Bollywood 2010 .. Glimpses...

The year 2010 has left but for movie lovers like me it wasn't a great year like the previous ones. I will try and bring out my personal fav movies.

Ishqiya: When we see Vishal Bharadwaj directing a movie with fantastic actors like Nasserudin, Arshad and Vidya Balan, the movie is bound to be a real good one. The script of Vishal for Ishqiya was little weak but he pulled it off with very good direction. Brilliant acting performances and situational music helped the movie score.

Udaan: A beautiful movie about degrading relationship between a father and a son. A well directed movie with a simple script and powerful performance. People who have missed this should really watch if they prefer a simple, slow movie with an impact.

Peepli Live: This movie directed by Anusha Rizvi was actually an effort to show the sufferings of farmers in our country. Very few directors can convey significant issues in a satirical canvass and Anusha was successful in that. The movie lacked editing and hasty climax couldn't provide the movie is much deserved accolade. Still a great effort by a first timer.  

Rakhta Charitra: Ram Gopal Verma back again with a compelling story. This movie like his previous ones portrays the connection between politics and crime. This movie revels in bloodshed but still a good effort and direction. Not many might agree with me. Vivek Oberoi gives a convincing performance.

Apart from these there were some movies which were partially good like Fas Gaye re Obama, Road Movie.

My views are completely personal and I will be happy to get a viewpoints on the movies mentioned above. 


Guzaarish: Sanjay Leela Bhansali with his sets and scripts shows why he is such an eccentric director. The movie was an intense story of a magician fighting for euthanasia. Hrithik came off with his best performance till date and Aishwarya also gave a tremendous performance. The movie was good but a hasty ending screwed the essence. Still better than many of the releases in 2010.

Confusing Belongingness !!!

Writing a blog again.. After a long time though coz of my hectic sched. for the past one month.  Amidst all the noises about one's origin and belongingness to a state or a city, I was contemplating about my roots. By origin I am a Palakkad Iyer, which is a Tamil community residing in north Malabar region of Kerala. So by virtue of that I speak a Tamil with a flavor of Malayalam words. So the food habits etc. are a confluence of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Kerala never objected to our belonging and never criticized our roots to Kerala. So I am related to Tamil Nadu & Kerala.  I was born in Jamshedpur, presently Jharkhand but was Bihar in 1984. So by that I belong to two more states. I was brought up in a small town Chakradharpur, an hour away frm Jamshedpur. Soon we shifted to Bilaspur, a town in Madhya Pradesh which is now part of Chattissgarh. So again I claim my belongingness to two more states. I did my Master's degree from Pune, MAHARASHTRA, did my internship in Bangalore, K

A Tryst that Made me Wonder !!!

When life is at its monotonous best, something unusual happens which takes you by surprise. Ok, not surprise but then such incidents make you wonder and ponder. On a usual day after the office, I and my roomie struggled to find a rick who would be kind enough to commute us to Goregaon from Andheri. And we were fortunate as we got one soon. As  the journey progressed the curious Auto guy spoke about the MNS issues etc. and he mentioned he was from South India rather Chennai. I started interacting in Tamil and then we came to know about his past and present which made us wonder. He came down to Mumbai when he was 16 years old and has been plying Auto-rickshaw since then. Looking at his present age he would have completed 40 years in this city. His eldest son works for Godrej (which I thought would be a menial job) but his salary is around 35k/month. His second son has set up a business and earns 40K/month and owns a Maruti Zen. His 3rd son is also working for some company after compl

Is Paradox a Transient State !!!

Hi This is my 1st blog... Will start with talking about something which really fascinates me. It is the word Paradox ! My buddies at Symbi would attest it. I use it frequently... Actually my gtalk message reads "Is Paradox a transient state". Well, no one gave me an apt answer. The reasons: It wouldn't have enticed anyone or some would have brushed it as a weird thought or some who thought were unable to observe the things existing around.... The dictionary defines it as " a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth." It says it all..... This is the reason behind me getting curious about Paradox... Ponder on the meaning which says "A POSSIBLE TRUTH" Now my question: "Is paradox a transient state ?" Well, the state of paradox is a state of imbalance.... According to nature, imbalance is never sustained. Then why we see paradox existing around us which are not momentary... You d
