Recently saw this promo of Prakash Jha's upcoming movie Aarakshan. The tagline of the movie is "INDIA v/s INDIA". For the past 20 hours or so I'm in Mumbai as such they call it. THE MUMBAI. Western suburbs. Well title of this post is also a catastrophic take on Mumbai v/s Mumbai.
I fondly remember Harish sir commenting that 'hum gaon mein rehte hain'. Whoa! What a true comment it was. We [i.e. the Kalyankars] actually do live in Village. The basic difference lies in the very fact that our thought process is totally different. People here in Western area don't try to look KHOOL..... rather they are. You catch here a dumbo guy and he will act as if the scholar of Kalyan. This is what draws a line. And hence I used the title 'Mumbai v/s Mumbai'.
It is true that we live in a central suburb of MUMBAI. But to be very specific I don't think we're even part of its development pace. But when I look at the things from the other angle, I feel our Kalyan is still more better in terms of congestion. Man! It took me 1.15 hours to reach Powai but 1 hour for travelling Powai to Andheri. Such a pathetic condition of roads. So many humans surrounding you. Yeah, one may argue that in some years time Kalyan too will turn into a somewhat clone of a western suburb, but still I want those few years to take few more years. Well, everything else is going fine in my Kalyan.
Okay okay, the post is getting really lengthy, now concluding it. Take Care, lots of love to all.
Regards,
:)

Found it on some website- its awesome
One old man was sitting with his 25 years old son in the train. Train is about to leave the station. All passengers are settling down their seat. As train started young man was filled with lot of joy and curiosity. He was sitting on the window side. He went out one hand and feeling the passing air. He shouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind". Old man smile and admired son feelings.
Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listing all the conversion between father and son. They were little awkward with the attitude of 25 years old man behaving like a small child. Suddenly young man again shouted, "Papa see the pond and animals. Clouds are moving with train".Couple was watching the young man embarrassingly. Now it starts raining and some of the water drops touched the young man's hand. He filled with joy and he closed the eyes. He shouted again," Papa it's raining, water is touching me, see papa". Couple couldn't help themselves and ask the old man. "Why don't you visit the Doctor and get treatment for your son."
Old man said, “Yes, we are coming from the hospital as today only my son got his eye sight for the first time in his life".
Moral: "Don't draw conclusions until you know all the facts".

Things that I'm looking for.... :)
I'm a lonely path of broken dreams, it is a heaven that I'm searching for. All these Stars seems dull to me, it is the Moon that I'm searching for. Happiness is so angry at me, it is the joy that I'm searching for. There is crowd around me at all times, it is a soul that I'm searching for. My life is like an endless road, it is a destination that I'm searching for. Don't know what it is that I've lost, may be it is me that I'm searching for...

Review of Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap
Saw this visual treat called Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap. This movie belongs out and out to none other than our very own Sexy Bbuddah Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. Time and again it has been proved that yes, Mr. Bachchan can carry the entire movie on his own old but still not weakened shoulders.
'What energy man!' this is what you will notice people exclaiming at the exits. BHTB is a pure masala movie made by a BigB fan for BigB fans. And guess what, its really good as compared to the other release of the week Delhi Belly. BHTB is a clean entertainer.
A simple story with a bit of twist tadka. A legend/institution in himself- BigB. Humour. Action. Romance. Drama. Emotion. Tragedy. Awesome music. A comic villian. Well these ingredients are enough to deliver a good hit at the BO.
Some may feel that they are watching a typical South Indian Masala flick. And they are right too. This is so because the Director Puri Jagannadh is from south. Even the action sequences and the background music for them seems to be having Sambhar touch [no pun intended!].
Well for the times BigB is there on screen, his aura is so over-powering that you don't tend to take your eyes off this legend even though there are 100 other sexy chicks by his side. And this is something which will make every Guy out there jealous as these babes are shaking their legs with 68year old BigB and not with them! Well as they say "Being a subject of jealousy is the indication of failure in life but being an object of jealousy is the sign of success in life". This fits exactly true for Mr. Bachchan.
BigB's acting is something beyond review these days. He is truly BAAP OF ALL as far as acting is concerned. And this is something that even his peers would agree to. His singing is getting more and more sharper with every song. His rendition of 'Haal-e-dil' is really soothing and heart-touching. After Aadesh Shrivastav, the duo of Vishal-Shekhar made full use of BigB's music sense. So kudos to them as well. Anvita Dutt Guptan too needs a thumbs up for her poems.
Sonu Sood is here for a long run. Watch out for him people as its not easy to look into the eyes of a Legend and acting superbly with him being in the same frame. Sonal Chauhan has capabilities of being a good actress. It never appeared that she is just one film old. Don't know why she was out of the screen space for three years. She is pretty, her acting is good, her dialogue delivery is also quite good as compared to her contemporaries, still why she was out is something which takes me to point at the lobby-ism in the industry. I won't get into it here.
Raveena Tandon made a brief appearance in a comic role. It was okayish. Hema Malini ji and BigB's chemistry works wonders. Hema ji still looks so pretty. But the real star as far as females are concerned is this new actress in the circuit called Charrme Kaur. She is too cute. Felt like squeezing her golu-molu cheeks as BigB did. Her comic timing was awesome as well.
Overall it's a must watch for true Bachchan Bhaiya's fans. Enjoy with your family. It makes for a great weekend plan.
On the whole- 3.5*/5*

Review of Delhi Belly
Before starting my take on the movie, let me put it very straight that this movie is going to be a big hit among college students and the pan-asian audiences [especially males those who understand bit of english].
Well, Delhi Belly made me think about two simple things- What is the limit of 'creative freedom' and what is the level of censorship in our country? Delhi Belly is a kinda soft porn masala movie with lots of abusing [physical as well as verbal].
I simply can't understand how come censor board passed the scenes like where Nitin presses the b**bs of that prostitute and the scene where Menka and Tashi are shown having hardcore sex in the hotel room and the very next moment the visuals are so depicted that it looks that Tashi is sexually aroused and also where it is shown that Tashi is licking Sonia's C**t.
Come on man! You can't always escape and take the hid of 'creative freedom' and bull-shit like 'movies are the reflection of society'. Okay, accepted that movies are reflection of society. But, one never performs sex in public. Its always in closet and I strongly believe that it should not be brought out of the confines of a bed-room.
Also, the censor board has to understand one thing that even though it an 'THE Aamir Khan Production' movie, still it needs to be "atleast reviewed". Tell me a single frame where they haven't used either sex or cuss words.
I'm not some orthodox fellow writing all this. I too love new concepts. But, this time there was nothing new. But there is this saying in a popular TV show 'Ammaji ki galli' these day that 'har cheez mein good hota hai ji'. Going by that, the only good that I derived out of this movie is the learning that these days one can get his/her film cleared off the Censor's scissor if you've a backing of some KHAN and you can show whatever you like.
And to be very true, being an ardent music lover, I feel the album of DB is rocking except the song 'Saigal Blues' where they've taken a dig at someone as great as K.L. Saigal. Ram Sampath did awesome job otherwise. The songs are really catchy and are ruling the charts all-over.
For story, it looks like a pseudo-clone of "Kaminey" except here drugs are replaced with diamonds. Truly, there was nothing new. A waste of talent like Vijay Raaj and beauty like Shehnaz Treasury. And for Imran Khan. Well, he will need 100 more years to atleast reach the acting heights of someone like Amitabh Bachchan who is giving him a tough competition at the BO this week.
For Vijay Raaj, I can say that after all he is also a human being. He too has got a belly and a fire in it. The fire of 'hunger' which I think is the biggest sin in this world. And for that he did this particular movie. In other words, just for financial sake.
And as far as Amitabh Bachchan is concerned, the cast and crew of DB must learn from him the 'self-censorship' for the way he himself used the word 'beep' in BHTP. One can easily understand what he wants to say even though he only utters 'beep'. That's where genius thing lies. Showing what you want but still being in the limits.
Guys, learn from this dialogue of BigB from BHTP- "Jab bhi mujhe gaali dena hota hai toh main beep bol deta hoon, isse do cheezein hoti hain, ek toh meri zabaan saaf rehti hai aur do saamney waale ki izzat ki beep lag jaati hai"
Everyone of us understood what he meant by "saamney waale ki izzat ki BEEP lag jaati hai".
By the way, one should not compare BHTP and DB as the target-audiences of both the films are different. I just used the example of BigB for a simple reason of the way our Indian films these days are deteriorating in terms of 'quality'. Even couple of weeks back, Bhindi Baazaar tanked at the BO. Though I sincerely loved the negative energy of the film, but I coudn't stand the cussing.
Also, I thought that the length of the movie could have been still shorter if that pathetic song of Aamir was removed. It sounds more nice on MTv. But, may be they thought that Aamir's charisma will attract more eye-balls.
And as the tag-line of the movie goes, I would conclude my article saying- Watching this movie one can easily say that 'S#!T HAPPENS' even if it is a case of cinema.

ha ha ha...
Today I just came to one cyber cafe to take out some print out for one of my projects. There I met this not so genteman type of person called Koushik Kalra. He claimed to have scored 99% in CAT. He was going to Harvard to pursue his MBA. Ya! obviously he is an MBA. Mahaa Bakwaas Aadmi....! He said he met Mukesh Ambani at a pub. [control your laughter guys]. According to Mr.Kalra CA can be done by any "TOM, DICK OR HARRY". He said he got a job letter from Aditya Birla Group of Companies when he finished his BMS from "AIIMS". [stop stop guys. stop hitting your monitor]. He said corporate strategy is very easy to formulate. He was of the opinion that "Kaash hamaare desh ka PM Manmohan Singh thoda padha likha hota". I tried to correct him at this juncture by saying that our PM is the most qualified politician of all time holding more than 30 degrees. He said I should update my database! [is this a thing to be updated?]. Moreover he said a CA will be a maid servant after 3-4 years. Here, I was getting out of my control so decided to plug-in my earphones and try and avoid him. But while downloading some files for project I opened my FB a/c. He just peeped-in. I was sending request to one of my dear friend Kanishka. He said "kisi ki bhi photo dekh ke request kyun bhej deta hai?". He resorted to "tu-tadaak" lingo! He questioned me like he is my dad. Even my dad doesnt question me like this. :(. Now I decided its better if either of us leave or one or the other will die.
I thank my mom that she gave me this auspicious locket to wear so that my temper is in control...! Just think what will happen to Harvard if this nos-sense, idiotic guy ever went close to [not in, just close to] their Campus.
Save me from such devils my lord!
