My Thoughts on OMG! Oh My God and English Vinglish





OMG!Oh My God- 

It is epitome of how to handle highly sensitive subject without creating controversy. Story of a man questioning very existence of god himself? Filing case against top Religious places? Seriously, no subject could have been more sensitive and dangerous than this, especially in India where Possibility of people’s religious sentiments getting hurt is more than monsoon missing its schedule. The way directed has handled it is simply great. Story starts on slow note, taking its time to elaborate Kanji bhai's (Paresh Rawal) skepticism towards existence of god. Writer/Director combo has made every effort to make reasons for Kanji Bhai's legal battle against god digestible. Doing that they have also succeeded some serious issues going on in society in the name of God. This movie is capable of making even a hardcore religious man to ponder about good and bad things going around in the name of religion. For me that's the greatest success of this movie.
On performance part, Paresh Rawal is outstanding. How many shades of characters this guy can pull off? superb. Akshay as a god is very refreshing. I would give standing ovation for Akshay not just because of his performance but backing this movie as a financier and promoting this movie over his crappy Joker. Mithun Chakraborthy's character at a times might seem little far fetched. But who am I to say for sure that it is not out of reality.
Final Verdict- Best of 2012.
Totally Recommended…!!!

English Vinglish- 


100% woman oriented movie in which lead actress is making a comeback after a decade and they thought it would make audience come to theater, sit through 2 and half hours and above all enjoy it? Hell yah! It did all those things. It made hardcore masala/comedy fan in me come to theater, sit through 2 and half hours and enjoy it to fullest. It is odd for a youngster, especially like me, to go out for a movie like English Vinglish which has 40 years old woman as a lead actress. But the simplicity and Shridevi's prodigy I saw in film's trailer made me add this movie in to 'Gonna Watch It' list.

Very unique thing about movie is its simplistic story. Gauri Shinde’s execution of it makes it more intriguing. Shridevi looks like goddess of housewives, walks, speaks and act like she is living the story. Special mention and applaud goes to Priya Anand. Because I simply loved her character. I had a crush on her for a week. (Yah! sue me if I am being a 'Typical Boy' here.) Special mention to the background music of the film. There are few songs which are aptly placed and very soothing to ears as well. Navrai Maazi Navsachi and Manhatten are the best of a lot.

Final Verdict- Another masterpiece of the year. Totally Recommended!!!

The Legend Of THE WALL

This day I would never forget. Rahul Dravid is going to retire is what I was hearing, reading, seeing since yesterday. But I did not want to believe it. My mind was saying ‘yes! This is probably right’ but my heart just could not bear the possibility of not having Dravid around playing, fighting, winning and saving test matches for India. So I was eagerly waiting for today’s press conference, hoping against hope that this conference might be for some different reasons (though my brain couldn’t think of any). But that was not to be the case and Dravid indeed announced his retirement today. Retirement of Rahul Dravid has left a big, very big void in, not only team india but also in every cricket lovers life. I started following Cricket since 1996. And it is no surprise that Dravid made his debut in that year. I still remember that day, I, 7 years old then, watching a live match with all my friends on TV. The match was India Vs Pakistan at Sharjah. That day I first saw

My Thoughts On a Book 'Immortals Of Meluha'

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

My Thoughts on India Vs Australia Series

You know there are many reasons for a cricket fan in you to get excited this summer when two legendary nations are gonna face each other. When India take on Australia, there is always sparkling anticipations in the minds of fans from both sides. India Vs Australia rivalry started way back in 1947/48. Since then India has played 9 series down under, of which 6 resulted into defeats while 3 were draw. Last series in 2008/09 was more remembered for 'off'field battles than 'on'field battles. But still that series produced some fantastic cricketing contest nonetheless. In fact India's Win over Australia in Perth, which was a Fortress for Australian team for last two decades, actually started Legendary Australian Team's spectacular downfall. After 3 years since that last tour, both teams find their situation reversed(sort of). While today's Australian team is going through a rebuilding phase, India on other hand are preparing for well deserved send off to thei
