'Swar'- My Inner Voice!


Every person on this earth has his/her 'inner-voice. The sound which is deep inside and erupts only when you give a proper hearing to it. It is 'Soul-Searching' it is you, your thoughts, you as an individual, who has been doomed all the while.

At times when we feel low or those unforgettable moments when we are let down, we seem to need some kind of emotional or mental support. We usually speak to our closest pal or our dearest family member during times of distress to ease the burden. At such times we get over the initial drizzle of emotional anxiety and mental restlessness, because of the pepping up by our empathic listener. We suddenly feel rejuvenated because our inner voice alerts us to get on with things and leave the things of past on the memory books of our brain.

It is what is there in our sub conscious mind. It is always right as it reflects our experience with facts which are true. It can be used to rejuvenate our fallen morale, can be used to be positive, can be utilized to forget things, can be used to search happiness, when the world out is gloomy.

It is what we really are. It is our mirror image. It is one that is with us, even before we learn to speak. It will be there always, just hear it. It is the 'Swar' which you always want to connect with. It is yours. Don't ignore it!

Golmaal hai bhai 'plot' main Golmaal hai! **1/2

For more movie reviews by me visit www.fridaytadka.com
All those who have seen Golmaal, would agree with this, that the reason behind the success was the togetherness of all the 4 characters of the movie. Although they played against each other, they were united till the end and are infact seen together form the beginning.

Golmaal returns fails here. You see no togetherness or care for each other to achieve something common.
Would you have loved Lage raho Munnabhai if circuit would have been in another gang? Or say would we have loved Phir hera Pheri If Raju, Babubhaiya and Shyam were seperated?? The answer is straight no.

No doubt the characters are well sketched but they lose the shine as soon as they are seperated.
Here Gopal is in trouble and his brother in law Lucky with his Junior Laxman(talpade) helps him get out of it. Then there is also Arshad( Madhav) who is behind Gopal( reason not cleared) to catch him in trouble and harassing him throughout.

So despite the characters being good, some punch lines being good, you feel missing on something. I dont understand why Rohit Shetty wasted money on expensive songs, instead he could have roped in writers who could have helped him with better plot/story.
All in all a waste of gem like characters in a weak script, which could have encashed if payed attention on better script.

'Perfect' Body Boss.... Me on the Way!

"One has either to feed people or amuse people in order to be remembered for life" These are the words of a famous English philosopher. The person, however, missed saying that one has to keep on doing things that surprises them and give the world pleasant shock every time.

This is what Aamir Khan has been doing throughout his career. Each time he sets the standards so high, that whenever someone reaches near him, he climbs one more step up the ladder. From the village-boy look in Lagaan to the spiky look in 'Taare Zameen Par' the man has adorned himself to become Bollywood's style icon. Now the perfectionist Khan has donned the perfect 'killer' look for his upcoming flick 'Ghajni'. His near bald look had already generated curiosity amongst the masses and now his chiseled physique in Ghajini has surely heightened that curiosity, to actually watch his performance in the movie.

But keeping the discussion of his upcoming movie performance aside, as we know it would be magnificent as always, I want to talk something about the splendid body he has managed to build. Well, to attain a body of this kind after crossing the age 40 is not a cakewalk. I am saying this because even I have been trying hard for some time now, to get a at least a medium size physique. But seriously I have not been able to get even that bulk, except a bit on face. As building this kind of a body requires 1) patience 2) proper diet and 3) Good training. Well I have the last 2, hope I develop the 1st one, the much needed soon.

So, hopefully you will see a better picture of mine, compared to the adjacent one, till August 2009! Wish me luck, support and love as i always crave for it!

Karzzz will do well.....!


Can Himesh Reshammiya act? Will he be able to match the performance of Rishi Kapoor in Original Karz? Will he be able to satisfy his fans again as he did it in Aap Ka Suroor?

I entered Cinema Hall with all these questions in my mind; and by the time I was half way through the movie, i got answer for couple of questions.

First of all Yes Himesh has pulled out a decent performance. No matter what the industry says but the fact is Himesh is impressive. Irrespective of what the so called badshahs and kings of bollywood have to say that, he can not act nor can sing, but who cares, till the time Himesh plays in his safe territory he will continue to appeal and will be loved by his target audience.

When he started singing I met people who commented "he is headache" but back home they loved listening his music and songs. Same is in the case of acting.

The film, as we know, is remake of classic Karz so I will not go much in story details but it is definitely a worth watch again in the new look. When there is so much tension and uncertainty all around in world with economic coming down, lack of job opportunities, it is relaxing to roam in this safe and predictable journey of Karzzz!

Karzzz is a complete family entertainer and will surely do well. I loved it ... A sincere effort reflects on screen!

Truley 'Sajjan' In today's Masala Movie World!


I began watching this movie with not much expectation. This not my fault here, coz as a common viewer I am addicted to watch masala movies (Om Shanti Om, to name a few) were I am guaranteed of complete entertainment.

As I mentioned above in the title, Welcome to Sajjanpur is truely sajjan in its presentation and content. We have Mahadev our central character an aspiring novel writer, but who is earning bread, writing pursuasive emotional letters for the illiterate villagers. Amrita Rao as kamla is powerful. Same with character of Ravi Kishen, Ila Arun, Divya Dutta and the eunuch. All have delieverd strong performances.

You should appreciate Shyamji's efforts for picking up this project. The film gives satirical comment on some of the important issues that are prevalent in the society. In a nutshell, not the kind of movie that will be your first choice, but not one to miss yet!

A Wednesday On a Friday *****


This is the 9th month of the year, and Bollywood has already seen a few spectacular films, despite a few disappointments namely Tashan, Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic, Love Story 2050, Contract. However, this has been a year were terrorism has been the central issue of not 1 or 2 but 6 movies. Khuda Ke Liye, Mumbai Meri Jaan, Aamir, Tahaan, Hijack and A Wednesday. In all these films A Wednesday directed by debutant Neeraj Pandey, stands out, and is a real winner.

Almost all major cities and towns have some where or the other experienced the black face of terror. A Wednesday brings out the same dilemma of the society, but in a unique way. From start to end the film grips your attention and no-where during the film will you be bored; in fact, the director tactfully fools you more then couple of times.

The director writer has succeeded in showing the exact emotions and grievances of people who are affected and who are forced to live a life of fear, and also one of the consequence, if their anger bursts out. The film also highlights the flaws and disability of the government to handle matters related to terrorism. Both the lead actors Naseerudin Shah and Anupam Kher have given an impeccable performance and are the central characters of the movie.

The movie is an eye-opner for many and has lot to offer. Neeraj Pandey has successfuly given a new twist to the film, and is high above the movies released on the same plot earlier this year. A brave attempt for a debut Neeraj!
