#07: Raajneeti - A safe game by Jha.

Ath Sri Mahabharat Katha… Has another awaited and anticipated to become a blockbuster movie stand on Prakash Jha standards?

May be, may not be… Six times national award winner Prakash Jha had crafted the modern Mahabharat named Raajneeti. Though viewers had expected to watch current Indian politics, Prakash Jha, unlike his earlier movies, played safe this time and portrayed the Indian epic.

A kind of right casting for the roles of Duryodhan, Karna, Arjuna or Krishna, but in the name of success he overplayed Arjuna against Krishna. Ranbir, being more popular amongst youth, was given more importance in the movie than Nana patekar to overturn the rules of politics. Arjun (Rampal) was possessing character of Angry Bhima more than the given one of Yudhishthira.

Katrina’s character would have become stronger in the end if she had not played Draupadi in the first half. Though unlike Sarkar or Sarkar Raj showing current political dilemma, Raajneeti still is a good option to turn back in the Indian history and freshen up. Nice to see Manoj Bajpai’s Come back. Hope, baki sab actors ko ab Karaara Jawaab Milega…! – DJ.

    U r right. I think nana patekar played 2 role krishna as well as sakuni. N the role i like the most is karna. In real mahabharat as well as in movie.

#14: Dardura Special. Hail Darduras...!

Darduras are here... Darduras are there... These Darduras are everywhere...! First I need to explain what is Dardura? But the right question is who is Dardura? He/she is a kind of species of human being. You can say either is an alien that looks like human being. "Yatra dardura vaktarah, tatra maun hi shobhe chhe..." like of an ukti is there in Sanskrit. Which means when frogs are lecturing around you, better you keep silence. Hope now you have identified the Dardura as it's always there every next step of our life. The pity is you can't do anything with these Darduras. They are either your relatives or your elders or the ones you ought to respect. No wonder they have never been to Junagadh yet they'll advise you how to climb Mount Everest. They'll keep interfering your life untill you really feel there's no life in your life. You are angry. You wanna kill them. You wanna eat them. But these darduras are eternal creatures. Nainam chhindati shashtrani, ...

#27: And its not Crusade v/s Jihad

Dove World Outreach Center… A small, 50 member non-denominational charismatic Christian church in Gainesville, Florida has become famous worldwide all of a sudden. Reason: Terry Jones, a man behind, who wish to celebrate "International Burn a Koran (Quran) Day", during which church members would hold book burnings of the Quran, on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks…! The oldest and simplest way to become famous is revealed once again in above act. It’s not when you feel comfortable, it’s to make others feel uncomfortable. It’s not an instant or insane action. It’s a planned, well organized strategy to get noticeable enough in the eyes of world. In 2009, Dove World posted a sign on its lawn which stated in large red letters "Islam is of the Devil" and now it is going to higher level with the event of burning Quran. Terry Jones has however said that he hopes the event does not lead to violence. (Then why the bloody hell you announced the senseless event.)...

There’s no need to do advance booking in any multiplex or to turn on your home theatre or laptop to see this film nor you need to buy any pirated CD/DVD (which you either shouldn’t) to watch it and just not need to worry about your money for paisa vasool guarantee of the film.
