Life in Technicolor

I've been on a movie marathon since the past few weeks what with such fabulous movies releasing in theatres. Also, cleared my backlog of movies I'd meant to watch in 2016 too. I've made a list of the Top 5 movies which I absolutely loved. Thought, I would write about them so that, those of you who haven't watched them, put it on your "To W atch" list. 😊 Hidden Figures - It won the Oscars not for nothing! My most favorite movie so far and hence at the top of my list. The story is about three African American women who work at NASA- Katherine, Dorothy and Mary Jackson- three unsung heroes of history who were the brains behind one of the greatest space operations- the launch of an astronaut into the space orbit. Its a story of struggle, willpower and women empowerment. Most importantly, it's about lifting others up as you move forward. They value their families, colleagues and society and balance each one so well. Standing up for what is right and giving...

I've been waiting for Piku since over 3 months now. Finally, when it released on the 8th of May, 2015, I somehow managed to get tickets for the second day. Almost all the theaters are running houseful so far! The movie is engrossing, you'll imagine yourself there with the Banerjees in CR Park & I didn't even realize when 2 hours were over!! Piku is a MUST watch for all age groups. Its one of the finest films of 2015 so far- endearing & special. Its a film which every family & working woman in India will be able to relate to. Shoojit Sircar has definitely mesmerized us all with the simplicity & originality of the movie.
