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...

My Aashiqui with Aashiqui 2

" Aashiqui 2 :  where to start frm? Its prequel came in 1990, 2 decades ago and is still fresh on youth's minds!! Before anyone could even try to get over Aashiqui Mohit Suri came up with this miraculous journey of unquenched love and a serious dramatization of emotions !! The love story is as simple as eating a chocolate cake but is shown as beautifully as anyone ever could imagine.Aditya Roy Kap oor has done a fabulous job with the role of Rahul Jaykar an arrogant yet simple outspoken yet silent and a very expressive yet calm character!! Shraddha Kappor was also very good in her role of Arohi and did the role with great dedication!! The music of the movie is another big assests to show off!! After a super hit album of Aashiqui this album had to match up to its huge success and i would say it did but still "old is gold" though i like this album a lot . can't exclude even a single song from the list of favourites "Tum hi ho, Sunn Raha Hai, Ch...

HCL: The name itself is enough :P

November 7 2014, The day I was put into something much more responsible than I have ever felt, deployed! Directly into project. No pre training no assessment, no instruction spell. Just like a snap of fingers, SNAP and poof! Within the last 10 days I had already traveled from 3 three major cities in IT industry,Hyderabad to start and then Banglore (now Bengaluru) for reporting and for the final touch NOIDA (the farthest campus I could possibly be relocated to)in the extreme north, though we were again sent to another sector within NOIDA, anyway I reported on a Friday (Faad Friday) to sector 126 HCLT campus. Out of 4 of the options I was in, I got in voluntarily to work with the team I saw in front of me just a few minutes ago.3 members came from the team to meet me and I found them friendly. And like everything else in HCL project assignation also happened in nick of a time. Since then, till today I have occupied a seat among the team with a very warm welcome into their fa...
