Arranged Marriages!

m.... Do you have a blood brother who had an arranged marriage? and if yes how did it go when you were seeking an alliance for him? I totally feel what you must be going through having got my elder sister married, i made a point not to visit anyones house unless i was 90% sure i would be happy to be... married to that individual. And the only family i met was my wife's :). End of the day, even after going through this seemingly nonsensical custom, you should get a good match and that defines your life. I was lucky and so will you be :)Read More

Indians and the English accent problem

nice Couldnt agree more. I too have a strong R, D, T and so on when i speak, but have long given up on trying to cover it up. The fact that i can speak grammatically correct foreign language itself is well appreciated by the English tongues, i no longer mind the frowns or requests to repeat my state...ments awkward anymore. A very pertinent post!! Cheers on the FB statusRead More

petrol prices

totally agree You may want to read one of my earlier blogs on the same issue. Ultimately the government recovers the subsidy from general public and hence a market controlled fuel price is indeed the way forward. as for increasing the fossil fuel price to discourage their demand goes, the governm...ent also needs to look at improving the public transportation in the country. As a comparison, in UK you literally do not need private transport as the public transport is pretty strong. De-subsidizing fuel prices alone appears to be a problem without a solution, no one would welcome it. Well written!!!Read More

one thing is for sure, the women(just one) wears more clothes than bips or sonam or anyone in this movie. Am sure they would have carried out the robberies wearing a bikini ;) Nice review!!

agree with your comments overall. Iam a fan of Farhan Akhtar and will remain so. Could have been better had you given your reviews about the movie, the plot, the script and so on. Cheers!!

I landed in New York and took an apartment in New jersey. Just to get used to the time difference, my buddy invited me to watch this movie in a theater (me and theater- are like kids and freak shows). I pulled myself together despite all the tiredness and got into Big cinemas. And there it wa...Read more

Personally i liked the movie. It is more on a wavering kid getting a purpose for his life and that too ends up saving many lives of his countrymen. I do appreciate you have a different liking, nevertheless good few thoughts that you shared.

You nailed it!!! A near to perfect review. My favourite line 'Everyone is Racist' Emraan hashmi should have been born as a sibling to Sallu, Has the same solid face muscles that cant do much other than kissing. Eager to read your next!! Congrats

Big Fuss ! Endihran / The [Immature] Robot
Enthiran

Your observation is party correct that the concept of making a movie around a robot is old, Robot does not seem to be any closer to Bicentenial man. Of course, Robot is made for Indian audience and will for sure have songs, masala and all the regular ingredients of an indian movie, coz that is what ...our viewers want and that is what does business. I too am of the opinion to do away with all the masala from Indian movies, but we must appreciate the appetite of our movie goers. I definitely appreciate your opinion, but may and most probably will not agree to a Shankar movie not being 'At least' a total time pass movie.Read More

Hi Ajeet Very well written. You have not given up the specifics which could have spoiled the experience for others, while generating more curiosity to the already curious folks. Iam in Poland now and will be watching this movie for sure. Keep the reviews coming, nothing about Dabang from you?:...) cheers GiriRead More

Dabang- Preview of Robot :)
Dabangg

Hey Shalu, Thanks for reading. I somehow felt dabang was not a mindless movie coz it appeared serious in parts. Anyway, my taste stays with me and so does my pity :) PS: If relativity is something to be considered, Rajnikant used to be more than a style king at least in his early days, he was a d...ecent enough actor(he is from stage dramas, and theatre). Maybe salman had stronger facial muscles which have been stopping him from acting lolRead More

VJ I honestly found your review much better than the movie itself. I mean it is good for passing your time, that is for sure. Iam sure you will like the movie ' The Losers' if you liked this one. Cheers for writing!!
