The Salman Magic

Ek Tha Tiger is essentially a romance masquerading as an action flick. Oh the charm of Salman is unmatched! I have never seen him look or perform better.
He made my heart skip quite a few beats.:-)
He was there in practically every frame of the movie and boy he was so cool. The film is well crafted too. I loved the way there were mini flashbacks telling us about his life.Nice touch Aditya and Kabir , very smart. Not too many dialogues, but whatever were there were again very smart.Fabulous locales for the romance to take root and flourish.
And the romance was certainly more palpable than in Mausam-the recent one.
I am longing to see it again very soon.
This is specially written coz everyone said that i didn't write how the movie was!
Watch it!
P.S: The music could certainly have been better. Specially as it was coming on the heels of Cocktail ..
Hmmm ...maybe they should have let Salman have more of a say in the music. I am sure it would then have been better.
Enjoy the watching if you haven't already.
Ciao.
Stay safe.

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise.

Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
