Kaminey..... The Faaaadu movie.....


I promised myself. I promised that I would never write a movie review in this blog of mine. But I couldn’t stop myself from writing this review. Because it is such a strong and tight movie with commercial touches that I saw the same movie twice in a movie hall, never in my life. And I liked it the same as I liked it the first time.
Since now everyone are more or less aware of this movie, I will play a spoiler in telling you the story.
Two brothers, both played by Shahid Kapur, one lisp other stammers, hate each other. Charlie is a gangster and works with 3 bengali brothers, working as a bookie in a race course. The other, Guddu gets in love with Sweety, played by Priyanka Chopra, but she is the sister of a corrupt politician, Bhope Bhaau. Also, comes in the scene three more characters, Tashi, Lobo and Lele. And since then, each of their roads coincide over a thing, the guitar.
The story is so fast paced that if you miss a scene, you may miss the whole funda of the movie. Each scene is perfectly executed. Acting is perfect. Even if Shahid lisps and stammers, it doesn’t sound even a single time funny.
Completely dark movie, I think the whole industry and the people will need some more years to understand and make such kind of films. The second time I went to see this movie, most of the people were there for the second time like me. And also I have asked many who didn’t like the movie a bit. I can say, it is a movie either you will love or you will hate. There is no midway. This way or that way. I recommend you to watch it atleast once. You will feel you have seen something different something unusual in Bollywood.

Angels And Demons - Dan Brown


Digital Fortress, a book which relates the science growing into a massive power. Filled with unknown and rare science miracles.
The Da Vinci Code, a book purely religious. It was the best seller book and still the book is famous. I read the book and I thought no book can be any better than this.
Then, a friend of mine recommended me to read Angels and Demons, and as he promised, my thinking was about to be devastated.

And now I tell you and maybe also to Dan Brown, that he made a huge mistake releasing this book much before The Da Vinci Code. This book is a fusion of both Digital Fortress and Da Vinci Code. This is the fusion of Science and Religion. Again Robert Langdon gets involved into a certain series of events, which get worse time after time. But he gets more suffering in this novel, more beatings, more blood. And it is violent too. But the events are as twisting as possible. Till the last moment, you keep guessing who the sinister is. Dan Brown is a champion when it comes to unfolding parts with suspense and thrill you to the core.
But sometimes it felt that Dan Brown was explaining a bit too much of the history than he should. I like history, specially after reading Da Vinci Code, but maybe I am not used to so much of complex facts thrown back to back. So, sometimes it keeps messy.

And yes, on my decision whether Angels and Demons won the fight with The Da Vinci Code, I am still undecided.
