You should watch this movie. It is a take on the Mahabharat crossed with The Godfather. Works surprisingly well for most of the runtime.

 

 

 

 

 

How about Abhimanyu, poor kid died because Krishna refused to tell him a complete story.

 

I thought his mother fell asleep before learning from Arjuna how to get out of Chakravyuh. 

[a2k]

Very controversial opinion.

[wileECoyote]

I didn't think I would like that movie but it was funny as hell, lol.

 

One of the best comedies of all time IMO

FRIDAY, 11 PM: While much of the nation is under a deep freeze, Walt Disney is basking in the sun as its animated family musical Frozen might be able to build a $300M castle (or very close to it) over the three-day weekend. Estimates are showing solid numbers for the film so far on Friday night (over $6M) with moviegoers continuing to buy tickets seven weeks after its debut. It could bring in anywhere from $22M to $24M this weekend, depending on the weather. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Onesopened Thursday in 2,867 theaters to $1.2M, according to Paramount and added what appears to be another $8.5M to $9M on Friday. It could make $18M to $19M by the time the lights come up. However, the horror film only received a C- CinemaScore (D- for those over 25 years old). Not good for any kind of long-term play. The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug (down 198 theaters to 3,730), nabbed another $4.7M to $5.1M Friday night based on early estimates for the third spot; The Wolf of Wall Street (Par) and American Hustle (Sony) are in a continuous battle for position it seems. Both are playing in the $4M to $4.3M range and both added a small amount of playdates. The estimates are so varied on these two films that it would be irresponsible for me to report the estimated Friday or weekend takes until the dust clears tomorrow morning.Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues with around $3.6M in 3,407 theaters will drop out of the top five this weekend. In 7th, Disney’s Saving Mr. Bankswith around $2.7M, followed by The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Fox), $2.5M to $2.7M, Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (-172 theaters to 2,143), $2.2M to $2.4M, Warner Bros.’ Grudge Match looks to take in $1.7Mfor a $5.3M to $5.5M weekend. Falling out of the top ten is Universal’s 47Roninwith only $1.5M on Friday night and is expected to have a lackluster weekend.Walking With Dinosaurs at No. 12, down 683 locations, is plodding a path into extinction unfortunately for distributor Fox with a $1.1M to $1.3M take. Remember, these are extremely early estimates will be updating tomorrow morning early.

I'm watching the Exorcist right now and fuck I had forgotten how scary it was. I knew there was a reason I don't watch horror movies. But Masterfully made in any sense of that term.

Bravo, Indian epic. 

 

Next Disney animated epic? It's surprising there hasn't been an Indian Disney princess or prince yet (or even a Hispanic one for that matter). Just Mowgli.
