99 Songs

If you are a admirer as well a fan of art that may be music,art, visionary.... this is for you because it is a experience for motivation and knowing the true fact of art which is being eaten away by technology so called world.

I was actually shocked by the imdb rating and thank god I haven't watched this by the assurance of that rating, In that way I am less upset for watching this. There is nothing to larger part of the extent to be engaged with point. The approach of the film from the sounding of ARR(good) to cinematography(very imrpessive) to art direction(fresh and artistic) were so unique but the screenplay was routine and the flashback of heros childhood was obvious. The point was interesting until the conflict between hero and heroines father but there after its like an same old concept like Challenge (a telugu movie of chiranjeevi) and there wasnt any backing up by gripping screenplay as well. However, the last 15minutes, the way the main concept of the film has been linked to politics etc was very good. Its like you can watch first 20minutes and last 20minutes and you will be left with some satisfaction, watching it completely gives you that middle part of 1hr with routine stuff and emotions. Its an ok movie and definitely not worth of almost 9 IMDB Rating.

99 SONGS is nothing new in terms of story.

Only visually good looking and some songs are good. Male lead is just okay, female lead had a very little to do. The character of the father of the female lead is too much irritating.

The 2nd half is quite better than 1st one. Music lovers may like this film.

HONESTLY SPEAKING I didn't like it.

Available on Netflix & JioCinema.

A tune goes forward behind a scene which abruptly continues from a suspense. We dont know why that happened, 5-10 minutes later the reason for the event unfolds and people who keenly listen to the music can only understand that the same melody plays with a different orchestration. This trend is spread over all through the movie. The movie has many such occasions. Dont ask me where. Watch again if you didnt listen. It is a brilliant movie.

I would rate one mark lesser than 10 for having too many such loops.

In general, people who notice your own life can feel, life takes us back and forth, it is not always linear, such is this beautiful movie and the music that keeps flowing. Ebbs and bounds. Life is a musical, me being a pass-and-fail musician.

I was having a lot of expectations from the movie, as this was AR Rahman's movie. It might have not met all my expectations but though it was a decent watch.

The movie plot revolves around Jai(Ehan Bhat) who has only two priority, Music and his love Sophie. His girlfriend's rich father Sanjay Singhania(Ranjit Barot) challenges him to compose 100 songs and only after then he is allowed to marry Sophie. Jai with hi friend sets out on a journey to Shillong to write songs but he gets attracted to a Jazz singer Sheela(Lisa Ray) and then a betryal and an accident changes Jai life.

The movie primary focus should be on music and here AR Rahman has done a really good job by providing good music in abundance, be it a Jazz song or a classical note. But somehow I personally feel the music does not connected with the story that well.

Maybe the story was a little complex. There were so many things going on with story, the visual treatments, the dark side of the story, but it was all not very convincing. The writing could have been much better. Director Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy tried to tell the story in a sensitive way but not succeeded.

Expectations were there from a musical genius like Rahman, he impressed also but only in couple of songs. Overall music was good but not what one would expect from Rahman.

Ehan Bhat looks good and tries his best to give an honest performance. For the most part of the movie he really delivers a good performance. Edilsy Vargas looked decent and delivered a nice performance.

Overall, Rahman could have added some more quality songs. Though couple of songs in the movie are actually nice but there isn't any song which will be with you for a long time.
