Simply a good car.
Mahindra-Renault Logan

Thanks for reading my review and commenting it. I will always wonder why good cars sometimes fail, a classical example being Fiat. Anyway, good to know u have a DLS. I have a DLE. What I really think sometimes is that parts are a) available and b) at a reasonable price in case I need them. If th...at is OK, then Logan is an excellent car at this price. One thing I think they can add to the Logan is a little heavier carpeting with some noise killing material to kill some more noise. This will take the car closer to swift DDiS in noise performance. Also if there is a little chrome properly designed, it will look great. I am planning to get these things done by myself. These small low cost things will make car a real competitor and stop people from turning away.Read More

Dear tapesht, 1) I am a software engineer with a permanent job and am a common man in a decent position in life. Therefore I DO NOT WANT AND DO NOT NEED TO WRITE FOR ANY COMPANY. 2) I wrote this review because I have spent six lacs on this machine and am living in heaven - not hell. 3) I...f there are company sponsored reviews of the car on this website- mine is not one of them. 4) You have not written what is wrong with the car- may be that would have helped me. You should think before writing. Accusations like this will make free thinking writers wary and cautious and hamper flow of free thought. False allegations are not welcome.Read More

Simply a good car.

If the world is made of only car brands, it is made of two hemispheres- Honda City, Ford Ikon, Ford Fiesta, Skoda, Hyundai, Mahindra, Tata etc in one hemisphere, the other had Maruti's carts. Never was Mahindra Logan part of it. Why? Because people did not know much about this car. It was a car ...Read more

3 idiots: "Golmaal" dignified
3 Idiots

Thanks Mathur Saab for your appreciation. I give a lot of time to writing about anything. But am I too pessimistic about the movie? After all the film has put forth the concept of properly focussing talents and avoiding unnecessary race coupled with wacky humour which appeals to majority of our audi...ence. So what we find as flaws actually appeal to so many people that the movie does make its message audible to a large cross section of society. I could not have done it. Even today we like David dhavan more than any intellectual comedy! However, if I look at it deeply, the film that goes against rat race has tried to project Aamir Khan as the final winner - of the rat race! This is a self contradiction. The movie in the ends Balatkars itself! Am I wrong?Read More

3 idiots: "Golmaal" dignified

Very interesting and a really good comedy. And then I saw another movie in which there was serious Dean, again ...Read more

"Teri zindagi aur maut ka faasla Munna ki chaku ki dhaar se zyaada nahin hai." Some films are classics with a question for thought with a deep intellectual story.

SImply Meena Kumari
Pakeezah

I am thankful to all you people. Well I am a bit partial here. I am because I have understood both sides of Pakeezah the other side being more interesting and that is what is the point of this review. A straightforward review is available on numerous sites! I may include that also I think. But ever...obody knows that dialogue by Raj Kumar when traveling on train. And the story of that letter is really beautiful but it is nothing new. I apologize. I am not educating anybody here. All I wanted is to put forward what is not known about Pakeezah. Regards The reviewer Read More

SImply Meena Kumari
Pakeezah

I am impressed more by the other side of the Pakeezah story which simply relates to the real life of the actress. The fact is that this film was made for Meena Kumari only and was conceived at a time when both Meena and Kamal were head over heels for each other. As for the movie, this is a great m...ovie with the perfectionism of Kamal Amrohi clearly visible. The flow of the events is superb and the direction is simply great. The technology is advanced and the sets are great. However who dominates is again Meena Kumari and that is the the most important fact about the movie. This ends up projecting her again and if you really know about her, you know where the error is - the story of the movie - it does not match the real life events that happened. They were far different and the dreams could only make a movie and not life. Read More

Why rate a country?

But why rate? The reviews have either a patriotic flavour or they have country or anti country sentiments. Tell me honestly - do the reviews look like simple objective comparisons for tourism? Regards- The reviewer
