Life! Camera Action...

After hearing so much about this movie & how many awards they've won, I finally watched LCA when it got released on Facebook! Loved how the director, Rohit Gupta, combined passion, creativity, family values and emotions to create LCA. It inspires everyone to follow their passion at any cost. All of us, at some point in our lives, feel defeated/discouraged about our passion & we just go with the flow & have regrets later on. But, watching Reina (Dipti Mehta) following her dream, her love for film making against her traditional parents' wish (Subodh Batra & Prabha Batra) and her motivation to prove herself to her parents is something that touches everyone at some level! Every actor played their part very well. The music was great esp the song "Chalte Jaana Hai" by the famous bollywood singer KK. LCA & its crew truly deserve all the awards they've won for their work. Did you know this is the first movie ever to be released on fb?! Never heard of it before, but thought it was really cool! I'm sure we'll start seeing more people doing this now! Rohit - we can't wait to see more of your movies!! LCA deserves 10/10! All the best to LCA's crew! :)

Finally a movie with no sex, skin show, violence and no harm done to animals…It has happened!! Phew! I wasn't expecting much of a film, but I was pleasantly surprised. The film moved along with me never looking at my watch and I enjoyed every second of the film. The storyline is refreshing away from the hackneyed. The movie suffers a bit visually but it could be also due to the limited resources the director had. The story is also very true to life for the most part for any culture so if you want to sit down and watch a movie that you can enjoy and feel good about when you're finished, go for it! The final scene and the last frame will stay with you for a long time.

This is a fantastic movie. Well done. I am thankful that in this superficial world, there are still artists who are bold enough not to run from earnestness, but to embrace it. The director has done just that. This is a beautiful and honest movie, full of inspirations - beautifully shot and lovingly directed. The climax piece alone is worth the price. Keep your heart open and I assure you will fall in love with this movie like I did. Kudos to all involved. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes meaningful drama or just an appreciation for a well-thought out movie. Spend one and a half hour watching this film and there won't be a person in your household that won't agree that this film is one to remember. From a fan and a self-made critic, I give it two thumbs up :)

To be completely honest, I was actually impressed with this film.

A tightly focused ensemble piece, heavy on dialog taking place in the world's greatest: New York City. A young girl, Reina is threatened by her parents to be disowned, if she insists on a career that has seen only 'handful successes and more failures" like filmmaking, instead of doing what usually is the norm -- become a "doctor, engineer or an architect". This is the central theme of the film LIFE! CAMERA ACTION (Love this imaginative title too).

One of the most wonderful things a film can do is be so moving and triumphant that it makes you cry. You aren't crying because Reina is disowned, or discouraged by everyone instead you are identifying with the power of human spirit. To watch how Reina overcomes every obstacle she faces is inspiring. If this movie doesn't get you motivated, then something is wrong with you. This movie has a story that teaches a lesson.

It's a story that pulls at every heart string and emotions you possibly could have. Why? Well it doesn't have to do with the actors, though they all are great. It doesn't have to do with the filming; it isn't what draws us in. It is one thing. One major fact: Story! I am sure it's a Universal story. No wonder, it has touched hearts around the world and won all these accolades. Great job. What an accomplishment!!!

LCA is a movie that gives us something to believe in, something to think about. Never giving up. Always giving it your all. Loved it! I agree with others that ending is a classic. If you like emotional and inspirational movies then I highly recommend you see this film. I hope that you enjoy it. Thanks for reading.

Life! Camera Action… really touched my soul. I thought it was an amazing job for a first- time director. When I heard about this film from a friend, I began to research. The trailer alone made me buy the DVD. There is an element of freshness in the way the story is presented, as we accompany Reina (Dipti Mehta) through her life odyssey who is determined to follow her calling. There are some strong emotions in the film and the director keeps the film live and engaging. The culture-clash story might have been done before, but this is still very refreshing.

When I read about the movie and the director's background, I was ecstatic to know that this film is his first attempt to put a feature film together to learn movie making. It's all done very intelligently and with a breath of fresh air. The film moves very fast and kept me involved and entertained. Shaheed Woods – aka the character Mike and Uncle at the restaurant's occasional funny moments are a good chuckle and not some poor attempt at humor, and best of all, the movie moved me.

Making a movie for the global audience is a tremendous feat. Upon further researching I found out that the director had no previous experience in movie making. WOW… This has inspired me. Gupta, this fan of yours will surely be waiting for your next moves. All in all Life! Camera Action... is very much worth a viewing. Or even two! The uplifting messages are totally rewarding.
