Bahubali 2 The Conclusion, The Last Don, Freebirds

Watched three movies as mentioned above.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bahubali 2 The Conclusion
This movie was watched on the big screen.
More specifically it was watched at Rockline mall, Carnival cinemas after taking a card which allows me to watch unlimited movies. www.moviecardindia.com
Movie is okay for a one time watch.
I personally felt that Part 1 was better. I had watched Part 1 in the computer I think.
I did not see it on the big screen.
Part 2 similarly can be enjoyed in the computer when DVD print gets released or HD channel when it comes on TV.
Second time the movie can give serious headache that is what I feel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Last Don
This movie was watched on Miniplex HD Channel on Airtel Digital Tv after recording in pen drive.
This movie has a little bit of Raees in it.
how illegal bootlegging is done in dry state of Gujarat. And again it shows that Muslims are involved in this.
We do not know the reality. The reality could be that mostly Hindus would be involved but the movie will not show it. Movie will show that only Muslims do illegal activity and that is wrong. But in BJP ruled India it will be a sacrilege to show it otherwise.
Movie is okay for a one time watch.
Upron googling I have come to know that this movie got released in 2014 whereas Raees got released in 2017. So it is clear that Raees stole the plot of this movie. Raees makers including SRK have made a copy of this movie.
Interestingly I feel that this low budget movie is far better movie than Raees.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Freebirds
This movie was seen on Tata Sky Video on Demand Channel.
Like I had said earlier, Tata Sky downloads some show and movies automatically when pen drive of 8GB and above it attached to the box and left overnight and this movie got downloaded.
This movie is about two turkeys who go back in time to get the concept of Turkey dinner at Thanksgiving reversed.
Movie can be watched once without any problem.

Insidious 3, Haramkhor, Kabali, The Legend of Michael Mishra

Watched four movies as mentioned above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Insidious 3
This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video. Movie can be watched once without any problem.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Haramkhor
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital TV after recording on Pen drive.
This movie can be watched once without any problem. It deals with affair between a master and a student and side story is of two kids who are very naught so as to speak and the end is shown.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kabali
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital TV after recording on Pen drive.
This movie is what I call a "South Thunder" movie. Mainly Tamil movie. It shows the Tamil culture to max and the setting is Malaysia where Kabali is a don and he does not want to be a don but circumstances make him go on the wrong path.
Movie shows the way Indians and Tamils are not united and Chinese and Malays are in conflict with the Indians after the White rulers have left over the years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Legend of Michael Mishra
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital TV after recording on Pen drive.
This movie is too good. I mean one has to watch it to believe it.
Similar to Kabali where the hero does not want to go in wrong path but is inadvertently drawn to it. And upon falling in love he makes an effort to reform himself due to a misunderstanding but the same "reforming" is the one which ultimately makes him get the girl.

Escape from Planet Earth, Smurfs 3, Noor, Ghazi Attack, London has Fallen

Watched 5 movies as mentioned in the subject line.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Escape from Planet Earth
This movie was watched on Tata Sky HD Video on Demand. Yes Tata Sky through "push technology" is sending movies, documentaries and serials when we leave in standby mode with a pen drive of minimum 8 GB attached to it.
This was the first movie I watched or rather Tata Sky has provided.
Yes in front of Tata Sky we are like beggars. Whatever it dishes out we are consuming.
So far I have watched Bear Grylls documentaries and few Hindi serials through this mode. Main is we do not have control as to what is getting downloaded.
Also once downloaded it is prudent to watch it fast because Tata Sky removes those videos as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smurfs 3
This movie was watched on Carnival Cinemas using the movie pass which I bought at www.moviecardindia.com
This movie pass is getting completed and will get over on April 30th.
This movie is too good. Means you see it and you can tell that Hollywood animation movies are the best in the world. Indian animation will come nowhere close. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noor
This movie was watched on Carnival Cinemas using the movie pass which I bought at www.moviecardindia.com
This is a Pakistani story which has been transplanted to Mumbai India. And what I feel India is already quite advanced and for a country like Pakistan this movie and styory may be revolutionary but I felt this does not fit properly in Mumbai context.
But if we look at it deeper it can be made in a variety of regional languages in India like Tamil or Assamese or Malayalam and it will gel fine.
It is confusing but we have to acknowledge that making a movie is a tough job and the effort needs to applauded anyways.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ghazi Attack
This movie was watched on Amazon prime video and it is a very well made movie.
Special effects are too good and feels real.
Though loaded with Indian nationalism we have to realise that it is a war situation and one side has to win in a war. But actually there would be casualties on both side but the submarine situation means the waters can belong to only one navy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
London has Fallen
This movie was watched on Internet. it was a DVD print and enjoyable with subtitles. Yes, we can still search for the movies and TV serials we want without paying money to Netflix and Amazon prime.
Movie is enjoyable and okay to be watched once without any problem.

Koti Surya vs Surya Koti


  • "Koti Surya vs Surya Koti" is the topic of this blog post.
  • Actually we had done a puja and the brahmin who had come said "Koti Surya" instead of Surya Koti in the hymn below.
  •  In English it would translate "A prayer to crores of Suns vs crores of prayers to the Sun"
  • As we know crore means 10 million.
  • And Sun is the one and only star in our solar system.
  • Now where does this arise?
  • It arises in the hymn to Lord Ganesha "Vakratunda Mahakaya, Suyakoti Samprabha, Nirvignam kurume Deva Sarva Karyeshu Sarvada" Link is here
  • Now we know Sun is the main "star" in our solar system.
  • Without the Sun there would be no life on earth.
  • Is it true? We need to analyse.
  • Scientists have told that there 100 billion stars in our galaxy.
  • They have further told that there are at least 100 billion galaxies.
  • We can safely assume that each galaxy could have a 100 billion stars on average. Some may be having less and some may be having more.
  • Now in a situation like this we can safely assume that not all stars have planets.
  • Even if all stars could have planets, not all stars will have planets that could sustain life.
  • So what makes life possible?
  • Is it our star the Sun? or is it the planets, including the moon? What makes life possible?
  • I have put two pictures here. First is from Angels and Airwaves music video "The Adventure". There they show a surreal landscape with two or three planets and a sun. the fact is that the landscape is not from another planet but it belongs to our very own earth.
  • Next I would like to point out to the flag of Islam. Where they show a star and a crescent. Sample displayed here is the flag of Mauritania. But same flag pattern is there in various countries.
  • Now there is no doubt that the crescent displays the moon.
  • But the star? What is the star in the Islamic flag? Things are simple if the star symoblizes the sun. Then the flag becomes more meaningful.
  • It shows that the powers of the sun become contained in this solar system and life is possible.
  • These "powers" are contained by the moon. the moon is protecting the earth.
  • We know sun is very powerful. It is ball of fusion happening continuously. That sun can bring about a lot of destruction in its wake. The temperature in the Sun can be up to 15 million degrees Celsius
  • Now what makes surface temperature in earth just right (around 15 degrees Celsisus over a vast area) to sustain life. It could be the moon.
  • Why does the earth rotate?
  • Earth not only goes around the sun it also spins on its own axis which makes night any day possible. And the tilt of the earth gives rise to seasons of winter and spring.
  • Earth has a twin and that twin is the moon. The twin of earth is constantly watching on earth. Though the twin does not sustain life I have a strong feeling that due to the moon influence that life is possible on the earth. 
  • Also the closest celestial body to the earth is the moon.
  • Scientists may debate as to how the moon was formed billions of years ago.
  • One of the reason could be two planets collision which gave rise to the moon and the bigger earth.
  • Now again in the Islamic flag what does the star signify?
  • If it does not represent the Sun it could be others like Venus or Mars or Jupiter and Saturn.
  • We can always see Venus which is known as the "evening star"
  • 'Mars' is the planet which scientists say once had an atmosphere and water and rivers and perhaps even sustained life.
  • Some scientists even go to the extent that earth life came from Mars which can't be proved. It is just a belief.
  • 'Jupiter' and Saturn are huge planets and they are also "protecting the earth".
  •  
  • What are they protecting against.
  • They are protecting against asteroids and comets which may harm the earth irreparably. 
  • Because Jupiter and Saturn are huge, asteroids and comets and meteorites will get drawn to them and crash and earth will be saved from the collision.
  • Now when we see the planets in naked eye from the earth they appear small. Small like stars. And we have learnt since childhood that only the stars will twinkle (or flicker). Nothing of that sort will happen to planets which will not twinkle as the distance is less and their lights are mere reflection of the Sun.
  • Thus in the Islamic flag the crescent is the moon and if the star is the Sun then definition is easier. Or else it could be any other planet of Solar System which appears small like a star here in earth.
  • And it needs to be thought over.
  • Is life on earth possible due to the Sun or the moon and the planets of Jupiter and Saturn. Which is more important? For life?
  • If there was no moon could life be possible?
  • If any other "star system" does not have huge planets like Jupiter and Saturn protecting an inner planet like the earth would life be possible there.

Begum Jaan, 13 Hours The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

Begum Jaan
Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
This movie was atched at carnival Cinemas using the movie pass which I have bought at www.moviecardindia.com.
This movie has been shot in Jharkhand and they have made a Punjab border at the time of independence from the location. I guess the movie is okay for a one time watch. Movie deals with a whore house over which India-Pakistan border is to go as per the Radcliff line which was to be used for partition.
13 Hours The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
This movie was watched on Amazon Prime video.
This is a war movie but at crucial scenes they have shown that war is no solution. Like in the last scene where it is shown that the hero tells the CIA chief at Benghaji that he does not need to stay there anymore.
Also the way local forces at daybreak escort the remaining Americans to the airport is worth watching. It becomes clear that occupation cannot be tolerated or is just not possible in this modern age. It is always worthwhile to work with existing Governments on the ground than risk alienating the people and making war happen.

Fast and Furious 8, Mirza Juliet

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
Both the movies were watched at Rockine Mall, Carnival Cinemas using the monthly pass which I had purchased at www.moviecard.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fast and Furious 8
This movie is like an American propaganda movie. As usual Russians are villians in the movie. And Russians suffer the most in the movie that is what is shown.
Also it is shown that the new America is not white and it is black or mixed race prevail. White don't get wiped out. They get side roles. Like Kurt Russell or the guy from the Taylor Swift video "Widest Dreams". Other non-English speaking country whites are villians or they suffer. The English speaking countries people like Jason Statham get side roles just like the whites of America.
If we look at history of Cold War between USSR and the West we can say much of the victory which the West had was due to propaganda movies from Hollywood, fake news from the press and TV and very less was actually based on reality.
Movies like James Bond and Fast and Furious or the Hunt for Red October are actually movies.
Star Wars program, Moon landings, people being better off in the West etc were actually fake.
Reality is the support for Mujahedeen and dictators and actual military action like in Vietnam.
Thus 50% is false propaganda. 25% is false News and 25% much be reality and hence the West won due to that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mirza Juliet
This movie is actually quite good. This is far better than the big budget actors movie which are actually the movies which are marketed well and show a false sense or same old version of reality. This actually a well directed movie and and well edited and acting is good and cinematography and showing of locations is quite well. It may not be big budget but it is well made and that is my opinion.
