Khuda Haafiz, The Secret Garden, 12 O Clock

 Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.

Khuda Haafiz

• This movie was watched on Hotstar. 
• I liked the movie.
• But my problem is why shoot in Uzbekistan and make it as "Noman" which sounds like "Oman" but is shown in the movie to be geographically located in "Yemen".
• If you shoot the movie in Uzbekistan you can set the story in Uzbekistan or you can make it as any Muslim Central Asian nation.
• Why make it as Arab country?
• Just to make the Arabic storyline. Which may not be required, if you ask me.
• Or maybe the financiers wanted it that way.
• Or maybe the makers wanted it to have "multi nation appeal" if the Arabs don't mind being shown as such.
• If it was set in Central Asia, Arabs would not be interested in the movie anymore as it does not concern them.
• Across nations geography, terrain, language, climate and culture will change.
  
• Movie is definitely good for a one time watch
  

The Secret Garden

• This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• Actually British lost the Indian subcontinent when India gained freedom.
• Along with India loss, British lost several hill stations like Ooty, Shimla, Dalhousie, Darjeeling etc
• These hill stations were the repositories of hundreds of thousands of acres of parks and gardens which were like "secret gardens" for the British as the British almost single-handedly ruled India.
• The novel and the movie are by products from the loss of India to the British.
• Movie is okay for a one time watch.
  

12 O Clock

• This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas.
• I liked the movie.
• This is Ram Gopal Varma stable movie.
• The same Ram Gopa Varma who made "Raat" movie.
• In Raat movie there was Om Puri who spoke of "Ananta Andhera" means infinite darkness which surrounds little light that we can see and assume it to be reality.
• Same dialogue is repeated here by the Tantrik Guru Ashsish Vidyarthi who in spite of his knowledge about the darkness cannot save himself in the end.
• Many people fall victim to the sinister force in the movie.
