Bolt (2008)

Directors: Byron Howard, Chris Williams.

Producer: Clark Spencer

Starring: John Travolta (Bolt), Miley Cyrus, Chloe Grace Moretz (Penny), Susie Essman (Mittens), Mark Walton (Rhino),   Malcolm McDowell (Calico).

The 48th Disney film, Bolt (2008) is a great coast-to-coast adventure.

The film opens with a dog playing with his favourite toy, Mr. Carrot. The dog gets adopted by a girl named Penny and she names the dog Bolt. Five years later, Bolt and Penny play the protagonists in a hit TV show also named Bolt. Bolt (the dog) has to think that everything is real so that he can act accordingly, and he does that very realistically. But one day, he accidentally gets shipped to NYC. He doesn’t actually have powers, so he thinks that Styrofoam reduces his powers. He meets a cat named Mittens and a hamster named Rhino (who claims he is Bolt’s biggest fan) and embarks (literally barks) on a coast-to-coast tour to get back home and ‘save’ Penny, his owner who he refers to as his ‘person’. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

I like the plot of the film. The part where Bolt starts disliking Styrofoam is funny. Disney always gets its casting right. We had Chloe Grace Moretz and Miley Cyrus in this one. The animation was also good. Rhino’s claims for not being completely a hamster are great. He says that he is ‘1/16th Wolf and wolverine somewhere’. The flaws are:

·       It focused too much on the TV show Bolt than the movie Bolt.

·       It is very dramatic.

·       It doesn’t really have an antagonist (but it doesn’t need one😀).

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

1.       The characters are amazing.

2.       It is really an adventure.

3.       Isolating itself to one song makes it focus more on the story then songs and where to put them.

4.       It is realistic.

5.       Overall, THE MOVIE IS SOOPER!

Ole Ale (2024) Director: Vipul Mehta Producer: Rashmin Majithia Cast: Nana Patekar ( Omkar ‘Ole’ Lele), Siddarth Chandekar (Aditya ‘Aale’ Lele), Sayali Sanjeev (Kyra Hirve), Makarand Anaspure (Baburao). Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
