The total Pursit

             The people have the right to freedom, live, liberty and the freedom to pursuit happiness, Of course, the man who scribbled, Thomas Jefferson, in the declaration of freedom, might have added this because of the revelation, even to himself, that the thing which he described 'happiness' is the thing people cant attain or conquer, its a thing which the people can only pursue on and on and on.

            Its based on a true story. In 1981, in San Francisco, the smart salesman and family man Chris Gardner invested the family savings in Ostelo National bone-density scanners, an apparatus twice more expensive than x-ray with practically the same resolution. The white elephant financially breaks the family, bringing troubles to the relationship with his wife that leaves him and moves to New York. Without money and wife, but totally committed with his son Christopher, Chris sees the chance to fight for a stockbroker internship position at Dean Witter, disputing for one career in the end of six months training period without any salary with other twenty candidates. Meanwhile, homeless, he has all sorts of difficulties with his son.

                 Anyway, its a story which I adore, admire. Its a story which don't hatch up any thought provoking particles in my brain, but its a story that tells me I'm also like the hero here, surrounded by many but endeared by none. The only thing which tempt him to live, attain and win is his son. That's his life, that's his happiness. He's nourishing him, cherishing him and pursuing him. 

 

Om Shanti Om

The real, long awaited entertainer from Bollywood's King Khan banged the boxes !!!! The much propagandised 'Dreamy Girl' Deepika Padukon blasted the spectators' minds too....

Of course, Farah Khan will be happy today having been transformed a simple, much pictured fantasy into an ecstatic film. And it is obvious, too, that the film will remind us the former bollywood masties like Karz, Karan - Arjun etc. But even a single scene in the movie won'tl launch you into boredom.

Om Shanti Om tells the story of Om [Shah Rukh Khan] and Shanti [Deepika Padukone]. Om is a junior artist in the 70s. Shanti is the reigning superstar. He is her biggest fan. He is in love with her. Om dreams of being a superstar, but an incident changes his life forever.
Om dies in a mishap, but is reborn into the present day. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise…

The post-interval portions only get better and better! And the second half is filled with tricks and mystery.

In a nutshell Om Shanti Om does not have a strong storyline. But the story telling which the director envisages concocts an elegance. The multi-star co operated song itself thrashes the theatres. Vishal-Shekhar's music is first-rate. The score is in sync with the content of the film and what accentuate the goings-on are the choreography and execution.

To sum up, Om Shanti Om is 'paisa vasool' entertainment. We haven't seen SRK in a hardcore masala film since quite some time. He had drifted to other genres, which proved his range as an actor of repute and cemented his status further. With Om Shanti Om, he gives back to the audience what he himself grew up on -- a thorough entertainer that will have the audience thirsting for more. But the 'picture abhi baki hey meri dost!!!'

The Boss

That was an underestimation !

This is about the new Rajni film Sivaji,the boss. The expectations were top at the sky. Rajni's long awaited film after two and a half year, Shankar's direction after the mega hit Anyan, Music Legend A.R.Rahman's scores, Antony's camera... Everything were there to expect a Universal picture. But the real craft was dissappointing as the media hype that the Sivaji got was a handfull. First, the music was charming and vibrant. But the visualisation doesn't seem to be on high peak, it was just average. Ofcourse, Shankar deployed all his cre, time, money for the song shooting, building a super set made of glasses. Really the set looks glamorous and royale. But the real visuals failed to put any mark in viewers. And Rajni too played only style numbers in the romantic song 'Saharaa..' which created monotony only.

And the media hype too was made in a different way. It was an innovative marketing strategy. Sivaji was filled the prime time of many national channels. And Sivaji became a big thing in middle class people's mind. And the regional channels too joined in the race to promote it. Thus Sivaji team got a wide range of spectacular marketing without incurring much cost(there is hues that the national team got a big sum for the same too).

Anyhow, that was only a Rajni film. And the graet victory of this average movie shows the real star power of the people's Super Star Rajni....

Naked Bharatmata - Hussain has shown naked woman with names of states written on different parts of her body. He has used Ashok Chakra, Tri-colour in the painting. By doing this he has violated law & hurt National Pride of Indians. Both these things should be of grave concern to every Indian irrespective of his religion.

T.I.A.

TIA, yes, This Is Africa, absolutely Africa!!!
Stuffed with the ravages of the civil war in the 1990s in Sierra Leon and people's quest for the diamonds, Edward Zwick concieved a thrilling, action as well as emotional movie, 'Blood Diamond'.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Danny Archer, an African diamond smuggler with a military background who is searching for a way out of a country engulfed in civil war, but he can't exit as he know very secrets of the conflict diamonds. On the other hand, the impeccable Djimon Hounsou plays Solomon Vandy, an African fisherman whose village is pillaged by an African civil uprising gang. Though his family escapes, Solomon is kidnapped by the gang and thrown into a forced labor camp where he finds the largest diamond anyone has ever seen.
The two met in a prison and Danny's quest for the diamond makes them to take dash through the blood thirsty bullets and bombs. Meanwhile Danny meets an American journalist Maddy Bowen, played by cute Jennifer Connelly, who pushes Danny to spit out the story of diamond traffickling.
As Danny uses Solomon's love towards his lost family, Maddy exploits Danny's need for her official help. Anyhow, the three blend with each other through the uncertain situations that they faces on their 'safari', and help and care each other without any hidden agenda.
Though Danny crosses all the bloody hurdles, he couldn't leave Africa. He witnesses his own end in that land of hostility. That may be the touching scene of the entire film. He puts hand full of sand from that outrageous land mixed with his greedy blood for diamond. Yes, its really bloody.

The Way 2 oscar

It was the first time the renowned Hollywood Director Martin Scorsese getting the Academy award for the best director category through the film 'The Departed'. The film is about the police's tracking down of a crime ring in South Boston. Undercover cop Billy Costigan, played by Leonardo de Capriyo, successfully infiltrates the South Boston crime ring fronted by Frank Costello. Meanwhile, one of Frank's underlings, Colin Sullivan, worms his way into the upper echelons of the police force, acting as an informant for his boss. The two snakes in the grass begin to lose sight of their true selves as they become wrapped up in their false identities. Fearful that they will be exposed, the two double agents try to learn one another's identities and kill off the competition. Anyway the director concieves such a small theme into a real subtle art creation. Scorsese scores !!!!!!

Cat's walk

NO KIDDING
London: They chase each other at high speed, wielding axes and hammers. But the famous cartoon duo of Tom and Jerry are in trouble in Britain for smoking on screen.
Media regulator Ofcom received a complaint from a viewer who took offence at two episodes involving smoking.
In one, Texas Tom, the hapless cat Tom tries to impress a feline female by rolling a cigarette, lighting it and smoking it with one hand.
In the other, Tennis Chumps, Tom's opponent in a match smokes a large cigar.
In a bulletin posted online, Ofcom noted "concerns that smoking on television may normalize smoking," and said that the Turner company, licensee for Boomerang which aired the cartoons, had agreed to edit some smoking scenes out of Tom and Jerry.
"The licensee has proposed editing any scenes or references in the series where smoking appeared to be condoned, acceptable, glamorized or where it might encourage imitation," Ofcom said, adding that Texas Tom was one such example.
But it would not cut all smoking scenes, it added.
Ofcom said it recognized smoking was more generally accepted when cartoons were produced in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, but noted that the threshold for including such scenes when the audience is predominately young should be high.
