'Kaun Bihari Kaun Marathi'???

While surfing through the archive section of a leading daily newspaper on internet, this news titled, Sachin, Dhoni at opening of cricket academy, hit my eyes. Yes, M.S. Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar were star attractions for the inaugural function of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation Vengsarkar cricket academy at Thergaon on October 24.

Now the news story behind the news which I managed to get, or say, observe is very much important and worth taking a note.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, the cricketing God, is a Maharashtrian, but for all his life has been simply best to represent India globally through his game. On the other hand is Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a Bihari(North Indian) the emerging youth superstar of Indian Cricket. But when they are on field together in Indian team, do they distinguish themselves as Bihari or Marathi? No, coz they represent India, a soverign, secular, diverse, cultural,  yet united Nation. 

Again Mr. Vengsarkar, who organized this event is a Maharashtrian, but did he distinguish between the two??. No. Our diversity has made us an unique nation and we should use appropriate measures to maintain it. 

Through this article I beg all the readers to open up their brains and not to support politicians or leaders who try to divide India on regional, language or caste basis. By 2020 we want to be super power. If we fight amonst ourself we won't  be able to make a slightest progress. 

It's time for globalization, it's time for modern religion,  it's time for progress and  it's time for us to work together, where every one is equal and same, irrespective their caste.

JAI HIND!

'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!
