Kahaani: Movie Review

"Kahaani" is worth a watch ... And as it seems from the promos, It's not a sad dark story of a struggling pregnant woman in an even darker city of "so called" joy ... In fact it's a perfect set Suspense Thriller in a typical "Byomkesh Bakshi" style and yet another "Heroic" performance by Bidya ...er ...Vidya Balan ... To conclude, I would rate it several notches better than her work in "Dirty Picture" ... Shotti !! :-) ...
Signing Off,
Neo.

Sab Maya Hai ...

Read Today: Ex CM Mayawati's officially "declared" humble earnings of political career = 112.43 Cr INR.
I would love to see face of her voters when they come to know about this.
Can we reach at this amount by compounding the principle amount every day ?
What was principle amount ?
What rate to compound with ?
Was it due to a Side Business ?
Surely it would be a task to earn so much money through legal means in so small career on a salary of an MLA/CM/MP. Wouldn't those businesses take her mind off from the work that she was supposed to do as leader of a state for 5 years ?
A definitive case study for analysts as to what would be the IRR of a 5 year government in UP. You know the inflow amount and timing, right? Let's not account this declared amount in sheet. Do a rough estimate !!
He he he :-)
By the way, they tell it's all gifts .... Gifts from whom ?
What is the current source of income of those gift-giving-kind-hearted-once-upon-a-time-used-to-be-dalit people ??
Still surprised how the hell Taj Corridor case, Statues, Parks, Birthdays, Flying Sandals and Food Tasters controversies got subdued ??
Incredible India Indeed !!

Blood Money: Movie Review

Blood Money: Waste (of) Money
Good Part: Kunal Khemu and his boss
Bad Part: Forgot counting the flaws, Still, broadly they are - hollow direction by debutant Vishal Mahadkar, poor script, over-simplistic story, hackneyed dialouges, over drama, etc.
Avoid spending money in theaters. DVD or satellite channel would be a good medium to watch it if you're bent on to it.
Went to theater only because of Kunal Khemu because I generally like him after his work in Kalyug and SuperStar. And he did justice to his role designated, no doubt.
Incidentally, Director has screwed up big time and shot himself in the foot.
He should not have taken up such a good theme if he didn't know how to craft a movie around it.
 My Take - 2 Stars.
