Movie Review: Love Aaj Kal

I have been withholding this post for almost a week now. I saw Love Aaj kal on the first day itself but couldn’t quite make up my mind whether I liked it or not. Intuitively I was comparing it with Imtiaz’s previous work. That it when I decided that I should give it some time to sink in, distanc...Read more

Trip to Nagarhole (kabini)

Our trip to Nagarhole was adventurous from the word go. To start with, we didn’t take proper directions and ended up driving some fifty extra kilometers. We stayed in Sunkadakatte Forest Guest House. The guest house is right in the middle of the jungle(5 kilometers inside the jungle to be pre...Read more

It was a long weekend after a long time so I wanted to hit the road. This time we decided to drive down to Chikmagalur.I hate to stay in hotels on my personal trips. Hotels are the same everywhere- standard, boring and undistinguished. If you really want to get a feel of the place, see how th...Read more

Oye Lucky Lucky Oye: Movie Review

There has been one film that I have been anticipating for the longest time- it has to be ‘Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye(OLLO)’. In fact I rate Khosla Ka Ghosla as the second best bollywood film I have seen in last five-six years(the first has to be ‘Maqbool’- but I will save it for another post). What an...Read more

Coorg: Plantation Trails

I was supposed to be in Istanbul for a marketing conference, but I couldn’t renew my passport within the stipulated time- so I was left alone in Bangalore while the rest of the team was sightseeing in a foreign land. However, I was adamant that even I should get out of the city- if not abroad th...Read more

Sarkar Raj- Ramu, better luck next time
Sarkar Raj

Hi Poornima, I have just posted my viewpoint and I respect your take on the movie, but please don't accuse me what you call as 'downgrading ourselves' syndrome. My list of all time bests would mostly include gems of Indian cinema right from mother India to Maqbool.

Sarkar Raj

@Common_Indian Point taken. Are you trying to be forceful by posting the same comment thrice. I am glad you liked the movie, also I am sure you can't wait enough to watch the Sarkar Part 3- for all you now that might be called 'Sarkarni' with Ash becoming successor to Amitabh, anyways the stage... has been set for that in Sarkar raj. Thanks for writing in.Read More

Sarkar Raj- Ramu, better luck next time

I went to watch Sarkar Raj yesterday evening. As I took my place, I saw this small kid sleeping in the seat next to me. Though my wife found him extremely cute I wasn’t amused. Kids can be quite disruptive in settings like this. I take my movies quite seriously and like to watch them with undivi...Read more

Canara Bank: new identity

My association with Canara Bank started 25 years ago (I am 26 now). A year after my birth, my dad got a job with Canara Bank. It was a big deal getting into banks those days, and I am pretty sure that he was almost as happy with the new job offer as he was with my birth. He was a committed em...Read more

Thank You Mr. Biyani (This is not a book review)

It was while addressing a bunch of enthusiastic management students from a Tier II city, that the ‘retail reality’ hit me so hard. Naively, I asked them the sacred question of what do you want to do after you finish your MBA? Instantly came the answer. It was as if I did a mistake of asking t...Read more

Hi Whatever your are (WritersBlock), This is the response to the comment you left on my post- I think you have a problem of comprehension. I thought KKC was excellent and consider it nothing short of a piece of art.

How a self assumed movie critic ruins art

Watching KKC was quiet a demanding experience for me. I watch a good number of Hindi movies and especially make it a point to not miss any of the mainstream commercial movies backed by the moguls of the Indian film industry. I love the simplicity of the narration and syrupiness of emotions that ...Read more
