Headache Yuvraj

Its a pathetic movie

I bet it must have been a big flop even if this have been made during “Ramayana Yug”

lets compare

Yaadein is 5 times better and Om Jai Jagdish is 10 times better than this

though i have not seen Apne but i am sure that portrayal of “Bhai Bhai ka pyar” must have been better in this movie. As per one of my fellow viewer, Apne is 100 times better than Yuvraj.

Don’t go by these critics who has got some bribe or may be threat to write positive about this movie.

there is nothing to talk about the movie.

My head is aching and i am writing this blog entry for social service and to warn my fellow friends about the torture given by this movie.

It starts with poorly written and badly acted “ghatia, sare & basi” dialogues between Katrina & Salman

You feel like pulling your hairs during few dialogues

Continue with family drama of few good & few bad guys in a joint family

Plot is a mixture of 100’s of movies made during 80s about the strength & flaws of Joint Family

Climax was so ill and full of idiocy that the poor & idiot villain, Mama of brothers, can’t get a good quality poison in Austria. After having it in his Asthma dose, Anil Kapoor survive for a full song which he himself sings. On top of it, Boman Irani, a cardiologist cure a poisoned man through heart surgery.

hahahaha

hehehhehe

hoohohhoohoh :)

woo hoo woo hoo wo ho :(

Why the hell i agreed to see the first day show of Subhash Ghai’s movie after a terrible experience of Yaadein

Most pathetic movie of this year

You can laugh on dialogues delivered by hero in Deshdrohi but you can only feel pity on Salman & Katrina for doing this movie

Looks like Boman Irani is in hurry to make more & more money for his future generations during his last days. Otherwise he can’t accept the roles like this.

Guys don’t go & watch this even if somebody is treating you

Even Boom is a better movie than this disaster

there are 2-3 god songs, nice and scenic locations (but we have Google Image search)

1or 2 well acted & touching scene

worst is Subhash & his choreographer fully destroyed the gorgeous Katrina

anybody remember “Jee Karda” from ‘Singh is King’

Flaws Flaws and Flaws

there is no end

Beware and think 1000000…….. before watching this

Hilarious Dostana

Continuing with the recently renewed habit of first day movie shows, today we saw ‘Dostana’

Its a laugh riot for the full first half and fun in the second half.

I don’t remember when did i laugh so much?

hummmm… I think when i saw Hera Pheri in 2000

My stomach was aching!! :D

Its a typical Karan Johar movie, story developed around friendship & love.

More about friendship than love but here we have a gay twist to make you gay (read merry :) )

I am not going to reveal the plot guys. Go and feel yourself ;)

I guarantee, if you are the one who watch movies for entertainment then you will love it.

Don’t look for any message or sensibility about gay and their rights.

Everybody was laughing like anything.

it was nice watching this movie. You realize, how few decisions and circumstances land you in friendship & relationship which you will cherish for the life time? Yes they do fade when people move to different places, separate demographically & new people and friends arrive in your life. But , i think everybody relish those memories (one except it or not ;) )

few scenes were very touching like

- John confess to Abhi & Priyanka about his affection for the friendship among them

- when John & Abhi realize Priyanka’s presence in their life

- the full climax scene and reaction of the lead actors on the situation

few funny scenes like:

- Abhi’s mom discovery about the Gay relationship

- Welcoming of John by Abhi’s mom

- Abhi’s Venice Story and the dancing scene on the tune of ‘Biri Jala Le‘ , these two scenes are real hilarious :D

as his previous productions Karan successfully able to strike a chord somewhere about Love Friendship and relationships :)

While driving back to home, John’s talk about his friendship & childhood dreams remind me of similar thoughts of mine. It was around few months after passing out of my Engg College. I used to curse myself for not studying enough for engg entrance exam and land up at that place. During my days of struggle, I used to feel sad about few failed dreams of mine :( . But after looking at few guys around, i said to myself that these guys are my best presents from the college, the friends, who are like family now.

Love You Guys :)

A lovely weekend

Last Friday, i came back early from the office for preparing a 11g Database Performance Training

but typical of me, lot of phone calls, test match highlights and finally a lovely & memorable late night (or early morning) phone call. This leads to no training and i think Friday evening is supposed to be fun and so it was :D

my friend Subhajeet and colleague has come come down to Bangaluru for a training

and me & Utpal (other colleague and good friend) have promised him for a visit to any tourist spot in Bangaluru on Saturday

i woke up late in the Saturday morning, thanks to my laziness, we shifted the trip to Sunday morning Nandi Hills Sun rise :)

not feeling to do anything, watched recently released hindi movie ‘Fashion’

nice movie and remind you “Why you should have your feet on the ground after touching the sky?”

this changed my mood and so called up Utpal & Subhajeet and planned for a great evening in the Blue Spice. I love this place !! On every Saturday evening, one can listen Live Ghazals and classical Hindi songs

best to spent a soothing evening, Utpal & Subh loved it :)

I called up Dada (Prashant Sir) and confirmed him that early morning we will go to Nandi Hills

I decided to stay at Dada’s place in the night and also convinced Utpal and Subh for the same :)

Me & Dada keep chating on number of issues and slept around 2 am

Anand was trying to sleep in hall with a on TV :D

Dada & he was arguing who is disturbing whom, our bakar or his TV ? ;)

got up at 4 am, make everybody to rub their eyes and we were heading Nandi Hills around 04:40 am

again its Dada’s lovely Wagon R for us :) Dada was driving superbly (or sometime rashly)

he was on 110-120 km/hr and thinking of making it 140

Thanks to Almighty!! We survive a dangerous turn ;)

People at the back seat were frightened and cried in a single voice “Sambhal Key!!”

typical of Dada ” Yaar ab main normal chalunga, jaise hi tez ho bata dena. Mujhe pata hi nanhi lag raha ki kab 120 ho ja rahi hai :D

Dada sath hoon aur koi glitch na ho? ;) we don’t have enough petrol and missed the petrol pump

no petrol pump till Nandi Hills and somehow we managed to get the 2 liter at the foot steps of hill from a small tea vendor ;)

bought it for a price higher than market but didn’t use it because doubting of “Milabat” :D

Dada said “If require we will use it. Hopefully we will make it to the Petrol Pump while returning”

the ticket counter and the gate to the place opens at 6 am, long queue at the ticket window

hell lot of girls & boys with high voltage music on cars, few were drunk and dancing

Dada used his PR skills (BC) and we were among the first one to get the ticket and the First Group to reach the the Sun Rise Point

most of us have seen it in past but today it was a different feeling, from a vertical monolithic mountain

We were lucky and there were no fog or cloud sky clear (rarity at this place)

Sun rose with all its beauty!!

we were feeling as if we were driving the sun to earth, 7 horses of sun ;) !!

oops!! we were 5 :(

no problem! took the extra load with pleasure and bring the sun with 2 less ;)

everybody started photo shoot and witin seconds place was crowded

Dada was displaying his bravery by going to dangerous spots and asking for a snap ;)

all of us were in a bliss and forgot everything but the moment

Sun rise was inspiring and the cool wind was soothing

happy & enjoying, Kash ki Samay Ruk jaye :(

But, It didn’t :(

Anand wasn’t able to control and opened the breakfast packet :D

but nobody else is interested in eating, we roam around the place enjoying the beauty

‘Cute Bangali’ (Subh) was cool and calm, he was trying to take snaps in natural position of people, without giving any chance for a pose ;)

We discovered a new photographer among us, Subh took some mind blowing snaps

roam around to view the scenery & scenic place

had our breakfast, and took rest until Suraj Devata keep showering His love upon us

by 9 am it started getting hot and wind is no longer chilling

we headed towards city and the best part is the drive back to city

It was a nice change from the day to day tensions and worries

It was all gloomy for most of the guys around, somebody

is on the verge of lay off

is not getting the hike or promotion with no communication if he will get or not

is fighting hard with his parents to marry his dream girl

has already told to quit for cost cutting and searching hard for alternate

has lost his saving in the share market

but the smiles & laughs during the return journey were showing the inspiration and happiness after seeing the beauty of Sun Rise

we forgot everything for few hours and had fun in the lap of nature

we took video shoot whcih reflects the everybody’s mood after a heavenly experience

Dada was at his best!! Full Bakar on everything ;)

not to forget snap of the day ‘Illuminati symmetry’ by Anand :D

See the Snaps and the video which displays why Dada has always rocked the stage during the college days with his fluent & non stop bakar ;) he can speak everything on anything adding charm to it :)

Cheers to Life !!
