predicated being

They told me to goto watch this movie and not campair it with Jab We Met. Expecting ‘Jab We Met’ or for that matter ‘Socha Na Tha’ were poems. Shahid wasn’t the star he is today when he did ‘Jab We Met’. Abhay Deol was vaguely known when Socha Na Tha came out. I went to watch these movies with little to no expectations and came back smiling on days gone by, connecting completely with the characters. I am a fan of Imtiaz Ali and his style of film-making. He has what it takes to take the TORCH of kindling the romance in air from Yash Raj Chopra [something Aditya Chopra, his scion has been unsuccessful at]. (more…)

Seems the cameraman and director of TV serial, Iss Jungle se mujhe Bachao, are spending mose of their creative energies and skills on filming Shweta Tiwari bathing for whole 3 minutues. The came just zooms in and out on Shweta Tiwari bathing. Disgusting!!

And I am not sure whats gonna happen as Negar Khan joins the crew. OMG!!

Review of Movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is inarguably the most highly anticipated release of the summer. I had loved the first installment of Transformers directed by Michael Bay back in 2007, the acting/premise/humor/action was superb.

That apart the movie has great premise and plot. The action scenes and visual effects are great. And for once the entire gamot of US army, air force and navy comes into play. The humor and comic scenes are also well placed. There are many duals between heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons each being filmed extensively and  are enjoyable to core. The new funky auto-bots are funky at times and pain to watch at certain junctures. (more…)

Kaminey Music is Average

You loved the music of – Omkara, Makdee, Maqbool. Trust Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar to come up with music that is different and sets up new milestones in terms of experimentation.

Kaminey, the Album will sway you with its title track ‘Dhan Te Nan‘. The song starts with single-string guitar plucking ala Quentin Taratino’s Pulp Fiction and then some more. Gulzar always playful with words - til til tara mira teli ka tel – balances the music with beautifully penned lyrics. This is a track one will end up crooning more than once. (more…)
