Don't be too fast. People start losing interest if you burden them with stuff (even if it is high quality stuff).
I think you can be next Premjit, but his strategy is much better. Compare yourself with him. He has just written 126 reviews in less than 2 years, and has much better presence than you ...on this site.
Start looking beyond obvious.
Anyways, congratulation, not for this review but in general. This review, to be very frank, is only average (too much of digression in the review).
Take care

Second, about her foreign issue, obviously it is a concern but as you yourself say if a foreigner has proved herself then he/she has all the right for premiership. Sonia has proved herself. Ironical is the fact that only netizens and literate elite seem to be raising this doubt, poor masses have acc...epted it. It seems you wanna deny/condemn democracy, if it is so then do just that. I have only seen one review on this site talking about the failure of democracy in India. Mr Vivek, if you really wanna hear your and other people's inner voice then why don't you start with writing on the ill-effects of democracy in its present form in India? There was a guy called net_aryan here, who generally inspired interest in me, I went and did some search on google to see if he is writing somewhere else. I found he is writing at his own blog somewhere, I don't remember the name. Search on google for net_aryan should lead to that blog. He has written one article on failure of Indian democracy, which is an interesting reading.
Third, about her denial of Indian citizenship for years and running away to Italy in 1971, well that’s true, but at that time, when she went to Italy, she was 24 years old. Do I need say more? You can’t expect a newly married European bred 24 year damsel to think of greater interest of nation. Now, rejecting her because of that one mistake is actually imprudent. The same carry forwards to her denying Indian citizenship. This very much explains that she really didn’t want to be part of Indian politics, and her denying citizenship was just a part of that process. However, ironically, she had to take up citizenship in the end to safeguard Rajiv’s political interest, which she was very much against. Anyways, politics is not a battle ground of saints, I doubt, if there is any politician who doesn’t have a past (known or unknown). Rather, I feel, Sonia’s past is almost passable, at least to the logically thinking people.

Is this a good review? I doubt really.
First of all, it is, like many other reviews on MS at present, a Sonia’s defamation propaganda. Actually, those who are really interested in reading similar stuff should go to
http://www.hinduweb.org/home/general_sites/essays/Sonia.html
That is... a much better place to read all this kind of stuff, and much more convincing too.
Coming to this review, it is a very poor attempt at defaming Sonia, that too after so many ideas have been generated on this site itself. Come on MSians get some creativity. You people seem to have lost all your thinking power. Just writing eulogistic comments won't help. This will not give you ------. Go get some life.
Since, I feel too much of anything is bad therefore I shall counter three points, which are often raised against Sonia.
Firstly, about Sonia's Cambridge thing, yes it is a mistake, which has been over-emphasized. And, the idea about her being a liar in this review is very similar to what I found in a quoted statement from Mr Goerge Fernandes at rediff. I am not suggesting things have been picked up; it could just be an inspiration.

Your review has been unnecessarily rated 'NU' by people (especially Mariner) that's why I am rating it 'VU'.
Probably, your analysis of the present situation is also positive and accurate, though your predictions of the future are fictious and exxagerated and impractical. For once, I thought you... were condemning Sonia. But, that's the qualities essentially required in a good leader and a manager. So, actually you were praising Sonia, and that's quite a nice attitude. Neways, why Sonia denied premeirship will always remain an enigma. Probably, there are things which we don't know, and those who know them don't discuss them.
Somewhere, on some other site, I read about the role of corporate sector or some other powerful lobbies in the whole thing, though prima facie looking extremely cynical, I don't rule it out entirely.

I would have thought like that in school. This is not the way life works. People in USa and Europe have similar problems, it's not only India. India has one fundamental problem of lack of self assurance, the day that problem is solved we will be able to compete with world, though may not be develop...ed even then.
Actually, developed status is not all that important even.
China is a good example of self assured country. Or for that matter even North Korea. I would say even Saddam Hussein had lots of self assurance, but he failed because of his affiliations. The task is too big for India. Let's see if India can achieve it.

I am sorry to say but you have got it all wrong. You think there is no problem in being a foreigner being a Head of state, but to me, it is a genuine concern though it has been politicized unnecessarily. And, since democracy has chosen Congress, which means the people at large, have negated the issu...e of Sonia's foreign origin with her competence. I don't know why it is so difficult to understand. To people, Sonia, though being a foreigner is more acceptable, probably, because of her some qualities, which intelligent people have failed to recognize.
I don't think at all that there is any kind of political inexperience or lack of tact or whatever else in case of Sonia. Rather, I think, she is a very shrewd politician and, generally, a wise person (and, in all probability, more sincere than other politicians), and in best position in Congress to take up the challenge. That's the reason Sonia's foreign issue is not a problem, given her capabilities. And, since Governments are not run single handedly, the chances of security risk arising out of Sonia's Italy links are negligible. Either, we should have a clear cut policy on foreign origin, as USA has, or else we should not deny an achiever of her success. It's unfortunate and shows immaturity of Indian Constitution.

Two party system is not Utopia, it's just against the spirit of Democracy. This is a propoganda created by the big two parties themselves. The basic premises of perfect market is many players, and free information. Both the things would disappear with two party system and monoplosation of politics w...ill happen, which means the consumer (people) will be left with even lesser choices.
There are some basic problems with the kind of democracy we have in India cos India is a Huge nation and single layer representation is just not possible here. This system has been adopted from England, which is a small country. So definitely things need to change, but then who the hell cares? Real power doesn't lie with the goverment either, it is just part of the system then why give it so much of importance?

Congratulations to Shreya and Preran. Sonia has declined to become PM. Probably that is even best for her. She has done her Job and declined the highest post, now she can live in peace. Indeed a wise lady.
Shreya....I think you need to take a break. You are chastising Sonia as if you have some p...ersonal enimity with her, and you will campaign for Congress??? Did you campaign for NDA this time?
Nobody is seeing any problem in inclusion of SP in the Government, which by its very nature is an opportunistic party, and, in all probability, has been helped by Mr Anil Ambani to find a place in the Government. For everybody's information, Mr Anil Ambani met both Congress and BJP a day before the counting began, obviously as SP's man.
If we have to rely on Sensex for deciding the fortunes of the country then that's the day. Go back and see the history of Sensex. Every three four years there is a bull run and then a whirlwind fall. This has been happening since 1991, now compare this with the Major world indices for the same period and you will know why Indian markets are not reliable enough for anything. They are led (or say manipulated) by some extremely clever people, and suffered by irrational, emotional fools, which are in plenty in India.

I was just going through the reviews of some of the writers having been sealed for writing provocative reviews on this site. These writers include people like Imran, net aryan, asli naqli etc etc. And, I found thier reviews not at all provocative when compared to this review.
Ms Shreya let me wa...rn you if you keep writing reviews like this and also became famous (which I know you will never because you don't have the courage to take up the challenge of becoming famous, else you wouldn't have replaced your earlier Pic with some completely non-resembling Pic), you will lose all your and your parent's money in fighting lawsuits and losing all the defamation cases against you. Well, I have a problem with the credibility of all the information presented here, especially about Sanjay Gandhi's father and marriage. Please present concrete proof of the same here.
And, obviously the people here are complete idiots, and they very cooly say the masses are idiots. This literate elite is giving 'vu' rating to such a trash review, and also suppporting Shreya's view points, without asking her any questions about the credibility of her presented info, and pointing any fingers on her biased analysis, and completely forgetting the fact that this review might have been a plagiarized one. This is ignominious.Read More

Hi!
You are perfectly true about this movie, though I don't agree Shahrukh is a seasoned actor. He has not shown much variety in his career.
If you are planning to watch other movies, then watch Krishna Cottage first, it's better than others at present, then Masti is good, Ritesh is hilarious.... Maqbool is also ok, but it's more hyped than actuality. I wanted to watch Meenakshi, but, I think, it's out of theatres now, is it getting re-released? Shadi Ka Ladoo (I wouldn't waste my time on it except if you say it is good)?
What makes you think your rating is low for this moview? There is an option further down.
Have fun,
PS. There is another thing which I found very strange in this movie, I don't know whether you noticed it. It's in the climax when Major Ram Prasad (Shahrukh) says, 'Tun APNI Ramayan Bhool Gaye' to Raghvan (Suniel Shetty). I didn't understand the use of word 'APNI'.

Now I have started having concerns. This I am seing happening with second person here. The Guy, Ayman, has been blocked for supposedly writing plagriazed reviews. Similar was the case with net_aryan.
I don't understand even if the guy has written some plagriazed reviews then you should have broug...ht it upfront. I have read almost 10 of his reviews, didn't find any even slightly plagriazed, except may be one.
And, now I see a comment from a reviewer about insufficient info, whose own reviews are a peice of junk in terms of info.
What else do you expect Lyla? The guy has written about food, entertainment, ambience, practices. I am sorry to say but your comment is definitely disparaging.Read More

Lilwitch: I think people here were more concerned about putting down Aryan then commenting on his review. You seem to be one of them. I especially went and read all of his reviews, and found you to be completely bullsh-----g. You say Aryan only like artificial (this is what you say not him, and that...’s probably because you are not good looking enough) external beauty, but his first review proves it otherwise. You say Aryan decides about population from a random sample. What do you expect him to do? Check the whole population. Did you ever have any course in statistics? I had that's why I say you are bulls-----g. Then you say he is not liberal because he don't admire a girl holding a fag, if this is your definition of liberty then I don't know who can save you, and how liberal you yourself are?
Blueguitar: I don't know what seriousness of MS you are talking about? The people over here are fighting like cats, a 'bold' lady is using this forum as a medium to satisfy her personal grudge against her enemies, people are collectively trying to bring a person down and even succeeding, and some extremely insignificant write ups are getting paramount importance, and, last but not the least, innocent people like Mr. Aryan are getting curbed, and complete idiots are getting all the value.
Stop playing this emotional blackmailing games blueguitar, it can cost you dear. Take it as an advice from my experience.
Now, I know you people are gonna start doubting me, but never mind I am too high above your stupid suspicions.

I really feel sorry for you Aryan. I know now you won't be reading this but still my sympathies are with you. You are actually class apart from ordinary people over here. I am not rating you because it is not required now.
Now for some other people. Whom should I start with?
Well I will start w...ith the last commenter i.e. Aviendha.
Aviendha: In your first comment you write one thousand things against this review, which was fine. Then suddenly you write a PS on behalf of your Gujarati friend, which, if girl, means you were trying to play some other game here. Anyways, so far so good, but suddenly after some 23 days hence you come back and write another comment saying Aryan tried marketing his clan. How sad, you are one big b----h (you know what I mean). Can't you see Aryan was just trying to be funny nothing else? He gave a declaration means he was true in his sense of humour. I think he should be a great guy who knows how to feel proud about himself and his dear ones. Assuming Aryan is from India, if tomorrow he says India is better than other countries, I doubt whether then also you will attack him.
Senorita: I think Aryan was actually not very well read about caste system; else he would have given you a fitting reply. Anyways, in his review, knowingly or unknowingly, Mr Aryan has not even remotely touched Caste System, your comment is irrelevant.
Achilles; I don't know what were you trying to do? Were you trying to corner poor Aryan? In your first comment you say write something positive. Aryan gives you a fitting reply, and then you attack his sense of humour. I have read another review of Aryan on Murder, go and read it then you won't have any doubt about his sense of humour. And then you say Aryan makes friends on the basis of clans, but poor Aryan has very well clarified how he makes friends. Where is the contradiction? And then you write something in reply to Senorita, again sarcastically chiding him. Were you upto some conspiracy Achilles?

I have written just one paragraph on IQ in this review, and you think this review is all about IQ! Don't even try to sit for CAT, you will face disappointment. IIMs are not for people like you, who can't even read a review properly.
