Suddenly, one Sunday afternoon it stucks me that I have a weblog {too} which I have been ignoring for quite a while with some innovative excuses {} everytime. And as some wise man said:-

"Man can starve from lack of self realisation {}as much as lack of bread "

So without letting any more excuse {} act as an obstacle to my RIGHT to blog  ...

Happened to watch the new released, Chak de India. SRK the veteran of Indian cinemas has finally proven that he a consummate actor. It reminded me of the Denzel Washington starred ‘Remember the Titans’ .

The story is about a coach, aka SRK, who with his group of some exuberantly frisky girls, who have assembled from various states across INDIA, weaves a team dream to win the world cup .

Though the director and the camera man have also done a brilliant job, what I liked the most was SRK allowed the youngsters carry on with the AURA of the movie .

A brilliant screenplay supported by a phenomenal acting by the whole crew .

Looks like this web blog is being converted into some film review site .

This time I'm going to express my views over a movie that I watched a few days ago about a (eligible) bachelor trying to convince his prospective father-in-law, who is some 6 years younger than him, to marry his daughter to him .

As most of the people would have guessed it by now, this is about the recent BIG B block buster ‘Cheeni Kum’ . The movie is about a chef/owner at an esteemed restaurant in London, who falls for an Indian lady who visits his restaurant. The two characters though extreme in their attitude and age , against all odds gets into a matured relationship.

The sequences / dialogues between the characters: Amitabh & Tabu, Amitabh & the girl child (gave a commendable and a confident performance) are really involving .

The success of this movie proves that the Indian audiences has matured and is accepting the intriguing themes that until now were an area being explored by the Hollywood movies only .

movie: 300 (review)

The opening scene sets the context and the canvass for what the audience would be expected to encounter for the next 2 hours. It reveals the Greek's tradition that how great men are born and nurtured to serve a specific purpose and the origins of Leonidas's battle strategy.

Xerces sends his messangers to the Spartans asking for 'earth and water' and a token of submission. The Spartans threw them into a well so that they could 'dig it themselves'.

Leonidas takes charge of 300 people, tagged as his own personal body guards, and heads towards Thermopylae.
This fleet consisted of men who had fathered sons, old enough to take responsibilities of their family.

Queen Gorgo is the epitomy of the strong Spartan woman. She tells Leonidas as he marches off to battle, Spartan, come back with your shield...or on it." She replies to the Persian messanger saying that "only a Spartan women knows how to give birth to brave men."

When informed that the Empire arrows would "blot out the sun", the Spartans as is characteristic of their laconic speeches responds back with, 'we shall fight in the shade'. Likewise Leonidas responding with 'Come and Take It', when Xerces sends a messenger with a word to surrender their weapons.

So next we see some musclemen, as if descendants of Hercules himself, springing to action to save their oil-painted landscape.

movie review: Parzania

The plot is based on the reminiscence of the Godhara roits. Infact one of the worst {communal} clashes in the history of modern India ??? Lead by forces inimical to the secularist law of the state.

Overall a thought provoking movie, with the director touching the human side of the audience, without actually showing much of blood shed, as it would unfortunately have had happened during the Gujrat mayhem of 2002 .
