Beyond the Clouds

Me and my wife were watching 'Koffee with Karan' where Karan was hosting Shahid and his brother Ishaan. I love Shahid a lot and based on his suggestion in the show ended up watching this movie. My comment is not biased based on what Shahid mentions but Ishaan has got talent. I hope he gets through all the challenges and does well in future. I wish him to concentrate on his career and be the best he can be. Thank you Majid sir for this amazing treat. Loved the movie. Sad that the movie is so underrated and very few know about it.

Seriously even the words i pour from my mouth in the praise of this movie would seem to be injustice. One of the best cinematic experience ever, depiction of poor areas and brothels are peerless. And the best scene was when the main character Amir is sleeping under the bed of patient, Akshi, and later awoken by little girl, Asha, and the same scene is repeated but this time Asha is sleeping under the bed. Director is depicting situation, mentality and the psyche of characters in the most prominent and powerful way. Soul enriching.

My Rating : 6/10 It's not a mainstream film, that's for certain, it's more a 'festival' film I suppose which means that it's open to interpretation and rough around the edges. I found the plot predictable, there are a couple of really well-acted scenes and the cinematography takes advantage of Mumbai's highly urban settings. Nice film, albeit niche and not for everyone.

One of the best movie I have seen in recent time.. what a cast. Everyone was looking so comfortable and suitable for their roles. Specially the child actors who played the role of a akshi's daughters ... Ishan khattar you just amazed me with you acting skills I know this movie hardly earn in India. But this movie is something everyone should watch . To the director - one of the best cinematographic experience I felt watching this movie. You totally nailed it. Bit disappointed in the climax where you can explain things in much better way but you just left it as it as and that I feel not in this but all off beat movies.. well still it's one of the must watch movie ..kudos to the entire team. Wowoo wowo

This is not among Majid's best works but it is still very watchable and heads and shoulders above most Bollywood films. It is a moving story of two families whose lives get entwined after a desperate girl injures an obsessed man whilst defending herself. Majid is a genius at weaving moments of hope and joy amidst a bleak backdrop. The acting is top notch and Ishaan emotes well - a solid start for a debutant. The movie fared poorly at the box office as is often the case for little gems with no 'face value'. Ishaan is a newcomer and Majid is not known outside the festival circuit in India. Thank goodness for Netflix though - it provides a platform for such movies to reach a much wider audience.

#MovieReview: Beyond The Clouds "You couldn't just pick and choose at will when someone depended on you, or loved you. It wasn't like a light switch, easy to turn on or off. If you were in, you were in. Out, you were out." -Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." -Charles Dickens I just can't say anything! Probably the best film I have watched ever. The rustic setting, the honest hearts, the complexity of relationships, the up & down, the layers,brilliant on screen performance, #MajidMajidi's legendary direction, #ARRahman's heart melting score, will surely transfer you beyond the clouds. A masterpiece which will kiss your soul and leave you mesmerized.

Direction: Famous Iranian filmmaker and prestigious award winner Majid Majidi want to recreate the magic of his movie children of Heaven with Indian backdrop. He showcase his cinematic excellence on Canvas and walls. The best thing about his direction is brilliantly capture human emotions especially sibling bonding. Performance: This movie is really great debut for Ishaan Khatter. His acting was really awesome through out the movie. Malavika Mohanan looks good in the role of elder sister. G.V. Sharda also impressive with only Tamil dialogues. There was very little scope for Tannishtha Chatterjee as supporting role due to short length of role. Script: Story line has great resemblance with Hollywood film Slumdog millionaire however this movie failed to reach that label. Great inclusion of Sibling bonding, friendship, betrayal and common human emotions in script. Climax left many questions unanswered and that's why this is different cinema. Music: A.R.Rahman has collaborated with Majid Majidi second time after Muhammad: The Messenger of God. Song "Ala Re Ala" was good one. Box-office: As this is low budget movie, so box-office collection will not be a bog concern. Starting day collection was lower than expected collection however it will gain the momentum in the coming days. Last Words: Please avoid this movie if you hate artistic approach in cinema.

This film a treat for a human mind which always wants a square in life..! This film teaches us that Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans. Hats off to Ishaan Katter, Malvika and of course Director Majidi. Suggestion for viewers:- Watch it at night...watch it alone ! You will start apprenticing your life and will never curse the life for what you don't have. A must watch !!

This is the movie that represents the art and this is how bollywood should make movies instead of those item number crap!

First of all I would like to say Triple Congratulations to the director, hero and heroine of the movie. Hero has lot of talents and shown up in the movie (especially I like the robot dance steps) and Heroine acted very good in all different role plays. Big Salute to the director and enlightened the risk of being more alcoholic persons, dealing with drugs and using ladies for fun objects. Some of the scenes are shown through the Shadow that is really mesmerizing. I liked the movie very much and big salute to the entire team!! Well done guys!
