Yuvraj Movie Review

This a essentially a Subash Ghai movie, set in the backdrop of picture perfect locations of Austria as well as around Prague. While I was watching it, I had a feel that this one of the strong promotional branding campaign for Austrian Tourism Promotion Board. Okay, this speaks on subtle level about the fraternal bonding. It's also about realizing the importance of family over money, and that how people who have been blinded by the lure of lucre undergo a change of heart and mind when they have none but each other to fall back on in the times of crisis. With each frame bearing an undeniable Ghai stamp, 'Yuvvraaj' turns out, for the most part, an audio-visual spectacle with a missing soul. The story revolves around three brothers.

Quantum of Solace (2008) is the 22nd James Bond film by EON Productions, released in the India on 7th November 2008, to my knowledge this happened for the first time that a Bond movie released in India before USA as this movie is slated to release in North America on 14 November. It is a sequel to the 2006 film Casino Royale, and directed by Marc Forster. This time also Daniel Craig has performed as James Bond. In the film, Bond battles Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a member of the Quantum organisation posing as an environmentalist, who intends to stage a coup d'état in Bolivia to take control of its water supply. Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd, and is assisted by Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko). Let me confess, I have grown up with James Bond films, these spy films were a kind of Cold War propaganda, but nicely packaged like other young west oriented young man I was also charmed by Bond on screen.. These Bond movies were inspired by Ian Fleming's nove...
