RA-ONE THE WRONG-ONE



SRK's much awaited film RA-ONE released today and the mixed reviews much more on the positive side made my decision to view it today. If not today , it would have been anytime this week since Ra-One was all over no space left where even if you close your eyes the character of G-ONE(SRK' Character) will be in front of your eyes.



With high expectations on Ra-One, the first 10 minutes showed the glimpse of boredom which made to feel this is Bore-One . The initial character of SRK of South Indian with aiyos, idlis and kunju kunju was typical SRK ham acts which makes you believe you are going to watch humbug movie. The child actor Armann Verma has played his part very well and it suits his character very well. Kareena Kapoor looks Gorgeous but seems to be POOO... FROM Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum . She has done her job well, the scene where she has negative shades has been depicted superbly. The plot of good over evil has been the central theme of the movie . The plot would have been okay if it would have been movie with shorter length and devoid of songs . The songs really broke the pace of the movie.



Regarding the VFX effects , they were simply wow. On that count the movie stands to be first with super effects and the execution. But considering the character and the story it falls flat. Can't imagine to watch its sequel . Arjun Rampal is a wooden furniture better not to have a word about him .





The songs "Dill dara" is nice soft hummable tune . The much famous " Chamak Chalo" is nice and fun especially  Akon vocals  but not in the class of item songs like Munni and Sheela.SRK has given his best shot for bringing advance special effects , the suit and all but the core part of plot and nice story line let it down. The train sequence was fun to watch and the introduction of Rajinikanth was a damp squib.The fight sequence of G-One and Ra-one was very childish and not upto the mark

Over the movie which through its over extensive overdrive marketing gimmickry with products like Pens, TV, Youtube Channels and Reality shows fell flat . It was similar to the delivery which spinners bowl which seems to come in and goes the other way around ... the WRONG-ONE. Yup the high expectations of Diwali release like DDLJ, KKKG, KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI,DON,OM SHANTI OM this RA-ONE was sure a BORE-ONE.

ENJOY DIWALI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






The mild chill in the morning air bring along with Diwali atmosphere . Diwali bring along the feeling of joy, enthusiasm , fun and lots of energy . We see along every house , shops nook and corner people scrubbing the floors and cleaning there houses to welcome Goddess Lakshmi at home. The markets are filled with heaps of rangoli colours , kandils(lanterns), crackers and sweets .


My favourite among them is the Akashkandil which sways with gentle wind during the Diwali night surrounded by the colourful light torans. The traditional pantis with lit up diyas removes the darkness of the night illuminates and radiates happiness in every person rich and poor with simple joy and smile.




The festivities and shopping around the Diwali is enjoyable but my favourite part of the festivities is the faral for Diwali . The fragrance of the bhajani for chakli which is brought freshly grounded is simply put of the world. WOW!!!. The aroma of the besan while preparing of besan ladoos craves to have the ladoo melt in your mouth as soon as possible.



Its great fun to be in the kitchen during the preparation of faral ( i do it very less and my work is mainly to taste the faral ). Its fun to watch the ladoos being rolled into shape and stuffed with pista,badam, charoli and kismis. The making of chaklis is fun to watch which really require skill and strength to shape them up. The crispy and sweet diamond shaped Shankarpalis( wonder why its name like that) are very beautiful .



But mine favourite is "CHIVDA". It just a bliss to have the combination of chivda, garma garma chai and Diwali ank ( makes my Diwali day :) ). The chivda is such a craze for me that friends at hostel used to address me "CHIVDA BABA" .Although its being my made yearly for me but the relish of enjoying it in Diwali is something different. The Kranjis with its sweet half moon shaped filled with coconut fillings also makes to lose the calories consciousness.Then are may rawa ladoos, anarse , shev the list goes on and on .... .


But the fun of Diwali is along with friends and relatives together and enjoying whole day with faral and gupshup day along. Evenings filled with dhamal bursting crackers , and who will miss the colourful rangolis which welcomes Goddess Lakshmi to bless all the year along . But the truth is fast pace life and the people moved away for careers head these moments have been lost . Still the advent of Facebook, Twitter and E-greetings have made virtual gathering of festivities.

Who can forget the bursting of crackers , the sparkling sparkles , the anars and the zamin chakras . It was fun to gather on the terrace or ground and enjoy the crackers with bonfire at the end.But, now we have to be socially responsible since these crackers also affect the old people, small children , animals and birds . So its better to burst cracker before 10 p.m and after 6 a.m .
The Diwali along with the welcoming of wealth it also brings along the responsibility to share joy , clothes, firecrackers and sweets to the needy people .

So , enjoy DIWALI with delicious faral, play safe with crackers and have loads of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SHUBH DIWALI TO ALL FRIENDS ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

PAISA VASOOL.MOVIE !!!


This movie Sahib ,Biwi Aur Gangster is a perfect movie which makes for the feeling of paisa vasool movie. A great entertainer movie with a taut script and a great star cast makes a great watch. Tigmanshu Dhulia initial movie Charas was also on drug mafia starring Irfan Khan and Jimmy Shergill which was similar entertainer.

The casting of the individual roles for the characters have been simply perfect . The aristocratic sahib in the heartland of Uttar Pradesh played by Jimmy Shergill is simply royal. The family which has lost it financially and fighting to keep its root in the political system uses every means available in the book to bump of its rival.The royal habits of hunting, the arrogance and lust has been depicted in very realistic way . Its very heartening to see Jimmy Shergill role has been of substance and main lead since he has been a proven actor in supporting roles in films like Wednesday and Munnabhai series.

Mahi Gill since DevD has been a revelation , she has played the role of woman neglected by sahib and always in search of quenching her thirst for lust. The intensity of the role has been neatly maintained by her . Her every look seems to have a flash of TABU in her and by her acting she proves she is different for the typically starry craps in Bollywood.

The surprise package has been Randeep Hooda in the role, he has done a wonderful role . His entry has been stunning he plays a role with aplomb.A spy planted by the rivals which it gets into illicit relationship with sahib's wife and then trying to topple sahib in the greed for power and lust for his wife.

The dialogues of the movies are fantastic and very apt to the situation . The script has lots of thrills and surprising move which keeps the audience on the edge of the seat. The supporting star cast of the main rival of Sahib and the politician . The rural setup, the rustic language and the gun fights bring the memories of the old filmi style treatment.

Overall , a fantastic movie which will make you smile with enjoying every moment of it .
