Rang de Basanti: Cute color combination

Source:Indiaglitz(picture)

Some people say history is boring. But sometimes walking through the lanes of the past can be enjoyable and gratifying, especially if you are guided by companions as spirited as Aamir Khan, Siddharth, Kunal Kapoor and Soha.

It is not a patriotic film that bores you by glorifying the past. Instead, it meticulously draws a line between the past and the present, both of which move in parallel lines. If the past shows a group of young martyrs sacrificing their lives to uproot the British from the country, the present has a bunch of college pass-outs clueless about their future. They simulataneously undergo a transition form being chill outs to concerened citizens as terror strikes them in the form of a dear friend's loss.

After watching the movie in AMC(with the best of sounds), I defintely feel its not a "run of the mill movie". In contrast , it guides u through the path of bitter realism in a relatively light hearted way.

The cast has been well etched out and there is no point in saying that one did better than the other. Although several moviies like RDB have come in the past(Aayutha ezhuthu, 4 THE STUDENTS), the treatment is what makes it special and worth watching.


Rahman does wonder to the script by giving some nice songs that adds mood to the occasion. Maybe a BGM could have elevated it to greater heights.


On the down hill side, the screenplay was a bit shoddy towards the end of the movies. The whole climax sequence was a bit bizzare IMHO, rather in other words, I was not completely convinced with the finishing part.Secondly, i hate to say the following sentences. "The movie will not be a great money grosser as it was classy for our audiences". There it comes again, CLASSY, Is the term relative??, I don't know???, Is it subjective or objective???, Well, i am not sure of that either???

i do not claim as everybody claims , but i go by trade facts, It stands to loose in chennai and mumbai even though it is doing well as it was sold for a huge price. Also, It is not doing well in interiors and rural areas. So , i claim , it is not doing well as expected from the money POV.

Still, it's a cute rainbow during the monsoon!!!!

THALAI ON TOP!!!

Spoofing a sardarji!!!!

Right from your childhood days , U would have heard numerous jokes mocking a sardar.I seriously do not know how this notion started , but it seems to have prevailed with people located throughout india. But on the contrary, These people have turned out to be channelised and work worms in real life. Be it US or UK, u could find these people scattered in every step of the economical ladder. Be it a taxi driver or a Texas instruments employee , U could find them in numerous numbers.


My friend had sent me a file of sardarji jokes which made me smile wholeheartedly,They have been treated stupid when they perform even the smallest of tasks. Imagine how a sardarji would feel ,if he reads all the sily jokes imposed on their breed. Anyway , a sardar is always cute in his jokes and we have to love them just for the sake of it . Let me give u a story where the sardarji is clever for the first time in history.

A Sardarji and his wife are traveling by car from Key Westto Boston.
After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they 're too tired to
continue, and they decide to stop for a rest. They stop at a nice
hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four hours and
then get back on the road.

When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill
for 350. The Sardarji explodes and demands to know why the charge is
so high.

He tells the clerk although it 's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly
aren 't worth $350. When the clerk tells him $350 is the standard rate,
the man insists on speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears,listens to the Sardarji, and then explains that
the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that
were available for the husband and wife to use.

But we didn 't use them", the Sardarji complains.

Well, they are here, and you could have," explains the Manager. He
goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for which
the hotel is famous. "The best entertainers from New York,
Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says.

But we didn 't go to any of those shows," sardarji complains again.
"Well, we have them, and you could have", the Manager replies. No
matter what facility the Manager mentions, the sardarji replies "But
we didn 't use it".

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the Sardarji finally gives up
and agrees to pay. He writes a check and gives it to the Manager.

The Manager is surprised when the looks at the check. "But sir," he says,
"this check is only made out for $100."

"That 's right," says the sardarji, "I charged you $250 for sleeping with my wife."

"But I didn 't!" exclaims the Manager.

"Well," the Sardarji replies, "she was here, and you could have."

Rang de Basanti:Ravishing

This is one of the cooolest promos i have seen for a movie. Looks slick and trim and people have an amazing screen presence. This is my defintion of a slick movie.The cast looks neat and the music sounds fantastic.

Immaterial of whatever the script promises to be , the promos automatically allures u to see the movie.AAmir khan looks young and madhavan is like cooooooooooool.This is what makes me jealous and also proud. The former for the fact that i expect tamil movies too be in the same league and latter for the fact it puts us in good stand on the international arena.

Even more, The movies which ended up amazing just by peeking at the promos.Movies that fall into the slick category.

1. KAAKKKA KAAAKKKA , the police
2. DIL CHAHTA HAI
3. COMPANY
4. AAYUTHA EZUTHU
5. KURUTHIPOONAL



hope VV & R d B FULFILLS MY EXPECTATIONS

This column has got nothing to do with eatables, Since i am thinking hard to blog, i am contradiciting myself,
beleif is such that i should never think and write about a topic for the sake of writing,So here are some latest munching news

Vettayaadau Villayadu is supposed to be made super slickly which is a very good sign. Kamal is working outside his banner with a class director.

Australia should hopefully clinch the test series against south africans, But it never was a cake walk for them, The proteas for sure put up a tough fight.

Is Puthupettai audio so good?????, I do not know, I am yet to hear the album!!. But people are going gaga over it , especiallly the song sung by kamal haasan.

Weather in chicago is suprisingly good considering the season at present. Hope its not a DHRISHTI!!!!


Classes start next monday for us , pLanning to take a course, lets wait and watch


No restroom fights with dushy as of now, He leaves early for his work which gives me ample time for taking bath.


The novel PELICAN BRIEF that i am reading is related to law but is not a trial case novel as such .It's more of political bureaucracy and assasinations.

Dushy was asking me about renting a car this weeknend(he wants to get a license badly) , WELL u know the rest!!!!!!!
