Dallas Buyers Club


Just see their transformation......... Hats off to them!!!!!



What a film!!! Probably the best film I watched in recent time. Mind boggling performances by both Mathew MacConaughey and Jared Leto. Based on a true story, Mathew is Ron Woodroof, an electrician who leaves a reckless life, full of booze, drugs and girls as a result he is detected with AIDS in 1985.  Doctors tell him that he has only 30 days left. He comes to know that there is a drug named AZT which is being administered to the HIV patients on trial basis at the critical stage, as AZT is still under research. He bribes a hospital staff to get the AZT. In the meantime all his friends deserted him. He is labelled as gay… though he is homophobic actually. He meets a gay transvestite Rayon (Jared Leto) at hospital. Jared Leto has already bagged the Golden Globe for best supporting actor for this role. He is surely going to win the Oscar too. What a performance… he’ll make you fall in love with this nagging bag of makeup….portrays every single emotion so beautifully.
Ron (Mathew) drives to Mexico and meets a doc over there, who tells him that AZT is highly poisonous and kills almost every living cell it comes in contact with. He treats Ron with some indigenous medicine of his own and Ron gets better. After three months he drives back to USA with huge supply of the medicine. He in partnership with Rayon (Leto) opens a forum named Dallas Buyers Club and sales those medicines to the AIDS patients. Lots of AIDS patients quits using AZT, this somehow concerns the FDA (Food & Drug Administration), of USA. They confiscate all the drugs. Thus starts the battle between FDA and bunch of AIDS patients lead by Ron.
