Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

For the brats who live in a world of 140 characters.... Ek Baar dekh lo yaar..

 

For the more discerning ones with ample patience... Read on..

First of all lemme just say that if possible leave kids at home or else be prepared for some awkward questions. Particularly when scenes hit first base. If you know what I mean. Wink! Wink! 😃 

There is off the charts chemistry between Ranbir and Anushka and they too good together. They are helped by hilarious dialogues and the super comic touch of Lisa Haydon. We need to see more of this lady. 

Anushka is fabulous. I have never seen her look so good. She is the Lady in Red... 

Ranbir proves yet again what a fine actor he is. 

The locales are exotic and time just sped away till the interval. Which had me wondering why it was that the critics were being so harsh. 

Ahhhhhh then came Ms. Bachchan and I understood. After that its all downhill and nothing can save this movie. This, dear parents is also when things awkwardly touch 2nd base..  :-)  :-) 

Come on KJo... 

Is the only angst you know that of father and son? 

Where is the intensity  the first half... The droll wit, the tongue in cheek humor? 

SIgggghhh.... 

Well I guess everyone has forgotten how to make love stories. 

I am shattered. This movie had so much potential and the second half just sucked. 

Soooooooo bad.... 

But the first half is wow! 

Specially for the Ranbir and Anushka fans.

This movie could be a reflection of the times we live in or then maybe not... 

But that's a thought for another day. 

So till then Happy Diwali..

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. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. 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...
