautiful.

This is an entertaining and relaxing watch. Movies like these are a welcome change from the realistic and hard hitting movies. A fantasy like this is a much needed break from the mundane. Dance, melodrama, costumes, locations and of course, the much loved story, makes for a must watch for all. Also watch out for the fantabulous fairy godmother, she just blew me away! Even the glass slippers took my breath away.

I must say this movie has it's own twist in it. There are some important issues this movie deals with in a matter of fact and non-preachy manner. It leads us to another aspect of the fantasy that we would never have thought of before. I admire the creativity and novelty with which an age- old story is retold.

Do watch this one. It will not disappoint you.

Expect the unexpected.

Do let me know how it was.

Record of Youth

 The Korean drama Record of Youth is an inspiring series about belief in oneself. The characters are realistic and do an amazing job with their acting. Park Bo Gum, my new KDrama crush, plays Sa Hye Jun, a model in the cutthroat fashion world who dreams of becoming an actor.

"I like the stories of BTS songs,” Sa Hye Jun says in one scene in episode one. “When I listen to their songs, it makes me want to live a good life.” These are words that many BTS fans like me can relate to. Lead actress Park So-dam ,famous for playing Jessica the pseudo art tutor in Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar hit Parasite, stars opposite my dreamy leading man Park Bo-gum. She is amazing as a make up artist who is a fan of Sa Hye Jun ,the model.

You just cannot take your eyes off Park Bo Gum, he is like a dream. He gets to flaunt himself as a model and he takes your breath away in that role. The episodes are heartfelt and are a slice of life. Such beautiful depiction of family and friendship, life, love and work. As usual the locations are apt and the storyline is engaging. This is a series about individual growth. It is inspiring in so many ways.

Another must watch series. They convey all the emotions so beautifully that we can't help being touched by them. A must watch series. I am completely addicted to this!
