Camera, Action!!! ........ But the Lights???

Watched Sarkar Raj today. It was not half as good as original Sarkar and I was not impressed by Abhishek Bachchan's acting too. Aiswarya Rai was as usual so plastic. Plus it was a badly made movie. There are cameras from all weird angles and it was not because it would give an impact to the scene but just for the heck of it. Then there was intolerable "Govinda" chime in all different notes and pitches for different scenes.

Most interesting trivia, which I observed, was that all the scenes were shot in dimly lit rooms. There's only one remote dim source of light from a dingy window, in every damn scene and all the ultra strategic political decisions by heroes and villains were made without seeing each other's face. May be that's the reason the whole movie was about building a power plant for Maharashtra. It was high time there was some light!!

  1. You can have your opinion, and now i will have mine :). To me Sarkar Raj was even better than Sarkar. If somebody has read the book "the godfather" and remembers Michael, he doesnt die, that was a masterstroke from Ramu i guess. The dim light has a significance in the whole movie, it was all about the darker side and it emphasised what was being shown. Aish has done good in whatever limited role she had to play. The govinda theme in background was jus too good, as it carried off from where sarkar had left. all in all i think ramu finally got some sense after horrible "RGV ki aag".

  2. Anju,
    I wudnt compare the two movies, I guess Sarkar was better off, but thats my personal opinion, but then its really daring on Ramu's part to deviate from the God father line and actually kill AB in the movie.
    Well then only an eccentric could have done that.
    I agree with the above comment on the light part as well as the govinda theme.
    For me it was a good movie a welcome change from the KANK and KKHH and KNPH kind of predictable movies.

25 Random Things About Me

So I have been tagged Ani . And I need to list 25 random things about myself. It's funny that this happens just after I start the 'faboddity' section. So here it goes. Let me start with the one that you already know. I like grocery shopping more than shopping for clothes (I am a girl!) My world is black and white. Most of the times I can work out binary logic to everything. I don't like the grey areas. I hate conventions. I hate traditions for traditions sake. My favorite show during childhood was "I dream of Jeannie" and I almost believed that one day I might find a Jeannie of my own. My favorite blogger is Greatbong . My recent favorite movie is Gulaal. I am completely floored by its music. I am completely in love with Piyush Mishra. And I hate people who admire rubbish of a movie like Slumdog and can't appreciate an Indian movie like Gulaal. On a scale of Slumdog Oscar, Gulaal would win 100 oscars. I work out only to be able to eat fatty food free of gu...

Sibal’s Super Solution

Congress is just too good at this. Can't solve the solution of providing quality education to everyone? Because that requires allowing private investment in education; that requires more institutes; more courses; more teachers; more infrastructure. So what is the solution? Let's just scrap the damn exam! That ought to reduce the stress!! What his foolish supporters do not understand is that it's not the exam that's causing the stress. It's the lack of opportunities available after the exam that's causing it. Seats in good colleges are only sufficient for the students with 95%+. It's a do or die situation. Anything less than 95% and u can say good bye to your dream colleges which in most likelihood would be handful of colleges across the country. I am not really opposing the grading system. But I just think there are bigger issues at hand that need immediate attention rather than this populist measure.

What a ridiculous IDEA, Sirji!

I always thought that IDEA's television ad was irritating at some level. An IDEA can change your life. What relevance does it have with the product? What is so innovative about this service provider? Its public image is no more than a second fiddle to Airtel. The whole "what an IDEA sirji!" is even more irritating. And the fact that they use political revolution as the backdrop for selling a sim card can only be described as self delusion. As if their marketing concept was not irritating enough, their new ad harps on how socialist and poverty driven our economy is. There's a contactor who proposes to the Mantri (minister) to build a shopping mall in khet (agricultural land literally – but I guess they are referring to village as a whole). Here the IDEA man Abhishek Bachchan suggests that janta needs to be asked about their opinion. So he sends sms to all the janta (using IDEA!! Voila!!!) for their opinion. And as if to pacify the communists in India, all the poor fa...
