It often happens that idea lures filmmakers and infatuation becomes infection, first they fall in love and then they stumble at the Box Office.

Unlike of the above fact, this movie was big time money spinner of 2010

Seriousness becomes troublesome if we become serious for something which was never intended to be taken as serious. This movie depicts the same problem of having a perfect body yet deprived of soul.

I remember the moments that i cherished watching Game, Fight Club and Seven and then I had Social Network. It's not a bad cinema; its just i never expected this from Fincher. May be the treatment is too realistic that i couldn't find the detailed character build up which is like a must for Docu-Drama genre.

I am amazed as Ficher goes for a Bio-Pic and yet i completely miss out the lead character and not only the protagonist; the support cast of this ensemble cast is just too average. Conviction is to far to be expected, its like a masterpiece of an amateur. I am afraid but yes for me Fincher had simply burnt his hand.

Yes its possible, probably quite genuine to portray this generation to be shallow, selfish, immoral and stupid but i guess keeping it up with celluloid actually creates nonsense. Its hard to get convince the two faced Zuckerberg's character, who is a modern day Gates and yet doesn't know how to give his due to Buffet and Steve Ballmer.

He is intelligent, he is a sinister, he is Business men, no he is a Modern day entrepreneur... if I am not mistaken he is a Graduate and is in the making to be a Post Graduate... but he is smart, Geek, a nerd, a fashion victim who is a Master mind probably i should address him as a Visionary OR should I call him as a Jackass who F@#Ks his own ass by letting everyone knows about his glorious past in a most indecent way.

After watching Anti Trust, like Six years back i still have vivid memories of it. I don't want to compare these two or i would never say that why to have Social Network because we had Anti Trust; film maker will always make TrainSpotting or Requiem of a Dream. We will still have Sin City though we had Pulp Fiction and L A Confidential ..... but what least can be expected is newness, a Different treatment or a new vision .....

Okay if in something to condemn in everything then there is something to accept.

The Thriller treatment to this Docu-drama is a treat to watch, protagonist is not a sham, he looks like a graduate. Screenplay is intriguing; the only saving grace and may be the key factor that this can still be call as a movie. This movie too has its moments, the comparison and online ratting of girls, can't get more nasty than this if one is in a college. The apt of aping cool Google work ethic at workplace is again a nice one and yes court room drama is simply what flaunts Fincher's expertise in his field. Finally I guess its like an Old Wine in a new bottle, with a skimpy packaging and a Labeled as Contemporary.

I will go with 5 out of 10 for this not so great average flick.

I don't know how many will take this review in the right spirit, since majority of prior were 1,2 or 3 starred. As i defined the title, this movie is rare, audacious and inspiring.

I have been to Kashmir and can say that director has made sincere effort while writing the content and 90 % of the screenplay was authentic. Some can find this to be an exaggerated stuff but the tone of this movie is the voice of internal politics of valley.

First half of the movie comes up with lots of characters and Second Half sums up all end points and hence make this as a complete circle; yet movie fails to embark any high voltage drama since many of the cine-mongers were unable to understand the climax, it was same what went wrong for Mission Kashmir.

Before i can explain the climax of Lamhaa i think Mission Kashmir needs few lines, Kashmir is a very different state and it is divided in two parts, one wants to be with Pakistan and the second wants complete autonomy.By No means GOI will ever make any judgment which will please the above two categories and hence the only option left is make Kashmir as an International Issue. IN MK (Mission Kashmir)the attack on Hazzart bal (Most reputed Shrine) and the follow up on Shankracharya (Shiva Temple in Kashmir) was shown as an attempt from Terrorist to make Kashmir issue to be an International Issue, and seek UN's Intervention. So one can say that climax made some sense but yes it was not shown properly.

The Current sate of Kashmir is like that non Muslim are not at all welcomed hence this makes Kashmir as a very different place. The plot of Lamhaa was to create such situation in other parts of India and hence make GOI to succumb. Sequel to MK's climax is Lamhaa.... Migrants who left Kashmir in 1989 are in Jammu and Terrorsit planed suicide attack at the rally which was supposed to be reconciliation effort from moder day Kasmiri Muslim. The High point is if any such incidents happens in Jammu, then again it will lead to multiple conclusions, probably People will left jammu to seek more safe and better place or Jammu will become Armageddon (Hindu-Sikh Vs Muslims) or something like that....

Apart from climax, the 1989 holocausts was dealt as if one explains definition, some detailed interpretation would have made this docu-drama better. Editing was bad, some scenes could have trimmed very easily and hence would have made screenplay more effective. The most absurd part or the only thing i disliked about Lamhaa is that it tries too hard to explain small things and left major chuck unnoticed and finally tries to compile and give some solution, this actually questions the intellect of people who are dealing with Kasmir issue for last 20 years.

Yes Lamhaa never explains the scenario in detail, and i think its quite justified because this can lead up to lots of controversies(dangerous ones) and that too which can vandalize the current peace of state in Jammu and rest of J&K minus Kashmir.

In short, Its a true film about Kashmir and gives the insight of what actually happens in day to day life. A must watch affair.

I don't know what had been J C's reaction after watching this the Terminator Salvation, but i am sure it wont be NICE. This movie is a complete trash, and should not be considered as a 4th installment of terminator series. No Background Score, mediocre act and far far below average, clichéd story line.

Probably this would have worked if got made 20 years back.

Let me try to describe this Masterpiece, Robots are made to kill humans and our hero has to stop them, since humans cant fight back so they have to shun there base. Some killings followed by some more brutal killing followed by a 30 minutes of Killing monologue. Hero, if one can consider him as one rescues some ppl and finally second act of saving our mother earth(which includes only USA)begins. Heros are meant to die so ppl die, but one can hardly empathies. Base is shun and worls is saved, and thats how TS proceeds.

1/10 as half is not there. Strictly Avoidable.
