हे गणराया. . .

हे गणराया,

• लोकांना तुझ्यापुढे 'श्रवनणीय' गाणी लावण्याची सुबूद्धी दे ! 
• त्यांना आर्त्या पाठ नसतील तर निदान वाचून तरी अचूकपणे म्हणावयास लाव.
• अवाजवी भपका टाळून त्याची जागा श्रद्धेनं घेउ दे. 
• खरी श्रद्धा ही मनाच्या गाभाऱ्यात निर्माण होते व ती भव्य-दिव्य आरास/देखावे उभे करून किंवा महागडे मिष्ठांन्ने नैवेद्य म्हणून अर्पण करून या द्वारे ती कधीच व्यक्त होत नाही याचा साक्षात्कार लोकांना घडू देत.   

( काही खाजगी मागण्या !!! )

१) "पदोन्नतीच्या" अवतीभवती "पदलातीत्य" करुन-करुन संपूर्ण   
   "पदन्न्यासच" विसरून गेलो आहे. तेव्हा तुमच्या या सुकाळात हे  
    अडलेलं घोडं एकदाचं गंगेत न्हावू द्या.    

२) 'अविवाहीत/ विना-आरक्षित ललनांची' नजर आमच्यावर पडू द्यात व 
     पडून ती टिकू द्यात व टिकून ती पुढे कायमस्वरुपी 'कामी'  येऊ द्यात 
     म्हणजे पुढच्या वर्षी आपणास 'चार हातांचा' प्रणाम स्विकारण्यास 
     सज्ज राहता येईल. 

३) आमच्या मित्रांना (व मैत्रिणींना) आमचा वेडा स्वभाव पेलण्याची ताकद 
    द्या…धैर्य द्या…त्यांचा धीर वाढवा.

४) त्यांना ही मौलीक शिकवण द्या की 'भ्रमणयंत्र' हे या पामर 
     मित्राकरितासुद्धा वापरावयाचे असते. त्याचा    
     उपयोग केवळ काही 'राखीव' व्यक्तींसाठीच नसतो याचं सतत त्यांना 
     भान असू देत.

(अजून काही विसरलो असल्यास पुढच्या ८ दिवसांमध्यॆ नक्की सांगेन…) 

तुझा भक्त,

"Ashuddh Videsi Chance !!!"

The poor victims who felt that "I Hate Love Stories" was a milder dose for spinning their head must surely watch "Shuddh Desi Romance" which shall complete the remaining quota of their total brain damage.

With already 2 -ve reviews in mind, we (Mircheeonksur) dared to watch this movie.

Director Maneesh Sharma tries to touch many aspects in the film like Live-in relationship, fear of commitment, ? mark about marriage system, the unstable mind of today's youth, their eagerness to try out sex before marriage, the hypocritical and over-rated things related to a marriage, ignorance of guidance received from the elders and the urge of becoming independent from parents, career, decisions, selection of a partner etc etc. 

Overall speaking, it's an out an out movie made for today's youth and this fact will also be proved by the type of crowd in the theatre ;)

Maneesh Sharma being a very smart director released this movie globally with title as "Random Desi Romance" as somewhere he knew that the major concept of this movie which is live-in won't be engulfed smoothly by Indian audience.It might take ages for live-in relationships to become a part of Indian society/mentality and that's why this movie won't do a great business in later days....although it earned 7 Crores after its release.

Anyways, let's talk about the positives of the movie:
Sushan Singh Rajput: He showed his acting skills a bit in "Kai Po Che" however this movie gives him a chance as a solo hero where he showcases all his acting as well as dancing talent I may say....and of course his kissing talent too 
(And I am sure after seeing his 27 kiss scenes (Although I never counted them while watching the movie) in the movie, Profound Professors of this branch of affection like Imran Hashmi, Randeep Hooda would have surely had their heart in the mouth seeing someone taking away their 'Bread'-winning act). 


Although there aren't many dance numbers in the movie, the song "Tere Mere Beechme Kya Hai" gives a minute opportunity to this ex-dancer of Shiamak Davar's dancing classes to show that in future, if choreographed properly, he has all the stuff in him to produce a fantastic dance song as he has looks, great physique (which seemed a bit less as compared to Kai Po Che) and flexibility required for dancing.

Very smartly he shows the small-small nuances of acting when one is too confused...nervous....ecstatic...romantic...scared or angry.

Parineeti Chopra: This gal alike her cousin sis chooses different roles and that too in the initial stages of her career which is good for her and her career. 

From her 1st scene itself, we realize that we might get to see some different Parineeti in this movie and she doesn't disappoint us. She occupies the screen with her bold and beautiful awtaar.

Vaani Kapoor: Yash Raj films has an affinity for new attractive faces and they yet again present a new face 'Vaani Kapoor'. 

This 20 yr old model never makes us realize that this is her debut movie. There are scenes where she even overshadows Parineeti. 

Her total appearance in the movie is pleasant and refreshing. Every guy may prefer a girl like 'Tara' who is a combo of beauty with brains (remember that scene where she give notes of Rs 100/- to Sushant with her contact details on it ;))

Vaani can surely go much far in Bollywood if given a proper chance...ofcourse via her acting skills only.










Rishi Kapoor: If I won't mention his name then it would be injustice to this attempt of movie review. 

This 2nd inning of Rishi's career is a real inning where he is now actually 'acting' now in a real sense. 

Atleast now thankfully he doesn't try something new which won't suit his age and thus he comes up with new and challenging roles.

It all started with 'Do Dooni Chaar'...followed by 'Agneepath' (Man....never thought that he would pull out Rauf Lala with that much arrogance and shrewdness)...continued in 'D-Day'...a must watch movie to see 'Dawood Ibrahim' portrayed by him...and now his caterer owner 'Goyal Sahab'.

Mark my words....this year's most awards for the 'Best Villain' and 'Best Comedian' will be surely bagged by Rishi Kapoor !!!









It seems like this year belongs to all Kapoors N Kapoors only...It started with Ranbir Kapoor (Barfi), then Arjun Kapoor (Aurangzeb), Sonam Kapoor (Raanjhanaa), Shraddha Kapoor (Aashiqui-2) and now Vaani Kapoor (Shuddh Desi Romance).

Your brain might bring images of Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake from "Friends With Benefits" while watching 'SDR' but the "Kabhi Idhar Kabhi Udhar" formula used in this movie easily separates it from 'FWB'.

The way 'Raghuram Shriram' and 'Gayatri' are confused throughout the movie (let's exclude 'Tara'...not because I have a soft-corner for her ;) but only because she takes a firm decision @ one point in the movie), the climax also leaves the audience in a bewildered state about what exactly the Director wanted to convey. This movie doesn't work on the pre-defined patterns and that may be the reason of that hatke 'The End' of this movie is what my small brain can say at the most.

If the common man/woman amongst you is deciding to watch this movie just by going on its name, then let me caution you (soon would-be victims), do not 'ASSUME'. There is nothing 'Shuddh' in the movie nor 'Desi'. The only word from the title which justifies the movie is 'Romance'....so if you have lost this from your life and love to see on-screen then please march ahead my brave soldiers...and thy god shall save you !!!

"Unstoppable Changes" Which Change You !!!

Sometimes U open up too much with Ppl around U and that's when they start taking U for granted...Ur frank approach may be taken in some undesirable way...

@1 point, U may b the source of a smile to sm1...and @ another juncture, U see urself as a cause of fading smile on somebody's face...an irksome reason for sm1 when U try to be as U were....

U may just do anything to bring a smile on their faces but @ d sem time, U may get hurt by the same Ppl..... U may 4give once...twice...but not again n again....

Their direct words may not come to hurt U but the gradual change in their approach towards U says it all....U may ask why things are getting changed as U never wanted so to happen...but all U get to hear is 'All Is Well'....

U may sense the 10sn in that relationship and try to firmly hold on to it b4 it slips away from ur hands but under the chants of "All Is Well"...

U are just stranded to see Ppl going away from U....or may be U dragged away from them....

U keep on apologizing for an unknown reason and try to know what went wrong....but seldom U get the actual facts to know.....

U try to hide ur anger and frustration but it finally takes a toll on U....but still U just keep quiet as U never wanted to complicate things and insult sm1 which is the easiest option available to react in such a situation...neither do U want to open up to the person hurting/ignoring U again as U did it few times in the past but things never changed in a +ve way.

In such a situation, one just feels like "Goli Maar Bhejeme, Ke Bheja Shor Karta Hai..."....

That's why I am thankful to FB which is my 1st love..always ready to listen to me....wud never change (unless Mark decides so)...the coolest part is that most of the readers doesn't get what U say and only U urself know that U have vented out everything.........and finally slept peacefully ;)

I Love U My Darling Facebook....Muuuaaaaahhhhhhhhh !!!! :)

A Truely Refreshing Cafe = 'Madras Cafe'

After D-Day (except the climax), watched yet another movie based on a real-life incident....few scenes especially the blast scene of our Ex PM and the opening scene of the movie are damn realistic and will surely blow you out of ur seats...

I just hope that 'Madras Cafe'....a well narrated story shouldn't get ignored due to the superfluous importance given to 'Chennai Express'.

This movie is surely meant for 'Classes' and a must watch for 'Real to Reel' movie lovers.

The same city name is used for 2 movies but one (Chennai Express) is a parody of it and another (Madras Cafe) is a reality based cinema...but the saddest part is people are mad behind the parody and m sure that madness won't be shown even 50% for Madras Cafe....

So the bottom line is: 
Irrespective of the industry, the more hard-work you put in...the more extraordinary you try to be....the more adventurous path you opt but the success always goes to the one who opts for the easy way out with pinch of efforts and by showing more dependency on showy business and mouth publicity.

A humble request from me, keep aside 'Chennai Express' for a moment and do watch 'Madras Cafe' with all ur senses alive and bring a small smile on Soojit Sircar's face too for this commendable efforts and courage shown by him.

(I wonder how Congress didn't utter a single word over this movie !!!)

"Ethnic Wear"...Twice in 3 days ???

Hi All,

You all must have read mailers about Ethnic wear on 13th and 15th August. The reason being 'Independence Day'.

I wonder what may be the reason of such sudden extreme partiotism for arranging it twice within a span of 3 days.

(*Kindly do not start a thread about showcasing your own patriotism as I did not intend to hurt anybody's feelings*).

I have never seen 'Independence Day' celebrated (Ethnic wear for I.Day) twice in the past in our organization.

So any wild guesses about why ethnic wear was scheduled on 13th Aug too (apart from our regular 15th Aug) ???

The funniest part was DJ Nite scheduled @ Ph-1 on the same day (Yesterday - 13th Aug).

Few did not comply to the dress code of ethnic wear (as usual). Those who came, I doubt whether they were able to dance in Sarees and other traditional outfits :)

As per me, 'Tuesdays' are never meant for DJ Nites as we all are habituated for those usual 'Fridays'...where we all are in our 'Best-possible Awtaars/Make-overs' ;)

And ofcourse the weekend fever adds more spice to our 'Dancing Abilities' forcing the hidden MJs and Prabhu Devas to come out with their wackiest moves !!!

Let's hope that DJ Nite trend will continue (as it was one of the severly affected areas of 'Cost-cutting') but only on 'Fridays' and not on odd days and that too certainly not in traditional outfits where people would be more concerned about their 'Wardrobe Malfunction' than their dancing interests :)

" Dhonitized (11th July Final of Celkon Cup) !!! "

Dhoni (45*of 52) showed yet again what a gr8 finisher he is by compiling the last 21 runs needed with only Ishant Sharma to play with...not to 4get his hamstring injury as he didn't seem fully fit.

India needed 15 runs in the last over....MSD on strike......Eranga runs in hard...bowls a dot delivery to begin with raising hopes of Sri Lanka...but that was the last 'Raised hopes' for them as next balls were 6, 4, 6 and India wins by 1 Wicket sparing 2 balls.The only difference of this final was that this time it wasn't Kulshekhara to get hit a winning Sixer but was Eranga who started well but Mahi spoiled his party.

Rangana Herath with his 4/20 was a master stroke from the Sri Lankans...which was almost supported by Ishant Sharma by giving 2 missed chances of run-out agitating Dhoni who was as usual playing sensibly and seeing the victory in sight when the viewers didn't seeing Ishant on crease :)

Anyways, back to back series win for India when it all started on a -ve note will surely hearten us.

(Now Sir Jadeja is just 10 wickets away of claiming 100 wickets in ODIs.)

I assume such horrifying final matches can be the only next thing that raises our Blood-pressure after Girl Friends ;-)

Hatke Movie Series Continues With "Akaash Vani" & "Thanks Maa" !!!

Weekend begins with 2 back to back movies... "Akaash Vani" & "Thanks Maa"....

Sometimes U need to create 'Multiplex' @ Ur home itself without hoping anybody's company to watch something which U eagerly waited for.

After "Pyar Ka Punchnama", Luv Ranjan with his Spicy N Comic touch presents a different Love Story. 

Kartik and Nushrat carry forward their perfect chemistry in Akaash Vani.
 

The movie speaks about 'Inter-caste Marriage' as well as about Arrange Marriage. Sometimes kids sacrifice their love for the love towards their parents as all the current generation is not filled entirely with brats. 

Meanwhile after an Arranged marriage, Parents enjoy their triumph while moving in the 'White- collar Society'. 

Later they 'may' realize that their decision was wrong and that they played with the life of their kids by worshipping their orthodox thinking and age-old wrongly followed so-called culture. 

Their kids also realize that life is not meant for only 'Adjustments & Sufferings' and to live it suffocatingly for ourselves and for others. Life is not meant for losing the best gift called 'Love' when it is right in front of us but sacrificing it for the fear of Dabba society. 

The same orthodox thinking for which many social-reformers laid down their entire life to abolish them from the society. They succeeded in their era but they never knew that it was a mere temporary change. Once they bid farewell to this World....they never knew that we humans one day will again bring back all those ill-practices in the society and publically insult those efforts of people who meant a beautiful 'Humanly' World for today's Human Beings. 

This is what the movy tells U. Few may agree and few may not but I certainly loved the concept and I am already a die hard fan of 'Luv'...I mean Luv Ranjan and his team ;)

The 2nd surprise package was "Thanks Maa" released in 2008 which was not a pre-decided one but it certainly didn't disappoint me. Irfan Kamal's directorial debut creates a real 'Kamaal' on screen.

 
We may find shades of Slumdog Millionaire, Traffic Signal, Chillar Party in this movie but this movie has multiple messages for its audience.

All the 5 kids in the movie are amazing and that's why it bagged the "Best Child Artist" National Award in 2008.

The current crop of realistic cinema is really very refreshing than the glamsham dolls and fake xxx Crore targeted movies.

Plzzzzzzzzz.....don't miss these 2 movies if sm1 has still not seen them :)
