Hindi Movie Reviews
Go Goa Gone (Hindi)
Release Date:
May 10, 2013It is a comedy. It is a horror thriller. Action adventure. All of them! Most important, it is a full-on entertainer that brings on the laughs while having you on the edge of your seat wondering what's next!
Hardik (Kunal Khemu) and Luv (Vir Das) are two dope heads, slackers, stuck in dead-end jobs. Thank God for drugs, drinks and Goa (India's party destination). Girls are, of course, a welcome bonus. They hijack their best buddy Bunny (Anand Tiwari) on his way to work, so he can pay for the trip. Luv comes across Luna (Puja Gupta), a beautiful, free-spirited girl, and she casually invites him to exactly what they are looking for - an exclusive underground rave party on a remote island! The party is the brainchild of the macho Russian Mafioso, Boris (Saif Ali Khan), to launch the ultimate drug.
But something is wrong, very wrong, on this island! All of a sudden, they are accosted by these people? Creatures? Things? Where are all the party people? Who are these things? And why are they out to kill them? And who is Boris? And why has this cold-hearted drug-dealing don come to save their lives?
Together they need to get the hell out of the infected island!
Gippi (Hindi)
Release Date:
May 10, 2013Gippi is a 14-year-old girl who lives in Simla with her mother Pappi and little brother Booboo. She is overweight and awkward and doesn't know how to handle the physical, emotional and social changes happening in her life. In school, she is a backbencher and is constantly bullied by the popular queen-bee Shamira. At home, she's trying to figure out how to deal with living in a broken home. In the middle of all this chaos, she falls madly in love with an older, brooding heartbreaker. When her love story comes to a humiliating end, and she is publicly scorned, she decides to take her life in her hands and accepts Shamira's challenge to stand against her in the school elections.
Whatever the final outcome might be, Gippi makes sure she has a great time in the journey, filling it with delicious desserts, funny teachers, school crushes, and Shammi Kapoor dances. Gippi is a coming-of-age story of an ordinary, overweight girl, who, through the course of the film, learns to love herself for exactly who she is. It is also a tale of an underdog, who picks herself up from nothing and finds herself at the top of her own little world.
