Tanu Weds Manu Returns

TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS
And how!
Read no further just go for the movie. Don't spend another second on this post just go and watch!
Never have I enjoyed a sequel to an Indian movie so much. This one was as much fun as the previous. Kangana doing a double role will sweep you off your feet and any remaining non-Kangana fans will be drawn in too. The lady has demonstrated her flair for the dramatic and the comedic well enough in the past and this one just carries it further.
The movie takes off where the previous one ended without missing a beat and all the memories just come flashing back, for us that is! The dialogues are hilarious.... the adrak one is already a hit in the trailers, but my fave one was "Arhar ki daal mai ajinomoto nahi padta" and also "ghutne ki ghadi ban gayi"
All the favorites from the original are there... the moms, the dads, Jimmy Shergill (Sighhhhhh....) Deepak Dobriyal- whose chemistry with the others is as good as ever, Swara, Ejaz Khan and also a few new ones like Rajesh Sharma and the new Kangana. Wow! right from her haryanvi accent to her athleticism she owns the character! She is just wow in both her Avtaars. Barring Sridevi in Chalbaaz I have never seen a female actor portray 2 roles so well. Of course the physicalities help but no one but Kangana could have done this.
Also a thought constantly buzzing in my head is why isn’t there a sequel for Queen in the pipeline?
The haryanvi version of Old School Girl is just delish.
The emotions are in place as are the funnies, no dragging pace and I declare this one a must watch! All in all it was like the perfect Aaloo ka paratha, where each bite brings a different flavour. One bite is stuffed, one is crispy, one had a bit of green chillies and another loads of butter.
So go savour it.
In fact I am not sure why you are still reading this?
Go now!

On a side note: post the intermission the guy sitting next to me turned and asked me where did the Avengers go? After I had scraped my jaw off the floor I politely told him that he was probably in the wrong hall! It was hilarious how fast he scurried off!

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...

Gehraaiyan

  Gehraiyaan This is one of the first hindi movies I have enjoyed in a long while, and that is because it is pure entertainment. I watched it and I liked it and I didn't try and explore its morality or the why's and wherefores. It might never become a cult classic like others in its genre, namely Silsila, Masoom, Arth or even Pati patni aur woh, but it is a decent watch. Fidelity is a state of the mind and even a golden oldie like Navrang addressed it as such. Putting that aside, this movie belongs to Deepika Padukone all the way. But, ah the dashing and devious devil, Siddhant Chaturvedi makes a mark too. Deepika/Alisha is a conflicted individual, whose backstory is relayed to us in bits and pieces. The irony is that, her perception of everything is colored by her version of the truth. Watch how she takes pictures and then crops them. That's a peak in to her state of mind. She tries to err on the safe side always, and it reflects in her choice of life partner even. Her cou...

Silent Bystanders. ....

At times one sees people behaving in the most despicable way and one itches to say something. I witnessed such a wrong being perpetrated today and to my utter shame I just stood by and then later mutely walked away. Yes, there were others present and yes someone else could have said something. But none of us did. And neither did I. Exactly what is it that held me back? Maybe the thought that this wasn't my fight or the fact that I wanted to have no rep ercussions coming my way...... Whatever....... I didn't take a stand and I could have..... It's a shame I shall cart around for a while.... I wish I could turn back time, but I can't and knowing that so well today could possibly make me more stronger ahead.... Maybe......
