The exquisite Ranbir-Deepika starred movie, keeps us wishing for more.

Directed by - Imtiaz Ali
Starring - Ranbir kapoor
                  Deepika Padukone
Music by - A.R. Rahman
Cinematography - Ravi Varman
Edited by - Arti Bajaj


            Imtiaz Ali's ''Tamasha'' is theatrical attempt at exploring love, life and live for life in it's best form - free from the hobbles of society. Unlike his other superhit movies, he failed to offer much justice to "Tamasha".

             The first half is dedicated much to the scenic beauty of Corsica. And Ved (Ranbir), Tara ( Deepika) live in a delightful fictional world for a week and decide to help each other with no strings attached. It is bit of a paradox. It reveals less about it's two protagonist than with-holds.

             The second half, thankfully, gears up and brings us a little closer to Bed and Tara.

              ''Tamasha" is a joyless drama, delighting in ecstatising in wretched glory of the two mystique people who are eager to find their mutual love in one another.

                The film is a celebration of story telling, of the power of lies to reveal the truth. It is also about the transformative power of love.

Aamir Khan's intolerance speech being misinterpreted.

        Aamir khan too climbed on the intolerance bandwagon. Aamir's comment was misconstrued and he was criticised and mocked for something he didn't even say. But since he never said about the religion-intolerance, what could be the real reason?

        Aamir khan said that he is depressed at the rising intolerance.  The word "intolerancec" here has the connection with the views and beliefs. Many took to Facebook and Twitter to shaft their rage, as news broke out that Mr. Khan and his wife Kiran Rao desired to leave the country.  I wonder, how many of them, actually bothered to to look for the full interview that featured Aamir Khan's conversation with Anant Goenka.

         Well, Aamir didn't express the desire to leave the country,  what if he actually said, legally he is free to do so. Ironically,  the controversy happened around something that wasn't even said.

          The actor was accused of mortifying the nation in front of the international media but it was the reaction to his statement that actually attracted their attention.

          Anupam Kher was one of the first celebrities to react after the news erupted.  Many dragged the resemblance of movie'PK' into the controversy, like Paresh Rawal, Ram Gopal Verma, etc.

         On social media,  Mr. Khan's comments reinvigorated, the debate on intolerance and free expression,  had dominated media coverage in India for weeks this fall but recently perished.

In true sense, Is "PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO" a hit?

Movie - Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
Genre - Drama
Cast- Salman Khan, Sonam kapoor, Anuoam Kher, Deepak Dobriyal, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Armaan Kohli, Swara Bhasjara, Ashika Bhatia.
Direction & Screenplay -  Sooraj Barjatya

Music by - Sanjay Choudhary & Himesh Reshamiya.


           In 1989, Sooraj Barjatya's debut movie 'Hum Apke Hain Kaun' gave salman's career a successful start. Movies of that time were mostly related to independence, war, etc. And Sooraj Barjatya gained success by a sweet & romantic movie at that time. It made a great box office success.

           "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo", on the other hand is a family drama with a glaring cosmetic difference : the story is set in a grand palace unlike common person's home. Salman khan plays a double role, sonam plays princess. The plot line is based on a novel, " The Prisoner of Zeda". There are few drawbacks - unconvincing sequences, such as a feudal football match, dancing 'halwais', etc could've been trimmed.

            Sooraj Barjatya tried experimenting with his movie unlike his other movies, family drama which is set in normal houses. His experiment didn't seem to work out so well. Box office earnings weren't too bad but the ratings were. Sooraj Barjatya's last real hit was "Vivaah" -2006.

Làte motherhood tends to getting obsessive?

          On  oct 2015, flimfare magazine issue, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the star and her interview is cativating and irresistible just like her. When she was asked whether she agrees that "women who embrace motherhood late tend to get obsessive!! In reply to it, she says she is perfectly happy being a mother in her late 30's as she was matured enough to tackle everything. "If enjoy spending all the my time with aradhya. Everyday is a discovery It's consuming, I won't deny it. I'm not trying to sugar-coat it when I say that the fatigue is a sweet fatigue....you feel good at the end of the day, even if you're fighting sleep and you're reading those stories again and again. It's inexplicable".

         Parenthood , she says is something that's opened up within us, people start thinking through their child. Yet she says, she is part of her universe as was before . She feels her life never changed and yet it so has.

         The article is well written on motherhood at a later age. The article has really good points and may be helpful to the readers to quite an extent but they would also like to know some more about her.

         Few information are missing there was no mention of her family. She did not mention herfamily ccontributions or support in her decision about the pregnancy or comeback to flims. There was news lately, which talks about her issues with her mother in law. She dislikes her mother in law's interference in her life. And was willing to move to another bungalow with her husband and aradhya.

        The article was quite good but some facts were missing. So, it was not accurate enough. It had clarity in it's own facts though. This review will be helpful to Aishwarya's fan yet to those somewhat have same situation as of her.

        Please leave me your opinions & suggestions in the comments below. 

Writers returning the Sahitya academy award.

           The rising intolerance and communal atmosphere in the country as manifested by incidents such as murder of writer MM Kalburgi and lynching of a muslim man over rumour's that he had eaten beef, few eminent writers returned their Sahitya academy award in order to protest. While kannada writer Arvind Malagatti resigned from the body's general council - joining the growing protest by litterateur and cultural personalities that has already seem more than a dozen resignations and open letters directed at the literary institution . Recently literary figures like Shashi Deshpande, K Satchidanandan, PK Parakkadavu had resigned from their posts in the academy, citing similar reasons.

    

           With the writer's protest over it's ' silence ' on nationalist MM Kalburgi's murder growing louder, sahitya academy chairperson Vishvanath Prasad  Tiwari came out with a statement saying the apex literary body stands for freedom of expressions and condemns attacks on any writer or artist anywhere. 

 

           The politicians are not doing anything about the matter but gambling. PM Modi criticized the incidents, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said, " Politics by other means, by those use to enjoy the patronage of the earlier Congress govt., and also left parties." Jaitley also said there was no atmosphere of intolerance in the country, and this act of writers, returning the award was an act of ideological intolerance. WB governor, Kashinath Tripathi, " Why did they not return the sammans when Nirbhaya incident had happen in Delhi and when Muzaffarnagar incident happened in UP?"

           On asking opinions on this issue from public. I found 60% of the people are in support of the protest, they say it is must in order to keep our views in front of govt., and show them the power of common man. And the rest 40% say that this might not be a good way to give our views in front of government.

           This protest might bring some changes against the injustice of freedom of speech for the writers. But I don't think this is going to bring too much of change because the government is not reacting much to this, even when some of the writers are about to return their Padmashree Awards. I think we definitely should do something in order to force the govt. to do something about the injustice but returning the awards is not one of them.
