Tumbadd

• Watched the above movie "Tumbadd" on Amazon Prime Video.
• Amazon Prime gives the trivia that this movie took 5 years to complete
• And trust me this is worth watching.
• The creature effects are too good.
• The ending is surprising really.
• "Jaan Bache to Lakhon paye" There is a saying in India. "Means if you saved yourself means you made millions"
• Trust me life is precious.
• Here also the story is something like below. Spoiler Alert.
• The First born Son of a Goddess (who has produced 16 million children) has never ending wealth but is perennially hungry.
• The other children of the Goddess desist the first born as he takes all the wealth and the food of the world.
• Then the Goddess keeps him in her belly and promises he won't be trouble to the others.
• The unlimited wealth in the form of gold coins is in a pouch tied to the waist of the Goddess son.
• But food is unavailable and there is way to get the wealth by offering wheat dumplings and collect few coins which falls out whole he is busy eating.
• But then the protagonists become greedy and take many dumplings and it i observed that for each dumpling there appears different monsters.
• If one gets bitten or scratched then one becomes a vegetative state and is perennially hungry again.
• Only those can be disposed off by burning.
• Worth watching.

Water Therapy

• I had written a blog post as to how ou should drink plenty of water.
• https://anupsabat.blogspot.com/2018/11/drink-plenty-of-water.html
• I have further something to add to it.
• If you have to drink 3-4 litres of water daily I suggest you do it as early as possible in the day.
• Means you should drink 1 litre of water as soon as you get up.
• I would like to make reference to one Dr Anuj video which I had received on WhatsApp.
• Same is available on Youtube and it is as below:
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJvtdDna0G8
• Basically what Dr Anuj says that there are three Mantras for leading a disease free life and those are listed as below
• He says one should drink 1 litre of water immediately after one gets up in the morning does not matter if one brushes the teeth or not. That may be warm or cold not mentioned but preferable warm.
• 40 minutes after having food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) one should have 1 glass of warm water. Here he was specific about warm water.
• He says we should always drink water while sitting and not standing.
• The above are the three mantras and additionally he says that the water we drink should have a PH value of 8.5 ideally and there a machines available to measure it and if possible one should install those.
• Now let me get back to what I have to say. I am no Doctor I must say. I am a normal person.
• According to me, I play no emphasis to sitting or standing. You can drink water while sitting or standing it does not matter. Important is to drink the water.
• Next is by personal experience I recommend you drink only warm water.
• Whenever you are drinking large quantities of water like 2 glasses and above you should drink warm water.
• Hence you should buy a Kettle which I have also bought and when you keep 1 litre of water and switch it on, in 45 second the water becomes warm enough to drink.
• PH value is technical term and I do not know about. I must say drinking water is important and PH value is secondary.
• After food you may drink water or not depends on your body's desire or you may have a sip of water.
• Important is that in the course of the day you should drink 3 to 4 litres of water in the course of 24 hours.
• That is the point. Dr Anuj in the video does not mention how much water we should drink.
• A simple Google search reveals "A 150 pound person should drink 75 to 150 ounces of water per day"
• Converting to litres and kg it turns out "A 68 kg person should drink 2.2 litre to 4.4 litre of water per day"
• Based on the above we can make a table:

• Weight	Water Recommended (min)	Water Recommended (max)
  (kgs)	(litres)	(lites)
  68	2.2	4.4
  50	1.62	3.24
  60	1.94	3.88
  70	2.26	4.53
  80	2.59	5.18
  90	2.91	5.82
  100	3.24	6.47
  110	3.56	7.12
  120	3.88	7.76
  130	4.21	8.41
  140	4.53	9.06

• Thus if we consider just the minimum values if you are 100 kgs you should drink 3.25 litres of water minimum.
• Drinking water is only valid if you drink based on your body weight.
• And you should drink only warm water unless you are just taking a sip.
• If as per a pattern you are drinking then you should only drink warm water.
• Also it is advisable that as early in the day you should complete the daily quota of drinking the water.
• If before breakfast you are able to drink 3 litres of water then nothing like it. Just don't wait for the day to progress or end for drinking the water or you will never be able to complete the quota.
• If before breakfast you are able to drink 3 litres of water then any water you drink subsequently may come from "sips of water" which may not have to be warm.
• It is like some homework or any work given to you and when you complete it before time, the rest of the time "you earned it".
• So if you drink the ideal water preferably 3 litres of water as early in the day, subsequently you do not need to "force feed" the water to yourself.
• Trust me drinking water if essential to prevent ill health and avoid problems like back pain.

EVM Exchange

• There is a term which goes beyond EVM Hacking and that is EVM Exchange.
• I have a fear that BJP may indulge in large scale EVM Exchange to ensure its victory in 2019 Elections.
• In Telangana what happened.
• It may be possible that the EVM machines were "pre fixed".
• "Pre fixed" ensured that TRS emerges victorious.
• TRS is an agent of BJP to ensure that Congress does not emerge as a threat in terms of numbers from Andhra-Telangana region.
• TRS was banking on 2019 elections to be "pre-poned" and held under the garb of "one nation, one elections".
• But BJP was not willing to risk its mandate. Also it did not want to do something as drastic as that.
• And so when common elections were not happening, TRS decided to go alone and suggested early elections and BJP power in Center helped it regain power.
• Thus this pre-fixation of EVM machines may happen.
• Also EVM's may be exchanged like a truck loaded with "pre-fixed" EVMs may be replaced with ones people voted. Like it happened in Madhya Pradesh which was widely circulated on Twitter.
• All these plans would be in place for BJP return to power.
• When Bharat Electronics (BEL) the company which manufactures EVMs says that EVMs cannot be hacked it may be true.
• But it is silent on the "pre fixed" EVMs.
• Also pre fixed EVM's to be exchanged is more of a logistical issue than a technological issue.
• All those may happen in 2019.
• People need to remember that it is possible.

Aquaman, Spiderman into the Spiderverse

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Aquaman

• This 3D movie was watched at Sandhya 70 MM, Madivala.
• I liked the movie.
• Special effects are amazing.
• I guess that effort of the actors would have gone down tremendously due to the special effects.
• It is a masterpiece.
• Jason Momoa, Nicole Kidman and others are just perfect for their respective roles.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Spiderman into the Spiderverse

• This 3D movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
• I liked the movie.
• A black Spiderman is good but why they kept the uniform black beats me.
• If you embrace a black Spiderman you should be prepared to hand over the uniform as well and not make the costume of the black Spiderman black.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Kedarnath, 2 Point 0

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kedarnath

• This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere
• I liked the movie 
• Basically this movie shows how an inter faith love story happens.
• It also shows like a Biblical flood happens and the "chosen people" leave the place.
• Due to the hero's love story, the Muslims are made to vacate the area.
• And then the flood happens.
• But our hero returns to save his lady love and is killed in the process while the heroine is saved.
• But then the temple is rebuilt three years later and the Hindus return.
• But nothing is mentioned about the Muslims residing in the area whether they return or not.

------------------------------------------------------------
2 Point 0

• This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
• I must say this movie concept is too good.
• It has an underlying message of saving the birds and bees and plants.
• Because human life depends on it.
• A group of birds flying together and then coming together to make a big monster or bird has been explored earlier.
• It was seen in Timothy Hutton movie The Dark Half where bunch of birds flow around.
• Also a music video I had seen where a flock of birds come together and become a huge moster and chase a man down the street.
• The inspiration for this movie could be many, Bird Man, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Ant Man, Aliens, Dark Knight and so on.
• But leaving all aside, the fact that such kind of movie could be made is itself remarkable.
• I mean the thought came about itself amazing and commendable.
• While in India movies are made on marriage and love story, this movie can be compared with the best in the world like Hollywood.
• Since made and thought in India, that is why it is amazing.
• Because India is a backward country and this is remarkable.
• There was already Robot and so 2.0 was made.
• It is like only toppings were added.
• If it would have been a stand alone movie, it would have been even more remarkable.
• 3.0 is nothing but Ant Man.
• Movie is definitely worth watching but it may not be on big screen. But worth watching anyways.

Insidious The Last key, Lost Temple of Java, Mortal Engines

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Insidious The Last key

• This movie was watched on Prime Video 
• It is okay movie to be watched once
• It shows how an evil entity torments people in one house located near a prison since the 1950's
• And finally is taken care of.
• It is enjoyable movie.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Lost Temple of Java

• Strictly speaking this is not a movie but a documentary
• It shows the temple structure of Borubudur
•  How people have created such a magnificent temple in Java island like of which never existed in the world
• People suspect it to be made by immigrants/sailors from India
• Other theory is that Javanese themselves made it and then abandoned it following volcanic activity
• It is Buddhist temple without any subterranean chambers
• All that is to be seen remains outside.
• Magnificent stone carvings could be seen.
• This documentary gives credence to the fact that the entire region of South East Asia functioned as a single trading entity including the East Coast of India.
• People went to and fro before the advent of the Western Powers who then dominated the seas and became colonizers.
• Documentary also shows how an officer from the East India Company Mr Raffles (founder of Singapore) made the discovery and was not taken seriously back in London
• East India Company also captured the island from Dutch and then due to political agreements made in Europe the island went back to the Dutch and Mr Raffles had to leave.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Mortal Engines

• This movie was seen on the big screen at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere 
• I liked the movie.
• This is must watch full 5 star rating.
• Movie starts with one city chasing a smaller city which appears like a ship.
• When in 15th and 16th Century European powers began exploring the ocean things could have happened that way to establish primacy in the waters.
• Those ships which survived reigned supreme.
• Defeated ships would have sank and ended in the bottom of the ocean.
• But here the cities are "gobbled up"
• Yes the entire city of London exist and now is a "mobile city" and gobbles smaller cities in European mainland converting them to fuel.
• People are assimilated after stripping them of valuables and weapons.
• But that is not enough for one commander of London city and he secretly is building a "Medusa aka MedU.S.A" weapon to annihilate settled community in Eastern part of the World.
• That weapon was responsible for destruction of much of World cities and populations
• So in a post Apocalyptic world those who control the resources would be supreme.
• And so the Commander murders the King of London and makes the weapon operational to target a Wall protecting the Eastern civilization which are prospering behind the wall.
• Two strikes he makes and before making the third strike the weapon is disabled and the commander comes under the wheels of London city which he sets on collision course with the wall following the blocking of the weapon.
• But our hero and heroine team are able to stop London city in its tracks and avoid disaster as the city alongwith the inhabitants would have probably got destroyed from the impact.
• Then the Eastern King or Leader allows all the people from "mobile London city" to disembark the "land ship" and enter the lands and so it is a happy ending.

---------------------------------------------------------------

No Temple at Disputed Site Ayodhya

• I don't believe there was a Ram Temple at disputed site in Ayodhya.
• Most probably there was a Buddhist site much before to that.
• Afterwards there were mosques.
• The theory comes from valid data.
• India was Buddhist for several centuries before Islam entered India
• Hindu revival probably happened subsequently in 11th and 12th Century AD onwards
• Ramanujam, Sankaracharya, Chaitanya among others must have contributed to the Hindu revival.
• If we see at major Hindu temples in India, they have their origin in or around 10th Century AD (plus minus two centuries). Why? Because we can suspect that earlier to that the reigning religion in Indian subcontinent was Buddhism. 
• Then Islam entered and in a sense it gave fillip to rise or re-rise of Hindu while extinguishing Buddhism.
• Later there was Swami Vivekananda and Iskcon founder among others
• Areas all around India are dotted with Buddhist sites
• I have read that when Nagarjuna Sagar dam was constructed several Buddhist locations were submerged.
• In one Jackie Chan movie (probably "The Myth") there is a scene where a lady tells Chan take this river and this will lead you to your homeland. Maybe it may be true if the move was shot in Eastern China. Fact is the movie was shot in Hampi area and the river there would lead to present day area near Vijayawada before flowing to ocean. It is an indication of Buddhism in Hampi area and peninsular India (Deccan) in the past.
• In Odisha also sites are full of Buddist ruins like Ratnagiri, Lalitgiri and so on.
• In Maharashtra also Kanheri caves and the location of Lenyadri AshtaVinayak temple is proof that Buddhism was a premier religion in Indian subcontinent before the advent of Islam and the revival of Hinduism by modern day preachers.
• Another link I can mention below:
• https://m.huffingtonpost.in/amp/2018/12/04/there-is-no-evidence-of-a-temple-under-the-babri-masjid-asi-lied-to-the-country-say-archeologists_a_23604990/
• What the above post says that there never was a temple in Ayodhya be for Ram or for other deity
• Deities have been planted and evidence planted to supplement the claim
• All evidence points to earlier Islamic structure perhaps Shia or Turkish 
• Later Babar must have built a grander mosque so that he would be the one to be remembered for a beautiful structure
• If we go even more centuries back, the reality is Buddhist.
• It is but a hard truth that Buddhism was all pervading in Indian subcontinent before Hinduism was revived.
• Not only that Buddhism spread from India to Central Asia (like Bamiyan Buddha example) and East Asia like China, Japan and South East Asia from Burma to Java (Borobodur) to Cambodia.
• Why Buddhism declined is anyobody's guess. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe the procedures were too rigid. Maybe people could not remain celibate for Priesthood in Buddhism. Maybe they could not remain nonviolent like the Buddha. Maybe people went back to their roots.
• But no doubt that Buddhism even today is a living breathing religion whose ranks are growing everyday.
• Now in 2018 and even earlier to this BJP has been exploiting people sentiments for votes and power and there never was a temple.
• Justifying violence and rioting and killing in the name of religion.
• Divide and rule is the motto of BJP 
• Also they are not bringing out the truth as they will lose the only cause that helps them during elections.
• Any temple imposed would be an artificial one which is not relevant to past.
• Apart from that I feel there is do not need to insist that temple be there on that site only.
• Temple can be built on any place where there is no dispute.
• But BJP feeds itself on dispute and hatred and can only create disharmony in the country.

Battle of Chosin

• Watched the above documentary "Battle of Chosin" on Netflix.
• It is just a one part episode.
• It is worth watching trust me.
• It shows the crucial Battle of Chosin where the tides of war was changed in the Korean War.
• As we know after Second World War and much before the Vietnam War there was the Korean War which supposedly started when communist North Korea invaded South Korea
• Then there was American involvement under UN flag
• And within months America had won the war and was knocking at China's border.
• And then there was Chinese involvement and Americans had to withdraw.
• It was a complete reversal of the players.
• Chinese paid a great price and also suffered during the war.
• It was a "Winter War" and veterans spoke how there was never a war like that.
• US used Napalm on Chinese forces.
• US forces were attached from all sides and since there was only one entry and exit it was a scary withdrawal.
• On one side was valley and other side mountains.
• Somehow the forces could make a withdrawal.
• They were never annihilated completely.
• And US and UN has never been subsequently to that area since the Battle.
• It makes you wonder if there can be a series like Ken Burns' Vietnam War or "The War" of the Korean War.
• Surely that would be very interesting as how things happened from 1950-1953.
• The Veterans are proud that they took part.
• It was never a defeat as South Korea still exists and continued to prosper and it is far better off than North Korea.
• While Vietnam War was a catastrophic failure in a warm tropical climate.
• Here the weather was inhospitable.
• Battle of Chosin was fought in November December 1950 when things were freezing and much below zero. So weather was crucial hindering factor.

Legend of Jagannath Puri

• Watched the above documentary "Legend of Jagannath Puri" on Hotstar
• https://www.hotstar.com/movies/legends-of-jagannath-puri/1770005019 
• I realised that Lord Jagannath was a tribal God called "Neel Madhab".
• And some king from central India heard about the God being worshiped by the tribals and sent his emissary to find out.
• The emissary was unable to convince the tribal chieftain to see the God
• Then he stayed at the village and slowly married the daughter of the chieftain.
• Then convinced the daughter to convince the chieftain to make him see the God.
• Then he saw the magnificient image and after that rushed to his King.
• Then the King came but they found the God gone.
• He was disappointed but then he got a dream about a log floating at present day Puri which would be God.
• He found the log but nobody could carve through it.
• Then supposedly Vishwakarma from heavens came in an old man form and said that he would carve the image in 21 days provided no one disturbed him.
• In 15 days the King and Queen lost patience and opened the door to find Vishwakarma vanished and he left the incomplete image of Lord which is present day Jagannath, Subhadra and Balabhadra images.
• That is the story.
• Maybe it is just a story. Maybe it is real.
• If it is real, where did the original Neel Madhav disappear is my question.
• If it is real, why could the King and Queen not control themselves for six more days and we would have a perfect image of Lord.
• But that perfect image would have been the first image only.
• If Vishwakarma himself made the Lord's image it would mean no ordinary mortal could have made the image of God again and so the ritual of "Lord getting new body" or "Nabakalebara" could not have happened ever.
• If it is false maybe the Lord is false. And everybody has been taken for ride by the emissary of the King of Central India who happened to be Aryan by the way.
• It is one more case of Aryan invasion of Native lands existing from times immemorial.
• But if the story is true it is aligned with what Zakir naik used to say in his sermons.
• Zakir Naik used to say that the God Almighty cannot be compared to anything existing in this earth.
• If we can imagine something, means it is not God.
• God is infinitely beyond what ordinary humans can imagine.
• And Lord Jagannath is "incomplete image of God" as per legend.
• Because the actual image of God is beyond comprehension of ordinary mortals.
• In the end we cannot dispute that God exists else we become Athiests.
• Then who made the Athiests in the first place.
• Surely everything has an origin however mysterious.
• I guess praying to some God is better than praying to nothing at all.
• But in case of  Lord Jagannath it is not just praying but elaborate rituals are attached as well and that makes it a living God.

Rafael Scam

• This blogpost is dedicated to Rafael Scam
• There is no doubt that NDA and BJP and RSS have engineered this big scam.
• Their aim is to use defence as a money printing venture.
• They know a full fledged war of India will never happen neither with China nor with Pakistan and nor with any other country of the world.
• So on the name of defence they loot the country.
• First they keep the sentiment of the public heightened like they are under some kind of attack and invasion.
• And then they will spend tens of thousands of crores in that name.
• Normally in Union Budget every year tens of thousands of crores is kept reserved for defence.
• But this money always returns back because you guessed it there never is a war.
• But BJP Govt is corrupt and decided to change that.
• In the name of defense they began spending those tens of thousands of crores.
• Firstly they do those exercises and nobody questions them.
• I mean who is checking whether a plane flew ten times or thousand times during those exercises.
• In the name of secrecy none of these things would be disclosed.
• That is one of the reason why Finance Minister (Arun Jaitley) was the Defence Minister.
• Or someone from Commerce Ministry (Nirmala Sitharaman) is the Defence Minister.
• It will be that much easy to manipulate the finances.
• In the case of Rafale, there is additional corruption trail which leads to Ambani and that too the younger brother who was bankrupt.
• In the name of defence, thousands of acres of land will be given to him and ready made contract of Dassault from France for the Rafale jets.
• All the while when the people are chanting Modi Modi and Ram Ram.
• This is open loot of the nation.
• HAL i.e. Hindutan Aeronautics Limited is made to bleed slowly slowly and soon it may be handed over to same Ambani after a few years.
• Same case happened with Jio and BSNL.
• What was supposed to go to BSNL i.e. 4G was handed in a golden platter to big brother of Ambani.
• That is BJP's NEW INDIA. Either you are with them or you are their slaves.
• There is no in between path in BJP-RSS made India which is in pipeline.
• Year 2019 BJP wins and it will be mega disaster in India.
• Maybe Jews and Israel want that complete anarchy in India.
• Hindus are Gentiles anyway for the Jews.
• Gentiles meaning is same as Kaffirs in Islam.
• And Hindus are going/walking into the trap.

Drink Plenty of Water

• People I want to advise you all that please drink plenty of water.
• Water will not only hydrate your body but will also hydrate your soul.
• Basically we are people means human beings and 70% or more of our body is made up of water.
• Our ancestors also drank water.
• And our ancestors have gone means died.
• Only our near and dear relatives may be alive.
• Those who were there much before we came to the earth would be gone.
• Now when they die, they do not take anything with them.
• But they have created us.
• We owe our existence to our ancestors.
• Water is a kind of magical thing which exist on planet Earth.
• It will keep people alive.
• Now one who does not have a physical body will not need water.
• When people die we do not know what happens to them.
• And in case of Hindus they are disposed off in a violent manner, means they are burned in other words cremated.
• During cremation the body undergoes torture like it has never undergone before when alive.
• It is burned. Is anything more required to be said. Rest is only left to imagination.
• But due to this fact the water content in the body is extinguished almost immediately.
• Verily our ancestors souls will now "search" for water.
• And since they do not have bodies they can only get water through us.
• Deep inside our bodies are cells and our ancestors live on those cells.
• When we drink water through a variety of processes the water percolates through to the basic entiry of our bodies and those are cells.
• Even smaller we may go to atomic level and so on.
• Aside from this view I can cite health reasons for drinking water.
• We eat lots of sugar, fat, salt, oil, carbs and so on. These keep on accumulating in our bodies and increase our weight and create like of "artificial muscles" which give extra jolts to our bones and backs.
• Thus we have back pain and suffer from lack of flexibilty.
• When we drink lots of water, these excess fat from carbs and so on dissolve and come out through piss and shit.
• And hence back pain reverses itself.
• Now how much water should you drink?
• The ideal is 3 litres plus. At least 3 litres which means at least 12 glasses of water. Anything more is welcome.
• Hence drink water for yourselves if not for your ancestors.
• Drink water for your ancestors if not for yourselves.

Nawabzade, American Sniper

Watched two movies meanwhile as mentioned above
-------------------------------------------------------------
Nawabzade

• This movie was watched on Prime Video.
• I liked the movie.
• The three lead actors in the movie are a perfect team. 
• I want more movies with three of them.
• They had come in Any Body Can Dance (ABCD) movie
• That movie was also too good.
• The second part was hijacked by Varun Dhavan.
• But Nawabzade movie is worth watching according to me.

-------------------------------------------------------------
American Sniper

• This movie was watched on Hotstar
• I liked the movie.
• The particular segment where Chris Kyle is dead and his body is being taken and along the way many people are standing with American flags is actual footage and shows the Americans dedication towards their country.
• I felt the movie is anti War movie.
• I mean it shows the Americans as invaders.
• When people and mob gather in large numbers Americans have to withdraw is shown the movie.
• Surely American can't mow through crowd.
• Americans work for God and and not Devil is shown in the movie.
• Also soldiers lose limbs and mind which is worse as they have to deal with it throughout their life which is bad is shown in the movie.
• Families are also torn apart due to repeated postings abroad for months at a stretch which is bad is shown in the movie.

The War

• Watched the seven part series "The War"(2007) on Netflix.
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_(miniseries) 
• Each episode is around two hours long.
• It is worth watching.
• It shows the story of Second World War from an American perspective.
• Mainly it shows the perspective from four American towns Waterbury, Sacramento, Mobile and Luverne.
• Before each episode they show clearly that Second World War was fought in thousands of places too many for any one accounting.
• It is too good.
• Worth watching.
• I will say there is plenty of learning in the series.
• I am afraid I will not be able to reproduce all that I have learnt in this blogpost.
• All I can say I learnt plenty of things which I was not aware of before.
• I can give examples.
• How Japanese Americans were transferred to camps and then some of them were given a chance to prove the loyalty by going into the war.
• How Americans were held as prisoners by Japanese and a staggering figure of 168,000 prisoners.
• How in a few hours bombing hundred thousand were killed in Tokyo and Dresden in Germany.
• How the nuclear bomb made Japan surrender else the invasion of Japanese homeland would have cost upto 500,000 American lives and seven million Japanese.
• Compared to that 250,000 lives were lost immediately when the nuclear bombs wer dropped.
• Also USA did not have any more atom bombs but Japan did not know that and hence they surrendered. Producing new bombs could have taken months.
• Germany was systematically degraded and Nazi rule was wiped out. What they thought would last for a 1000 years could only make it to 12.
• Germany was squeezed slowly but surely from all sides.
• The Battle of Bulge was perhaps the last push Germany could manage to make but it was catastrophic for them. It was a Winter War on the border of France Germany and Belgium.
• When Sasha Weizheimer a prisoner in Santo Tomas camp in Manila began to narrate her story related to hunger we dismissed it but as the story went on and on we realised the horror of the prison camp.
• Another story of John Frazier how he was held as prisoner in four different locations in Japan after capture in Philipines and when the war ended the guards simply went away and he and other prisoner just boarded train to Tokyo and then got on ship to San Francisco.
• Japan like Germany was also similarly degraded slowly and slowly and it too capitulated.
• Island after island changed hands from Japan to US.
• Looking back we realise that Vietnam War was was an indirect result of Second World War because American military was already there mobilised in Pacific and Philipines post Second World War and they hit the land mass of Asia in full force at Vietnam and then they withdrew and focussed on Middle East but that is a different story.
• How problem between African Americans and Whites were still there in those days.
• Several decades more would be required for the integration of the communities.
• Even now there is not a perfect integration. Problems of race still exist.
• It is also clear that Second World War could not have been won without American Support and involvement.
• Also in American heartland women contributed as much as men in industry and so on.
• Without women involvement no war can ever be won.
• Also a particular German Prisoner of War also could make out when the American Soldier came from and had minute details (like the junction of two rivers one of which was like a stream) which means Hitler had made a "Committee of America" (like Ministry) and it was Hitlers plan to move on to America after Europe.
• Also nuclear bomb was actually made for Germany but Germany surrendered and there was no need to use it. And hence it got diverted to Japan which had not surrendered.
• The joy when the war ended was also too much everywhere.
• Towards the end they show that currently a thousand Second World War veterans are dying everyday. And that I guess is part of being human.

Virat Kohli comment

• This blog post is about Virat Kohli comment that one should leave India if one does not like Indian batsman is bad.
• I mean how uneducated is Virat Kohli.
• His education has plenty of gaps.
• What use is cricket if he cannot appreciate freedom of thinking.
• I must say I am deeply disappointed with Virat Kohli.
• He is a role model for youngsters and captain for present Indian cricket team.
• If a person like that says such things I have no hope left for India.
• India will degenerate more and more and slowly become a fascist state.
• I mean IPL has been going on for 11 years and counting.
• Foreign players have been playing in India for more than a decade in Indian league.
• Still Virat Kohli does not understand that.
• Virat Kohli also has been in IPL since 2008.
• Still he says like that.
• Sometimes people like Chris Gayle, sometimes like A B DeVilliers in RCB Bangalore team.
• Does that mean they should leave India.
• I mean the uneducation (if there is a word like that) of Virat Kohli impresses me.
• He has been roaming around the world for cricket and all he can say when he comes back to India is to ask people leave India if you don't like Indian players.
• It is like the BJP-RSS-Sangh Parivar remark they make "Go to Pakistan" and now Virat Kohli is toeing their line.
• It is like you scratch my back and I scratch yours.
• Virat Kohli is making remarks to legitimise the Sangh Parivar.
• Now surely he will be rewarded by them.
• And that is what is disturbing.
• We must stand up for what we think is right and not become a stooge of the RSS goons.
• I have no explanation of Virat Kohli except that he made the remark intentionally.
• If he has made the remark intentionally at the behest of BJP-RSS, no way he will ever apologise as it is the trademark of the BJP scoundrels.
• They never apologise for anything and that is the trademark of BJP.
• The person who is born in a country has no control of it.
• There may or may not be rebirth, it may be a myth for all we know.
• Also if one wants to leave a country that may not always be possible.
• One may not have money to travel or one may have family which he cannot leave or abandon.
• Sometimes Visas do not fall from tha sky.
• Visa may not be granted by country one wants to go to.
• Sometimes one cannot travel due to health reasons.
• Some people may not be aware of how to apply for a Visa in first place.
• But to Virat Kohli it does not matter.
• All that matters "Leave India if you do not like Indian batsman" and that is bad both for the country and its people.

Ghoul

• Watched the above series in Netflix.
• I liked the series.
• Radhika Apte is called into by the Ghoul who is called by her father.
• How a state degenerates as a police state in near future is shown in the series.
• Obviously the Ghoul cannot fight the state.
• But is terrifying anyway.
• The Ghoul as such is not terrifying.
• Because the Ghoul will not hurt innocents.
• The Ghoul will hurt people from both sides, the terrorists as well as the police who carry out the human rights abuses.
• The sort of police state a country can degenerate to is terrifying.
• If democracy fails verily the state can degenerate to a fascist state.
• What you speak, what you eat, what you wear, what you see if the state dictates then it is the most scary thing.
• A sort of Gestapo who can arrest you at will and interrogate you and execute you and then incinerate you leaving no trace.
• That is terrifying.

Aim of Demonetisation

• In this 2nd Anniversary of demonetistion I will like to point out "Aim of Demonetisation"
• The aim of demonetisation was NEVER REALLY TO MAKE A SHORTFALL OF THE MONEY COMING INTO BANKS"
• The aim was whatever the shortfall, the BJP Govt will make the "SHORTFALL WITH THE NEW NOTES"
• The aim of BJP Govt was never that 80% of money came back, so let us brand the 20% which did not come back to the bank as "black money" and use it to cover up the losses of banks or use the funds for the country's development.
• The opposition parties also thought that...initially.
• Govt. will use the shortfall to write off bad debts of big corporates.
• But that was never the aim of this BJP Govt.
• Their aim was to use the shortfall to use notes to make up the shortfall.
• Even if 70-80% of the notes came back, who is checking that...The Govt claimed that 99.3% of the notes returned.
• Which means the 20-30% of notes amounting to lakhs of crores went to the hands of BJP and their friends which are mainly big businesses and corporates.
• Nobody counted how much notes came back.
• It is a logistical nightmare.
• What must have happened, the old notes went straight to incinerator. Nobody ever counted them.
• Basically that was the reason for introducing the 2000 Rupees note, so that will make the job easier.
• Even outsiders who wanted to exchange were allowed at a commission, the commission which went to BJP pockets.
• Example, suppose someone from Samajwadi Party wanted to exchange the old notes with new notes that could only happen through an intermediary who usually would be a BJP affiliated person at high perhaps 60 or 50% commission.
• Means you give 50 lakhs of old notes and get 30 lakhs in new notes and 20 lakhs went to BJP or their affiliated person as commission.
• Lakhs of crores were minted this way.
• And BJP has made enough money to last seven generations.
• That is the harsh reality of demonetisation.
• It was never the intention of BJP to get a "shortfall".
• A shortfall if there was any was made up with new artificial money using the Govt tool of RBI which went to BJP or their affiliated persons accounts (official or unofficial).
• It is the biggest heist of the century perhaps.
• Even if it is repeated again the windfall made by BJP in November 2016 can never ever be matched.
• India is known as "Golden bird" or "Sone ki Chidiya" for this reason alone.
• What the unofficial aim of demonetisation was that was achieved. To make new money from old money even if that money never came back.

Sacred Games

Watched the series Sacred Games on Netflix.

• I liked the series.
• I will see a Brahmin team has made the series.
• I mean surely Anurag Kashyap and others behind Phantom Films are upper caste Brahmins.
• And the underlying phrase "Sirf Trivedi Bachega" and Trivedi is UP Brahmin.
• But the series is not pro-Hindu.
• I feel the underlying theme in the movie is "Hindu terror".
• That is why the cop is shown to be a Sardarji.
• They could have made the hero as Christian but it would not be acceptable to the people who made the series as they are "Upper Caste Brahmins"
• They could not have made the hero Muslim as it would be unacceptable to the viewers as well as the storyline. Because the essence of the story is Hindu vs Muslim. Or Hindu vs Abrahamic religions. Among Abrahamic religions, Islam is the most prominent in the sub continent and hence Hindu vs Muslim.
• So they chose the middle path and that is the religion which came out of confluence of Hindu and Muslim and that is Sikhism.
• And so Saif Ali Khan character is the hero and is Sikh or Sardarji.
• They have left the series incomplete.
• But I can know where it is headed.
• I know it is a wet dream for Maharshtrian hardline Hindu fanatics to destroy Mumbai or Bombay. Then they want to build a "New Mumbai" or "naya Bambai".
• I was there in Mumbai from 1998 to 2001 and I have seen the same when two hardliners were talking to a North Indian panwala in Flora Fountain area about the same thing in 1999 when the Kargil war happened and ended. "Naya Bambai banayenge" was what I had heard which will happen if there is a nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
• These hardline Hindu fanatics from Maharashtra see Mumbai or Bombai as a "British city", a city with the legacy of British rule.
• They see Mumbai the land reclaimed from the sea which did not exist in its present form 200 years ago. 
• And when British left people from rest of India took over the city.
• These hardline Hindu fanatics from Maharshtra cannot digest Bombay being ruled by outsiders like Christians, Parsis, Iranians, South Indians, Rajasthanis, North Indians, Gujaratis, etc.
• Hence solution for them is a nuclear disaster or attack and Bombay gets obliterated from the earth.
• Same thing is shown in the series Sacred Games.
• In last episode they have shown Hindu hardliners have amassed tons of weapons which will be used to unleash a Civil War like situation which is essentially the majority community Hindus unleashing themselves on minority community i.e. Muslims after Mumbai is destroyed.
• That is why Trivedi is in a bunker with all facilities and will survive the nuclear or perhaps chemical attack. And gas masks are shown. The bunker is much like a Cold War bunker which people made to survive the "nuclear winter".
• That is where the series is headed.

Anari

• Watched the above movie after downloading on Tata Sky Video-on-Demand service.
• Yes people I bought a Tata Sky Video on Demand HD + Transfer Box.
• With the box I can record shows and movies.
• I can watch another channel while recording one channel.
• There is only one wire attached to the box.
• I used to think that there would be required two wires at the back for carrying the signal.
• But maybe that was the earlier box.
• With the box which I have now, there is only one wire.
• Also I can download movies and shows using the home Wifi.
• So Anari movie I downloaded and watched.
• This 1959 movie of Raj Kapoor is relevant even today.
• How people do not care if people live or die for making money.
• Disaster means more profit for them and they become greedy.
• Also the villian keeps chanting "Hari Om Tat Sat" but still wants disease to spread and so will make money out of selling medicines.
• When another medicine which looks exactly the same but actually is poison enters teh market they do not recall and tragedy happens.
• That is the story. Worth watching the movie.
• But the owner of medicine factory has change of heart and accepts his fault in the end and that makes the difference.

Vietnam War Documentary

• Watched the Vietnam War Documentary 10 part series on Netflix.
• This was made in 2017. 
• Narrated by Peter Coyote it is a must watch.
• Link is here 10 part series
• I will say this is a must watch.
• And no matter where you are in the world you should watch this.
• This is a story which will remain hidden unless you watch this documentary.
• You should watch this documentary before you die.
• Many myths about the Vietnam War will be dispelled.
• Like I used to think US did not involve itself hard enough and so it lost.
• But fact is it gave all it got.
• Everything short of nuclear weapons. Chemical weapons like Agent Orange included. And also Napalm.
• Napalm was such a weapon which peeled the skins of the enemy. And perhaps vaporised anything in its path.
• Agent Orange made vast tracts of green forests into "orange" and made it easier to spot the rebels also called as "Viet Cong" from air and then drop bombs into them.
• US pounded Vietnam like no country was ever pounded before.
• Three million tons of explosives were dropped more than Japan and Germany combined during/from WW2. 
• In 1960's and 70's in the backdrop of Cold War, US was a close ally of Pakistan
• You feel US is all powerful and could have prevented the breakup of East Pakistan and West Pakistan.
• But the fact is by 1971 the US was deeply divided as a society.
• US COULD NOT HAVE INVOLVED ITSELF IN ANOTHER WAR. PERIOD.
• I deeply admire the bravery and courage and determination of Vietnamese people. I have now got deep respect for them.
• They fought so hard for their independence.
• First they fought the French and DEFEATED THEM and then they fought the most powerful country of the world United States and DEFEATED THEM.
• For the Vietnamese the Vietnam War started as soon as WW2 ended (1945) and ended in 1975 a total of 30 years.
• Perhaps Vietnam is the only country to defeat the Americans the most powerful country of the world.
• Salute to the Vietnamese.
• Indians have sacrificed nothing in comparison for independence.
• But I have read somewhere that British atrocities files have been systematically destroyed over the decades and years.
• In that sense Americans also deserve my salute.
• Because the Americans have chronicled the war and preserved the records.
• I AM 100% CERTAIN THAT NO OTHER COUNTRY WILL PRESERVE THE WAR RECORDS LIKE AMERICA.
• Even if US lost the war the details of war and atrocities and massacres are preserved.
• The makers of the documentary Ken Burns and others have done a great job for the human race. I am deeply grateful to them for making a documentary like this.
• Certain scenes deserve special mention
• Like the scene where military veterans began throwing away their medals at Capitol building after opposing the war.
• Just When North Vietnamese began entering Saigon and the war was about to get over, how the American helicopters piloted by American and South Vietnamese pilots made a dash to the "Flotilla of ships" including aircraft carriers and there was no space to keep them on the boats and so they were dumped to the sea.
• Since the then South Vietnamese President gave a call to lay down weapons when Saigon was invaded and there was no massacre.
• How wars were fought in sparsely populated areas like hills and jungles which were lost as soon as bloody battles were fought and the forces withdrew.
• Another when Life magazine published the photos of the Americans who died on that particular week in Vietnam. More than 200 photos.
• Americans gave their full force to the war. Pounded them with all it got. Let there be no two thoughts about it and STILL THEY LOST.
• I think Trump and all future potential Presidents of US should watch this ten part documentary.
• The story gives the learning that no matter how powerful you are you can still be defeated.
• Body count of the enemy is no measure of success.
• Three million of Vietnamese died compared to fifty eight thousand Americans. AND STILL US LOST.
• 300,000 of Vietnamese are missing and that is a hell lot of people.
• 1500 missing from America and America cant stomach it. Just think three hundred thousand.
• Those of North Vietnamese who became missing perhaps because their bodies got vaporized or turned to dust or their corpses were disposed of the Americans and South Vietnamese following pitch battles using bulldozers.
• It also shows how the Americans fought the "Orientals" just because they looked different. BUT STILL THEY LOST.
• The more I think about it I am inclined to believe that inspite of what happened Pakistan still got together with US to defeat the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and gave the Soviet Union their own Vietnam.
• THERE CANNOT BE A MORE GREATER ALLY FOR AMERICA THAN PAKISTAN.
• Israel is a natural ally for America. And post defeat in Vietnam, America got more and more involved in Middle East.
• Maybe that is what the Jewish think tank wanted. Folks like Kissinger and those who headed the anti-War movement were mostly Jewish and so I learnt.
• Their aim was for America to forget South East Asia and concentrate on and get involved in a massive way in Middle East and the oil rich countries.
• And America is a big giant which came with full force to protect the small giant of Israel.
• Similarly presently in 2018 Pakistan also does not want US to leave Afghanistan.
• As long as US is in Afghanistan Pakistan knows that India cannot attack it with all its might and subdue Pakistan. Before that happens, US will get itself involved as their military would be next door in Afghanistan.
• Back in 1979, popular revolution in Iran overthrew the American puppet Govt of Reza Shah Pahlavi.
• Iran probably got their inspiration from US defeat in Vietnam. They understood that America is not that invincible as they thought. If tiny nation of Vietnam could do it so they could and did not need to be puppet state of US.
• Indira Gandhi was also an astute leader who got the courage to dismember Pakistan after seeing American catastrophe in Vietnam.
• She knew divided America (among pro war and anti War) could never a pose a threat to India.

Hijacking of Gods by Aryans

• This post is to point out how Gods existing in India have been hijacked by the Aryan invaders over the past 5000 years.
• One example I can point out is Sri Jagannath.
• Another I can point out is Lord Balaji of Tirupati.
• Another one is Udupi Sri Krishna.
• The striking resemblance between Udupi Sri Krishna and one African statue holding a spear is strikingly similar.
• Due to these Aryans all Gods are same and as Sri Krishna. Or so we are made to believe.
• We do not dispute that God is everywhere and God is same.
• But that is no reason to "convert Gods" into the same mould as "Lod Krishna" and so on.
• If we see that the west cost of India is somewhat close to Africa.
• And also science says that all human beings originated from Africa.
• Few people from Africa maybe landed in the West Coast of India and established the Udupi deity.
• Then the Aryan invaders came from Central Asia and "converted" the God and temple into one of their own and that is the tragedy of story.
• They erased the history.
• The African inhabitants who came by sea merged into the Aryan society or dispersed into the mountains and jungles and became the tribals.
• African people who landed in India during that time could not resupply but Aryans came from central Asia by land and could grow stronger and stronger unopposed.

Sabarimala Row

• I will say this Sabarimala is an artificial problem created by BJP.
• BJP is anti-Hindu party and it is high time people realise it.
• Basically Hindu believes in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam means the "World is one family"
• But BJP differentiates between "Us and them".
• And they take hardline position against Islam and Christian and Sikhs and Buddhists and other non-religious people (atheists)
• But when it comes to Hindu they do not work for equal rights.
• What is the logic that for Islam they are willing to put bread winners of the family in jail for "Triple Talaq" whereas for Hindus they are denying or protesting entry of women into the temple of Sabarimala.
• It is like their God is not God and our God is the one and only God.
• Their customs are illegal whereas our customs are holier than thou.
• This is double standard to say the least.
• According to me women deserve equal rights as men.
• All religions other than Hindu give more rights to women then we assume to believe.
• Also non religious like Communism also gave equal rights to women.
• In Communism you work for your rights and entitlements does not matter who you are and where you came from.
• It is only Hinduism which differentiates too much between men and women.
• And Hindu hardliners who are mainly Brahmins want to keep it that way.
• BJP think tank of Brahmins is following the British way and British East India company policy of "Divide and Rule"
• Their aim is to disturb the status quo and create ripples in the mud and then gain from the chaos ensuing.
• According to me women deserve equal rights as men.
• And why should rules for Sabarimala temple be any different.
• If we go to Udupi temple or Tirupati temple or Jagannath temple surely we find women and children jostling and pushing to have darshan and all.
• Surely same can be done for Sabarimala.
• The key game is of power.
• Disturb peace in Kerala where the BJP is unable to register its presence.
• Divide the people sentimentally and religiously.
• So in elections they will get all the so called "Hindu" votes.
• BJP is playing the game.
• Firstly raising the bogey of women's entry through its sources and then getting it approved through its stamp of Supreme Court which the State Govt is bound to follow.
• State Govt never wanted to intervene in people practices in the first place.
• But use Supreme Court as a tool from exterior to force Kerala Govt to act.
• Supreme Court is another institution which the BJP can be credited to have destroyed systematically over the years.
• And then activate the cadres in the home state of Kerala against the rulers which are non-BJP.
• Paint the Communist Govt as anti-Hindu.
• People should read between the lines.
• BJP is anti-Women and anti-minorities.
• In lust for power it is willing to destroy fragile society balances.
• It does not stand for equality.
• They stand to impose their own version of "Hinduism" which is not in the true sense.

Amritsar Rail Tragedy

• I will say that Amritsar rail tragedy is a man made tragedy made and done by the Indian railways.
• I will say it was done deliberately and with malicious intent.
• In this age of technology it is fool hardy to think that Railways will not know about a huge gathering on the tracks.
• The main thing was the trains to slow down to perhaps 20 or 30 kms per hour.
• What was the need to rush at 160 kms per hour.
• What is the use of signalling system if it cannot detect such a thing.
• I feel the driver should be sacked.
• Enquiry should be able to find out who gave the "Green Signal".
• Ideally the signal should have been orange and the train should have slowed down completely and should have blown the horn prominently allowing the people to move away.
• But when the train is coming at such high speed exceeding 120 kms/hr, people will have no time to react.
• There should be magisterial level enquiry to find out what happened.
• I will say since Railways which is owned by the Center and BJP is refusing enquiry is all the more glaring.
• BJP has done it deliberately to discredit the Congress Govt in Punjab.
• BJP kills Indian citizens for votes and power.
• Since election is there in 2019, BJP wants to make a issue out of a massacre by Railways and point it to Congress Govt.
• BJP has systematically destroyed Indian institutions over the last four years.
• Railways is just one of those institutions.
• I have seen in a railway crossing when people did not move fast enough, the trains from both directions stopped.
• This happened in Lingaraj Temple Road crossing when I was going by Talcher-Puri passenger and in opposite side from Khurda Road was coming Duranto express.
• I got down at Lingaraj station and was crossing the overhead bridge to exit the platform when I witnessed this.
• If trains can stop at such a case, why they go at 150 kms per hour at Amritsar.
• What is the rush?
• The rush is to kill the people and discredit Congress and Sidhu and Captain Govt.
• Shame on BJP.
• If Congress had been in power then BJP would have led massive protests and heads would have rolled.
• But in BJP no one is accountable or will ever be held accountable.
• BJP will blame the Congress Govt in Punjab while the Railways is owned by Center.
• I was refraining to post anything on Blogspot on politics.
• I was expecting things to sort out themselves.
• But this BJP-RSS Govt is making things from bad to worse and I just cannot take it.
• This tragedy of monumental proportions has jerked me off from my seat.
• In situations like this silence is not golden.
• Being silent is actually being complicit in the crime. Crime of murder.
• Where state institutions have been used as a weapon. Weapon against the people to massacre people.

Fury, Full Metal Jacket

Joined Netflix yesterday and have watched two movies as mentioned above.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fury (2014)

• What a movie. As the name suggests it shows the "Fury", fury of man against man.
• Or the fury against Nazi Germany
• It is worth watching if one has the stomach for it.
• I must say that I liked the movie and it is highly recommended

------------------------------------------------------------------
Full Metal Jacket (1987)

• This is also an excellent movie.
• I feel this movie can divide the people of the world into two halves.
• Those who have seen Full Metal Jacket and those who have not seen Full Metal Jacket
• Stanley Kubrick is excellent filmmaker
• I just realised he also made Eyes Wide Shut.
• This movie is worth working.
• Thank God that such movies exist.
• It captures human race in its moments.
• Moments like the Vietnam War.
• Else the events would get lost in history.
• Basically underlying message in Fury and Full Metal Jacket is the futility of war.
• But Fury makes the war heroes out of victims and Full Metal Jacket shows the victims as victims and not heroes.
• Even if the belligerents belong to the opposing party they are still heroes.
• I mean even the winners are victims because of the fact of PTSD (post traumatic Stress Disorder) which is the outcome of horrifying incidents people faced in war.

Passengers

Passengers

• Watched the above movie on Amazon Prime Video.
• I liked the movie.
• Definite good way to pass time.
• But I felt that there is big flaw in the movie and that is that both the players ( hero and heroine) could have survived.
• I have made the below table:

• Particulars	Years	Hero	Heroine
  Age When they Came out of Pod		30	25
  When they saved the ship	2	32	27
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	35	27
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	35	30
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	38	30
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	38	33
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	41	33
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	41	36
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	44	36
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	44	39
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	47	39
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	47	42
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	50	42
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	50	45
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	53	45
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	53	48
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	56	48
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	56	51
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	59	51
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	59	54
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	62	54
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	62	57
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	65	57
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	65	60
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	68	60
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	68	63
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	71	63
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	71	66
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	74	66
  Taking turns 3 years at a time	3	74	69
  Final 2 years	2	76	69
  Arriving at planet destination	88

• As is visible from the above table, when they arrive at destination planet 88 years later, the hero would be 76 and heroine would be 69 and surviving.
• The trick was to use the pod and taking turns three years at a time.
•  Since there was only one pod, only one would be inside and preserve his/her life by going to sleep.
• Then the other.
• Like this taking turns they would have survived.

Love Sonia, The Predator, Mitron

Watched three more movies even more recently
-------------------------------------------------------------
Love Sonia
This movie was watched at Inox, Inorbit Mall, Malad (West)
I liked the movie.
The movie deals with human trafficking.
What shown in the movie may not exactly happen the way it is shown but happens nevertheless.
I will like to say that any person entering the employment system is like the profession shown in the movie to some extent or the other.
Someone will dominate them and want to get the work done and use them and so on.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Predator
This movie was watched at Cinepolis, Viviana Mall, Thane.
I liked the movie.
Toned down version of the first Predator.
The first Predator was a classic.
These movies are "spin offs" and want to lead the story to "somewhere new".
The "super suit" shown in the end of the movie is just great.
Maybe more to come ahead in the sequel.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mitron
This movie was watched at PVR, Phoenix Mall, Kurla (West)
I liked the movie but I felt they wasted two good songs.
Two very good songs are there in the movie and those are wasted in the end credits.
I feel teh actor, director and producer should have squeezed the songs inside the movie.
Preferable one song before interval and one song afterwards.
Indian people are such taht they would have gone to see the songs only and business would have been better even if to certain extent, better is still better.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Satyameva Jayate, Gold, Vishwaroop 2, Nishijapon

Watched the above four movies recently 
----------------------------------------------------------------
Satyameva Jayate
This movie was watched at Maharaja Talkies.
Okay movie to be watched once.
Amazing how a villian is made as hero in the movie.
That is the magic of cinema.
We can say that even in a movie like Rambo the hero inspite of being a victim is actually a villian but audience never feel so.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Gold
This movie was watched at Keshari talkies.
Ok movie to be watched once.
I don't know what is missing in the movie but feels something is lacking.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vishwaroop 2
This movie was watched at Stutee Cinema.
This is simply a waste of a movie.
Half of this movie is dedicated showing clips from Vishwaroopam part 1.
Maybe Kamal Haasan thinks there is nothing else to show in the second part.
Part 1 is such a "masterpiece" that it is enough as a message.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nishijapon
This Bengali award winning 2005 movie was watched on Lok Sabha TV of DD.
Movie is okay to be watched once no doubt about it.
----------------------------------------------------------------
