Last Watched - Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro

Ms. Saumya( I believe I  remember her name correctly) of CL asked us to watch this movie while she was explaining the difference between satire and sardonic claiming that it is one of the best satire on Indian Politics. And now after watching this one I have just two words to say about this one Cult Classic.

With one of the best star cast including Naseruddin Shah, Om Puri, Ravi Baswani, Pankaj Kapoor(Man! I am a big fan of him. How can anybody forget his stint in Office Office!), Satish Shah, Satish Kaushik this movie called for a big hit but it became popular only after some time(As a matter of fact, the same thing happened with Shawshank Redemption too!). 

Two simple man Vinod(Naseruddin Shah) and Sudhir(Ravi Baswani, who won the Filmfare best comedian award for this movie) after failing badly in their attempt to open a photo studio entangle themselves in the world of corrupt government officials and contractors. They take pledge to bring to light the wrong doings of all the corrupt and this is where the humor part starts.

The best part comes when all of them end up on the play of Mahabharta with the corpse of the former Commissioner(Satish Shah) playing the role of Draupadi and Vinod of Duryodhana. Instead of initiating the "Cheer Haran" part Duryodhana takes on to protect his "Bhabi" Draupadi thus turning the original Mahabharata upside down(Just for a thought, had something like this happened earlier the Mahabharata war  would have never occurred in the history !).

Well this was a true epic and I believe should have been a true hit instantly. But every thing meets its fate, Ain't it?

Cee Yaa!!

Last Watched - A Beautiful Mind

I have read about Schizophrenia quite a time but never seen somebody suffering from it. But thanks to this masterpiece from Ron Howard I finally can understand the myriad hardships one has to suffer if one is diseased Schizophrenia.

However, as our protagonist the great John Nash aka "Russel Crowe" can't distinguish delusions from reality the viewers are gullibly made to believe the same. But half way through the movie as the drama unfolds and it requires concentration on the part of viewer to acknowledge the abrupt change in the plot when John meets Dr. Rosen and is put in the hospital with the title Schizophrenic.

The movie mentions the myriad sufferings one has to go through and also that Love stands by you in adverse conditions as well. The delusions as seen by a paranoid schizophrenic person are also put forward in the most relating way.

And I believe that this flick deserves better rating( IMDB gives it a 8). Well I would like to give it a 9 seeing that the abrupt change I talked about above could have been presented in a little more better way.

Cee Yaa!!

Last Watched - 12 Angry Men

Well, I figured out about this movie while I was surfing the Top 250 movies list at IMDB some days back.

The title "12 Angry Men" immediately stuck to me.  I searched for its torrent, downloaded it and voilla today watched it finally. 

This 1957 master piece by Sidney Lumet is at number 8 in the Top 250 Movie List at IMDB. The plot of the movie is pretty simple, the jurors must come to a unanimous decision whether this "kid" under conviction of stabbing his own father is actually a conviction or an acquittal.

Set in the dim light of a small room say 25 by 15 feet where these 12 men are locked to discuss the fate of this boy. As the conversation begins they go on to prove that why this movie has been named as 12 "Angry" Men. This man Davis aka "Henry Fonda" stands alone saying the kid is not guilty and go on to convince the remaining 11 of the same.

My Verdict - Awesome, deserves to be seen by everybody before they die( I kindaa mean it!)

PS: I also watched this much talked about Bollywood flick "Udaan" and "Fantastic Mr. Fox" recently, but didn't get time to put the plot in my words.

Cee Yaa!!

Recently Watched - Forrest Gump!

Hello my name is Forrest, Forrest Gump. This is the way the protagonist use to introduce himself to anybody he meets be it a Bus Driver, a shopkeeper and all the hell lot of person he meets in this movie. Well the movie is nice actually great!

The way Mr. Gump speaks, his facial expressions tells that he is not that smart a boy. But whatever be, he actually goes places. As he says miracles happen! So after being born with a crooked back bone and after being put on braces, he is actually able to RUN and RUN and RUN. What makes me emphasize on RUN is that he actually does a lot of running in the movie. He ran for some 3 years stopping only to eat, to sleep and to do stuff you know! ;-p

The movie is successful in discerning the immortal relation between a mother and a child. The protagonist finds so many people that he use to think about be it Bubba, Lieutenant Dan but the most important person in his life was Jenny. Jenny, the love of his life who messed her life so badly that she had to elope several time and leave the protagonist thinking and missing her more badly.

The best dialogue - "Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates."

In all a very good movie and deserves to be seen by everyone.

Cee Yaa!!

PS: Well, I am watching a lot of movies these days and the next would be 12 Angry Men!!

Aane Waala pal!

What to say about this! This has been on my song list since the time I started listening music(Ohkk! I exaggerated a bit too far!). But this is awesome man!

Where do you find such songs today? Barring a few, all the songs today are nothing more than sh*t! Maybe that's why I am not into listening songs!

Well Golmaal has remained at the numero uno spot of my movie list for the last say 7,8 years. I have watched this movie for 10 times and still I am eager to watch it again. This movie along with ChupKe ChupKe are epics. Nothing can beat these gems!

Talking about this song! Aana Waala Pal! There is such deep meaning in every word. There is serenity in this song. It's like every word wants to say something to you! You can actually relate yourself to this song!

Enjoy this song!!Cee Yaa!! 

Last Watched - (500) Days of Summer

Well I just watched this movie. And I would like to say just one thing - It's Awesome.
I have always wanted to see this movie ever since I downloaded it, but thanks to the Mid Semester Exams all my plans of watching this movie got delayed!
But better late than never.

The story revolves around the this tagline:

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn't. 

This is not a love story. This is a story about love.

The protagonist Tom Hansen finds his dream lady in Summer. But alas he left the things to destiny and Summer ends up marrying the one who does not believes that things are meant to be. Rachel Hansen, though the little sister of the protagonist is a Relationship expert and Tom always looked towards her to decipher the thoughts of Summer he couldn't understand. Let me quote the best line of the movie for you:

 The best way to get over a woman is to turn her into literature!

The rating of 8.0/10 is well justified! You gotta see it to believe there is nothing like destiny. Just like Tom gets to know when he meets Autumn.

Cee Yaa!! 

Skyroads and the passion is back!

I remember playing SkyRoads when I was a small kid of 7 or 8. It was the time when my first computer just made an entry in the house. Thanks! Dad for bringing this awesome electronic item that today have changed the entire perspective with which we look at world. But at that time my computer could only support games such as Dave(Aah! This was too an awesome game) and Skyroads thanks to the limited RAM and the processor.

Recently I again downloaded this game and yes, I am again feeling like a kid. I have been playing this game madly. Forget the Mid Semester Exams, this game is more fun.

It might look like this game is a tad too easy but you will notice the difficulty and the passion required to complete this game once you try your hands on it. I just completed the Level 27(The Earth 3) on which I was struck for more than 3 days. The popularity of the game can be accounted by the fact that people have uploaded the videos of all the levels on Youtube.

There are still 2 levels to finish before I can proudly say that I have completed SkyRoads. But these two levels are the most trickiest ones as evident from the videos posted on Youtube. Lets see when I will be able to complete this game.

Cee yaa till then!
