Infinite Thoughts

As a big fan of fiction books, it was my wish to read a fantasy fiction book written by an Indian author. But, for many years that wish of mine remained unrealized and unfulfilled. However, few months back out of the blue, I happened to came across a book named ‘Immortals of Meluha’. And oh dear! What a book written by author named Amish Tripathi. The Immortals of Meluha   is the first novel of the   Shiva   trilogy series by   Amish Tripathi. The story takes place in the imaginary land of   Meluha   and how they are saved from their wars by a nomad named Shiva.   It begins with the Meluhan king   Daksha   inviting tribes to stay at his country, one of them being Shiva's tribe. They soon come to recognize Shiva as their fabled savior called Neelkanth , after he devours Somras, a legendary healing potion, which turns his throat blue. Shiva decides to help the Meluhans in their war against the   Chandravanshis , who had joined forces with a cursed group called   Nagas . Howe

****Spoilers**** (Read only if you are the one who have watched the movie or you are the one who don’t mind if someone spoils your party. :D  ) If say, somehow I did not happen to know that this AGNEEPATH movie is actually a remake of old movie of 1980s, I would have guessed it perfectly right after the end of climax fight sequence. Such are the scenes in this movie that follow exact same path of old 1980s movies. Movie starts in a village ‘Mandawa’ showing Vijay’s (Hrithik Roshan) childhood life and his relation with his father and how main villain Kaancha (Sanjay Dutt) murders his father. This part is actually well executed and builds the platform for revenge perfectly. Then movie follows the regular path of how Vijay creates his presence in Mumbai mafia world with the help of Rauf Lala (Rishi Kapoor), who is apparently the arch enemy of Kaancha, and rise to the power with the only motive of seeking revenge against Kaancha. And blah blah blah…. Now fighting sequences,
