SadakChhap #AK49

One person keeps calm when his rally was bombed by terrorists. Other cries all day when inked !!!
One man keeps patience & ignores the Media that ran a 12 year long Hate campaign. Other cries foul & tag them paid, even if media criticizes for 15 mins, warn them all to put in jail !!!
One man ignores his opponent for calling him Agent, Dalal, Murderer and Whatever not, without any proof, Concentrates on his work. Other retaliates in No times, if someone shows him a mirror.
Leadership is about your qualities, & not about others fault !!

You have to throw a stone, if the dog doesn't stop barking. Else he considers himself a Lion roaring in Jungle.
 
#NaMo very elegantly ignored SadakChhaap campaign of Kejriwal. He called NaMo an Ambani Agent, Dalal, Murderer. Accused that Modi hired Goondas to hit him, Modi sold Gujarat to Adani, and Modi is in Ambani's pocket..& many more lies with 0 proof !!! 
But he was going out of controlled.. is Kejriwal mentally unsable? Which Politician talk like this?
Look at some of his Quotes from Varanasi Rally (Rally? precisely Drama)

Media people talk about stability.
Who wants stability? "We don't want stability"

Men hired by Modi threw black ink at me.

If you vote Modi, small scale industries will be shut
If you vote for Modi then prices will increase four times.

I know why Modi did not reply to my letter.
BJP, Cong are both with the Mukesh Ambani

Mukesh Ambani nai hua samvidhaan ho gaya desh ka

I challenge Modiji to an open debate here in this ground.
If he doesn't come, then understand, daal mey kuch kaala hai

Ready to accept the challenge to contest against Narendra Modi in Varanasi

Take 1 month's leave from work, come to Varanasi & Amethi.
 The way God has started using the broom,want u all also 2 start using it

If you vote for #NarendraModi, you will be forced to commit suicide

AAP Varanasi Rally: Kejriwal's speech is like a "Sadak-chhap Neta" who neither has any vision nor any policy to offer to people.

Few Battery Saving Tips !!!

Many of the features available on Android devices can cause batteries to become drained very quickly. Because of this, users of Android devices must intelligently and proactively manage the energy in their batteries.

1) Switch off Wifi scanning (this is a feature to scan for Wifi even if the the wifi is off)
2) Don't use auto brightness, use manual instead. Screen brightness set manually as per requirement & not on auto.
3) Toggle between 2G/3G as per requirement, especially considering 3G reception is still not great in India. Switch to 3G/2G if you are not using LTE network. Keep it manual !!!
4) Turn on locations(GPS) only when required.
5) Vibrate on keypress also switched off.
6) Refrain from using Live wallpapers. They eat-up huge amount of power !
7) Keep Widget usage to a minimum & keep as few home screens as possible. Mostly 2/3 Home Screens are sufficient !
8) Manually update apps switch off auto-updates as constant search for updates online does drain battery.
9) Set the Screen Time-out properly.
10) Kill all apps that you don't want running in the background.
11) Turn Off Google Now if not required.
12) Bluetooth,GPS, Wi-fi,NFC & other wireless features switched off when not required.

More than WikiLeaks, Gujarat Congress Leaders went Gaga over NaMo !!!

• Modi provided a glowing overview of his accomplishments in office, including better roads, universal access to electric power, greater availability of water, burgeoning direct investment, and rapid economic growth.
   
• Other Gujarat observers claimed Modi aspires to a national BJP leadership role, and ironically, these aspirations may motivate him to assure there are no further communal disturbances in Gujarat.
   
• The economy is clearly booming, and Consulate General Mumbai notices in particular the significant number of American investors interested in Gujarat, and the continuing flow of Gujarati business people to the U.S. Consul General noted that we intend to send a consulate representative to the "Vibrant Gujarat" foreign investment conference to be held in Ahmedabad in January 2007.
   
•  Rajkot Congress party leader Manoharsinh Jadeja said "Modi's accomplishments are undeniable," and admitted that the Congress would make little headway against the BJP in Gujarat anytime soon. Modi is extremely popular, Jadeja said, and even Muslims are now supporting him to some extent because he is viewed as someone who is completely incorruptible and can deliver the goods. Consul General asked if Modi could become a national BJP leader, and Jadeja said he hoped so because as long as he was the CM in Gujarat, Congress would face a tough challenge.
   
• Consul General met at length with longtime former Congress party MP and former Minister of Environment Yuraj Digvijay Sinhji. Asked whether Modi could become a national leader, Sinhji (himself the scion of the princely Wankaner family and a Cambridge grad) sniffed that Modi "lacks the polish and refinement" to become a national leader. But Sinhji raised another reason why Modi could face challenges in becoming a national leader: Modi's reputation for being completely incorruptible is accurate, and if he were to become a national leader he would crack down on corruption throughout the BJP. There are too many BJP rank and file waiting to line their pockets once the BJP returns to power, Sinhji said, and the prospect of Modi cracking the whip on corruption is entirely unappealing to this crowd. Modi would have a hard time clearing this hurdle, according to Sinhji.

• Sinhji raised an interesting point on communal harmony in Gujarat. The fact that Modi clearly has aspirations for national leadership makes him, ironically, one of the greatest protectors of communal harmony at this stage. He expected communal harmony to improve as the GOG keeps a careful eye out to ensure there are no further provocations or violence.

• Consul General acknowledged progress in many areas, but queried the CM on communal relations in general, and efforts to hold accountable those officials responsible for the violence of 2002 in particular.

Gujarat was shinning till 2012 .. now it has become Afganistan???

Arvind Kejriwal was unable of find an atom of development in Gujarat & accused CM Narendra Modi responsible for this situation.
But, Until 2012, leaders of his own party were praising NaMo and were unable to find an atom of flaw?
What happened in 2 years?

Some may call it Politics, we call is Opportunism.
 
Gul Panag (AAP LS Candidate from Chandigarh) tweeted this in 2012:

NaMo for PM.
— Gul Panag (@GulPanag) June 1, 2012

Source: Twitter

In 2012, after her study tour of Gujarat, Meera Sanyal (AAP's LokSabha Candidate) went GaGa over Modi's Gujarat Model. She praised about the Roads Connectivity, BRTS, 24X7 Electricity in Villages, Boom after Earth Quake, Govt's market policies, and IT hub.

Source: Twitter (Click on Image to enlarge it)

Meera defended herself, that her earlier tweets and blogs in praise of Gujarat hailed the common people of the state as well as individual initiatives and were in no way indicative of the quality of governance.
In other words, Ms. Sanyal, are you saying that Governments play no part in the development of a state or country? Without the help of Government, people in Gujarat just organized by themselves and were able to accomplish this? Are you trying to say that Gujaratis are unique, in that respect in the world? Will you go to any length to try and say that the Modi Government played no part in it? Common people of other parts of India are Lazy & useless, since they are unable to get the same success? Does that even make any sense, from a common sense point of view?  

Watch Yogendra Yadav acknowledging Gujarat model before joining AAP 

Video Source - CNBC-TV18

Ever since AAP has started playing the B-team of the Congress, it has turned up the tirade against the Narendra Modi-led BJP Government in Gujarat and its various initiatives to develop rural life in the State. In fact, Yogendra Yadav himself had once acknowledged the good work done in the State and had said that people in the State have benefited from the various initiatives of the State Government. However, now they have gone on a witch hunt to disprove what they said earlier. This is not the only case. Earlier Meera Sanyal, AAP member and a candidate for the Lok Sabha poll from South Mumbai Constituency, had also tweeted saying Narendra Modi’s initiatives in Gujarat are amazing and transforming lives.

Kejriwal Stunt

One of my post on Twitter which went viral...
It's re-tweeted ~500 times ... through various posts of mine...

#KejriwalStunt Here comes the list of stunts #AAP may try next-> Beware BJP & @narendramodi  #AAPDrama never ends -> pic.twitter.com/M1oQTG3q57
— Rahul Sarkar (@rahul007sarkar) March 8, 2014

Give me some chanda, give me some fame... Bring me to power, wanna fool you once again

Constitutional governance is not AAP’s cup of tea #GambleCrumbles

A man who can only think of locking people up in jail, as the way of combating corruption, is a sadist, not a reformer, certainly not a change maker! He has ZERO vision for Development !!! Were there no other issues for Delhi Govt other than Lokpal?
Fact is even if AAP gets a full majority or 2/3 majority, it will still require the permission of Delhi LG, constitutionally. Delhi is not a State yet, its an UT.
Remember President Abdul Kalam once returned a bill of NDA Govt? PM Atal Bihari didn't resign...
Arvind kejriwal needs TV Camera for his every action, Does stunts like list of most corrupt politicians & presents no proof. CM leads Dharna & after 48 hrs settles for Long leave of Police officers rather than suspension/transfer.
He announced many freebies, many populist schemes & some special discounts for his supports (None implemented).
And then came height of Hypocrisy..
Arvind Kejriwal first accepted 2 huge bungalows in posh society of Delhi, & later rejected it claiming he is against VIP culture. Later Zee News exposed the letter of Kejriwal where he himself demanded for those 2 VIP Bungalows.
He even supported Somanth Bharti's Worst Spammer / porn websites case in Assembly.
Now APPtards are shouting on TV: Sheila haari .. Ab Modi ki baari...
This shows that this total drama was scripted to get rid of this alliance with Congress before 2014 elections & set the stage for Loksabha elections, get sympathy votes by portraying Kejriwal a Martyr (Shaheed)

Gujarat governor, elected by center's UPA Govt, Blocked every Bill of NaMo, he fought for 12 years & won. Never Ran away like #BhagodaKejri. (This hashtag is trending on twitter...)
We not only need honest leadership, but also capable.

He ran away from : 1. Tata Steel 2. IRS 3. India Against Corruption and now from CM post....

Chetan Bhagat quotes: Someone's resigning at 8pm I hear. Prime time. Kya hua, tera vaada. Voh kasam, voh iraada.. It feels like someone just quit at the Rs5,000 question in KBC, without using any lifeline.
Kiran Bedi quotes: Did CM delhi resign for Lokpal or LokSabha? Because he is keeping Lokpal issue alive even when it is good law! He does not tell people this! Real challenge is how does an aam admi understand that it is not Lokpal but Delhi Lokayukt that was needed which Delhi Govt did not peruse! Lokpal is already a National Act!Delhi Govt could move to amend the Delhi Lokayukta to make it Effective with Due Process! (If It Wants?)

And at last this very interesting post from Guruprasad:

So Now its time to decide what does India want?

Dangerous populism or fresh culture of freebies !!!

Less than 48 hours since AAP took charge in Delhi and they have already delivered on their biggest poll promise ‪#‎FreeWaterForDelhi‬

Really???
700 litres of water to every household in Delhi with "meters". What about those lakhs who don't have one?
What about people who get water via tankers..do they not need water?
Actually they need it more !!! meter wale can obviously afford it !!!
Hope he gonna do something for them as well, in coming days..

Also if a big joint family consumes 701 litres, they won't get any free water...they need to pay for entire amount consumed if they go above free level. Did he mention terms & conditions during campaign???

What I don't like about AAP is the unplanned haste in which this decision is taken. Looks more populist rather than a well planned policy....dangerous populism or fresh culture of freebies !!!

BTW few months back a younger CM distributed free Laptops which were re-sold by the beneficiaries ...

Wouldn't it have been more logical to fix corruption 1st, & then reduce cost by passing benefits to consumer?

What I like about Modi is ...
Modi hasn't taken the easy route, promising free water or power in his rallies. His only promise is development, governance and jobs, which he has delivered in Gujarat already !!!

Why Media love AAP & endorse it actively?

Manohar Parrikar is the first IITian (IIT Bombay) to be CM of an Indian state (Goa)...
Only CM who has refused any personal security & mostly travel in two wheeler...
He even won CNN-IBN Indian of the Year in politics category....
Manohar Parrikar adopted 2 villages in Uttarakhand for rehab.
He encouraged Goa BJP to donate salary to start with...
This won't be headlines in media, as its BJP and not AAP...

Recently an RTI activist was abducted from Noida on December 13, burnt with cigarette butts on his private parts, tortured for many days and beaten with iron rods before being dumped near a petrol pump in a neighbouring district four days later. A medical report of the government hospital notes Anoop Singh, 29, has 40 burn injuries all over his body, including on his face, thighs, legs and private parts. His crime was, he exposed many corruption cases in Western UP.
Now this will never become a CNN IBN headline, you know why?

Anoop is the vice-president of the Dankaur unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In the past, he has filed several Right to Information (RTI) applications, mostly regarding infrastructure projects, which have earned him the reputation of being a whistleblower in his area.

Anything related to AAP becomes news, like:
-> Arvind Kejriwal refused Personal security...
-> Arvind Kejriwal have no new cloths & wear very simple cloths..
-> Arvind Kejriwal was an IITian, Income Tax officer ....

Some how the Indian Media seems like too much fascinated towards Arvind Kejriwal & Aam Aadmi Party.
You can see NDTV reporter, Barkha Dutt & CNN reporters Rajdeep Sardesai, Ashutosh and Sagarika Ghose openly endorsing or propping up AAP Party on national television.
This brigade is popularly known for their hatred for Modi and the right wing. Their hate campaign against Modi for 12 long years with no evidence, proved their hidden agenda.

Suggestion: Never opt for HDFC Home Loans !!!

My Experience:
File No. 610142188
The initial Loan Approval process is very quick in HDFC. They take your money as processing fees and after that the real nightmare starts. This bank seems to be very very fast and too friendly at the time of loan processing, but once the loan is done, the life seems to be hell for most of the people . They are not very supportive most of the times and one gets too frustrated with their attitude.

Their disbursement process continues for weeks & months. There are cases, where two customers applied for loan on same date for similar property, but one got the disbursement in 2 weeks & other still waiting for 2 months. It carries the hangover of Sarkari culture & includes a lot of paper work & lengthy approval procedure.

They may reject your loan without reciting any reason & may not respond, if you ask for refund of processing fees.

Their inexperienced sales executives try to convince you that your Loan/Disbursement is under progress, but you will find they are lying most of the time and no one is actually interested in moving your file ahead.

They are very good in selling insurance policies along with the loan & somehow always convince to opt it, required or not.

Better Options:

Many online surveys prove that SBI bank is the best bank for home loan. We have seen most of the votes going to SBI Bank and all the pointers are suggesting that its a right choice.

1. SBI Bank (lowest ROI, smooth, transparent process )
2. LIC Housing (lesser documentation requirements)
3. Axis / ICICI / IDBI (fast and friendly)

Some more Reviews found on Social Networking sites:

I moved my loan from LIC Delhi assuming HDFC will be a better option. Though rates were lower in SBI , I still chose HDFC assuming we will get good service. I must say that in 5 months I have come across Poor customer service. Wrong commitments on time to sanction, time to disburse, paper work involved. And now making me do multiple rounds to the branch .... telling me you pay .25% fees to reduce loan rates for less than 30 lacs. Now when I paid the fees after a week they call me and tell me that the rates cant be lowered because sale deed is not signed. Wake up HDFC ... I feel like a trapped customer. I am seriously thinking SBI would have been better. Feel ashamed to deal with the No 1 retail lender... treats it customers like dirt...

-Anuj Sethi (from New Delhi)

Home Loan Application 610258177
Really disappointed with your services.
It took around 25 days to reject my home loan application and that too in a very UN-professional manner.The rejection happened just after I inquired about the status of my home in your head office and had a hot discussion.No specific reason was mentioned in the rejection loan!!.
I want to know on what grounds my loan application has been rejected anyway I am planning to legal for the same hence quite sure that you guys need to respond..ONCE AGAIN VERY UN PROFESSIONAL COMPANY! 

-Vikas Jain (from Mumbai)

 

Why won't I vote for AAP in Delhi Election???

1. Hypothetical unrealistic promises, exaggerated and unimplementable manifesto. Now scared to form a government (Though they are getting unconditional support from other parties). Does not want to sit in a position of responsibility where it has to walk its talk.Remember, with great power comes greater responsibility.

2. They didn't fought University elections, panchayat elections or municipality elections, directly assembly elections. No leadership experience, India already suffering due to weak leadership for last 10 years...

3. Only one man party. Majority of people voted for Arvind Kejriwal & expect him to solve all his problems. When TV reporters asked the name of the person who is contesting from the assembly seat, majority didn't know name of AAP candidates (Except Sazia Ilmi). In democracy a state or country can't be run by a single person.

4. Except their media spokespersons & lawyers, most of their ground leaders are not only inexperienced but also very low educated (10 passed or below), huge junk is unemployed & claim they left job to join AAP & many are dependent on parents or spouse for income. So these leaders gonna rule us in 21st Century?

5. Arrogant mentality "Only I am clean, only we are honest, rest all are thieves/corrupt !!!" Also "Congress BJP same, should join hands to form government".
Arvind Kejriwal says all Income Tax inspectors and IAS officials are corrupt. In the same system people like Ashok Khemka, Durga Shakti Nagpal and many more officers are trying to clean the system from within.

6. More parties means more coalition governments, which are weak & corrupt. Better National parties are forced to follow correct path.Strongly against regional or state parties, those doesn't have a national prospective.

7. Seeking support from Fatwa fame riote accused Maulana Tauquir Raza Khan, along with claiming high moral grounds. Same Minority Appeasement policies like Congress. Wearing Skull cap like SP (Akhilesh Yadav) to seek votes.

8. AAP leaders still propagating Batla house encounter as Fake, though Supreme Court found it genuine & declared the accussed were terrorists. Many leaders (Prashant Bhushan & Manish Sisodia) of AAP gave anti-national statements on Kashmir, Indian Army and Terrorism.
In one hand Arvind claims all AAP leaders are common citizens tired to corruption & ill-governance & on other hand main stream AAP Leader ( Dr. Kumar Biswas) says he doesn't travel without a Business class flight ticket. 

9. Many stings/complaints exposed their leader and funds. AAP's internal Lokpal took no time to give them-self clean-chit. Like any other party claiming its politically motivated, so daaam different ?

10. Why has Aam Aadmi Party given tickets to rejected workers of BJP and Congress in Delhi?

11. Joining AAP is like Ganga-snan. Whatever be your background (corrupt/criminal/communal) once you join AAP, you will be given a good character certificate. Soon after winning elections, AAP leaders started wearing "Main hoon Vidhayak (I am the MLA)" caps, instead of their traditional "Main hoon Aam Aadmi (I am the Common Man) " caps,  clearing showing their real side. Not only that they started goonda
gardi, in name of celebrations (FIRs already filed !).

Historically, anybody with such a quick surge in power (Laloo Prasad Yadav or Mulayam Singh) has rarely delivered. But then again, historically, nobody has managed to make neta topi and jhadu seem like a cool idea. So, will take some more time to make my final opinion about AAP.

Lootera:: Movie Review:: A Classic Tale, which may bring tears !!! (5/5)

Lootera is a beautiful, heart-warming, and quite love saga of Pakhi (Sonakshi) and Varun (Ranveer Singh), based in early 1950's, which begins in Manikpur, West Bengal.


You may feel the movie is bit slow, but a movie like this doesn't require pace, it just require correct emotions. And Lootera is filled with moments of glorious emotions. Emotions of deceit, betrayal, passion, honour and love. You feel loved, when love blossoms between Pakhi and Varun. Water comes out of your eyes when Varun breaks Pakhi's heart, when Pakhi suffers from TB. You move to tears, when she waits for the end of life and starts believing that the day the last leaf of tree falls, she too would pass away. You feel blessed when destiny bring them together. You start believing in true love by the end of the story.

Sonakshi Sinha plays an intensely heart-wrenching character, to perfection. You can easily say, she is one of the finest female actors of our generation. She looks beautiful potraying the traditional Bengali girl of 1950's and her size is just irrelevant here. Her grace, dialogues, top notch acting and sense of emotions is the actual hero of this film.

Ranveer plays the title role 'the Lootera'. He plays the street-smart con here, who cheats Pakhi and her Landlord father. At this young age, with an acting experience of just 3 years he plays this complicated role with absolute perfection.

Every frame of this film is picture perfect. Vikramaditya Motwane's style of story telling is impressive and he has kept the accurate amount of thrill in a slow romance. The director takes us to 50's effortlessly. With a beautiful story penned with utmost sensitivity and crafted delicately, this film looks like a beautiful painting on celluloid!

All the songs gels well with story. The Background store is just amazing. Thumbs up for Amit Trivedi's Melodious songs, you start humming them instantly.
Supporting cast Vikrant Massey, Adil Hussain, Barun Chanda has done a tremendous job as well.
The chemistry between Ranveer and Sonakshi is scorching !!!
Team Lootera ...Take a BOW !!!

Precaution: Don't go with your friends with extra sense of humor, else you may want to punch them, when they laughs or cracks a joke when someone is dying(though in fiction). Also  if you are not a fan to slow romance avoid it, you may find it boring !!!

Rating: 10 on 10

Movie Review:: Gippi:: Big yippee for Gippi (3.5/5)

What's Great: A simple movie which has everything in it ... romance, drama, comedy, embarrassment, many real vulnerable moments teenagers face and a sad heartbreak. Its a funny-teen-masala movie as it touches all the elements of a teenager's life like 'dancing madly when no one is watching you', 'tension between parents', 'a typical mean over-ambitious classmate who's actually good in everything', 'first crush, attraction and heartbreak', 'importance of your family and best friends', 'inferiority or superiority complex' and 'adolescence and adulthood'.

What's Good: Some fab young actors. Simple script. Little dramatic end.

The movie talks about issues such as adolescence, homosexuality and menstruation without a blush.

Many well-written scenes where we see Gippi going through situations that help her grow up. The casting is appropriate,  14 yr old Riya Vij plays the vulnerable yet believable Gippi perfectly. All the other young actors are superb like Gippi's brother, her best friend Anchal and the vamp Shamira. You will definitely love the scenes in second half when the good for nothing Gippi takes on the all-rounder Shamira!!!

The film gives out a bigger message of being your own self and not trying too hard to be like someone else, let the world love you for what you are. That's the main mantra of Happiness !!!

You must watch it once and you will surely love the simplicity and sweetness

Rating : 3.5/5

Movie Review:: Bombay Talkies:: An Average Cocktail (2.5/5)

“Bombay Talkies” is an cocktail of four short films from directors: Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar.

Karan's film stars Rani Mukherji, Randeep Hooda and Saqib Saleem. Its a Adult thriller which revolves around homosexuality. All the actors are spectacular in this part. Though the script is hold tight with superb screenplay, it ends with a climax which lacks luster. This half an hour movie is Karan's best work compared to his 3.5 hrs long movies.

Dibakar Banerjee’s film starring  Nawazuddin Siddiqui is quite confusing and not well translated on screen.

Zoya's film has the most relevant story of a kid struggling between his dream and parents.

Anurag Kashyap's story is most interesting and well directed which revoles around Bachchan Mania. The story is about a Bachchan fan who wants to feed him Murabba, is unique and sharp.

The film being independent works of multiple directors suffers from one major flaw, there is no common link and relevance to the larger picture, Bombay Talkies, which celebrates 100 years of Cinema.
The item song at end with huge list of stars is easily forgettable and has zero effect on audience.

Its a different concept and interesting in parts.

Movie Review:: Aashiqui 2 :: Shines with loads of non-eww romance :: 3.5/5

Cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Shraddha Kapoor (4/5)

Aditya Roy Kapur is the killer substance of this film and scores absolutely in the mushy scenes. He not only manages to impress with his selfless-hopeless romantic side, he also delivers brilliantly while portraying the Self-destruction and alcoholic phase.

Shraddha Kapoor's innocent face does half the work for her and acting wise not a let down. She maintains her charm & poise through out. Her b'ful melted eyes every-time makes you believe in the rare devotion, she has for her alcoholic lover...

The awesome chemistry between Aditya and Shraddha manages to create a feel of fluttering butterflies-in-your-stomach.

Director: Mohit Suri (3/5)

Story is predictable and ends on a sad note (which I always dislike as I love happy ending love stories..). Script falls after interval, loses all its energy  and romance, and also ends with anti-climax. 

Some scenes like hilarious journalist in second half, were really unnecessary. The Director invested too much into the actors and their romance, passion and pain, but didn't take the story much further. A good screenplay could have done wonders for the movie.

It was a good brave attempt and he never lost his control over the drama, which could have made it a melodrama. He cleverly avoided over-the-top romantic scenes, unnecessary skin show and lust.

Music: (4.5/5)

This movie is musically brillient and Nadeem Shravan's best work till date. Arijit Singh's 'Tum hi ho..', Shreya's 'Sun raha hai na...', and Tusli Kumar's 'Hum maar jayenge' all were awesome and they worked really well within the context of the film. 

The film has a lovely flow (except for the abrupt last 10 minutes) despite being 15-20 minutes longer than I would have liked it.
Every moment when Aditya and Shraddha look into each others eyes, you tend to believe unconditional love, selfless love, true love still exists !!!
Though flawed, it manages to reach out to your heart, wholeheartedly....

Overdose of Crime Shows on Indian Television

Crime Shows have turned into Entertainment, rather then Awareness and Information.

Movie Review:: Talaash:: 4/5:: Brainy Thriller ends with Superb Climax

Movie: Aamir never disappoints viewers. One of the most Honest movie of 2012, where neither the director nor actors try to fool the audiences with masala or gimmicks. You simply get involved into the Suspense Drama, and tend to disbelieve the climax that you may have heard before.

This Story is about a police officer who is trying to investigate a High profile case, his troubled wife and a terrific hooker. I won't tell you more, as I want you to watch it and love it more :)

Direction: Reema Kagti's script unfolds very beautifully and viewer gets all the answers, making the climax very satisfying. The narrative is slow and dark, and intended, as it helps to unleash the complex screenplay smoothly. Reema knows very well what to unveil when, keeping the audiences  amazed. All the Characters and their emotions seems real and you can easily identify with them.

Acting: The movie revolves around Aamir Khan, and his brilliant acting creates a big impact. Though Rani Mukherjee has a smaller role in Talaash, but her character looks way more compelling and admirable then her previous sleazy movie. This one is Kareena's one of the few realistic performance that does proper justification to the plot. Nawazuddin Siddiqui excels into a superbly written character of 'Taimur'.

Music: Ram Sampath's Music and Javed Akhtar's Lyrics supports the flavor of the story rather then puncturing it. The soothing song like 'Jiya Lage na' and 'Muskaan Jhooti hai' surely enhances viewer's experience and engages you more into it.

What's Awesome: Unpredictable story, a very different approach then the usual Bollywood thrillers, where every plot shouts from the roof top, that its a 'Thriller movie'. Here the script, direction, acting, music, everything remains calm raising the curiosity of the viewer. The end is questionable, but Logical. Last bot not the least, Aamir Khan.. He is again unbelievably good ... portrayal of the role of a cop is so natural that you can't take off your eyes for a second !!!

What's Bad: Actually Nothing... The movie has no loopholes... You may not like the movie, as it has it specific audience. Also you need to take you brain with you to understand the depth of the movie..

Rating: You Can't Afford to Miss This One !!!!
4 /5

Movie Review:: Life of Pi:: 4.5/5:: Stunning Soulful Spellbound

I loved Avatar & thus went to watch 'Life of Pi'. Also because it has an Indian story with an international appeal.

Its all about a young man’s survival from a terrible ship wreck and a Royal Bengal Tiger during a storm in the Pacific Ocean.

Pi's  Life starts as a confused kid, because of his amusing name and his parents, who had very different perspective on religion and spirituality. While his father was an atheist, his mother (Tabu), was encouraging and endearing, gives him the freedom to choose his own path. Pi starts getting inclined towards spirituality and starts following three religions at the same time. As a kid, he always had numerous questions in his mind. He believed doubts keep a human alive.

While sailing from Southern India to Canada, his Ship got stuck in a disastrous storm, where he escapes only with few animals, after losing his complete family. The story revolves around how he struggles in mid of an ocean and the reaches an unexplored - magical - carnivorous island.

The Bengal tiger named 'Richard Parker' is height of digital imagery. His eyes, majestic walk, fur and the glorious roar makes it all the more believable then real.  
Soon you start identifying with Pi , with his faith, his courage, his pain and the problems he is dealing with. You start praising for his guts and gumption required to sale through this ordeal. And his deep trust on God. Its mesmerizing to watch  that how in the middle of the ocean would he find food and water, avoid turning into the tiger's meal. 

The relationship between Pi and tiger is a blend of fear, love, compassion and tolerance.  In the Second half, it's the relationship between a tiger and a boy and how they learn to get along that is heartwarming. The director has remarkable control on the Script and maintains a right balance of drama and brilliant visual effects as Pi's struggle unfolds on screen. 


Suraj Sharma who plays the teen age Pi, is utterly believable as the character and you feel for the boy stranded in the middle of the sea. Indeed a talented actor.  The supporting cast is awesome as well.

The movie is a visual masterpiece aided by fascinating story line, amazing affects & tight screenplay. It has many profound lines , moments which gives goose bump and makes you believe in all the wondrous things. Not a single element in movie looks fake and you travel through a beautiful dream of 2 hrs 15 min created by the director, Ang Lee.

Rating: 4.5/5, deducting 0.5 points as it ended very soon & I wanted to get more of it :)

Movie Review:: Jab Tak Hai Jaan:: Simply Delighted:: 3.5/5

Typical Yash Chopra movie !!! Watch it only if u have immense faith in Love and God... Jab Tak Hai Jaan leaves a soothing afterglow.

The theater was jam packed and there was lot of buzz around. All classy public unlike Salman's movie crowd.

Performances:

Shahrukh Khan: He is impressive in both the characters of charming musician lover-boy and heartless Army Officer. He ensures the character remains believable through out the movie.

Katrina: She acted really well compared to her previous movies. But her dance moves and beautiful cloths are more impressive. She plays the role of a British-Indian girl, who can do anything for love of her life. Due to her strong faith in God, she makes frequent promises to God before asking something... This brings the actual twist in the movie.

Anushka: It is to Anushka Sharma that Jab Tak Hai Jaan really belongs to. Turning in an infectiously energetic performance, she breathes life into the second half. Her acting and dancing skills are in perfect balance with her gorgeous looks. She plays a character of new generation who's 10-15 years younger than SRK and Katrina. Her bubly, careless hip-hop character is delight to watch.

Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh in an extended cameo make for a pleasant watch; and the scene where Neetu Singh meets Katrina is exceptionally moving.

Direction: The movie is 3hour too long. First half could have been more tighter. Story is simple and full of romance. Many scenes are flawless. The most touching scene is when Kat meets her mom Neetu Kapoor. This scene will definitely bring tears in your eyes. Shot in exotic foreign locations, JTHJ gives us a beautiful and larger than life picture. The screenplay has many flaws but the movie is emotionally manipulative and mostly watchable. Yah Chopra truly a Legend ...

Music: Songs like 'Saas aayi', 'Isqh sava' and 'Heer' has awesome background score and apt for an over the top romantic movie. Overall good but not great background music by AR Rehman. Gulzar's lyrics are average.

So watch out for the most awaited romantic saga of the year "Jab Tak Hai Jaan", to watch some good stuffs of acting, emotion, direction and music.

Rating:3.5/5 Extra points for Yashji ...  Four cheers for this one!****

Movie Review:: JISM 2:: PATHETIC (0.5 / 5)

Cast: Sunny Leone, Randeep Hooda, Arunoday Singh

Director: Pooja Bhatt

Length: 2.10 hours 

Performance:I don't know whom to start with... All were equally bad 

Sunny is cute, beautiful, sexy, hot anything but not an actress... She gave the same Asthma patient's expression through out the movie, and take deep breaths every now & then. She never came out of her Porn star image  for a fraction of second. She gave perfect expressions which were apt for a porn movie not for Bollywood. 

Arunoday got a terrible role to start with... He tried hard but was bound by this insane script..

Talented Hooda was instructed to match the acting skills of sunny. He was so damm terrible in some scenes that Sunny looked a better actor. He was hilarious in the role of a gangster cum patriot...  

Direction: Pooja Bhatt made a joke of herself. The script can be best described as sleeping pill. Only sex scenes were shot with heart... If she wanted to make a sex film she should have kept the length 20-30 minutes. That was quite enough !!!

 There was no sincerity in any department of movie making & Pooja Bhatt's below average direction  skills are fully exposed here.

What's Good: Sunny Leone's beautiful face & body, the last erotic scene...

What's Bad: Practically everything... Worst thing was the DIALOGUES !!! I never heard this kind of stupid hilarious dialogues in a serious movie ever, actually never in my entire life.. I guess the dumb actors wrote their own dialogues, due to shortage of time.

 Even the climax seemed stupid and you can’t help but draw comparisons with the first part of Jism. Kahaan woh film aur kahaan yeh!

Even the songs were dull...

Rating: 0.5/5

Big Zero for the  movie and 0.5 for Sunny.

Verdict : Watch Sunny on Internet, she looks  equally beautiful, more hotter & with lesser  cloths ;)

On the whole, Jism-2 is a huge disappointment.

Dee-Bhai, Amazing Sis-Bro Bond...

HAPPY RAKSHA-BANDHAN !!!

Movie Review:: COCKTAIL:: 2.5/5:: Sizzling Deepika

The day has finally arrived, when you can taste the much-awaited, sexy, tempting Cocktail. 


What's Good: The Girls !!!!
Veronica aka 'Deepika' and Meera aka 'Diana Penty' looked gorgeous through out the movie.

Deepika played the sexy, slutty, loose character hottie...
Without doubt, Deepika, not only looked like a dream, but also pitches in her career-best performance. She lets herself loose, surrenders to her character wholly and nails the performance.

While Diana played marriageable sweet, desi girl. It was a dream debut for her. 

Music is just 'WOW', its loud, foot tapping and peppy  and suits the look of Cocktail.

Performances: All are good !!!

Saif tried too hard to maintain his boyish charm, but the 40+ actor looked tired and bit too old for the character of a young Software Engineer and for the beautiful girls. My favorite scene was when Saif, in a bizarre female's attire, hopped and danced on the item number 'Sheila Ki Jawaani', until his mom (Dimple Kapadia) discovers him in such a frenzy and lunatic state.

Deepika slipped into the skin of gorgeous, wayward vamp Veronica...

One word that suits her character is CRAZY, a girl who is good just for one night stands.

She can pee in a moving car, can get cozy with every second guy, virginity is taboo for her, and most important  roaming around without wearing pants all the  time... She is the SHAMELESS SLUT..

In one word, Deepika is the show stealer.

Boman Irani & Dimple Kapadia were awesome in  their short roles and added perfect punches.

Whats Bad???? 
The movie picks pace after 20 odd minutes and loses it very soon after interval.
The second half is over-stretched and the screenplay could have been tighter. 
Saif's constant flirtatious habit is quite irritating and becomes overdose.


My Verdict: Watch it for the 'Rich Bitch - Wild Child' act of Deepika, charismatic performances of the 3some, harmonious music and the trendy look and styling of the movie.


Rating: 2.5 / 5

Movie Review:: BOL BACHCHAN :: 4.5/5 Awesome Performances

Whats Good???
- Abhishek Bachchan... 
Abhishek Bachchan performs equally good in both roles of his double role. His portrayal of the gay dancer is adorable.
- The rib tickling dialogues of Ajay, where he tries to translate everything in English
- Archana Puran Singh's Mind blowing fake mommy act. She elicits laughter from the audience, everytime she appears on screen. Archana Puran Singh has a very well written part and is aptly amusing.

- Rohit Shetty’s direction is tight as he holds the comedy through out, very well. There are solid punch one after the other. His best directorial venture after Golmaal 1. Good part is he doesn't complicate the comedy or make the narrative ambiguous.

- No pot-shots, no raunchy double meaning jokes, only pure comedy...

- Best thing about ‘Bol Bachchan’ is that there is nothing in it that is not predictable. But it still entertains you till the end.

- You can watch it with family , friends or special friends....

- Must watch for Archana Puran Singh’s act of Zohra & Abhishek Bachchan's awesome performance after a long time ...

Whats Bad???

Pretty much NOTHING :)

Verdict: Must Watch... It gives you genuine laughs !!!

Rating: 4.5/5

How to get Tatkal Tickets Confirmed !!!

Getting confirmed tatkal ticket from IRCTC site is like winning a gold medal. I have tried to get tatkal ticket hundreds of times but most of the time I was unable to get the tatkal ticket. And yes, I was always unfortunate at times when it was real emergency.

Reasons you don’t get a confirmed tatkal ticket-

1. You can use the tatkal booking only when its 8.00 am at the IRCTC but even if your computer time has 1 minute difference with that of IRCTC, it will be a big problem as most of the tatkal tickets are booked in the first 5 minutes only and if this is peak season all the tickets booked in minutes.
2. After 8 am you start filling the details like station name, booking date, selecting your train, then filling passenger form details etc and when you want to book it says no more confirmed ticket.
3. If you try to fill all the details before 8 am and wait and after 8 am you try to go to the next window then it says “session expired” and you need to login again.
4. And one of the main reason is many fields in IRCTC does not work (like filling typing station name and it does not popup the code) and it loads very slowly or page does not open etc.

Its really frustrating because there is no other option left if you miss this tatkal ticket. Flights tickets are really not affordable now a days.

Tips to get a confirmed tatkal ticket

Get Multiple IRCTC account

For this, you need to have at least 3 IRCTC accounts. Either you can create this or get the account of your friend and relative. You need to have different internet browser in your PC to open different account in different browser. You can install Internet Explorer (IE), Mozilla Firefox & Google Chrome.

You have to login to all different IRCTC account from different browsers. You can not login to different account in the same browser. So open one account in IE, one in Firefox & other in Chrome.

This is because if there is problem in one browser, you can immediately use another logged in account. This is confirmed that if you have problem in the booking process in one browser, it will work in other browser as per my experience.

Get Autofill On

Most of your time in the booking process goes in filling the passenger details form and saving here even 5 seconds can make a difference and where this Magic Autofill play the role. This is one of the best auto filling form developed by Amit Agarwal.

It’s a simple online tool that will fill the passenger details form on the IRCTC website with the click of a button thus giving you an upper hand.

So, Change your Browser setting and keep Autofill option enabled.

Get your details ready

This is very important as sometime you just forget the train details or sometime you get confuse which payment methods to choose when there is no time to think all these things. So just open a notepad, write all the details in advance like source train & destination train, credit card details or bank details with password. You have already filled the passenger details in the magic autofill and bookmarked the button.

Write every details in that notepad that you are going to fill in the booking process so that you just copy and paste that detail. It can save your at least 1 minute and here every second counts in tatkal ticket booking.

This way you can really increase your chances of booking a tatkal ticket. I have many times used this tip and more than 95% time I was successful in booking a tatkal ticket.
