Reviewed Orkut

Orkut - does it rule your life too?

The world of ‘Orkutting’ has caught up with today’s GenX kids. It has become an addiction to most people and they proudly call themselves ‘Orkut addicts’. I am sure there is no one who doesn’t know what Orkut is all about. Orkut is just another community website used for social networking. What ...Read more

Reviewed Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna

Karan Ko Alvida Kehna...

Hello people.. I was surprised at the reaction of public to Karan Johar’s latest movie. Going by Karan’s standards, KANK was no different. The same rona dhona, melodrama, emotional idiotic dialogues, colourful backdrop, all in all a complete Bollywood package. But why does the public seem out...Read more

PROOF OF (EXTRATERRESTRIAL) LIFE!!
Deception Point - Dan Brown

Hey, that was a cool review. Although I would say you let out quite a lot of the story. Its a very enjoyable novel. I would say fiction at its best. Keep penning. Saakshi

Dissapointing movie
Munna Bhai M.B.B.S

Its simply humourous. Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani and Arshad have done so well, it is impossible not to like the movie. As for your opinion, you had a lot of expectations and hence you feel its not good. I haven't seen Funtoosh but I think you can never compare Munnabhai to another movie. Its a cl...ass apart. Kindly edit your review. SaakshiRead More

Reviewed Gone With The Wind - Margaret Mitchell

An Unforgettable saga.......

More than half a century after its initial publication, Gone with the wind is still the most popular and the most admired love story. It is the love story of Scarlett O?Hara and Rhett Butler in the backdrop of the American war. The novel was penned by Margaret Mitchell, an American author. It wo...Read more

A brilliant work of fiction
The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown

I have heard enough of the book but haven't yet found time to read it though.... Good to see a well penned review. I appreciate your efforts to learn more about the painting and christianity. I hope to read it soon as you haven't revealed much about the novel in your review but you certainly have... increased my curiosity. keep penning, Saakshi.Read More

Review of Mansfield Park
Mansfield Park - Jane Austen

I agree with you that this is not one of Jane Austen's best. But it certainly is not her weakest. There is another called Northanger Abbey. Its really very boring and lacks maturity. But when you compare with the likes of sense and sensibility, pride and prejudice and Emma, mansfield park lacks the ...flow. In my opinion, mansfield park brings about the complexities in the human relationships. Fanny's family has been described well and her visit to her family after many years is depicted well. But ofcourse, the romance is certainly lacking. The character of Fanny is weak. One cannot compare her with Elizabeth Bennet. Elizabeth is an unforgettable character much like the Scarlett O'hara of Gone with the wind. Great review though. Keep penning. -SaakshiRead More

SECURITY or FEAR OF PEOPLE
Cricket

This is the first time I have rated a review low. But I am not sorry for it. I agree with Chhail absolutely. We are worried only about the security in Pak and it is not only us, the entire world is worried about it. None would want to tour your country willingly. Accept that. Its rather brave of... Sourav and the other Indians who declared that they would tour Pak and if the reports are to be believed, they might take their families too! WE are certainly stronger than the Pakistani cricketers and we shall not tolerate anybody questioning our strengths both onfield and off-field. I do not understand who gave you the idea that we do not stand by our players. Yes, it is true that we worship cricket and we love our cricketers and we never hesitate to support and stand by them when things go wrong. You forget that it was the Pakistanis who welcomed their defeated cricketers after the 1999 world cup with protests and public burning of Wasim Akram's idols. We Indians are too well bred and well educated to show such a conduct to anybody, whether Indian or not!!! A piece of advice - Think before you dish out anything as bad as that b'coz we do not hesitate to give back as good as we get. And thats a lovely ending Chhail, JAI HIND. -Saakshi.Read More

Welcome to MS. Great way to start with a revu on one of the Ekta soaps. Ugh! I am sure KTH is taking the same path as the rest of her soaps. Great review. But hey, if u do not recommend the soap then why rate it 5 stars? Neways, keep penning. -Saakshi.

Stretchy story
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi

I am glad that people hate the soap just as I do. I do not watch this anymore. I suggest u stop watching the damn serial. Tulsi is a character I hate very much and the actress, Smriti really adds to it by overdoing everything. Anyways, that was a good revu. Hope to find ur revus on non-Ekta ...topics as well.

A Tragedy gone sour
Maqbool

great movie and a great revu too. I agree that it is scary, as is Macbeth. But nevertheless, I loved the movie and would gladly watch it again. In my opinion, movies are not just entertainment, they act as a medium of communication too. Movies like Maqbool, Maachis and the likes have something to... say to the world and they are realistic and leave a message for the masses. I think Maqbool has been successful in this respect.

Awful
Kal Ho Naa Ho

Hi Rajat, Welome to MS. That was a very good revu. I enjoyed reading it very much. U r absolutely right abt the movie. It is certainly the worst movie of the year. But everyone seems to hv loved the movie. B'coz most people are either Shahrukh fans or Preity fans or Karan fans or fans of the... so-called light romantic movies. There was no chemistry among any of the actors and it was an insult to Rajesh Khannaji. Happy New Year and keep penning, Saakshi.Read More
