Mission istanbul: Love story 2050

Mission Istanbul was a nice movie, but could have been better. I really question the choice of actor in lead role: Zayed Khan. I think the same role could have been far better, had there been a better actor. The movie points out the relation between terrorism and a TV channel in Istanbul. The plot was excellent, but execution BAKWAAS.. to add it all; there was an advertisement of Mountain Dew right in the middle of the movie enacted by the characters of the movie.Now! can ypu believe this ... but you have to . To add to all this rubbish was a BUSH -Alike talking nonsense for almost 10 mins. Not to mention Abhishek Bachan, I think he should stick to his Unforgeable tour as his dancing in the movie was forgettable ;) Rating for the art: 1.5/5 Love story 2050! This is a brave effort by the director. However wish this hadnt been. Right from 2008-2050 the story had nothing to offer. What could have changed was the treatment. Sadly, the treatment was also so bad that it was not gullable at

Dor: Must watch

Of late I am getting chance to watch some movies that I have not been able to watch.One of them was DOR. A movie I quite often heard of from "n "no. of ppl but hardly got the chance to watch. Post watching the movie, I never thought that a script and the characters can pose so much of effect on an individual. The movie questions infinite traditions and have left them unanwered. The story is abut two women - Pure and chaste. However fate brings them together and Nagesh Kukoonoor has then added his flavor. The reactions of the characters have been amazing, and Ayesha was amazing in a soft and suttle look. She is a widow. In Rajesthan, a widow is a home of broken and shattered dreams. She not only loses her husband but also her licence to live and be oneself. This aspect is really highlighted well in the movie. There is a burden of tradition that can be easily broken by her father-in -law for the need of money. The movie questions a miserable condition of the life of a widow. I

Taare zameen parr- Brave effort

The name of the movie says it all... taare zameen parr.. I think this movie opens our eyes to ourselves. When we were kids we would also see the beauty i rain drops and would talk to the pets -be it a dog or a gold fish. We would never bring in the logic in each and every situation. The best part of the movie is how well the audience accepts and relates to the situation. Dyslexia as a disease is handled and dealt with really nicely. This piece of art is really praiseworthy, but for me and for the other segment of population -middle class population the solution seems to be far fetched... If the child is not a performer, obviously as per Darwin's theory shall perish, hence there is no option for him/her , but to be a performer. There needs to be a balance : A painter, but a good mathematician; a singer but a good historian as well... Because in this run to succeed in the maddening crowd no-one but the best survives and for each parent, their child needs to be the best- Thus , more t

Marriage: Paradigm shift

Not long ago, I use to follow the maxim' Marriages are made in heaven so do thunder and lightening' . It is a strange relationship wherein 2 ppl who may be ice and fire get together. Marriage is a life long commitment that needs to be taken seriously. It also stabilizes the person and bring in responsibilities. It teaches us the joy of sharing- sharing both the joys and sorrows; ups and downs. It also motivates person to do good so that the repercussion of the same does not fall on the loved ones.I know these feeling are always in our heart but comes out only post marriage.. I believe that it is the best thing that happens to anyone and is thus recommended. We do not know how powerful we are, since we have the power to make people who love us, happy.....
