Assorted REVIEWSS

Hi fellas
Just a break from Goa.
Its time for some REVIEWS!! All these reviews are my own perceptions only. Nothing to hurt anyone's feelings.

Book Review: 2 States by Chetan Bhagat.

Hmmm I am not gonna tell and postulate the characters in chronological order. Rather I shall give the gist of the book and how did I feel when reading. It’s a kinda novel which u can talk with the characters when u read. I mean honestly, it has all masala fit for making a bollywood movie. ;). The book has several excerpts from the author’s own life. The main theme of the book is about the love which a Punjabi guy has it for a Tamil gal and how he successfully gets married to her at the last. And as usual, the story is told in chetan’s own style. The paragraphs always end with a one liner making u to laugh ur ass out. Depiction of characters was good and I wud say 2 things really moved my heart and left me in tears. First, when Krish and his father speaks up for the first time after a long cold war, when Krish comes to know that his father went all the way to the gal’s home and convinced them for the marriage. Was really good!. And the next one was when Ananya gives birth to twins and that too holding her husband’s hands. Really touching and very good end for their love story which is full of compromises, fights and wat not..even a break up between them !.

As usual , there are many making-out scenes, which bollywood directors will be thinking now , how to bring those on silver screens :P. And yeah.. many F words. Sorry , let me tell it .. the word 'FUCK'. This novel is a good time pass one which can be finished even in a day. Coz u'll feel it like a movie only. I read this novel in just 3 days. My dearest friend, who read all the previous 3 novels of him in just 1.5 days. Can u believe it ?. Am not an avid reader like that, but still I maintained my sporadic pace. Heheh. As soon as I finished reading, I opened my mail and emailed chetan thanking him for giving such a wonderful novel. Some incidents in the novel resembles with my life too :). I hope and believe the final lines of the novel should also resemble with mine!

It can be taken as a sequel to 5 point someone, coz the story quotes the love affair he had with the prof’s daughter in this novel. And the story goes on ..with him moving to IIMA and finding this tamil gal and falling in love for her. His respect for God is shown in this novel also as expected. Altogether, a funny, nostalgic and the love-doubled feeling I felt , after done with the novel. A must for fun lovers coz the novel contain only very little sarcasm and cynicism. Try it !

Now reading : The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler

Movie Review :

Eeram: Horror movie. ! And no bigger gimmicks , just believed in the plot and the scenes were well constructed. A gal dies of circumstances and she takes revenge via the medium of water. It extends the concept told in 13B, that the spirits tries to communicate through a medium. I don’t personally believe in this shit. So u just stick to it watver u believe. And yeahthe movie has a nice love story also. Those love scenes are shown in our own trichy. U wont believe it ppl, trichy is shown really good in this movie. All the places I frequented during college days, felt little nostalgic too. The love story ends with the guy accusing the gal and making use of wrong words that actually a demoralizing statement. That was unintentional, but somehow, hurting words always cant be taken when it comes from the one whom u love most!.

She gets married to another guy in the latter part and then series of incidents happens in her new flat and then her husband starts suspecting her for an illicit affair with another guy and then the whole story takes a turn. The little gal ‘Yaradi nee mohini’ saranya plays the role of heroine’s sister. There are some scenes where she s been possessed by the spirit and communicates to the hero. The movie goes about how the spirit kills all the ppl who were responsible for her death.

Such kinda stories, we wud have seen many times.. but its little new to tamil and I felt really happy to see trichy in the movie, that I even made a one-day-trip to trichy and visited the college and surrounding areas :) . Crazy huh !. Watver !.

Ananda thandavam : Happened to see this movie in Sun tv on diwali. Total Crap ! Very poor acting and very poor screen play. I took a bath immediately after watching that movie to clean my soul . lol ;)

Paranormal Activity : Freaking awesome movie. Still, it resembles with the movies like ‘Blairwitch project’ , ‘Cloverfield’. Inspired by true events. People who really got tired of seeing gore slash blood spilling horror movies , I wud suggest this is a wonderful horror treat. No big plot. A couple moving into a newly bought house. And she says that a series abnormal spooky things happening to her since childhood. So they fix a camera in their home and captures all the events. Please watch this movie using headphones. Because I felt really scary for a scene where, I heard the footsteps running on the attic from one side to another side. Simply awesome. And gadgets like Ouija board , the usual thing in Hollywood horror flicks, features in this movie also. Some scenes are really artificial. The movie ends with really horrific scenes.. And it will leave u in shock once u know that all those were real events. Best one for the Halloween !

Music:

Blue : ARR is missing in the music !!. Most of the songs, I felt, are made for attracting the West. I liked only 2 songs. Chiggy Wiggy for Kylie Minogue’s super seducing voice and Fiqrana !. The other songs are not that promising. I feel Delhi6 was the last best album from ARR. ‘Dil Gira Dafatan’ still rhymes in my ear !!. Oh forgot to add.. Kuru kuru song from the Hollywood movie ‘Couples retreat’ is good. Makes u smile throughout the song.

Adavan : ‘Nothing is coming..nothing is coming’ as Russell Peters say . A disappointment from Harris. I didn like even ‘vaarayo vaarayo’ for its lame lyrics. Unni Krishnan voice is good in that song. Avlo thaan.

Tv Serials:

South Park 1309 : Butters’ Bottom Bitch.
Nice. My favorite character in the series. Butters always does something innocent which turns out totally gay. Haha. So innocent kid. The episode starts with butters getting beaten up by fellow classmates for not having been kissed by a gal in his life. They are after all the fourth graders :) . lol. The story goes on with butters pay a gal and get kiss from her and events continue and he finally turns out to take that as business and becomes a pimp:). Very funny.

South Park 1310: W.T.F (Wresting Takeover- Federation)
This is a mockery on WWE. The 4 kids watches WWE smack down live and wanna be wrestlers. But they come to know that actual wrestling is not the one wat they just saw. So they form their own W.T.F and stage some stories like u normally see in WWE. The highlights are the funny stage names they keep for themselves. Cartman- rad Russian, Stan- Stan, the man , Kenny- Pollo Loco , a Mexican like Rey mysterio, comes with a mask and gives his muffled dialogues. Kenny rocksss ?
Another interesting thing is when the rednecks who sees the show starts cribbing and shouting 'They took our jobbb’ , ‘they took his doggg’, 'They broke his jaww’. Really funny.

South Park 1311 : Whale Whores
Stan , the hero. Main plot is the Japanese whaling. Stan trying to save whales and dolphins from the Japanese. Randy comes in the initial part and plays his foolish part as usual. Watch out for the song ‘Pa pa pa..Pokerface’ in this episode. Really good. Cartman rocks in that song when he sings it for Guitar hero !
