Anita Rodrigues

She loves watching love stories. She also likes movies which has a realistic touch in it.

Here are some movies she has definitely loved seeing.

LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS

Maggie is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone or anything tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie, whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie's and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love. 

Anita likes this movie as it is a love story of course. She feels the movie is realistic. She also feels that there is great understanding between the couple.

CITY LIGHTS

She liked this film as she felt it portrayed the truth about how people suffer when they move to cities from villages and the film did not have much songs.

A hard, unrelenting film that doesn’t give in to over-sentimentality, Citylights is like the city of Mumbai -- it beats you down and when you are broken, takes you in its arms and loves you. 

When a farmer Deepak , along with his family, is forced to abandon his village in search of a living in a city, little is he aware of what life has in store. Circumstances not withstanding, there’s hope. Hope of a better life. Of better days ahead. His guilelessness robs him off whatever little savings he comes with to the city, rendering him helpless, with three mouths to feed and no roof above their head.

The Dirty Picture

               THE DIRTY PICTURE

She likes the direction, cinematography and acting in the movie. She feels that the potrayal of real life actress Silk Smitha by Vidya Balan is flawless.

The story is about a make up girl who became an extra in movies and gradually the most wanted heroine of the early 80s. It is the story of Silk Smitha, a sex symbol from the South film industry. Silk knew her audiences well and she seemed unstoppable until she fell in love which could not be fulfilled. She was the queen of sensuality to the world but an ordinary woman at heart who sought true love. An unfortunate encounter with deceit and infidelity led to the tragedy that became her life.

ANIKET JUWARKAR

                 THE CURE.

This film is about Dexter, age 11, who has AIDS, and his next door neighbor Eric, a little older and much bigger, become best friends. Eric also becomes closer to Dexter's mother than to his own, who is neglectful and bigoted and violently forbids their friendship upon learning of it. When they read that a doctor in distant New Orleans claims to have found a cure for AIDS, the boys leave home on their own, planning to float down the Mississippi river and find him.

Aniket likes this movie because he feels that the movie has a connection with the real world even today. Society have always been discriminating and neglecting the people with aids and this still continues.
