We want SINGLE!!!

I have never seen a SIX was so unappreciated or a well knocked fifty went totally unnoticed. There was a guy hitting balls to boundaries and all the people were chanting for a SINGLE.

Sachin's 8 balls wait from 199 to 200 was truly agonizing. Thanks to Dhoni who made Sachin's double ton more dramatic. I really wanted to know that what was he thinking???

OK, we all know it's a team sport and individual records hardly matters. But someone please tell MSD that when it comes to Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar...there is hardly ...hardly anything matters....
That's why when someone asked the score of the match we said...it's 200!!

My Name is Khan and I will make you CRY

Watching MNIK is like getting those chain mails, which says forward this to 10 people or bad luck will hit you. Now if you forward it, there are people who will laugh at your stupidity and If you don't, you are always scared of getting 'bad-lucked'. I heard two extreme views about the movie, there are some who just loved it and in fact cried during some emotional scenes and there are few who just hated it to the core. So to get to the point, I HAVE TO watch the movie and here it goes.

I neither liked it nor hated it, it's just in between of these two. Let's look at it in this way, you go for a lavish 4 course meal, you liked the starters, you liked the desserts and even the restaurant ambiance is beautiful but the main course is so bland and really hard to digest. This is how you would feel while getting out of cinema hall.


There is Muslim guy called Rizwan Khan (SRK) and there is a Hindu single mother Mandira (Kajol), they meet in San Fransisco..fall in love, get married and then 9/11 stuck.

We all know, how America changed after 9/11 (and haven't we seen it all in Kurbaan, New York etc etc.)....Mandira's 13 yr old kid fall victim to post 9/11 Muslim hatred and that thrash the world of Rizwan. He has got a simple message for US president that 'My Name is Khan and I am not a terrorist.' and movie is about his journey.


Now the storyline is as simple as it gets, but when we have Karan Johar in director's seat we can't get away so easily. He make SRK stammer, Kajol to go all loud and brings every cliche' to make you cry. Honestly, movie holds good till interval. But then it just wanders as directionless as Rizwan in the movie. The lowpoint is hurricane hit town in Georgia. Goshhh!! it's just too much to take.

The movie works partially and mostly in pieces and creates strictly OK impact. The chemistry between SRK and Kajol is still alive and kicking. SRK's Rizwan is not as lovable as Mohan Bharav or not even as Kabir Khan, his Asperger's syndrome used just as a gimmick. And story could have been the same without it. Kajol's Mandira has very little to do, but her outburst can bring a lump in your throat. Music, Cinematography and other technical aspects are top notch and that we always expect from Dharma Production.

The movie make a conscious effort to make you cry, that is so evident and too painful to watch....perhaps as painful as second half of the movie. Now forward this review to 10 people and you might not get to watch next Karan Johar movie. Failing to do so bring a big bad luck and you end up getting stuck in lift with Uday Chopra. Take your call!!!

Google INDIA Vs. Google INTERNATIONAL

Google can be fun...in fact Google is fun! I like the way Logo changes every now and then depending on the importance of that particular day...so I happened to have some free time today and had nothing better to kill it.

Rogue, Rusty and Romantic - Ishqiya reviewed

Vidya Balan: "Aapko to thik se jhooth bolna bhi nahi aata"

Naseer: "Kya karoo, mein aurat nahi hu na!"

Vidya Balan: "Achha, agar aurat hote toh?"

Naseer: "Pata bhi nahi chalta ke mein Pari hu ya Tawayaf"

Striking, isn't it? Ishqiya hits the right chords and keep on coming to you with such brilliant dialogues and some awesome chemistry between ensemble cast.

Watch out for the disclaimer...the movie set it's difference from there itself. Vishal Bharadwaj has his own way of cinema, Director Abhishek Dubey's Ishqiya fits perfectly in to it.

Story of Babban (Arshad) and KhaluJaan (Naseer) two small town crooks who are on run to save their as*es drop by at fellow crook's house Varmaji. Varmaji is no more and the house left with his widow Krishna (Vidya) who provides a shelter to these two street smart, witty and to large extent selfish fellas. What follows is an interesting premise and I do not want to kill it for sake of movie review.

Ishqiya works mainly for it's treatment which is rusty and honest at a time, dialogues are real crackers though sometimes hard to digest and finally the masterstoke in terms of casting.

Arshad is finally out of circuit act and he is truly a treat to watch.

Naseer is a amazing as romantic and yet too vulnerable Khalujaan

But the movie belongs to Vidya Balan, the lady must have born with Saree, as it suits so good to her. I just loved her in this movie. She is wacky, manipulative, helpless and all at the same time.

Gulzaar and Vishal Bhardwaj have created a magic again. This sutali bomb is surely fun to crack.
