A Flop Melodrama!!!

A horrendous weekend with a movie called Agent Vinod where in the director is acting like a new age kid to complete his science project by copying some parts from this site, others from that, Same is the case with Mr. Shriram Raghvan, I presume that he must have watched at least a dozen of Hollywood run & chase blockbusters, he must have compiled all the scenes in a log book & ended up making this disastrous shit. Not a good way to spend the weekend & that too in a place which is the sacred birthplace of Bapu!!! & if you dared to talk about the latest beer in the market the oldies will get a heart attack!!! 

Whats with the Story!!!

After a long week of some bed rest & some office work all you wanted was a happy weekend which turned out to be a disastrous one for two reasons: One thanks to migraine & secondly i watched Kahani with a head which was like carrying the load of 1000 hammers.

I was expecting a decent movie if not a good one, but in Kahani you will indeed get into the dilemma of finding the Kahani (Story) in it. Over & all the movie wasn't my cup of tea although I must say when it comes to acting Vidya Balan has definitely created a niche for herself at least in my heart. So the only sole reason for me to watch this movie was partly because of her & majorly because there was nothing else to do when you live in a place which is famous for being a 'Dry State". Although it was a brave attempt by the director Mr. Sujoy Ghosh for making this movie. Next time if he makes any movie (which I doubt he will!!!), I feel he needs to do his homework properly before attempting any such thing. 

The only good thing which made me glued to the screen was the way with which Kolkata was picturized. Those crowed streets, Those yellow cabs, The Trams,Those ladies wearing the the white sari with red borders which is something common in Kolkata during Durga Puja, The Street tea shops and above all the hindi accent of the bengali characters and these were the things to watch out for when it comes to watching Kahani. It bought the good old memories of Kolkata-A place close to my heart, yet so far!!! Vidya Balan has definitely outperfomed every other big name in Bollywood. People are gonna remember for a long time, but i definitely doubt about this movie.

A nightmare to remember!!!

So its one of those unusual days when the whole lot of Indians out there playing the festival of colors-Holi on the streets & roads along with the loud music which is pepping your ear drums & you are instead of enjoying the festival, is just lying down on the bed with a thermometer in the mouth. What an irony of life it is to get sick at a time when you could have actually enjoyed the sweets, but instead of sweets you are subscribed to Boiled food thanks to your doctor. The worst part-When you are staying alone, far from your family & the ones who matter  don't even know about your bad health thanks to your prince charming attitude of not ruining anyone's festive mood, even a mere cough or few degrees rise in your body temperature brings the thoughts of counting your last days.  It just feels bad when actually you could have grabbed the opportunities of painting those beautiful, cheerful ladies to yellow & orange. I guess its a bad luck for me this year, better need to get well soon & instead of enjoying the day with some chilled beer i should rather sip some hot soup for the time being. :( :(

An Unfulfilled Desire!!!!

                                                               

Those dreams when i had the illusions of turning old,

Those moments when i had imagination beyond creation,

Those memories of Running to the Hills & Meditating on leaves,

That was the life i always hoped for, but since the time the boundaries,

of Unfulfilled duties of feeding few more people, when i learnt to fly like,

a free bird, under the shadows of my fellow beings, 

Under a Systematic Chaos,never ending called Life,

When the thoughts were rigid & eyes were bright with,

hopes of lust, for one more day to live, enjoy, 

before the time comes to an halt, & you realized,

What you waiting for was just some stupidity, 

Some Happiness, Some

Love to last forever, 

To Remember forever ,

 When the skin gets wrinkled,

When the hair goes grey,

A deep down side you realize,

Few dreams are still dreams,

Few moments were still as pure as wind,

Perhaps when the time comes to sleep,

in a wooden box, you bid your adios to the world

Still there are always few eyes always wet for you,

& You realize you want to live it all again one more time, But those 21 grams leave you on a high note of never ending displeasure of living & Dead.

A thought within myself!!!

There are moments in life when you just cant take it up. You just have to let it go because you are helpless at that time. At times life takes a sharp turn when you are not even prepared to handle the situations in a Static Motion.

Story of a Common Man-Paan Singh Tomar

After a long time I saw something beatuiful coming out from bollywood's belly. A masterpiece with great performances when you have actors like Irfan Khan in the lead & people like Zakhir Hussein & Mahie Gill in the supporting and if that was not enough then you have Mr. Tighmanshu Dhulia of Haasil's fame wearing director's cap. The Outcome-Pan Singh Tomar.

This is one movie which takes a different view on the lives of the "Revolutionaries" of the Chambal Valley. A story of an athlete who wins medals for his country, but is rejected in his own homeland due to system which doesn't recognizes the poor & backwards. This is a story of a commoner who loses his people to his own cousin just because of disputes for some acres of land. A great picturization of situations with witty dialogues and an outburst for true human emotions especially the one scene where in Mr. Tomar joins the sports academy of Army just to fill up his belly. The script is well written & a solid background music which just moves with the flow of the scene, This movie will definitely make you glued to the screen.

Overall i must say that Irfan Khan has delivered a great performance. He is someone who does the same thing as that of the rest of the people, but in a different way. I might hit the Cinema Hall back on Sunday for this one. Thank You Mr. Tighmanshu for giving a good weekend break.
