Fun Na

This one word sums up the whole movie, Yash Raj Films' "Fanaa". Being released with much fanfare, this movie is Kajol's comeback movie, co-staring her is Aamir Khan and the movie is being directed by Kunal Kohli.

Movie starts of well, especially if u are a Kajol fan. She plays a bling girl. She's vivacious and her screen presence it too good to be matched by any actress of genre. Aaamir is a tour guide who falls in love with her. The problem with the movie is it has a great starcast with a poor story. The director tries to mix romance n patriotism and sadly fails in both. The plot is so hilarious, that even a B-grade film has a better story in them. Dont want to share the story on my blog (Not b'coz of copyright problem but because i want people to be fooled by watching the
movie, just like me today)

Let me come to the few good things in the movie. The music and Cinematography. Sadly it ends there.

Aamir and Kajol are not the only two who are wasted in this movie. It has Lara Dutta, Shiney Ahuja, Kirron Kher who dont have more than 15 minutes of role put together. Tabu plays a cameo to perfection. Rishi Kapoor is a treat to watch. Aamir is a class apart, though his role is not well sketched he has done a good job. Kajol is good in her come back movie but doesnt have much to do. But their talent has not been fully utilised.

I think its high time that Adi takes up direction once again. We deserve more movies like DDLJ and Mohabbatein . As for Kunal Kohli, he use to sit and criticise every other director in Chalo Cinema. I thought Hum Tum was a great movie, and thought he had improved in his directorial skill, this comes as a shock. I think he better sit at home rather than directing these LATPUT movie.

A movie with such high expectation is not even worth its salt...

The never ending journey.

It seems stock markets have forgotten what downtrend is. When it reached 9K i was so excited that i wrote a blog. Now, i think it was a bit too premature on my part to put down my feelings. If i start writing blog on Sensex at every 1000 points upward movement, then i need to find more time and more words from dictionary to explain the never ending upward movement of the markets. Keep going up.. No blog on this till it reaches 15K

Sandeep, a photogenic face

When you are one of the smartest guys in the gang (Smart matlab, dekhne me smart), and why not get yourself caricarutised, I asked sandeep at Forum Mall on his visit to B'lore (incidentally that was his birthday) during October last year. It was then, we met ace caricature artist, Prakash Shetty, (formerly with "The Week", and now a freelance artist), there who drew a caricature of Sandeep. Here's the man with a cartoon of himself. Thanks PS, u did a great job.

Life at KP

Its what we call fondly call Kuntalpadi. This time i was there for teru. A new laptop and 2 digital cameras made all the difference this time. From morning to late night, me and my gang was all busy with exploring the laptop and digital camera. Needless to say, there was lots of Ismailing and clicking all the way.

Karkal Teru

One of the most eagerly awaited events for me is the the Car Festival at Karkal. Its the time to have fun with cousins. This time quite a few were absent, but that did not take the fun away from the festivities.

Okli on the day following the Hod Teru, was a never forgetting experience, with heavy rains lashing the streets of the town as the God's procession started from the temple in the evening. In short, full gammat. Nicer of the photos clicked are
