Neerja -Movie Review !! 


Neerja The movie based on true events that took place on 5th September 1986 where Pan Am flight 73 flight travelling to U.S.A had a layover at Karachi International Airport and was Hijacked by 4 terrorist,The hijackers demand was to free there nationalist who were Imprisoned in our country(India).Neerja Bhanot the Person in charge of the flight took the responsibility with her team to secure the safety of the passengers.But in the end after a day long negotiation Neerja Bhanot was brave enough to loose her life for the safety of others .The movie Directed by Ram Madhavi who has Co-Directed Taare Zameen Par. The movie wasn’t gripping enough some loose ends the build up for the tense moments weren’t there .

The actors Shabana Azmi played the role of the mother and Yogendra Tiku played the father of Neerja.

They were well the saving grace of the film .Sonam Kapoor acted well in bits and pieces ,Specially the last 15 minutes .

The movie could have had a few minutes being sliced about 10-15 minutes could easily be edited out.

The 1st film by bling Unplugged was a great story to be captured for the celluloid especially for the millennial to know about Neerja who saved 359 lives by having the presence of mind and being Brave.

My View ,Go for the movie if you don’t know who Neerja Bhanot was ?

Room -Movie Review 


Room -Can anyone imagine staying in a room without having any access to the outside world or any human contact ,and the only source of entertainment is a television .

For 7 long years ? A story of about the lead actress played by briel Larson who has been kidnapped and kept in a single room with kitchen appliances,single bed ,pot,bath tub giving you a disgusting feeling of the torturous lifestyle she had to go through and how her son jack ,who is oblivious to the outside world and always question whether the people on television are real ?

On his 5th birthday,the lead actress believes jack has grown up and so starts planning to escape so first she tries telling the kidnapper he is sick ,but since he isn’t bothered and ignores her by saying he will try doing something tomorrow ,next day she plans to escape by convincing the kidnapper he is dead ,but he alone takes him away and the movie is all about how the kid manages to escape and tells the police what happens ,they manage to escape and the kid finds it hard to manage in the real world .

A very intense ,movie wrapped in less than 2hours with the lead doing an excellent job acting a role which was challenging and the kid too played the supporting very well .

A serious contender for the best academy film .

Wazir -Movie Review !! 

Wazir- A brave ATS officer (Farhan Akhtar) and a disabled grandmaster (Amitabh Bachchan) face a mysterious and dangerous opponent (Neil Nitin Mukesh).
The film Opens with Danish (Farhan Akthar)and Ruhi (Aditi Rao hydari) driving to the market in Delhi with their only child busy playing on the phone ,when Danish spots a car with a terror group and calls his co-team member and follows the terrorist while chasing the car and once they reach in site and start firing each other,Danish (Farhan Akthar ) realises his child is quite and bleeding,but as they reach the hospital she is declared dead Now the movie actually begins.The story begins moving in the first 15 minutes itself,and using the incident described earlier as a prologue for the story.Amitab Bachan the protagonist of the story is introduced just when you think about where is the game of chess coming? The Movie about just 103 minutes (1Hr43Min)moves fast enough for you to wonder what will happen next ? a thriller based on an Original Story by Vidhu Vinod Chopra,also the Producer of the movie gave an opportunity to Bejoy Nambiar the Director,who many thought debuted with Wazir,but in fact has made two movies earlier (Shaitan 2011) With kalki koechlin ,Rajit kapur and RajumarRao and (David 2013) both the movies which don’t really ring a bell in your mind .But Wazir making it difficult to predict the end was a thrilling movie ,based on a story of game of chess.

The background score builds the tension when needed in the movie ,most noticeable during the moments of argument between Neil Nitin Mukesh and Farhan Akthar and the moment when Farhan Akthar is chasing Amitab Bachan and trying to stop him going to the airport .

A lot of the movies these days are working on the background music and mostly working on a track that might become more popluar then the rest and “Atrangi Yaari” is one such song .This movie had to release 6 months ago ,but finally released in January this year and it was worth the wait .Wazir – Go ahead and watch this one.

Storytelling Vs telling a lie.

 The other day, I was going through an interview when this thought struck me ,are Lies & Storytelling the same ?We lie to hide the truth from others, we lie because we cannot admit the truth ,We lie because we fear speaking out the truth as it will leave us alone,we might be hurting somebody if we speak up the truth .Ok that’s lying then what’s storytelling ? Storytelling is the power of telling stories that must have happened ,A piece of News that you have heard and you narrate it in a little dramatic way to get the attention of the listener .But Now if you actually see there is a thin line of a difference amongst the two in both forms we Lie to defend ourself even though we know we are wrong,guilty of taking the wrong side ,but again it might seem wrong to you ,but it might be the right thing for the speaker .At the same time stories we tell to entertain ,to make our imaginations run wild to impress how good we are at speaking ,Stories transform us to a magical place to a make believe world for us it might be dreaming while others laugh and say he is living with such a big lie.But for us its a fantasy a world that we create for ourself to be happy and defining the reality in others terms the truth that we know ,,but imagination is a lie for others ,but we are living by being hopeful for things to turnaround .

Quiet !!!

Quiet-The power of the introverts In a world that can’t stop talking by Susan Cain .
A well researched ,stimulating book on the minds of introverts and extroverts and the thin line that separates the two .Examples of some well known personalities to Relate with and identifying oneself ,1st person narration makes the book even more interesting .
A book that makes you understand that being Quiet is all right and normal .
Susan Cain the author and the force behind the Quiet  revolution was 1st introduced to me by her Tedtalk by the same topic power of introverts a few years ago ,but today the book has helped me to understand the power of silence ,this is one book you must read in 2016 and it would change the way you see things .
What are you waiting for ?
Start your new year ,With a new you .
