Raghu Romeo, Haseena Parkar, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Chef, Blade Runner 2049, Judwaa 2

Watched six movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Raghu Romeo
This movie was watched on Tata Sky where it got downloaded into the pen drive.
This 2003 movie is a must watch and proves Vijay Raaz is an actor par excellence.
In the movie the Vijay Raaz character falls in love with a TV character and that is the story of the movie.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Haseena Parkar
This movie was watched at Cinepolis Orion East Mall.
Movie is definitely well made and enjoyable.
But according to me does not match "Daddy". But anyway lot of effort would have gone in making the movie and that is commendable.
Shradha Kapoor also portrays the character quite well.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
It is definite enjoyable movie. There is like a suitcase and all creatures live in it. And it is crazy. Definitely must watch.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Chef
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline mall.
Saif Ali Khan essays the role of dad quite well.
In short this is clean movie and can be enjoyed with the family.
But what Rajeev Masand said and I heard on radio I do agree is that the food images and presentation has not been captured well.
Certainly food could have been better presented.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Blade Runner 2049
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline mall.
This movie is another crazy movie coming from the Hollywood stable.
I must say that certain scenes have been edited out in Indian screens like images of nudity have been zoomed so that nothing is visible.
But still movie is like a dystopian view of the future. But death is still real.
And that is what they have shown whether clones or not they still die.
Movie can be given a skip unless one wants to waste time and money.
If that is the best Hollywood has to offer than the future is really bleak.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judwaa 2
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline mall.
It is a good movie in the sense that 90's movie has been remade in 2017 and is enjoyable.
Looking back Arjun Kapoor also came in double copy movie. But that was one with a Sardarji character so it was easier to "make a difference" in the role.
Here acting is the only skill Varun Dhavan has and he did good I feel.
And Jacqueline is always ready to wear skimpy clothes and I feel her beauty is better captured than the "A Gentleman" movie.
Tapsee Pannu also skips to bikini because the role demands it and does good.
Better "skin show" in the movie than Mubarakaan I feel.

Elphintstone Road Tragedy at Prabhadevi

  • Last week there was stampede and deaths at the commercial capital of India Mumbai.
  • It is like a scene from the dark ages.
  • It is a joke on people of India and Mumbai when Narendra Modi has launched Bullet train from Mumbai to Ahmedabad and now this tragedy.
  • Narendra Modi and BJP should improve existing infrastructure instead of trying to build a Bullet train.
  • When will people of Mumbai and India get a good infrastructure that they deserve and be proud of.
  • Surely new local trains can be introduced with new coaches and all.
  • Bullet trains are least of necessity.
  • I am aware of the foot over bridge between Parel and Elphinstone Road station.
  • Also am aware of renaming of Elphinstone Road to Prabhadevi.
  • https://www.ndtv.com/mumbai-news/mumbais-chhatrapati-shivaji-terminus-elphinstone-station-renamed-1690420
  •  Now paid media is covering the news as Elphinstone Road tragedy.
  • Why are they doing like this?
  • They only want to drag Lord Elphinstone name into the tragedy.
  • They fail to realise that the station has already been renamed as Prabhadevi.
  • Why cant they call the disaster as Prabhadevi tragedy assuming the tragedy happened at Western railway corner. 
  • If it happened at Central Railway end of the foot over bridge it should be called as Parel tragedy
  • The Parel station is part of Central railway and Elphinstone Road is part of Western railway.
  • There is only one foot over bridge which goes all the way from one platform in Western railway to the platform in Central railway.
  • Dadar station is also linked but there are several foot over bridges and very wide foot over bridges are there.
  • But in Elphinstone Road there is only one bridge.
  • Dadar is a big station where long distance trains also halt but Parel and Elphinstone Road are the stations where only local trains halt.
  • They are dragging Lord Elphinston name and want to absolve themselves of responsibilty which is shameless.
  • They should take ownership and call it as Prabhadevi disaster.
  • Nothing to be ashamed of own failures.
  • Disaster is our Indian people own making. Not to blame Lord Elphinstone for the mess.
  • Since it came under a no man land where Central Railway and Western railway areas meet they did not take responsibilty and did not improve the infrastructure.
  • It is also that area where water always collects first during heavy rains in Mumbai.
  • I know it from personal experience when water filled up in year 2000 while I was going to office for audit work and after 30 minutes waiting in stationary train we got down and walked.
  • Local people had formed a human chain to help the train passengers avoiding wandering off and (supposedly) drowning.

Newton movie

Watched Newton movie at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline Mall.
  • As I get to hear this movie is the official movie entry from India for Oscars.
  • This movie is good movie but not great.
  • It is not great because there is strong message in teh movie which does not bear well for reality.
  • If we analyse the story it is kind of depressing.
  • Now why is it good?
  • It is good because it has shown the different characters quite well.
  • Characters like the CRPF Officers, Soldiers, the village folk, the Tribal who is part of their team, the tribals who now work for the CRPF, the hero and his associates etc.
  • It shows the way how election in India is a sham and scam.
  • And very often the uneducated people will not know how to vote and will vote like the Electronic Voting Machine is a toy.
  • It shows that whoever is in power the aim of the politicians is to loot the nation.
  • In the case of tribals it is even worse because for mining they are expelled from their "ancestral lands".
  • It can be said that the tribals or "Adivasis" are the original inhabitants of the region known as India.
  • The country of India has been subject to various invasion over centuries.
  • Now the main portion of India is North India and people who have Hindi as their mother tongue.
  • They can be called as "Aryans".
  • And these Aryans are continuing their conquest in India till today.
  • Their aim is exploitation of lands belonging to the original inhabitants of the region known as India.
  • And BJP is an Aryan party.
  • And BJP created the states of Chhatisgarh and Jharkhand so as to exploit the mineral rich regions.
  • Ultimately it is those Aryans who will dominate the region known as India.
  • This movie is like Avatar in that sense. But it is not happening in a far away planet.
  • But it is happening in present day Bharat or India.
  • Towards the end and the song in the end also says that we need to keep doing our work.
  • Thus the tribals or Naxals or Naxalites are fighting for a lost cause.
  • Because election is a farce and no one of their choice can ever get elected.
  • Their destiny is to get ruled by outsiders and that is reality.

Waar, Kingsman, Bhoomi

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------
Waar
This 2013 Pakistani movie was watched on Netflix.
  • Though I had seen the movie on Youtube earlier.
  • I like Netflix for that reason that many Pakistani shows and movies are there for us Indians to see.
  • I had seen a Pakistan movie "Na Maloom Afraad" on Netflix earlier and totally enjoyed it.
  • According to me Pakistani movies should be shown in india.
  • Pakistani TV shows should be allowed on TV like Zindagi channel used to show earlier.
  • And Pakistani TV channels should be shown on Tata Sky and Airtel DTH platforms. There should be no restriction.
  • This movie can be watched again and again and be enjoyed.
  • It shows who the real enemies of Pakistan are and they are India and India backed terrorists.
  • And to defend their "motherland", Pakistan people are ready to pay great sacrifice.
  • It also shows that "failure is not an option" for these India backed terrorists.
  • Because in the end, the Indian agent who is unable to achieve the "target" is "taken out" by them.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kingsman
This movie was seen at carnival Cinemas, Rockline mall.
  • Movie can be seen once without any problem. 
  • There is a US President like Trump in the movie who does not want to solve the drug problem by giving anti dotes but rather waits for the drug addicts to die.
  • And that is acceptable to the Kingsman people who take out one agent from the US ally "Statesman". And that scene was unacceptable to watch.
  • But that was bound to happen because he did not want the anti dotes delivered maybe the director though worthwhile to eliminate him.
  • Maybe they thought millions of lives needed to be saved even if those lives were of the drug addicts. 
  • That agent from Statesman happened to be the agent from Narcos.
  • Apart from that it was all okay.
------------------------------------------------------------
Bhoomi
This movie was seen at carnival Cinemas, Rockline mall.
  • This movie is okay for a one time watch.
  • Towards the end when we find that the rapists are getting killed.
  • They are shown as committing suicide rather than being killed.
  • I mean two are shown being killed and two commit suicide.
  • I mean what is the need for the director.
  • Maybe the director though that if they show the killing then the audience will lose sympathy for the hero.
  • Thus suicide was shown.
  • But after the movie I thought.
  • To see Sanju baba after many years many people would have come to the theatres.
  • Some people would be poor like daily wage earners and they will be earning let us say 250 per day nd then they will spend 200 for the ticket in a multiplex.
  • And then they watch such a kind of movie.
  • And now when they want a refund no one will pay them back.
  • Thus they lose their hard earned money.
  • Maybe that is the way the entertainment movie industry works.
  • There is no refund policy.
  • If you do not like a movie there is no recourse.
------------------------------------------------------------

India speech at UN

  • India gave two doses of speech at UN
  • One was given as reply to Pakistan by one assistant lady and other by Sushma Swaraj.
  • I did not hear the speech and but you can expect Indian media to give widespread publicity to the same.
  • Important points to be noted were "Terroristan" tag to Pakistan
  • And another was IIT IIM in India and JEM LET in Pakistan.
  • Now I would like to say what India is trying to do here.
  • Traditional enemies of US have been North Korea, Syria, Iraq and Iran.
  • Now Iraq was subject to invasion, 12 year long embargo and no fly zone and then in 2003 another invasion and civil war and totally destroyed in the process.
  • Post 2011 there was civil war and destruction in Syria, Libya, Sudan and Yemen.
  • Somalia was already ruined earlier.
  • Now who are left out. Left out are North Korea and Iran who continue to be enemies of US.
  • In "South Asia" the way American like to call it, there was invasion and occupation of Afghanistan since 2001.
  • The former colonial power Britain likes to call "South Asia" as "Indian Subcontinent".
  • Now Britain knows what India is. 
  • Britain knows India is the true power in the geographical region known as the Indian subcontinent. 
  • It ruled the region as one till 1947.
  • Then, there was division and Pakistan came into being.
  • India allied with Soviet Union and Pakistan found natural alliance with United States.
  • Thus it was US interest to relegate India to second place and call "Indian subcontinent" as "South Asia"
  • US interest historically is to treat India as second class and unimportant.
  • For the US Pakistan became ally during Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan.
  • It was ally since 1960's when US used to monitor China and Russia from bases in Pakistan.
  • Now after invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistan continued to be important as all important supplies were routed through Pakistan to Afghanistan.
  • That is the reason for conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
  • Even though both countries are Muslim they are in conflict.
  • Afghanistan thinks anything bad happens it is due to Pakistan.
  • But Afghans fail to realise that their country is under occupation by one of the longest dragging conflict in the world.
  • What is India trying to do now?
  • India is trying to woo US from Pakistan to India.
  • Indian wants to offer itself to US.
  • India fails to realise that US has never been an ally of India.
  • In fact, Iran was a bigger ally of US before the Revolution in 1979 than India ever was.
  • Now I had mentioned in an earlier blog post that Iran is a Shia country and India through majority being Hindus is much like a Shia country itself. (Hindus are like Shia)
  • Thus by keeping and bringing focus on Pakistan, India is telling to US, "Hey US, don't target Iran, target Pakistan".
  • And come to us for any help against Pakistan.
  • And give us footing in Afghanistan where we too want to loot the Pashtun people, or Pathans.
  • The conflict in Afghanistan is essentially a conflict between the Pathans or Pashtuns and the Rest of the World and Hindus i.e. India too want a share. 
  • It is as much of a racial conflict as it is against a so called enemy of "terrorists".
  • In my points above remember I have not mentioned, Saudi Arabia, Kashmir, China or CPEC.
  • The above four make it even more complicated.
  • But US should wonder whether India is an honest ally especially with BJP-RSS (hardcore Hindus) in power.
  • It is my view and point to US that India does not deserve to be ally of US.
  • In fact India and Indians have desire of world domination and for them US and Australia and Britain are not important.
  • India and Indians want to rule over these Western countries.
  • And if US and Britain and Australia and Canada do teh Indians bidding, they risk losing importance in the world.
  • According to me Pakistan and US are natural allies.

POTUS Speech at UN

This blogpost is about Donald trump POTUS Speech at UN.
  • I will say that the speech was very disappointing.
  • I did not hear from beginning and maybe I missed 5 or 10 minutes of the beginning.
  • I will say on one hand he respects the nation state and in the other he wants to violate their sovereignty.
  • On one hand he shows respect for human rights and democracy and on the other wants to bomb countries into extinction.
  • On one hand he talks of cooperation among nations of the world and in the other hand wants to impose sanctions on selected regimes.
  • From the looks of it and what I read in Twitter he is like a dictator and gangster and Hitler all rolled into one.
  • After United States intervention ruined the countries of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and others, now he also singled out the countries of North Korea, Iran, Venezuela and Cuba for conflict.
  • I will say he is toeing the lines of Israel.
  • And is into "ass smelling" of Bibi i.e. Netanyahu.
  • If you ask Trump what Netanyahu's ass smells like he will be able to tell.
  • He is shame on United States and the world.
  • he only used Obama and Hillary Clinton misdeeds to promote himself and become President.
  • Like Aam Aadmi Party in India and Shankar Singh Vaghela in Gujarat Bernie Sanders (also a Jew) was distraction to weaken the Democrats so that Donald Trump becomes President in the end.
  • AAP only is there for divison of teh votes so that BJP benefits in the end.
  • Similarly Bernie was tehre in Democrats so that Hillary is wekened and Donald becomes President in teh end.
  • The Jews knows how to twist the democracy and democratic system to put a puppet regime in power.
  • And Donald Trump is a gold cast Jew made President.
  • And that is a great tragedy for the world.
  • Because the enemies of Jews are the whole world.
  • According to Jews anyone who is a non-Jew is a gentile and worse than animal.
  • I agree that Obama and Hillary were also toeing the lines of Jews but they were doing that in secret.
  • Now Donald Trump is doing in open.
  • He used the "misdeeds" of US like "exporting democracy" through "Arab Spring" in 2011-12 done under Hillary and Obama and promised something different.
  • Now it is out in the open so there are newer targets like North Korea and Venezuela and soon to come maybe Pakistan and China.
  • Thus Trump wants to expand the "theatre of war" to bigger area.
  • We have seen that the countries of Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Libya are ruined in the craze of so called "democratic values".
  • Fool President does not realise that due to US threat countries like North Korea and Iran are taking steps to defend themselves.
  • Fool President does not reralise that war does not solve any problems.
  • Rather it creates orphans, martyrs, widows and ruins the countries where it is fought.
  • He lied during election.
  • He told that US needed to work with existing Govts. and now he wants to continue the policy of regime change which will bring ruin the countries and societies where it wants.

Simran, Lucknow Central, Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi, Chutkan Ki Mahabharat

Watched four movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Simran
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline Mall.
This movie is good for a one time watch.
But there are few faults in the movie.
  • Kangna has been living in USA for more than 7 years.
  • And she did not visit Las Vegas.
  • It is highly unlikely that she would not have visited Las Vegas while when she does visits the same shown in the movie she goes there like it is two blocks away. 
  • And then she gets addicted to gambling in jiffy.
  • Highly unlikely when she is a hardworking woman as shown in the movie she would value her money anyways.
  • It would have been better that she would have gone all the way and ended up with the criminals as they had already thought a name for her, Shakira.
  • Then the movie would have continued like Narcos.
  • But she gave herself up and then what happened.
  • It became "Orange is the New Black"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lucknow Central
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rocklin Mall.
This movie is good and best of the three released this week.
  • After watching this movie I have got deep appreciation of Farhan Akhtar.
  • I mean in Daddy movie he played Dawood Ibrahim though his name was Mustaaq in the movie.
  • And in this movie he has played a near perfect role.
  • Though he is a Hindu in the movie he has played very true to his roots which is Muslim and more particularly an Indian Muslim.
  • And Farhan Akhtar is better than the three Khans in that respect.
  • He realises that Indian Muslims have to stand up for the cause of Indian Muslims.
  • If Indian Muslims take the side of the Hindus, they risk getting wiped out.
  • Because Hindus have no respect for Muslims be it from whichever part of the globe they belong to including Indian Muslims and that is the harsh reality.
  • Thus when Indian Muslims take the side of Hindus blindly they have to pray to the Hindu Gods, apply Tilak and give up their Muslim values.
  • And all the three Khans have done it several times in their career.
  • What to do? After all it is a case of livelihood. They have to dance to producer director tunes and cannot risk alienating their Hindu fan base.
  • But Farhan Akhtar can take the risks because he is not that big star and is not mad after stardom.
  • But what he really likes. He likes to Rock.
  • And that is fact. Farhan Akhtar has been a star of several rock shows in reality.
  • In movie also he made Rock On movie.
  • This movie can verily be Rock On 3.
  • This movie is must watch.
  • After getting into prison for a crime he did not commit, the hero thinks of an escape plan during a rock show being organized in the premises.
  • But when the point comes to escape he backs out due to the love of leading the band and performing in front of an audience.
  • Movie is full of emotion and can be enjoyed by all.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline Mall.
  • This movie should be watched because the way story is projected and the difference visible between Punjabi and Gujarati.
  • In Lucknow Central also there is a scene in the movie where a Sikh inmate wants to "escape to south" with his girlfriend. And that South happens to be Gujarat.
  • So what we find that Gujarat is "south" for Punjabis.
  • It is okay movie can be watched once without any problem.
  • Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal have done good roles in the movie.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Chutkan Ki Mahabharat
This movie was watched with Tata Sky Video On Demand Service where the movie dowloaded itself to the attached pen drive.
  • Movie is too good and must watch.
  • My love and appreciation of Tata Sky has increased.
  • As Tata Sky downloads gem of movie.
  • This deals with a boy who dreams and reality changes.
  • Remember when we wish someone we say that "May all your dreams come true".
  • Now same thing happens with the boy.
  • His dreams start coming true.
  • Mahabharat is nipped in the bud as during the gambling episode there is a change of mind of Duryodhana, Dushasana and Shakuni and they apologize to Pandavas and seek their forgiveness and so there is no war.
  • Even during the end scene, actual Pandavas come to earth to visit their "kingdom" and they say that they are bound to Chtkan dreams and story is what he has dreamt.
-------------------------------------------------------------
