KGF - A Film review


Well its not exactly a review.. It's more about my thoughts on the movie.. Anyway I guess people may be offended by this post considering how every person who has watched the movie has been going gaga over it.. Well my New Year resolution is to be honest, even at the cost of people's feelings.. So here's an 'honest' opinion about this film..

The cardinal rule while going to watch a 'masala'/blockbuster/super duper hit film is to leave your brains at home.. Because 'blockbusters' are seldom logical.. So while the protagonist, hereinafter referred to as the 'Hero' makes an appearance on screen and everyone's hooting, I'm still trying to get a good look at his face.. What with all his long messy hair and thick beard.. It's no wonder the 'Heroine' didn't fall in love with him at first sight.. Because there wasn't a single scene in the movie where you could get a look at the 'Hero's' face.. I felt his hair is longer than my daughter's.. Need to find out his hair care routine..

Well a friend from work had told us that we would get 'goosebumps' while watching the movie.. Halfway through the movie my friend and I looked at each other asking when is/are the 'goosebump' moment(s) gonna arrive.. I haven't laughed through a comedy movie as much as I have laughed through this movie.. The dialogues.. Cringe worthy! One look at the Heroine and the Hero goes "I love (pronounced as 'loooouuu') you.. The Heroine retorts "How dare you".. and the Hero replies "How fair you"! (Shakespeare must've rolled in his grave a million times listening to that!!!) Another gem from the movie.. The Hero in his inimitable style says "If you are bad, then I am your Dad"! I'm guessing the dialogue was designed to instill fear in the villain.. But it made me laugh, thinking what would've happened if the other actor had said "But I already have a dad.. Biologically you can have just ONE dad"..And not to forget the mindless violence.. I was just amazed at how the Hero can turn any object into a weapon and mercilessly beat up all the bad guys.. Without breaking a sweat!! Well, maybe the Hero got wounded on his face and may have been bleeding.. But I couldn't see it through all that hair..

So the only thing I liked about the whole experience was that I got to bond with friends from work, outside working hours.. Anyway I've had my fill of masala movies for a lifetime.. Think I'll just go back to watching my favourite show "Grey's Anatomy".. That's a lot of mindless cinema too, but atleast there's a lot of 'eye candy' to make it worth my time.. ;-)

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

HAVE THINE OWN WAY O LORD :)

The lyrics of a favorite hymn of mine go like this: "Lord I hope this day is good I'm feeling empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord I know I should but Lord I hope this day is good" I can so relate to this hymn right now coz I am feeling empty and misunderstood. I always used to pride myself on being very open and honest. I was never in the habit of mincing words.My classmates and friends have admired me for this very quality of mine. Close friends confide in me with the hope that I will give them an honest opinion about things the way I see it.but off late I'm getting into trouble for my honesty. Making more enemies than friends and people close to me i feel are drifting away. so now I'm confused. am I supposed to be flowing with the tide and not against it lest i be swept away by a strong current and drown? What if i want to flow with the tide but at a pace of my own, in a style of my own? I'm feeling totally lost at this point of time.. and at a...
