Mission Istanbul

Hey,

The clock placed at 52 & 22 N and 4&53 E is ticking 1:30 and am listening to the latest of the one of the most dephasing song sung so far in the hindi movies. The song is called "Tennu ghori kinne charaya..." from Singhh is kingggggggg. The song has a catchy tune and wording even though u may not humm it in front of your elders. I just finished the Movie "MIssion Istanbul" . I had decided not to watch this movie after reading review from Masand . But since I had nothing better to do in my life , I gathered the courage and decided to darken my night by watching this movie. But I had kept my expectation very low just to avoid post-movie suicide attempts. But after watching the movie, I am feeling better. It is not as bad a movie as mentioned by the editor. I agree there are few points which were in-appropriate but he is presenting a view to the people that even media can go evil and be a part of militancy. I think, Masand has taken that part personally. Probably Masand believes Media is still from Satyuga and there is no evil souls available in there army. The movie had couple of really stupid scenes like the movie with a soft drink punchline , a george bush look alike acting as US president making mockery of Bush and US as a whole , movie's storyline not providing enough support to the plot & climax fight between the good and the bad turns ugly but you can predict the result. But as a whole, I watched this movie on my laptop and I am happy with the time I spent in watching this movie. The movie is a action thriller with an innovative plot. But one should remember it is an Indian Action flick. So that itself sets your expectation correct. I would say it is a decent one time watch, if you are a movie buff you can watch it with out any repentance

now it is time to sleep

gud night

Krrish - Part 2(LS 2050)

Hey,

Watched another new movie which got released last week. It is called Love Story 2050. As the name goes, it is a love story (*ing Harman Baweja & Priyanka CHopra)which starts in 2008 . But is brought to a sudden closure due to the death of Sana(priyanka CHopra) . But thanks to Uncle Ya of Harman(played by boman irani) the time machine experiment is successful and he by the stroke of luck finds her in the year 2050 in Mumbai(even though the original love episode was at the backdrops of Australia) .. Sana is noe Gisha which is a rock star . BTW 2050 has everything changed. It has flying cars, androids with aritificial intelligence and feelings , video conferencing and what not. But at one of the scenes, Uncle Ya was shown working on a robot with a 2008 version laptop (sorry am now programmed to find bugs in everything) ... In the End Mr hero is able to convince Miss. Heroine that she was his lady love in her previous life and he has come on time machine to take her along. And Again a Happy ending ...

But there are few things which were not original in this movie

1) Harman was resembling very close to Hrithik Roshan. In the dance, in dialogue delivery and even in resemblance. In long camera shots, I was more than once mistaken that it is Hrithik roshan acting on the screen. But thing which deeply needs to be acknowledged is that Harman is a wonderful dancer. I would infact rate him higher than Hrithik Roshan .This guy has an amazing flexibility and strength which is a good factor for him to succeed in his future projects.
2) The Action scenes were seems to be copied from Star trek and supercommando dhruv ( a hindi comic hero .. remember Raj comics) ..The famous Tubelight fight was to be again seen in this movie. Then there were the faster than light reflexes of harman which were able to make him move away from the lasers being shot at him.
3) He is shown running faster than the bus while chasing Priyanka. He wins a moutain bike challenge after Priyanaka asks her to do so .. Thank u god .. Mithun movies are finally back with a new star cast. I was missing them for soooo very long now . Mithun Da would be happy too. Though not his son, but there is someone who is making films on his capabilities.
4) The action also reminds you of the super hero powers and thus of Krishhh(without mask) . The looks of harman ,his dance capability and physique seals the impression that it is a the next sequel of Krishhh without mask ..

I am currently listening to a college time song which reminds me of lot of people from our college. I remeber this girl in college , after listening to this song , bought the tiny teddy shown in the song to office hooked to her sleeves ..

My first try at poetry

Hey,

this is the first and pretty 724ish/864ish poetry that came up after a 30 min effort from my side

sab hain mere pass par phir jaane kyon aisa lagta hain
is barsaat main mann bheega bheega lagta hain
khush hun main par phir bhi yeh ghumaan hota hain
sooraj bhi aaj bheega bheega sa lagta hain

jaane tu ya jaane na

sweet simple comedy unrealistic but innocent movie ..the movie is about two friends which do not realise that they are in love. But by the time they realise, life has taken a turn and they find that they are moving in different directions away from each other. But soon they realise this and then the usual Hindi movie plots .. destiny brings them a choice and they pick the one which leads them closer to each other . At more than one instance I found that the story is lacking reality and is mere bluffing. Two new faces in the movie give it a fresh flavour but I was expecting something more(I do not know what .. probably it is unjustified on my part) from an Aamir khan production. The acting and screenplay has been amazing but the story has a few weaker points .. like meeting up with cousins in the Jail for "Jay" , The college scene when "Jay" has to fight another guy etc...
But the pluses are it is wholesome family entertainer(except for a few lingos which are objectionable) . It seems like an innocent comedy to me and personally I liked it. I prefer movies which do not want you to apply your logic to the movie or think seriously(my personal preference)

But nytime a good watch worth watching and worth your time


But all the successful film maker know how to use Human psychology at there advantage. Whatever I could understand with my knowledge, it is mentioned below(with respect to this movie):


Plot : College going youth...a gang of guys and gals .. college time jokes (to associate you with the movie .. make u remember ur college days) .. make you feel at home

Background: We always try to associate hero/heroine(there character is so glorified as if they were part of National freedom struggle) with us and try to super-impose our lives on top of the story ..

Factor : People come to watch movie which makes them feel happy .. something like "Alls well that ends well" or "happy ending" .. hence no matter what happens .. no matter where the two lines are going, you need to bend them to meet

and you got a movie ready which is ready to shine in the box office

Music in Indian movies plays a good part but these days it is not a critical factor hence I didnt counted it
