DUM MARO DUM -ok one timepass movie :(




Was very excited to hear nice reviews about the movie DUM MARO DUM which was told to be different type of movie from the usual run -of the mill types . The movie in the start created excitement by the scenic beauty of Goa and the beautiful shots of emotions like fear enjoyment . Prateek Babbar has done an excellent job who got the full time exposure in this movie. The movie the events are getting back in fro which makes the puzzles of certain screen very clear . the movie main star cast Abhishek Bachchan has done a decent job but stone face of his acting at times makes the movie bore bit at times . The new comer Rana Duggabati has good screen presence but no real stuff to act, just hanging the guitar and moving on his bike which looks so small for his physique. Govind Namdeo seems to dragging the role similar tone in SATYA . Bipasha role nothing short of just sleeping over and exchanging beds. the biggest and worst was selection and role of Aditya Pancholi nothing of his act seems a grey charcter.


Overall, a film saving grace was beauty of Goa , Prateeks nice act and dum maro dum title which blended with the situation. songs were also a dampener were the thrill of the movie was lost . the movie was similar to RGV style but was not executed with the sharpness and finesse of RGV thriller flicks. in the end, the movie DUM MARO DUM mein kuch kam DUM lag gaya :(

Ramnagari - a nice light hearted simple comedy

Watched RAMGIRI play on the life of actor RAM NAGARKAR . A very simple light hearted comedy with life antics and phases of the actor who wrote his autobiography with the same title .
The lead role played by the actor Kishore Chougle , who has got into the skin of the character.
The story of barber (nhavi) who is fond of life of enjoyment shows the simple and care free life of Nagarkar who enjoy life to the fullest . The Oppostion he faces from his family, to the way he is desperate for romance with his wife and the way he shines all over India with his Lok Kala with Rashtiya Seva Dal.





The actor Kishore has worked as a one man army in the drama with fantastic comic performance be his body language ,dialogues were simply great . The other characters in the play very new cast were equally good and supported it well.

Overall, a great and enjoyable evening with nice and funny play. A PLEASANT SURPRISE !!!!

Superb Win !!!!!!!!!!!!!


Dhoni smashed that one into the stands and a billion peoples dream was achieved . WOW!! what a moment very difficult to express. The way the stadium exploded with smiles, tears of joy , ecstasy it showed how everyone was desperate for this win . Watching this WC from 1987 where India was thrown by Englishmen in 1987 to the farcical performance in 1992, 1999, a painful loss in 2003 and shocker defeats in 2007 had eluded us from the coveted trophy for 28 yrs!!!! But the win today has erased not only the bitter memories but re-established Dhoni as the leader in all formats of cricket . The team gave its all be in fielding where Yuvi , Raina and Virat were like huge wall, 2G ( Gautam Gambhir) rock solid performance and Dhoni's captains innings which lead to the historic win. Not to forget Zaheer' s fantastic spell which laid the foundation for sucess.

Finally, the moment came when the Indians played like true champions to dedicate this World Cup to the little master who served them and carried the burden of batting on his shoulder for 21 yrs. Fitting tribute by Kohli to carry Sachin on his shoulders!! Now the celebrations will continue for long time to come and the memories will be cherished all through life.

Super win for Champion Team thats the way MAHI WAY!!!!!! CHAK DE INDIA :)
