Finally, A MUSICAL FILM WORTH WATCHING! LES MISERABLES IS AWESOME!!!

The film tells the story of Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), an ex-convict who becomes mayor of a town in France. Soon exposed, Valjean agrees to take care of  Cosette, the illegitimate daughter of the dying Fantine (Anne Hathaway), but as a fugitive must also avoid being captured again by police inspector Javert (Russell Crowe). The plot spans 17 years and is set against a backdrop of political turmoil, which in the film culminates in the  June Rebellion of France.

The film is directed by Tom Hooper, director of The King's Speech, scripted by William Nicholson, Boublil, Schönberg and Herbert Kretzmer, and stars an ensemble cast led by Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, and Amanda Seyfried, and the best part is, they all sang, they really did! Lovely voices!!!


Les Misérables is a 2012 British epic musical drama film. It has grossed over $430 million at the box office, making it the second highest grossing movie musical worldwide behind Mamma Mia! ($609 million).

The film is based on the musical of the same name by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg which is in turn based on the 1862 French novel by Victor Hugo.

For most of us guys who can not even stand watching Bollywood movies, I will tell you that you should expect a lot of singing, but I will also crave your patience because this movie is BREATH TAKING! My favourite part of the movie is the ending, but enough of the peep talk, go watch the movie!!!
