New York-Review

Kabir Khan’s ‘New York’ is about three friends impacted by the fallout of 9/11: it was not just the twin towers which were destroyed; a whole way of life died too. Americans began looking at people not of their nationality and religion with hatred and deep suspicion: if they are brown and worshipped Allah, they were meant to be terrorists.

Samir (John), Omar (Mukesh), and Maya (Katrina) meet as students at New York State. They hang out on campus, in pubs, but never seem to go to class(:-p)

In the best Bollywood tradition, this is a triangle: Omar loves Maya who loves Sam. They watch the planes crash into the towers in shock and horror—Omar goes his way, the other two get hitched.

Years later, the FBI with main as Roshan (Irrfan) hurdles in the threesome’s lives, with a shocking revelation: that one of them is into terrorist organization

That relevance carries the well-produced and photographed film some of its distance.The best shown was the way Samir was tortured for nine months without a shred of evidence.

John does well in his frail characterization which could have been much more convincing, deep and effective. Neil looks rehearsed in some scenes but doesn’t disappoint. Irrfan Khan never misses any punch in his lines and is as expressive as ever. Katrina Kaif for the first time has acted really well and does steal the show somewhere.

But all and what I can conclude is :-It is a must watch for many reasons so just don’t miss it.

LABOR DAY-MAY DAY

 

 

 

 

 

 

Labour Day or Labor Day is an annual holiday celebrated all over the world that resulted from the labour union movement, to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers. The majority of countries celebrate Labour Day on May 1, and it is popularly known as May Day and International Workers’ Day.

The celebration of Labour Day has its origins in the Eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest.

 

“HAPPY LABOR DAY”

 

 

Best Khan:-Firoz Khan

“Style Icon-Firoz Khan”

 

 

Firoz Khan, the legendary actor from Bollywood, a producer and Director died late Sunday night at the age of 70, in his Bangalore farmhouse.

 

He was diagnosed with cancer a year ago and was being treated at a Mumbai hospital.

His son and actor Fardeen Khan besides some other family members were with him when the end came.

 

The Bollywood actor first made his mark in 1965 when his film ‘Oonche Log’ hit it off with the audience. He then went on to flatter the viewers with the musical masaala film ‘Arzoo’ where he played a sacrificing lover. But the biggest hit of his career was ‘Qurbani’ opposite Zeenat Aman which hit the nail on the head.

 

He was one of the true secular, courageous, colorful, vivacious, inventive and creative person who was an embodiment of love, the true divine creature .He was the best KHAN industry have.

 His work,his deeds,his movies,his smile…will always be remembered in indian film industry…

A Thought…Worth Sharing

On daily basis we receive many emails, but one of the email as mentioned below has really given me a thunder bolt ….As said “truth is always bitter” .one more bitter thought is stated below…

 

     Do not worry about those who have come thru boats…
Our forces can easily defeat them.  
WORRY about those who have come thru votes….
Those are our REAL ENEMIES….

     What a shame and disgrace to every citizen of India that the elite NSG Force was transported into ordinary BEST buses, whereas our cricketers are transported into state of the art luxury buses, these Jawans lay down their lives to protect every Indian and these cricketers get paid even if they lose a match, we worship these cricketers and forget the martyrdom of these brave Jawans.
The Jawans should be paid the salaries of the cricketers and the cricketers should be paid the salaries of the Jawans.

 An ace shooter shoots and gets gold medal, government gives 1crore, another shooter dies while shooting terrorist, government gives 5 lakh.      

   

        WHO DESERVES MORE? Huh… This is our India….

 

Be a patriot and forward this to everyone u know.

Good Bye

 

I’ll always be your boy.
When we hold eachother close,
the world seems to move fast,
And it seems like forever,
though much time has past.

Wish it could’ve lasted forever
but instead it went by so fast
now when i am not;

Worry not about life,
let me worry for you.

You should always love life,
for it is a part of you.

I’ll be there when you fall,
to catch you and say I Love You…

Calling Experience

Place where I work, necessitates making lots of calls daily….

Each call requires special understanding and different criteria to handle the same.

 

All across the globe, people behave uniquely. Some bang the call, some listen and ask to drop an email while some simply say we are not interested….These days I was busy calling to USA…hmmmmm….okish response.

 

You know how difficult it is to keep waking up in night and make calls’.

 

One incident happened yesterday night and I just thought to share it up here.

 

There was a lady Ms Asha Dargani (INDIAN) I expected her to be very pleasant and soft….but no-“all that glitters is not always gold”

 

She was a complete rude crap, just trying to throw the attitude that “she was very busy and don’t have always time to entertain my calls”

 

I felt like telling that women that as if I was always free and had loads of spare time to listen her so called BAK BAK.

 

Well what the conclusion is that woman being an Indian how she could be so boorish and simply bombard her mood on me.

 

I remember Mr Vijay residing in America since 15 years was so happy to hear me in Hindi and asked: How is all in India?Is food thier still so delicious?? He just added:-’i miss India’……..!!!”

Well that was super cool….isn’t it???? I can still feel him smiling all the day through.

 

Sometimes some small things in life stand out to be so special and touching that you remember them whole of your life.

 

 

 

“Not just east or west, India is best every where…”

 

 

 

 

 

Fashion

 

 

Just saw Fashion movie…

It comes out as the most stupendous presentation of Madhur Bhandarkar.

The fashion world lies  at models feet – the parties, the brand endorsements, the photographers, the models, the romance and of course – the shows, the shows, the shows!

“Fashion” explores the world of style through the emotional personal journey of the key people that make the industry – the dream-weavers of that elaborate world of glamour: the models, designers, photographers, businessmen, agencies etc.

The story reels between three beautiful women. Kangana (Shonali), Priyanaka (Meghna) and Mughda (Janett).

Shonali is the lead super model who becomes a drug addict as the fame binds her up. She did it very well and proved that she can act too. A correct role in correct hand is what we can tell about her…

The other one is Meghna who is small town girl with only one ambition in her eyes to be a ‘Super Model’. She never wanted to compromise anything on her journey to success -even if people said “intelligent women couldn’t be glamorous?” She finally reaches the peak of her success and rises to walk the ramps for leading designers across India.

Janet– Not very celebrated model who never makes it big but marries a gay designer and lives a happy life. She has appeared out to be a complete package .A descent acting with powerful role was another cherry on the cake.

Direction – Madhur, as always, has ensured that everything is authentic about his subject – from the models, to the choreographers to the actors, behind the stage scenes. All spin span…all perfect.

At last what you are left with is: Business is business and there are no emotions for any relationships. To succeed one most not look back…keep moving ahead…

 

“If you miss an opportunity do not cloud you eyes with tears, keep your vision clear so that you do not miss the next one”

 

Indeed  ’fashion’ able occurrence

Kyunki..its end now!

“Never Ending…finally ending……!”

 

After accomplishing 8 long years….Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is finally going off air on 1^st week of November…

 

It is a very well-liked Hindi TV soap opera produced by Balaji Telefilms. The serial moves around the Guajarati “Virani” family…

 

A serial where nothing is impossible! From Mihir changing….??(Let me count) 3 times I guess .Dying coming back with the idea of Plastic Surgery…. Purn Janam, Baa living for years and years….Mandira-the vamp with no emotions…..

 

Don’t you think all these characters –Tulsi, Paarvati instead of being the supreme Bahus are actually playing the role of “CID” or James Bond always busy spying….Oh common cut the crap!! We need something spanking new

 

 

Finally the drama of rona dhona of Saas Bahu, affairs, Politics in kitchen, so many marriages, vast joint families, will at last disappear from Indian Television. Yet proving as the most beloved serials of aunties!

 

 At the initial stage when Tulsi was young, then I also used to watch this serial, but later after 2-3 years, producers and directors came out as to be manufacturing elastic and keep stretching each topic. (Uuuuuffffffff!!!)

 

 

I can sense all men across smiling and celebrating…..Ultimately now when it’s ending…they will be able to watch something practical and sensible. Hope so…right guys!!!

 

“All that starts well….ends well”

 

 

Black”

 

Black is Bright….!!!!

 

Just came across the headline in newspaper about the victory of US President Barack Obama that “Black is Bright”

I agree; as black has always demonstrated darkness and shadows but the triumph of Obama has proved that black is a symbol of “justice and achievement”

Warm congratulations “Mr Obama”

Dostana….Dost…Na…Na

Dostana…Dost…Na…Na

 

Debutant director Tarun Mansukhani’s Dostana is a captivating comedy, flavored with just the right basics of gay.

 

Just the exact characters!  Abhishek as Sam with naughty and wacky expressions was simply vow. John as Kunal looks sexiest and handsome hunk. Priyanaka as Neha looks stunning and gave one more outstanding performance after Fashion.

 

The movie has best sense of humor, good comic timing. The story is about three friends Neha, Sam and Kunal with a little twist that Sam and Kunal is a gay couple. The old zest of friendship story is completely molded and came out as real fun.

 

Both guys lived as the tenants’ in Neha’s house and lied that they are gay. Gradually the two men have also fallen in love for Neha but are unable to tackle her with the truth. Each of them struggles to upstage the other one, and life would have continued like this but for the actuality that Neha falls in love with her boss -Abhimanyu played by Booby Deol. The two boy friends team up and try their best to shatter up the romance with all kinds of pranks. Substance come to an end and they are bound to tell Neha the reality about their feelings for her, and that they had betrayed her about being gay. Neha is hurt by her two friends. Contrary, Abhimanyu takes back his offer of marriage, because his young son’s mind has been spoiled by the boys. It all ends well when Sam and Kunal gang up again to set things accurate. All misunderstandings are zapped and Neha goes back with Abhimanyu, and her two friends.

 

The other minor roles like Boman Irani.Kirti Kher deserves appreciation. The story is simple enough but has been well bounded by the amusing and hilarious dialogues, silly sequences and immensely played. The bounding between the two most important men is certainly one of the highlights of the film. Music is ok…

 

A must watch…..go off and get entertained

 

John & Abhishek…Vah! …what a Dostana!  

 

 

 

Yuvraaj

Yuvraaj….All about Family

 

 

 

          

 

“Yuvvraaj is a tale of a family in Europe where a father constructs an enormous prosperity for his three sons but dies monitoring that they have mislaid family ethics and announced themselves as partners than brothers and engage in dangerous mind games with each other.”

 

Elegant Katrina,Handsome Salman,Cute Zayed,Royal Anil …all set to Spark…

 

 

       

Countdown Begins..

Mumbai Attacks

“Terrorist Revisits”

Gunmen destroyed at least 80 people’s life in a chain of attacks in India’s financial capital Mumbai which has made us shocked, saddened and angry.

Gunfire and explosions were heard at the landmark Taj Mahal hotel and thick clouds of smoke rose from the building. There were also blasts at the Oberoi hotel and firing at a hospital where gunmen were surrounded. Even Koreans, Europeans are also caught up in attacks.

“They have attacked hotels, they have attacked the hospitals, and they have attacked the railway station, “I am speechless….Why? Is all I want to know?

What the hell do they get to take away the lives of humans? Do they have any social values and ethics or not?

When the world is facing ample financial crises, companies are locking down and layoff period is at the bewildered phase and now here are these attacks to add spice on the situation.

This is not what we Indians’ have dreamt of. We ought to have peace and security.

I devote my prayers to all those who have lost their lives.

Dedicate your blessings here..!!
