Beautiful moments. Artistic with a special Indian touch.

Rating: 7/10 (29 November 2012)

"All of life is an act of letting go but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye." Thats the quote spoken by Irfan khan, which I'll cherish from this movie, Life of Pi.
The movie is spectacular in 3D. The camera work is beautiful and so are the locales. The screenplay is tight and the story is simple yet director Ang Lee has artistically made a different world in the movie. The CGI animation and effects of the tiger are so admirable that you won't believe that every shot on the boat with Suraj Sharma(young Pi) doesn't have any real tiger. That also shows the brilliance of Suraj's act as Pi patel, who was chosen from 3000 hopefuls for the lead role. Irfan Khan has such a good command over his dialogues, he grabs your attention instantly. Tabu and Adil Hussain are good in their brief roles.
Honestly, the movie did remind me of one of my favourite movies, 'Cast Away' starring Tom Hanks, which is incomparable. But Life of Pi has its moments and a special Indian touch. Do watch it in 3D.
