Mostly Sunny

• Watched the above documentary "Mostly Sunny" on Netflix.
• Trust me people this is a must watch.
• It shows how the world changes between Los Angeles, California and Mumbai, India.
• It is personal story of Karenjit Kaur aka Sunny Leone.
• Goes to place where she grew up in Canada and shows her family, her husband and brother.
• This is probably from 2017 when she did not have kids and now kids are added to her family and that is good for her and her family.
• This is a must watch.
• It shows the difference between Hollywood and Bollywood.
• It shows how much difficult it is to work anywhere be it Bollywood or Hollywood.
• Thousands of people work in Bollywood and how difficult it is make even a single costume.
• Hundreds of people are involved in lighting, makeup.
• Sometimes people need to run around and make things ready.
• That is a task by itself.
• Casting couch is also shown
• It seems "willing to compromise" is a must to work in Bollywood.
• And now they are also putting a line of compromise in application form with checkbox.
• In Hollywood the problem is you may work very hard but few make it to a place where their future is "settled".
• Often at the end of their 10 year odd career in porn industry they are left with no money or future and that is a problem in Hollywood.
• Sunny Leone works hard and that is the reason for her success.
• Sometimes you get to learn more from such documentaries than from movies.
• Now I fear the Bollywood industry will be affected by Corona Virus.
• Because the conditions the craftsmen and other staff live and work are too cramped like in slums.
• But now there has to be social distancing and quarantine period and so on.
• Possibly the teams cannot work in multiple projects or locations.
• Maybe they may shift to a certain location and have to stay put till shooting completes.
• Costs will increase and quantity of movies may decrease.
• But there is a chance quality can improve and lifestyle can also improve.
  

Extraction, Sui Dhaga

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.

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

Extraction

• This movie was watched on Netflix.
• I found this movie very well made technically.
• Action sequences are well coordinated, pictured, sequenced and photographed.
• But my problem is with $ss licking done for Indians.
• And there are serious gaps in the plot.
• Movie is shot in Thailand mostly and they have made it as Bangladesh.
• Why? because the geography of Thailand will resemble Bangladesh more.
• Guess the director must have wanted to make the location Pakistan and then opted against it.
• If he really wanted to lick the Indian $ss he should have made the setting Pakistan.
• But the director probably wanted to try something different.
• There are pretty many movies based in Middle East and that includes Pakistan.
• Guess the director would have been forced to shoot the movie in India or Morocco and pass it off as Pakistan.
• But he opted for Thailand which was made "Bangladesh".
  
• So Bangladesh is made "scapegoat".
• Director probably though he will appeal both to Pakistani and Indian audiences by setting it in Bangladesh.
  
• The movies body count is too high.
• Hundreds die in firing and blasts and so on.
• Why? Because an Indian don's son need to be saved. By whom?
• By Chris Hemsworth who is a mercenary.
• Tell me isn't a mercenary "on hire". If Bangladeshi don is huge he can buy off the mercenary rather than fight him.
• Also Randeep Hooda proabably siphoned off the money which was being paid to Chris and his team as he tells his wife in a phone call to take the money and run off if he doesn't call in 12 hours.
  
• Chris then holds on to the boy as he is the one who gets his payment back.
• But then in the last hour the plot is lost.
• Randeep joins up with Chris to recover the boy.
• If the Indian don is not paying the money to Chris why is their team working for the boy anyway.
  
• Chris and his team are not interested in the money anymore.
• So loose gaps are there in the plot.
• Suddenly it is not about money anymore.
  

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

Sui Dhaaga : Made In India

• This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
• This movie was downloaded in my phone for months but had never watched it.
• Watched it and liked the movie.
• Varun Dhavan did good role in the movie.
• This movie is worth watching.
• You may fall in love with the characters.
  
• You cannot blame nepotism in film industry for any faults.
• People should realise that suicide is bad and should be avoided at all costs like it happened in the case of Sushant Singh Rajput (SSR).
• Varun Dhavan is talented actor with good on screen prescence.
• We cannot blame nepotism for the faults in the film industry.
• But if SSR did not commit suicide but was murdered than case is different and the killers must be caught, exposed and punished.
• Like Shekhar Suman had told that a brilliant mind and person like SSR will not commit suicide just like that.
• He would not have just "given up"
• If he would have committed then there would have been a suicide note somewhere.
• Probably the evidence was made to "disappear" like we see in movies.
  

Shudh Desi Romance, Operation Red Sea

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line and as per below.

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

Shudh Desi Romance

• This movie was watched on Amazon Prime video
• This was one of the early movies of Sushant Singh Rajput (SSR)
• This movie came out in 2013 after "Kai Po Che"
• I cannot understand that two movies came out in quick succession in 2013
• And both were huge success.
• And then in December 2014 came out PK movie.
• So almost for one and half year why was there was no movie of SSR?
• And there was only side role of SSR in PK.
• For this delay and side role Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are to be blamed if anyone is to be blamed.
• Then Detective Byomkesh Bakshi came out in April 2015 (which was a flop movie)
• Then MS Dhoni the Untold Story in September 2016 (this got typecasted SSR as Dhoni).
• What I see there were huge gaps in SSR career but 2013 was a good year for him.
• This movie Shudh Desi Romance is shot in various locations in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur in Rajasthan though the movie is set in Jaipur.
• Rishi Kapoor is also in the movie.
• I had not seen the movie until now but I always felt I had seen the movie.
• So this is an error on my part. I had not seen the movie but I thought I had seen it.
• So this was the first time I saw it and I liked the movie.
• Movie budget was 22 crores but made 75 crores according to sources in Wikipedia.
• So the movie was a hit.
• Good "feel good" movie and you may fall in love with the characters.
• Worth watching once if not more times

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

Operation Red Sea

• This movie was already downloaded in my mobile on Amazon Prime video.
• I came to know when I watched Shudh Desi Romance.
• I saw it in my Downloads folder. (movie Sui Dhaaga is also there, hope to watch it soon)
• So after the Shudh Desi Romance movie I went for this and watched it.
• I must confess I have not seen a more intense action packed movie anywhere.
• Maybe few Hollywood movies may come close.
• But some of the most intense battle scenes including jets, helicopters, ships, speedboats, aircrafts gunfights, fistfights, etc can be seen in the movie.
• In fact from start to end there is nothing but action, action  and more action.
• I liked the movie.
• It is set in Middle East and borrows its ideas from Libya, Iraq, Yemen and Syria wars.
• This is Chinese movie and like "Wandering Earth" is quite well made.
• The thing I liked in the movie that sets it apart from Hollywood and Bollywood is they show casualties on hero side as well.
• In Hollywood and Bollywood they will show hero's team coming out on top without any collateral damage or harming of own team.
• In Hollywood and Bollywood they will show that villian gets completely destroyed in the end.
• But here though the villians get destroyed portions of them survive and they are also able to inflict damage on the hero i.e. good guys.
• Worth watching according to me.

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

Detective Byomkesh Bakshi

• Watched this "Sushanth Singh Rajput" movie Detective Byomkesh Bakshi on Prime Video.
• I liked the movie.
• But I can gauge the mood of the public and they would have not liked the movie.
• Because I am a connoisseur of the arts I liked the movie.
• Ordinary public would not have liked this movie.
• And this movie was just one of the movies which sealed SSR's career.
  
• In the movie ending there is a scope of sequel and since SSR was young when this came out in 2015 there could have been several more sequels why just one sequel.
• But lukewarm response of public sealed the fate of this film.
• The villain found himself in Sacred games series.
• SSR found success in Dhoni movie.
• People must have found the movie too rusty as it shows setting in Second World War Calcutta and shows British, Japanese and Chinese people.
• Indian people being little simple, must have got bouncers from this movie.
• As rest of India is not Kolkata or Bengal
• And World War was a brief history in the history of the world and India and India was not much affected by it.
• And it is long gone history, people who could relate to it would be dead or very old and what are the chances of them watching this movie.
• Also people of Bengal may not relate to a Hindi movie, they have got Bengali stars and movie industry.
• But okay movie to be watched once.
• In cinema theatre people might have got up and walked away I suspect.
• People would have thought their money is wasted in cinema theatre.
• But I watched in Prime Video so I gues it is okay.
• Second time watch would be a torture I feel.
  
  

India China Latest Conflict

• This blog post is for "India China Latest Conflict".
• As we know more than 20 Indian lives are lost in barren wastelands of Ladakh.
• I will say please put a full stop to this conflict.
• Nobody especially Indians can live there where 9 months out of 12 in a year the temperature is below freezing.
• The land is not worth fighting for.
• Narendra Modi and Amit Shah miscalculated China when they abolished Article 370.
• They forgot that China was also part of the Kashmir equation.
• They did strategic mistake of not only abolishing the Special Status of Jammu And Kashmir which was guaranteed through Article 370 but also bifurcated the state into two, namely Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
• I suspect their intention was to separate the China and Pakistan theatre in Kashmir.
• But it backfired as China responded fiercely.
• BJP led India probably wanted to handover newly bifurcated Ladakh to United States or NATO.
• So China could be pestered through a NATO or US base in Ladakh.
• It is part of "encircling" China or "containing China".
• India was only being used as a tool by certain folks in US.
• But majority of US would not want to get involved in outsiders conflict.
• US may like to get into their own created conflicts like Iraq war or Libyan war.
• But India wanted to use US in its conflict with China.
• So who was playing whom?
• India mainly Modi and Shah were thinking that they are playing the US against China and US will fight the "Indian war" against China.
• But US is not that dumb.
• If Modi and Shah are great politicians, bigger and more powerful politicians who are like their fathers are there in US.
• Indian *ss was left uncovered and India got a kick in the *ss from China.
• India can only unleash terror in front of unarmed and hapless Kashmiris.
• But when it comes to China it is like a puppy.
• Now when Modi had said "a puppy comes under the car and we feel sad" regarding the Gujarat Riots and now it is the turn of Indian Army to become in the same position.
• Let it be clear that India is in no position to wage a war against China.
• And let nuclear weapons not come into the question as it will be the "End of the World" as nuclear war will affect not just the nations which are involved but the entire world.
• So what will India do now?
• I suggest, please make LoC and LaC as International Border.
• Give concessions to China, Pakistan and Kashmiris also.
• Withdraw the Army from Kashmir. Because once agreement is reached we don't need Army anymore.
• Then there is more scope where China can be a partner in India's progress.
• The need for Pakistan China Axis will cease to exist if India becomes close with China.
• We can give access to Bay of Bengal to China so there will be development all around the region.
• Personal appeal to Modi and Shah to stop chasing the American dream.
• They (Americans) are only using you for their own narrow minded interests.
• They do not have interests of India and Indian people in mind.
• Please do not get involved in US-China conflict. It would be detrimental to India.
• This is not 1962.
• World was different in 1962.
• Even during that time India got defeated by China but China withdrew from areas it occupied as it feared US involvement.
• But US got involved and "bogged down" in Vietnam subsequently and China-US peace treaty had not happened.
• The peace treaty only happened in 1971 when PRC got the Security Council Seat and Taiwan got evicted. And Soviet Union was marked as enemy of both China and US. Subsequently Soviet Union got 'bogged down' in Afghanistan and lost and got dismembered finally in 1991.
  
• US could not save Pakistan from dismemberment in 1971 when it was losing in Vietnam.
• And now if China takes more and more territory from India, no US will come to its rescue.
• If anything US will want China and India to get into conflict while it would enjoy with popcorn from sidelines.
• And hence, my appeal to India please do not get into conflict with China.
  

Drive 2019 movie

• Watched this Drive 2019 movie on Netflix.
• Yes people I joined Netflix for a month today just for this movie.
• I would appeal to Netflix to come up with Annual Plan so I can join for full year.
• If only for a month means I may unsubscribe before the month ends.
• Also I joined for Mobile only plan as other plans are too expensive according to me.
• Maybe if higher plans are offered as annual plan in discount I may go for it.
• This is Sushanth Singh Rajput (SSR) last movie and that too released as Netflix only and not on big screen.
• I will say the movie is mediocre to say the least.
• If it would have got released on big screen it would have been massive failure.
• From SSR's 11 movies now I have watched nine movies.
• Movies till to watch is Detective Byomkesh Bakshi and Welcome to New York.
• I would also like to revisit Shudh Desi Romance but as far as I can recollect there was not much in the movie.
• This movie Drive is okay for a one time watch.
• Though the plot is simply out of mind and unbelievable.

Chicchore

• Watched this movie Chicchore on Disney Hotstar.
• Starring Sushant Singh Rajput.
  
• I liked the movie.
• It is worth watching.
• Fully of funny moments.
• I am glad all turned out well for the SSR's son in the movie.
• It was bad that the hero could not counsel his son before he decided to plunge.
• But all is well that ends well.
  

M.S.Dhoni The Untold Story

• Watched this movie M.S.Dhoni The Untold Story after Sushanth Singh Rajput (SSR) death.
• Never had seen the movie but always wanted to see it.
• SSR death hastened the process.
• Immediately after the news turned on my Firestick and watched the movie on Disney Hotstar.
• I liked the movie.
• Excellent performance by SSR.
• It is very sad that we will not see his talent again. It is a tragedy.
• Also came to know that SSR was a Rajput from Bihar, just like M.S.Dhoni is. Though state changed to Jharkhand after the split.
• Also stories are a bit similar.
• As Dhoni also came from small town in Bihar and got success just like SSR got.
• Regarding the movie, the movie is 3 hours long.
  
• But for 1 hour 48 minutes the heroine Disha patani does nor enter the scene and in 21 minutes she is gone.
• And then the other heroine Kiara Advani enters in maybe the last forty minutes.
• Movie is worth watching.
• You will get to like both SSR and MSD after watching the movie.
• Both were like outsiders and "fought the cartel"  to become successful.
• Both did not have Godfathers and were self made people.
• The similarity is just more than physical features and size and build.

Sushanth Singh Rajput

• Day before yesterday got the devastating news that Sushanth Singh Rajput is no more.
• Somehow I cannot reconcile that he is gone.
• And that too suicide.
• Somehow my mind does not accept that he would commit suicide.
• And no matter what has been commented elsewhere no one has told that lockdown is the reason for his death.
• Yes people I will hold the brutal lockdown which was imposed since middle of March is responsible for Sushanth Singh Rajput (SSR) death.
• I never knew he was from Patna, Bihar.
• Never looked his bio on Google or Wikipedia.
• First indication was when one of his relative was talking on TV that he did not commit suicide but was murdered.
• That person's accent was Bihari and so I looked up and found that SSR was from Patna.
• Earlier I thought maybe he was from Rajasthan.
• He was a Rajput no doubt, but a Rajput from Bihar.
• Much like M.S.Dhoni whom he portrayed in a "M.S.Dhoni The Untold Story"
• M.S.Dhoni also is a Rajput from Bihar which became Jharkhand after splittting Bihar.
• Is it possible that he may be murdered? I will say it is possible.
• What happened that day shows that he had his juice and then retired to his room.
• Never came out for breakfast.
• Is it possible that his drink was spiked means drugged?
• Then he was hanged by people.
• And then it was made to look as suicide.
• Yesterday his cremation was done also.
• Now there is no proof of the body as well as in the case of Christian or Muslim burials where the body does till decomposition and can be extracted later.
• So with body gone it becomes only a matter of twisting the reports.
• All extraction of body parts for forensic reports will not get any result as results would be twisted in the final reports.
• Remember the people who murdered him if he was killed would be very powerful.
• Perhaps like a cartel. "You go against us and you will never work in this town again"
• Or "if you go against us you will never be seen in this town again"
• We have heard the saying, if you live in a pond never fight with the crocodile of the pond.
• Else obviously the result is known.
• Now who may have killed him, if he was?
• They could be the powerful men and women of film industry.
• Or they could be Hindu extremists as we have seen SSR in his roles in movies portrays Muslims in a favourable light.
• Essentially he is for "all religions need respect" and not just Hindus.
• He also portrayed a Pakistani in the movie PK.
• By his roles he was making Muslims more acceptable in society and that was unacceptable to extremist Hindus.
• Maybe due to that reason he rejected many roles, roles which Hritik Roshan or Akshay Kumar or Siddharth Malhotra took up.
• So SSR career suffered.
• Even if he was not directly killed, circumstances were created so that he would not get any roles.
• Coupled with the brutal lockdown, that got the better of SSR.
• He was a Bihari also which I came to know only day before yesterday.
• But others knew he was a Bihari.
• We know though Biharis are all pervasive in three cities of Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai but they are treated as second class citizens in those three important cities.
• Even people in the film industry think so.
• They have no qualms in portraying Bihari characters but when paying respect to Biharis they come close to zero for reasons political or otherwise.
• Since Mumbai is in Maharashtra where Marathi is main culture and language, conflict between Marathi and Hindi speaking North Indians is there since long.
• Even compared to people from UP, people from Bihar are treated worse.
  
• So some people must have thought better to get rid of him.
• But those people forget how much  he was loved by people including youngsters and he would be missed severely by them.

CoronaVirus-Covid19 update for JUN 2020

• The subject of this blog post is "CoronaVirus-Covid19 update for JUN 2020"
• I have updated for May 2020, April 2020 and Jan-Mar 2020. The links are as below:
• http://anupsabat.blogspot.com/2020/05/coronavirus-covid19-timeline-for-may.html
• http://anupsabat.blogspot.com/2020/04/corona-virus-timeline-april-2020-onwards.html
• http://anupsabat.blogspot.com/2020/03/corona-virus-timeline.html
• Now the thing that put me in a quandary is that should I go on updating for June, July, August and so on.
• Then I took the decision. It has to stop somewhere.
  
• And so I have stopped.
• And now unfortunately I have to inform the following:
• THERE WILL BE NO UPDATE FROM MY SIDE IN THE MONTH OF JUNE.
• May month update for Covid19/Corona Virus will be last from my side.
• There are several reasons for that few of which I will outline below:
• I feel like this wild goose chase, I mean this Corona Virus is a scam and a sham.
• I feel people are not dropping like flies.
• So many months have passed and in India only 5,000 have died.
• I mean more die of natural cases than Covid.
• By keeping on updating for Corona Virus makes me like a fool and I cannot keep fooling myself
  
• This Covid is just a scare to make the iron more malleable and shape in to the form "they" want.
• Iron are the people who are being hammered by "them"
• Who are "they" and "them" you may ask.
• I will not say "they" are Jews or Zionists.
• They are bigger than Jews or Zionists.
• As Jews and Zionists are also subject to "THEM"
• We can call them "The Illuminati" and they control the future of the globe and shape the world in what "shape" they want.
• Even if we do not accept someone as "The Illuminati" is in control, we have to assume some "higher power" is dictating what is happening in the world.
• This "higher power" makes us believe in "Karma" or "Cycle of birth and rebirth" or controls the wind, the rain, the sun and the rotation of the earth.
• Half of the world believe that this higher power controls everything in this world and nothing cannot happen without its explicit permission even the rustling of leaves.
• And this higher power should decide what is best for this earth and the human race.
  
• Another example is people are being made as "sheep". They are being led in a pack. Through the dark and into the light. The dark means the pandemic and all and the light means future.
• This would be done by someone resembling human and not "higher power".
  
• Let us face it. Scaring people to do something is very simple as this lockdown has shown.
• I do not have to play a part in this.
• Even if Covid19 proves more fatal in future like hundreds of thousands of deaths, I am not coming back with the updates.
• You all can look to other sources for the news and the latest updates.
• My job is over on May 31, 2020. I will not update the news any more.
• I may continue the update the old three blog posts as mentioned above which are till May 31, 2020.
  
• This is "freedom" and "azaadi" and "mukti" and "Nirvana" for me.
• I do not need to follow the Covid19 news anymore. No more updates from my side through the blog posts. Enough is enough.
