Tian jiang xiong shi (2015)
Jackie lovers will enjoy...
This movie has very high production value all round. Must be quite expensive. Though in line with 'hobbit, battle of five armies', yet digestible over pure myth. There were quite a few 'technical' glitches, but can be accepted. Pace of the movie is good most of the time (no need to fast forward!).
It seems that history has nothing to do here, though it is claimed in titles that inspired by true events. Exact time line could not be guessed from the content and characters. However Arabic script might be used for indicating era 500 AD.
Finally, the action Jackie Chan is the best as actor as well as director as usual. Barring some, most stunts are well engineered. But missed the 'filming shots' at the end of Jacky's movies.
Paheli Tarikh (1954)
An urban dwelling family facing financial crisis every month even after 1st day of every month (pay day)
I remember this movie watched long back. In fact my mother took us to watch movie by saying that it is the movie has song 'aaj paheli tarikh hai, khush hai zamana aaj paheli tarikh hai . . '. This song was played by an Indian radio station on the first day of every month (I do not know whether it is still continuing or not .. !) . . . The movie started with this title song . . but . . then the tragedy started till the end and we all cried a lot along with whole theater.
As a mature person, I realize now that it was a good movie for a urban middle class family. The situation was true and still true for most of the middle and lower middle class of urban India.
I would remain curious if I get a chance to watch this movie again... I have given 5/10 just like that . .I may increase by watching it again.
