Happy New Year : Review!


Movie : Happy New Year
Release Date : 24 October 2014
Starring : Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Jacky Shroff, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani
Directed By : Farah Khan
Music : Vishal-Shekhar (With Vishal in a special appearance in the movie)
Lyricist : Irshad Kamil
A typical Farah khan full length film with duration of a little over 179 minutes. The movie is star studded and I would say a very fitting act put together by all of them. Shah Rukh Khan will shine you out with his appearance and style, he is looking as fit and muscular ( more than ever before). Deepika looks fabulously gorgeous in the traditional outfit she wears when she meets the "Charlie's Angels" (Charlie-> Shah Rukh Khan). the movie is built on a very familiar English word "Vengeance". The plot is not a complex one to figure out. The roles were very well worn and torn by the cast. The typical Shah Rukh Khan stamp with extreme delicate emotional expression with perfect sync of situation and well stitched words is missing. Deepika sounds extremely adorable in her dialogues and the character's fetish for English is well carried on the screen. The comic track is very well maintained throughout the movie with Boman and Abhishek playing it majorly in the movie. The disguised diamond heist is very well performed and seems ok. The national audience and Country sentiment worked out and the clever mischief of Charlie is pretty interesting. The songs are not much of my interest in the movie but one songs that makes you skip a beat or two is "Manwa Lage" extremely well sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Arijit Singh. This songs manages to keep your eyes glues to itself till all ends. The video is very different from the usual love song videos (Of course the endless romance between SRK and Deepika is very cute to observe). The screen is well shared with some good comic timing and dialogue imitations of SRK's previous films. Deepika's refrain word's "Haro to haro par ijjat mat utaro", SRK's "Kismat bahut kutti cheez hai, kabhi bhji palat jaati hai" and Abhishek's 'sapera' dance are just an index to the film (Not to forget Sonu's abs and Boman's stud looks). The movie is a pure commercial package, with nice light hearted entertainment. It manages to keep you watching with regular touches of comedy. The dance is terrible as intended and the movie is worth a watch in my view. Go for it if you are a fan of Shah Rukh Khan and not expecting a serious acting  role.
My rating 4 on 5 !!

Happy 2nd first Day at HCL ;)

When I first came to know that I was doing to step into the boot of an employee very soon, I was preparing myself for a life completely different to what I was living. A new beginning from the end of student life, a life with financial freedom (although Dad never said “No” to my demands, but own earning is a different level of financial freedom) added responsibility of being an employee of an MNC. I was very certain of being relocated from Hyderabad. Had my bags up and ready for a journey to a new place with a new life style waiting to be discovered. As expected was called to Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and I set out planning a life in the traffic and all the rush of high class social and corporate living beings of IT Capital of India. Day 1: went on with never ending sequence of signatures. Day 2: a boring yet energetic half day.   Day 3: very excitedly I reached office and was having a nice time cracking jokes and making friends. As if somebody cursed the largest laughter in t...

On My Way To Life

So there it goes, the title of my first fictional writing. Am not sure about people liking it but I am writing it for my own sake and need to put on paper the way I think and to see if I could convince people that I could write stuff. I hope you like this story that I have titled as "On My Way to Life". A story of a boy "Nihar" as I mentioned in my past posts in the blog. Nihar is on a journey called life, as simple as that as all of us are. Whilst on journey he meets many people and many manage to make it to his personal space, only few through the door of his heart. The story about how he settles in for a girl, a girl not so like him Anvita. So a journey of ups and downs it is. I put together the words into a bunch to express enough give an impression of facing the story in front of you. You may feel it or not, I wish you do. I hope my words could manage that at least. Hope you enjoy reading and will try my utter best to be updated on the blog and keep posting re...
