Heathrow threw a curveball with a surprise second immigration, making for a drama-filled New Year's Eve. Their visit, a precious third trip, warmed my heart like no other, their presence was a gift beyond measure. #GratefulHeart</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><b>Reconnecting with India:</b> After 6.5 years, I finally returned to India in July-August. It was a sensory whirlwind – mind-boggling, tiring, and breathtakingly beautiful all at once. I wouldn't trade it for anything, and wouldn't mind an encore sooner! #Homecoming</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><b>Festivals and Milestones:</b> The festival season painted 2023 with vibrant hues. The festive season arrived with Ganesha's late entrance in September, followed by October's dazzling crescendo - Anusha's Arangetram. #Ganesha</span></p><p><b style="font-family: Poppins;">Anusha's Graceful Swan Dance: </b><span style="font-family: Poppins;">From a bright-eyed 7-year-old in 2013 to a mesmerizing Bharatnatyam swan in 2023, my niece Anusha's arangetram in October was a sight to behold. She captivated everyone with her talent and poise, mesmerizing the audience with her debut Bharatnatyam performance, it was truly magical. </span><span style="font-family: Poppins;">#Bharatnatyam</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><b>Rekindling Connections:</b> November's Diwali brought a flurry of luncheons and celebrations, allowing me to reconnect with a diverse group of friends, some unseen for over a year. Thanksgiving was a delicious blend of familiar faces - Bengalis, Telangites, Kannadigas, and Mumbai Tam Brahams. It was a true melting pot, filled with laughter and good cheer. #Diwali #ThanksgivingMeltingPot</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><b>Holiday Indulgence and Socializing:</b> This Thanksgiving/Christmas season, I embraced the festive spirit with a shopping spree! New phone, new smartwatch, new Kindle – I treated myself right. My retail therapy spree is done for now, until next year's Thanksgiving rolls around. </span><span style="font-family: Poppins;">#MakingMemories, #SocialConnections</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><b>Merrymaking and Milestones:</b> Christmas wasn't just about gifts – it was about two back-to-back parties with the same amazing crew! I savored every moment, realizing how much more social I've been this year compared to the past. And to cap it all off, another party awaits on the 31st! A fitting goodbye to 2023 and a joyous welcome to 2024. </span><span style="font-family: Poppins;">#CelebratingFriendships </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><b>Looking Ahead with Gratitude: </b></span><span style="font-family: Poppins;">As I bid farewell to 2023, I do so with a heart overflowing with gratitude. It was a year of milestones achieved, connections strengthened, and memories made. I am excited to see what 2024 holds and wish everyone reading this a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">To all of you reading this, wishing you a 2024 filled with immense happiness and all your dreams coming true!</span></p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">#NewYearNewDreams, </span><span style="font-family: Poppins;">#LookingForwardTo2024</span><p></p>Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15725366523409396530noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601434774724808010.post-55918325076101063822023-12-24T23:07:00.002-06:002023-12-24T23:07:39.498-06:00 Salaar: A Dystopian Game of Thrones on Steroids (and Subtitles)<p><br /></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGkBdf8ju9MzMAbTPTP7y0qaoZpTyEXppcDvCBqQEwXddPXqMwvwvWcn6lX0zhZVQD0vBXO8cznpMBYXdME0z0ur7IgRltYn71DeCJDtti89EhS2TWR4vo93-foNUS_l2CaaVYkHkSR21VVFvvS_u1wJbO9CtPxUXF5OIEeRYjAGHQKkQZ7PMwA48UYR0/s1440/Salaar.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGkBdf8ju9MzMAbTPTP7y0qaoZpTyEXppcDvCBqQEwXddPXqMwvwvWcn6lX0zhZVQD0vBXO8cznpMBYXdME0z0ur7IgRltYn71DeCJDtti89EhS2TWR4vo93-foNUS_l2CaaVYkHkSR21VVFvvS_u1wJbO9CtPxUXF5OIEeRYjAGHQKkQZ7PMwA48UYR0/s320/Salaar.jpeg" width="213" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Image Courtesy: RottenTomatoes</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">I caught this one on Thursday, 12-21-2023, at Cinemark Totem Lake. Brace yourself, folks, because this wasn't your average first-day-first-show experience. In the US of A, we're a reserved bunch, so don't expect Bollywood-style chair-dancing at every item number. We might clap politely, maybe even mutter a "wow" under our breath, but that's about it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Now, Salaar. Imagine Game of Thrones hopped up on Red Bull and took a wrong turn at Albuquerque. That's Khansar, a dystopian playground where warring tribes with animal totems (think Game of Thrones meets the Serengeti) squabble under the watchful eye of a dysfunctional royal family. It's like a pressure cooker full of political intrigue, ready to explode at any moment.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Prabhas, bless his ripped-shirt-wearing heart, returns to his comfort zone of action-drama as Deva. He emotes with his biceps more than his eyebrows, but hey, it works. Prashanth Neel finally unlocks the "body language = acting" cheat code that only Rajamouli had cracked before.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">The first half? Let's just say Khansar's tourism board wouldn't be thrilled. It's a bit of a slog, throwing characters and plot points at you like confetti at a Telugu wedding. But then BAM! Interval block hits you harder than a rogue elephant in a china shop. Think Baahubali on steroids, and you're getting close.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">The action sequences? Neel's bread and butter, baby. Explosions, flying vehicles(don't ask), Prabhas single-handedly dismantling entire armies – it's like Michael Bay took a vacation to Khansar. And the best part? We, the audience, are basically Shruti Haasan in this movie. We're just trying to figure out why everyone wants her dead and why this brooding hunk named Deva is the only one who can save her (while also having major bro issues with the king, played by the ever-so-charming Prithviraj Sukumaran).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">The plot? Thicker than a Maharaja's gravy. It's like a lasagna with layers of political machinations, family feuds, and enough backstabbing to fill a Shakespearean play. Kannada fans might recognize some Ugramm vibes, but for everyone else, it's a fresh (and slightly bonkers) take on dystopian drama.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">What rocked my boat:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Khansar: This place is like Mordor meets Burning Man, and I'm here for it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Tribal swag: Those animal totems? Cooler than a pet velociraptor (although probably less cuddly).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Political intrigue: Enough twists and turns to make your head spin like a Sufi dancer.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Prabhas + Prithviraj bromance (or is it frenemy-ship?): Watching these two titans clash is like popcorn for the soul.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">What made me want to throw popcorn at the screen:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Shruti Haasan's accent: It went from NRI to full-blown Jersey Shore in 0.2 seconds. Girl, dial it back!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Prabhas's one-man-army routine: We get it, you're strong. Can we give the other characters a chance to breathe (and maybe punch someone)?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Overall, Salaar is a wild ride through a Telugu Game of Thrones fever dream. It's not perfect, but it's definitely entertaining. So grab your subtitles, popcorn, and maybe a stress ball (things get intense), and prepare to be transported to Khansar. Just don't ask me to explain the plot – even the subtitles got lost in that labyrinth. See you for Part 2, Shouranga Parvam, where hopefully things get a little less bonkers (or maybe even more, who knows with Salaar?).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Poppins;">#Salaar, #DystopianWorld, #PrashantNeel, #Khansar</span></p>Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15725366523409396530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601434774724808010.post-29880050073153490682023-12-24T22:39:00.004-06:002023-12-30T16:42:20.478-06:00Jigarthanda Double X Movie Review: A Hilariously Honest Take<p><span style="font-family: Poppins;"> </span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj4E6wT1IeO_GqwAaX6AhrsgU5oLPXdEmj8XjXWkE193TmaQJ3RIJ8h6cxYEWyCHp6JMJXSQSYbGNhmjkK7CvuuZ8a2MBEsxamelAbSbrFei9CsiLGt4qAZLWAaY11gWtnrFY_ZySzrwC6wveG-vkR1Zdud_oScXh1dfeMFI6Dq121ItMbC3tVkgQKAdA/s1440/JigarthandaDoubleX.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj4E6wT1IeO_GqwAaX6AhrsgU5oLPXdEmj8XjXWkE193TmaQJ3RIJ8h6cxYEWyCHp6JMJXSQSYbGNhmjkK7CvuuZ8a2MBEsxamelAbSbrFei9CsiLGt4qAZLWAaY11gWtnrFY_ZySzrwC6wveG-vkR1Zdud_oScXh1dfeMFI6Dq121ItMbC3tVkgQKAdA/s320/JigarthandaDoubleX.jpeg" width="213" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Poppins;">Image Courtesy: IMDb</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p><span face=""Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Poppins; white-space-collapse: preserve;">My mind is officially blown, and my sides are still aching from laughter and my heart still aches from the emotions. Forget "origin stories," this is basically Sethu's accidental conception movie. Karthik Subbaraj, you magnificent masala maestro, you've done it again!</span></p><p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:145" style="background-color: white; margin: 24px 0px; word-break: break-word;"><span face="Google Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif" style="color: #1f1f1f;"><span style="font-family: Poppins; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This film isn't just entertainment; it's a life coach disguised as a gangster flick. It screams, "Cinema can change the world, baby!" while simultaneously tripping over its own shoelaces and giggling maniacally. Talk about breaking the fourth wall – this one jackhammers the whole damn building.
And the characters? Whew, buckle up for a rollercoaster of bad-boy brilliance. SJ Surya is back, batting cinematic home runs like it's nobody's business. But the real MVP is Raghava Lawrance. This dude just went full Daniel Day-Lewis, digging so deep into his acting depths he probably needs a scuba suit. Forget horror comedies, this guy just delivered a masterclass in "whoa, where did that come from?!"
My only complaint? Not seeing this bad boy on the big screen. Netflix can't contain this explosion of epic proportions. But hey, at least I can rewatch it a million times and still discover new layers of absurdity. Speaking of layers, did you catch that hint at Jigarthanda Triple XXX?
<b>Verdict:</b> Ditch the fruitcake this Christmas, binge-watch Jigarthanda Double X instead. It's the gift that keeps on giving – laughter, tears, and maybe a touch of existential dread. But hey, that's just the masala talking. 5 out of 5 chilis (with a side of Pepto-Bismol, just in case).
<b>P.S.</b> Karthik Subbaraj, you've created a cinematic universe that's as diverse as a Mumbai marketplace. Keep the surprises coming, and we'll keep watching, even if it means learning Tamil just to understand the inside jokes!</span></span></p><p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:145" style="background-color: white; margin: 24px 0px; word-break: break-word;"><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Poppins;">#JigarthandaDoubleXplosion, #KarthikSubbaraj</span></span></p>Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15725366523409396530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601434774724808010.post-64242296311443185462023-12-06T00:23:00.003-06:002023-12-30T16:42:55.753-06:00Sam Bahadur: The Movie That's Like Your Favorite Pair of Jeans - A Bit Faded, But Still Comfy AF<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://static.tnn.in/thumb/msid-105003061,thumbsize-51376,width-1280,height-720,resizemode-75/105003061.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="181" src="https://static.tnn.in/thumb/msid-105003061,thumbsize-51376,width-1280,height-720,resizemode-75/105003061.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Image Courtesy: timesnow.com</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I watched Sam Bahadur the same day I watched Animal.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> Talk about a cinematic whiplash!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> One's a biopic about a war hero,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> the other's about Muppets on cocaine.</span></p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:101" style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">Sam Bahadur, aka Sam Hormusji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw (seriously, who comes up with these names?), was India's first Field Marshal, a badass who saw more action than a Bollywood stuntman. From fighting alongside the British in Burma to becoming India's first FM in 1973, this dude was a legend. ️</p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><p data-sourcepos="9:1-9:257" style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">But cramming all that life into 3 hours is like trying to fit Sam's personality into a size XS kurta. Vicky Kaushal does his best to channel Sam's swagger and mustache, but even he can't save the movie from feeling a bit...shortchanged. #MissedOpportunities</p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><p data-sourcepos="11:1-11:52" style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">Director Meghna Gulzar, who usually knocks it out of the park with films like Talvar and Raazi, stumbles here. The movie jumps around like a kid hopped up on sugar, leaving you feeling like you missed half the story. #BiopicBingeWorthy</p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><p data-sourcepos="13:1-13:323" style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">One minute you're in WW2, the next you're celebrating Independence Day, then BAM! China's at the border and Sam's giving everyone the stink eye. The whole "politics behind Sam not getting the top job" thing is brushed over faster than you can say "Operation Polo," leaving you with more questions than a quizzical parrot.</p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><p data-sourcepos="15:1-15:278" style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">Basically, this biopic feels watered down, like they ran out of chai and had to use lukewarm water instead. ☕️ It's a story begging for a web series, where we can dive deep into Sam's epic life, his mischievous streak, and all the juicy behind-the-scenes drama. #WebSeriesNeeded</p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><p data-sourcepos="17:1-17:231" style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">So, should you watch it? Well, if you wanna see Vicky Kaushal rock a killer mustache and perfect Sam's "I-told-you-so" glare, then go for it. Otherwise, as Sam himself might say, "Save your rupees and watch it on Zee5, sweetie." #BollywoodBudget #OTTChillax</p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><p data-sourcepos="19:1-19:200" style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">P.S. I'm still not sure what Manekshaw has against doors. Every time he enters a room, it's gotta be with a dramatic flourish and a door slam that could wake the dead. #DramaKing #DoorSlamDynasty</p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><p data-sourcepos="21:1-21:126" style="background-color: white; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: "Google Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">P.P.S.

With "Animal," he takes his signature style to the next level, transforming his trademark intensity into a relentless barrage of shock value that will have you cringing, chuckling, and scratching your head in bewilderment.
The film follows the story of a man who loves his father so much that he's willing to do anything to protect him, even if it means killing a lot of people along the way. The protagonist, played with manic intensity by Ranbir Kapoor, is a walking contradiction – he's a devoted family man who also happens to be a violent psychopath.</span></span></p><p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:397" style="background-color: white; margin: 24px 0px; word-break: break-word;"><span face="Google Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif" style="color: #1f1f1f;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">I had the dubious pleasure of witnessing this cinematic spectacle on the big screen, and I left the theater feeling like I'd just been subjected to a bizarre acid trip. Vanga, armed with what must have been a script fueled by an excessive amount of caffeine and a deep fascination with men's undergarments, has crafted a film that could have been a gripping tale of dynastic politics and toxic family dynamics, but instead devolves into a chaotic mess of crude humor, gratuitous violence, and a plot that seems to have been cobbled together from leftover scenes from a dozen different movies.
The protagonist, played with manic intensity by Ranbir Kapoor, is a walking embodiment of daddy issues, constantly seeking the approval of his distant and domineering father. His manic love for his father, however, is no different from the antagonist's murderous obsession, leaving the audience struggling to find a character to root for.
Vanga's preoccupation with the protagonist's nether regions is a recurring theme, with more screen time dedicated to discussions of underwear washing techniques and the proper hand position for holding oneself while urinating than to actual character development. The female characters, when not subjected to the protagonist's machismo or left to lament their helplessness, are reduced to mere props, devoid of any depth or agency.
While Kapoor's performance is undoubtedly a highlight, his character remains one-dimensional, trapped in a cycle of rage and desperate for paternal validation. The father-son dynamic, with its potential for a complex exploration of power and control, is never fully explored, leaving the audience with more questions than answers.
In conclusion, "Animal" is a film that could have been a wild ride, but instead, it's a bumpy journey through a landscape of cringe-worthy humor, excessive violence, and underdeveloped characters. If you're seeking a film with substance and depth, you're better off watching paint dry. However, if you're looking for a cinematic equivalent of a bad acid trip, "Animal" might just be your ticket to oblivion.
<b>Verdict:</b> Proceed with extreme caution, or risk being scarred for life.</span></span></p>Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15725366523409396530noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601434774724808010.post-30737454701333671342023-12-04T20:39:00.005-06:002023-12-04T21:48:41.331-06:00Return to Action --- Maybe???<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSyx1Tsab7q0MfbjfU0tgHFAWSN99JHZz1_NqUWgr8LzhUMQ1kR-dSaLTQ3Q1B2" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="250" height="200" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSyx1Tsab7q0MfbjfU0tgHFAWSN99JHZz1_NqUWgr8LzhUMQ1kR-dSaLTQ3Q1B2" width="250" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Hello, my dear readers! I know, I know, it's been a while since I last posted anything on this blog. In fact, it's been almost 3 years since I last updated you on my life, my thoughts, and my opinions. What can I say? Life happened. And by life, I mean a global pandemic, a zombie apocalypse, and an alien invasion. Okay, maybe not the last two, but it sure felt like it sometimes. #LifeIsTough</p><p>But I'm back now, and I'm ready to share with you some of the things that I've learned, experienced, and enjoyed during my hiatus. I hope you're ready for some juicy stories, some hilarious anecdotes, and some profound insights. Or at least, some mildly amusing ramblings. #RamblingModeOn</p><p>So, what have I been up to since 2023? Well, let me tell you in the next post.... #SequelOn</p><p>#BackFromHiatus #BloggingAgain #MissedYouAll #2023WasCrazy</p>Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15725366523409396530noreply@blogger.com3Seattle, WA, USA47.6061389 -122.332848119.295905063821152 -157.4890981 75.916372736178843 -87.1765981tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601434774724808010.post-38931760818676466842020-06-20T19:30:00.002-05:002020-06-20T20:35:59.477-05:00The Nepotism Saga<font size="5">nep·o·tism </font><div><i><font size="5">noun</font></i></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: left;">the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs</div></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>This is the official definition of <i>Nepotism</i>, it has been a prevalent practice since eons. Monarchy was the earliest form of Nepotism. In modern era it has evolved into a form of its own at least in India where often businesses (public traded corporations at that) are often handed down from father to son or at least within the family to the exclusion of talent and capability.</div><div><br /></div><div>The primary examples are many: Tatas, Birlas, Ambanis, Hindjuas... </div><div><br /></div><div>Nepotism is often seen in its extreme in the Hindi Film Industry, this was brought out in public fracas between Kangana Ranaut and Karan Johar in his own show <i>Koffee with Karan</i> where Ms. Ranaut called him the flagbearer of nepotism and instead of introspection at that time, Mr. Johar proudly owned to the nepotism slogan going so far to co-opt Saif Ali Khan, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt into the fracas.</div><div><br /></div><div>The debate was reignited time and time again especially during the awards show timeframe when good, character driven content was overlooked to award mediocrity and star kids specifically. This was the accepted norm, where the movie business operated in the form of cliques and nobody complained about it openly unless they wanted to be stonewalled by the industry.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then came the suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput and the debate regarding nepotism has reared its head again in a fierce and unrelenting form, with people taking out all their angst and anger on the social media.</div><div><br /></div><div>Mr. Rajput is being considered as a victim of the cronyism and nepotism that exists in the industry, people felt that he was not being given his due and the cliques did not allow for this considerably talented actor to flourish in the trade. While this might have been a factor, it should not be glossed over that he was being treated for clinical depression and the lack of any note when he took this extreme step also throws confusion on the exact causes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Whatever be the case, it is a accepted fact that the ruthless cutthroat and highly secretive way that the Hindi Film Industry works was a contributor to his mental state in some form or shape. It was in some shape or form responsible for being a factor in his taking the extreme step. </div><div><br /></div><div>The industry needs to clean up its act and a balance of power must be restored where meritocracy must be allowed to flourish and mediocrity must be rejected, it also largely rests on us - <b>THE COMMON PEOPLE</b> to ensure that merit is allowed to succeed and the products of nepotism and cronyism are rejected.</div><div><br /></div><div>If that means you boycott the movies of star kids then so be it. For every star kid who gets a double or triple opportunity to survive in the industry, there is a Sushant Singh Rajput who is so dejected and broken that he takes the extreme step of taking his own life. </div><div><br /></div><div>Rest In Peace Sushant!!!! All the thoughts, prayer and strength to your family, and friends, and fans to carry on without you....</div><div><br /></div><div>The common man needs to choose and choose responsibly. The ball is now in our court, lets make it count. </div>Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15725366523409396530noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601434774724808010.post-60393341315589952962020-06-19T21:20:00.000-05:002020-06-19T21:20:15.785-05:00Reset, Skip or Fast Forward 2020Its seems like eons ago that we all celebrated the turn of the clock which marked to beginning of a new decade.

This year the format for the tournament has changed from the 4 groups, super 8's semifinals and finals to a round robin format.<br />
<br />
In this year's tournament, the format is round robin, where every team will play every other team and the top 4 teams will battle it out in the semis. This makes the tournament more interesting as the fight will be between all the teams and they all have an equal chance of making it through the top 4.<br />
<br />
Here are my picks for the top 4 this year:<br />
<ol>
<li>England</li>
<li><strike>West Indies</strike></li>
<li>India</li>
<li><strike>Bangladesh</strike></li>
</ol>
<div>
I feel that this world cup more than others has an opportunity to throw more surprises than the previous world cups. The round-robin format can throw up more than a few unexpected results based off which team is performing well on its given day.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>Update 1:</b> 2 of my wildcards have already failed to qualify. India has qualified for the Semi-Finals on the basis of their win against Bangladesh on 07/02, Australia is the other team that has made it to the Semis. Bangladesh and West Indies's campaigns are now over<br />
<br />
<b>Update 2: </b>3rd July 2019 - England has qualified for the top 4 and the Semi-Finals for the first time since 1992. My prediction rate has been 50% with 2 of my teams progressing and both my wildcards crashing out of the tournament.<br />
<br />
<b>Update 3: </b>11th July 2019 - India is out of the World Cup after losing to NZ by 18 runs. England has also kicked Australia out of the World Cup to qualify for the finals for the first time in 27 years. Now for the first time since 1987 we have two teams in the final who have never won the world cup before. ENGLAND v NEW ZEALAND - it will be a cracker of a contest.<br />
<br /></div>

Here is the Schedule for the world cup for 2019, I will populate the results as and when the match finishes</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I have served. I will be of service</i></blockquote>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These are the guiding principles by which everyone who serves the High Table is supposed to live by. Everybody in the John Wick universe works for the High Table, you cross the High Table, your life is forfeit.<br />
<br />
John Wick: Chapter 3 is rightly titled <b>PARABELLUM </b>which means: <i>Prepare for War</i>. War explodes into the screen figuratively and literally right from the getgo. John Wick 3 starts immediately after the end of John Wick 2 with John Wick set to be declared excommunicado in the next 1 hour and the bounty on his head going open and international at the same time. John is literally on the run since every door associated with The Continental and the High Table is now closed to him and all services are denied.<br />
<br />
The movie peels another layer in the onion that I mentioned in the <a href="https://outspokenandtrue.blogspot.com/2019/06/john-wick-chapter-1-john-wick-chapter-2.html" target="_blank">previous post</a> as we go deeper into the lore of how the High Table and this Society is supposed to work. The movie has significant religious undertones as you come across terms like: <i>"adjudicator", "penance", "deconsecrate". </i>All the characters in this world are heavily tattooed in religious motifs and iconography which has its own language that will need to be deciphered maybe in a separate post.<br />
<br />
We also know more about John Wick's background and his upbringing, he's a Belarusian who was known as <i>"Jardani Jonovich". </i>The movie has enough meat and bones left in it to go into another part and Keanu Reeves has enough has a character arc that can easily justify the 4th movie.<br />
<br />
The fight sequences are amazingly choreographed, the gun-fu fights are a treat to watch. the action sequences are also taken up a notch with John Wick using knives, machetes and even horses to kick the crap out of his enemies. Halle Berry provides a perfect foil for him and her dogs take the highlight for the fight in Casablanca Morroco.<br />
<br />
John Wick has set the bar high for the action genre with the way things are choreographed, the fights actions and the action set pieces almost take a dance form.<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b> Must Watch for action fans....</div>

John Wick: Chapter 1 which came out in 2014 introduced us to the world of John Wick - a parallel world of criminals, assassins, enablers, and bosses who share the same Earth as us but their values and dimensions run parallel to ours.<br />
<br />
This world is full of rules and contracts, you break a rule you lose a limb, you break many you lose your life. You break the code of life that governs this world you are excommunicated (basically you die an ignoble death) and in a world which has the honor at its core, it is not a good way to go.<br />
<br />
We were given a peek at this complex world and the titular John Wick who is an oddity in this world as well, he's the Boogeyman, the Baba Yaga, the one who can kill 8 people in a bar with a pencil. John is retired, but his dog is murdered and that brings him back into the world that he had once left behind.<br />

John Wick: Chapter 2 continued the world building started in John Wick: Chapter 1. This one peeled back the first layer of the onion to introduce the viewers to the group that rules this parallel world. The High Table, referenced only a few times in this movie, the politics and the infighting that goes on in this group is exposed when John is made to honor a marker that was given out by him to one of the aspiring High Table bosses Santino D'Antonio.<br />
<br />
Betrayal is nothing new for John Wick, that he gets a contract put out on him for fulling his marker by the same man who asked him to fulfill it. We also find out the power wielded by the managers of 'The Continental' the hotel used by everybody in John Wick's business. John also has allies in the form of the Bowery King who runs the network of homeless assassins and the manager of the New York Continental who considers John his friend.<br />
<br />
At the end of John Wick 2, John is on the run having broken THE CARDINAL rule of The Continental by killing Santino D'Antonio on The Continental New York's premise and thus is made excommunicado from The Continental and the associated fraternity. The High Table not liking the killing of one of their own by a mere hitman doubles the open contract on John Wick to $14mn and makes it international.<br />
<br />
John Wick: Chapter 2 ends with John on the run and the entire might of the High Table out and gunning for him...<br />

Earlier the media in India was unbiased, they reported the facts as they were gathered. There was a tendency to lean towards the left and socialist causes mostly due to the socialist principles on which the country was founded and which formed the belief system of the then largest political party in the country. But even with this bias every side used to get at least a customary hearing.<br />
<br />
Alas, with the emergence of capitalist conglomerates expanding their tentacles into global markets and the news being more and more focused on leading the viewer to a particular ideology, the narrative has shifted from being people and fact centric to being more ideology centric<br />
<br />
Political parties have been very quick to cash into this phenomenon with the quid-pro-quo arrangements being established with different news channels. Earlier the country used to consume news at a fixed time in noon or at 7 or 8 PM at night, but now with the emergency of 24 X 7 news channels the appetite for new News is tremendous and it also feeds the frenzy as there is only so many ways the same headlines can be repeated throughout the day.<br />
<br />
Media houses have started creating their own narratives, shaping the narrative is no longer enough, in order to feed the demand for new News every hour, there now exists a tendency to create news - it doesn't matter if it is right or wrong, true or fake.<br />
<br />
The recently concluded General Elections in India were symbolic of this arrangement. The largest media houses in the country were clearly divided along political lines:<br />
<ul>
<li> <i>NDTV</i> & <i>Aaj Tak </i>was in favor of the <b>UPA</b> supporting: <b>Indian National Congress</b>, <b>Samajwadi Party</b>, <b>Bahujan Samajwadi Party</b>, <b>Trinamool Congress</b>...</li>
<li> <i>Republic TV</i> & <i>India TV</i> were in favor of the <b>NDA</b> supporting: <b>Bhartiya Janata Party</b>, <b>Janata Dal (S)</b>, <b>Shiromani Akali Dal</b>, <b>Shiv Sena</b>…</li>
<li> Southern India has an even queerer case, the two leading parties in the Tamil Nadu run their own media conglomerates:</li>
<ul>
<li><i>Sun TV Network</i> encompassing channels like:<i> Sun TV</i>, <i>Surya TV</i>, <i>Kiran TV, Kalaignaar TV</i> is run by the Maran family who are active members of the <b>Dravida Munnatera Kazagham (DMK) </b>political party</li>
<li> <i>Jaya TV</i> is run by the incumbent TN government the <b>AIADMK</b></li>
</ul>
<li> Similar story unfolds in Andra Pradesh as well with the <b>YSRCP </b>led by Jagan Mohan Reddy controls the<i> Saskshi group</i> which runs the <i>Sakshi</i> newspaper and <i>Sakshi TV</i></li>
</ul>
<div>
With so much of the narrative controlled by the major political parties and the channels giving their own spin to every story to ensure that the right conclusion (favored by the party or the channel) is drawn by the viewer what is the next stop for honest unbiased news reporting in India? How much of the narrative provided by the Media today can be trusted?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Media was supposed to be the 4th Estate or Pillar of democracy which does not take sides and which provides the facts based on which the people of the country can make a honest decision, but that is no longer the case.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The less said about how Social Media is spewing its toxicity through the anonymity the better.</div>

<br />
The thumping victory started a deluge of messages and forwards in WhatsApp groups, I received the below image as a forward (creator unknown). I do not know if the words were ever spoken by Shri. Atal Behari Vajpayee but in my humble opinion, "More Truer words have never been spoken"<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The simplest translation of this is: "Today our government has lost the vote of confidence by just 1 vote. Due to our lack of majority, the Congress Party is making fun of us, but they should always remember that there will come a day when we will form governments across all the states in the country and the entire country will be laughing at them."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That day is today - 23rd May, 2019 when the verdict of the people is clear. The Mandate is full majority and the choice is clear: <b>Narendra Damodardas Modi</b></div>

<br />
The final had all the ingredients of a Indian film blockbuster, an ascendant team, the fightback led by the CSK stalwart Shane Watson and finally Lasith Malinga redeeming himself after having been sprayed to all corners of the ground in his first 3 overs to give away 42 runs and then giving away only 7 runs in the last over and grabbing the wicket off his last ball to get MI over by just 1 run.<br />
<br />
The strategies and the plans for next year IPL will start soon, but until then salute to MI and a whistle for CSK.<br />
<br />

This is the first time in 70 years that India has won a series in Australia.<br />
<br />
They won the series conclusively with a margin of 2-1 in a series of 4 games with 1 game being drawn. This marks the ascendancy of India as a cricketing superpower. Gone are the days where the team was mocked as paper tigers who could win only at home. Now with wins in England, South Africa and now Australia it can be safely said that the team are now global tigers.<br />
<br />
This win is important for the team with the ODI World Cup on the anvil in England in the May of 2019.<br />
<br />
Kudos to team India...<br />

I call this the Baahubali effect. SS Rajamouli broke the mindset that you need to know the language to enjoy a movie. With Baahubali getting global acceptance, people woke up to the fact that there are good stories being told in non-Hindi cinema as well and they are well worth the price of the admission ticket.</div>

The audience these days is very discerning, while you have the odd Salman Khan flick with no substance all style winning at the box office, the audience wants good quality content for the price they shell out to watch a movie</div>
<div class="ui_qtext_para" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: "q_serif",Georgia,Times,"Times New Roman","Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro","Meiryo",serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
KGF is a throwback to the days of Zanzeer, Kaalicharan, Agneepath, and Sholay. The movie has a good script and the casting, especially for the protagonist and the antagonist, is well done. The editing could have been a bit crisper, Indian movies still have to get out of the romance and song mindset.</div>
<div class="ui_qtext_para" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: "q_serif",Georgia,Times,"Times New Roman","Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro","Meiryo",serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Other than that, the action and the pace of the story is good. There is a tendency to jump in the storyline, moving from past, to present, to future which is a bit jarring and spoils the surprise in the film which is trying to build some tense moments for the hero,</div>
<div class="ui_qtext_para" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: "q_serif",Georgia,Times,"Times New Roman","Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro","Meiryo",serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
But overall the cinematography and the visual stylization of the movie is pitch perfect, even though I am non-Kannadiga, I watched this movie in the theaters and enjoyed every bit of it.</div>
<div class="ui_qtext_para" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: "q_serif",Georgia,Times,"Times New Roman","Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro","Meiryo",serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
IMHO the director has enough material to split the movie into 3 parts, rather than the chapter 1 & 2 that is proposed, but Indian movies are not yet acclimatized to trilogies yet, it is hard to hold the audience interest for the time taken to produce and direct 3 parts.</div>

Director Sriram Raghavan nails the movie. The story, narration, editing, music, casting, and execution is pitch perfect. The movie shows that it is possible to make enjoyable, riveting cinema without hyped up action scenes, item songs, and frivolous romance.<br />
<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8108198" target="_blank">Andhadhun</a> is watching a masterclass on how suspense thrillers work. A movie does not need a big star to work, all it needs is a good solid script, and actors who believe in it.<br />
Ayushmann Khurana is spot on as the blind man who gets caught in a situation which is as unanticipated as it was. Tabu shows us what Bollywood is missing out on with a power-packed performance.<br />
The music and songs in the movie are spot on and are essential to convey the voice of the movie. To say anything more would spoil for the movie for those who haven't seen it.<br />
My only suggestion: <b>Watch the movie</b>.<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike></div>

<div class="ui_qtext_image_wrapper" style="clear: left; display: block; float: left; line-height: 0; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; position: relative;">

<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7212726" target="_blank">Simmba (2018)</a> - This is the continuation of the Rohit Shetty police series juggernaut that he embarked on with <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1948150" target="_blank">Singham (2011)</a> and <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2309764" target="_blank">Singham Returns (2014)</a>. Simmba continues in the same vein.<br />
<br />
The premise of the movie is heavily derived from the Telugu movie <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4442758" target="_blank">Temper (2015)</a>. Ranveer Singh plays a corrupt cop - <b>Sanghram Bhalerao</b> a.k.a <i>Simmba</i>.<br />
<br />
He has joined the police force to earn a quick buck and is willing to assist with criminals to make a quick moolah.
How Simmba changes and becomes a good person forms the gist of the story.<br />
<br />
Ranveer Singh knocks the role out of the park which his performance as Simmba. Every moment that he’s on screen he owns the space. Be it his comic timing, dialogue delivery, or acting, or dancing. Ranveer is comfortable and carries the movie on his shoulders unfalteringly.<br />
<br />
Sara Khan does not have a lot to do in the movie as Simmba’s love interest - Shagun. She looks good and graceful whenever she appears on the screen but her scope is limited.<br />
<br />
Ashutosh Rana & Siddharth Jadhav are good in their supporting roles. Sonu Sood seen in a meaty role as Durva Ranade gives a nice performance, he’s believable as the brother who turns a blind eye to his younger brothers misdeeds and gives them all the freedom in the world.<br />
<br />
Ajay Devgn does a cameo as Bajirao Singham and is well received in his role.<br />
<br />
Overall the movie is a great watch, it is a typical Rohit Shetty movie, the songs are not much but the background score rocks and the mix between the Singham and Simmba soundtracks is amazing.

[Tamil] 2018<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Recently watched this movie with my folks, sometimes movies become an educational tool, especially for those who want to be technologically savvy but do not realize the pitfalls associated with it.<br />
<br />
Irumbu Thirai deals with digital spoofing and phishing. The movie shows how easy it is to steal digital data or even your identity in today's world. All it takes is a little know-how and gullible people ready to believe in fairy tales.<br />
<br />
It is chilling to see how easily the data provided by the unsuspecting public can be misused for other purposes. The scenes explaining how technology can be misused is simple and easily understood by the layman.<br />
<br />
Performance wise, Vishal carries the movie aptly, his aversion to taking loans and getting into debt, and his dysfunctional relationship with his father - Delhi Ganesh - who's take loans and then flees from his creditors to avoid returning the money forms the meat of their bond. The scene where he loses his cool at his father is particularly heart touching. The pain and the sorrow in that relationship are beautifully captured.<br />
<br />
Arjun Sarja as the antagonist - While Devil is good, but the movie does not build him up enough for the villain to stand out on his own. Sarja hold's his part but the menace that Aravind Swaamy brought to the role of Siddharth Abhimanyu by just being on the screen is missing and that impacts the effect of the villain. The comparisons with Arvind Swamy's performance in Thani Oruvan are inevitable. Arjun is not introduced until the 2nd half by his actual name. The viewer only sees him on screen against the backdrop of flickering screens using his hacker handle. The calm, collected way in which he threatens Vishal forms the highlight of his introduction and when he meets with Vishal for the first time, he tells him that he cheats and defrauds people for a living because he can. That's pretty brutal and the film does not try to gloss over the fact that people cheat because they can and because they can get away with it.<br />
<br />
Overall the movie is a great watch and if it creates even a little bit of awareness with people about the dark side of the internet and makes them a bit more cautious about using their phones, social media and their digital activities in a responsible manner then it would be a cathartic victory.<br />

<br />
Caught this gem of a movie last week on Saturday with my parents. One of the very few rare movies that we have watched in the theater together as a family. I must say the movie lived up to and beyond my expectations.<br />
<br />
'96 - the title confused the heck out of all of us, even when the movie started with the song <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LD30ChPsSs" target="_blank">The Life of Ram</a>;</i> until he reached his old school in Thanjavur, then it became crystal clear that the title reflects the year of his passing his matriculation and boom - instant nostalgia. Those scenes where he reminiscences while visiting his school, its classrooms and the premises brought a tear to my eye and the feeling of loss - I wanted to watch the movie immediately with my school chaddi buddies...<br />
<br />
The nostalgia continued with the school buddies then communicating via WhatsApp group named aptly '96. The reunion planned and the videos sent by those missing it sent a chord of pain in my heart.<br />
<br />
We are introduced to Ram and Janu via their teen selves and the actors played that part brilliantly, the heart pumping reaction of Ram when Janu touches him for the first time after he realizes his feelings for her just about gave me goosebumps. Ohh innocent love at its best.<br />
<br />
C. Prem Kumar who has directed this movie was a cameraman when he saw him first while wielding a camera as his story of amnesiac marriage was translated into the big screen as Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom. Clearly, he has grown since we first were acquainted with him.<br />
<br />
'96 is a tragic romance of Ram & Janu without all the bitterness of a broken relationship, they still have that strong bond after 22 years of being split, life made them take different turns and they both landed on their feet, the movie spans just 1 night as Ram & Janu struggle with their feelings and what could have been.<br />
<br />
To say anything more at this point would be to spoil the movie for those yet to see them and I wish everybody who reads this sees this movie at least once. It does not matter if you do not know the language, see it with subtitles, I guarantee you that you will not miss out on anything, but do watch it.<br />
<br />
The lead pair of Vijay Sethupathi & Trisha Krishnan nails their roles. VS continues to prove why he is aptly named as "Makkal Selvan" by the people of Tamil Nadu. Trisha gives one of the most nuanced and powerful performances as Janu.<br />
<br />
The music by Govind Vasantha compliments the movie - the music adds value to the narration on the screen and at the end, you are left feeling - if only...<br />
<br />
Watch '96 for the sheer nostalgia factor or for lessons on how romance should be without going overboard. I leave you with this beautiful song to cherish...<br />

[Hindi] 2018<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IUCeN7kelXs/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IUCeN7kelXs?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Karwaan is a road trip movie as the trailer says, but it is a road trip with a difference. The movie is well crafted and takes Avinash on a journey to collect his father's body from Kochin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is a journey filled with situations, where Avinash struggles to reconcile his relationship with his father. As he says there is no love between them, but the situation has made him realize that his father while not great was not as bad he thought him to be. And in this age and world being not bad is as good as great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Irrfan as Shaukat and Mithila Pathak as Tanya provide a good foil to Dulquer. Dulquer is the silent, introvert - a thinker who does not let people or the world in easily, Irrfan is the guide, the voice of the troika, Mithila plays the rebellious teenager trying to balance the recklessness and rebellion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Karwaan is a breezy ride, it has something that the recent movies have lost their interest in - emotions, it maintains a perfect balance between the emotional aspects without trying to come across as preachy or overtly emotional.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The characters played by the trio are easily recognizable ones, all of us may know an Avinash, a Tanya or a Shaukat in our daily lives. In the end, Karwaan is as much a road journey as it is a life journey.</div>

I started the practice last year as a part of incorporating more of the culture and traditions back from home to my new abode.<br />
<br />
Last year the 5 days of celebrations were a great way to bond together with friends and have a community get together.<br />
<br />
This year has been even more special with Mom & Dad making their way to US to stay with me and also to welcome Bappa home.<br />
<br />
The 5 days of the festival have been a great time for celebration and joy to be shared between friends and family.<br />
<br />
Wish you all a Happy & Prosperous Ganesha Chaturthi!! May the Vignaharta remove all obstacles from your life and make it one joyous celebration.<br />
