A Star is Born, Bohemian Rhapsody

Watched two movies as mentioned above.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A Star is Born

• This movie was watched at Cinepolis, Bannerghatta Road.
• I liked the movie.
• Since Lady Gaga is already a singer I feel the role would have been been simple for her.
• Also watched the live Oscar performance and I feel this was a very good performance of "Shallow" on stage.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Bohemian Rhapsody

• This movie was watched at Cinepolis, Bannerghatta Road.
• This movie is best of the lot of movies I seen recently.
• But is one more effort for "white washing of character" after we seen in Sanju and Thackeray
• It shows that Freddie Mercury was an "innocent gay" and never "gay by choice" 
• But the fact is he made good music.
• And unfortunately got diagnosed with AIDS and passed away else he would still be performing.
• This movie definitely worth watching.
• Rami Malek and the actor who portrays Brian May and Bob Geldoff among others have done great performances.
• Makes it worthwhile. And deserving Oscar Awards.

Murder on the Orient Express, Total Dhamaal, First Man

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Murder on the Orient Express

• This movie was watched on Hotstar
• I liked the movie.
• I liked it more because the story was not known to me and so it was surprising really.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Total Dhamaal

• This movie was watched at Sandhya theatre, Madivala.
• I liked the movie.
• The movie is a non stop laugh riot.

----------------------------------------------------------------
First Man

• This movie was watched at Cinepolis, Bannerghatta Road
• I liked the movie
• The underlying message in the movie is that "moon landings were fake".
• The director has shown it very subtly by the act of Armstrong dropping the bead bracelet on the moon. One has to observe carefully.
• The director message is that you may believe what you want but in the end human beings matter and relationships matter and family matters.
• I mean to say nothing wrong with America.
• They tried fully. They did all sorts of test possible.
• Which no country can do. They blew billions of taxpayers money.
• They even wanted to actually make a man land on moon. There was real intention.
• They did not want to fake it from the beginning.
• But there were accidents and setbcks.
• So they faked it.
• To show the world that before the decade was over they did it.
• To draw distraction away from Vietnam and show the world that they were winning the Cold War.
• They used newly available means of Television to broadcast lies. 
• Moon landing was the ultimate in "fake news".
• There was also Nixon at helm and his Presidency was one of lies. Ultimately he got impeached for lies and stuff.

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha to Aisa Laga, The Wife, Escape Room, Gully Boy, Alita

Watched five movies as mentioned above
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha to Aisa Laga

• This movie was watched at PVR, Vega City Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• In any other country this movie would have been a comedy movie. But in India this is serious movie and makes you cry.
• You are not sure if you will support it or not.
• Plus they have done the setting in a very orthodox community in heart of Punjab state.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Wife

• This movie was watched at PVR Vega City Mall
• I liked the movie.
• It is a very traditional story.
• A shadow writer who happens to be the wife of famous writer.
• The powerful portrayal makes it worthwhile I gusee.
• Okay to be watched once.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Escape Room

• This movie was watched at PVR, Vega City Mall.
•  This movie I liked.
• Edge of the seat thriller and deserves a sequel no doubt about it.
• It is like Saw or Hostel series but not that gore and graphic according to me.
• This movie you can watch with your family I felt.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Gully Boy

• This movie was watched at Vega City Mall.
• This is made like an English movie.
• I felt the guy who played MC Sher did a very good role.
• Worth watching according to me. 
• Good timepass to know how rap scene is in India.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Alita

• This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas.
• I liked the movie.
• That Alita is like any girl we know.
• It is good Hollywood is making more and more movies with women centered heroes.
• Because women are two spokes of the human race.
• A car runs on four wheels and if two wheels don't run, human race cannot progress.
• Alita movie is full of special effects and sequel is coming.
• Cannot wait as to how things will turn out.

One more False Flag Operation

• This post is titled as "One more False Flag Operation".
• And people you know what I am talking about.
• That is Phulwama Blast.
• I am inclined to say that this was no handiwork of the enemy or the "so called enemy"
• This was an "insider job".
• And people were sacrificed for that. Like "Bali ka Bakras" means "Sacrifical lambs"
• People who were the Paramilitary forces.
• Now I will further say that there was even no car bomb involved.
• That itself is false news spread all over the world.
• The blast happened inside of the bus where the people were seated.
• It means there is very likelihood that explosives were loaded in the bus itself and they were triggered by timer or switch.
• It could be the same explosives that the CRPF foces were told to carry.
• Some "insider" created the blast.
• Even if we assume that a car bomb was used which is not the case it would still be an insider job.
• Some people inside of the BJP Govt elements did it deliberately.
• Why? You may ask.
• It is because BJP Govt. is failing in all fronts.
• People are very much suffering under their rule.
• They want end to the torture and the misery and not just in Kashmir. It is everywhere in India.
• So they use their NSA Ajit Doval to engineer a blast so that people will get enraged and feel "patriotic" and BJP is such kind of patriotic that any soft corner for Kashmiris or Pakistanis will be termed as "Deshdrohi" or "illegal activity".
• Thus the society will get polarised and people will feel that only BJP can protect them.
• And in 2019 there will be elections and BJP will be back with thumping majority.
• In reality it is opposite.
• The most powerful of the bunch of people are suffering the most under BJP and that is the "Armed Forces".
• Inspite of being "Armed" they are under attack and that too from an inside element.
• The truth is BJP is responsible for the blast as it happened under "their watch".
• But actually let it be known and heard and broadcasted that in BJP Govt no one is responsible for anything.
• No one will ever resign for anything.
• No one will ever say that "The Buck stops here".
• They are just a bunch of people who are busy in looting the country and sucking it dry.
• And helping certain big corporate in the process.
• And even if enquiry will be done. They will never cooperate.
• No external or internal or international inquiry will ever be done or evidence produced.
• Such is the kind of haughtiness and false sense of bravado of BJP and India under BJP.

Cricket vs Football vs Hockey vs Wrestling

Cricket vs Football vs Hockey vs Wrestling

• Hockey World Cup was held in Bhubaneswar in 2018.
• At that time itself I wanted to post something like this.
• According to me, Hockey is a violent game.
• Players come "armed" with hockey sticks.
• Though there are strict rules but the very nature is disturbing.
• Once the match commences, it may not appear that violent but that is another story.
• Now football is the most glorious game.
• Football is most popular in Europe which has seen the horrors of war in First World War and Second World War.
• What was needed was a game which is total "anti-thesis" of war.
• No hands are used and players are "unarmed", those who assault are thrown out after warning (Red card and yellow Card)
• Also violent countries of South America and Middle East and Africa also have Football as the most popular game.
• Football as a game is also very easy to play.
• Just a ground and football and you're on. 
• Now cricket is a complex game.
• Cricket involves batsman and bowlers and fielders.
• The act of getting out in cricket is like "death in real life".
• And one who plays well at the crease is 'successful in life'.
• One who also gets a wicket is also successful.
• And the team works to defeat the opposition.
• It is like a mini war.
• And test matches are actually "test of endurance".
• Compared to football outcome comes in 90 minutes of play.
• Hockey outcome comes in 60 minutes.
• A "test match" in cricket can last for days.
• Cricket game also comes with their own set of "armed and unarmed" people.
• Batsman are 'armed' with bat and covered with protective gear. Bowler has a "ball" like "grenade which does not explode".
• And fielders are unarmed.
• Wrestling involves individual feat of endurance and physical strength and agility.
• And there is also "tag team" and "triple teams" in professional wrestling.
• After analysing as above, I must conclude that each game has its own merits and demerits and no game can be criticised as such.
• When I began writing this post my intention was to prove football is the best.
• But now I am not so sure.
• All the games have their own fan following and can be enjoyed by their die-hard fans.
• And people can love all the games also or two games or three games.

Thackeray

• Watched the above movie at PVR, Vega City Mall.
• This is nothing but an effort to whitewash the image of Bal Thackeray.
• Like Sanju movie which whitewashed the character of Sanjay Dutt.
• But certain scenes in history have been replicated well enough.
• I will list those below:
• Belgaum agitation
• Agitation for Single Maharashtra (including Bombay city)
• Agitation against South Indians
• Agitation for employment of Maharashtrians in jobs at Mumbai and in other places of Maharashtra.
• Elimination of Communists as a force in Mumbai.
• Aligning with Congress for the same purpose (defeating Communists in elections).
• War with Janata Party post 1977 elections.
• Ram Temple agitation.
• Bombay Bomb blasts.
• Riots with the collusion of Police where mobs of Shiv Sena were systematically ignored.
• Then supposedly Balasaheb went to pacify the crowds as he himself answers in court whether he has a "hand in riots". He says he has "foot" because he himself visited riot affected areas by foot to pacify the "murderous mobs" who were like monsters created by him and his organisation and had 'tasted blood' and only he could pacify them.
• He is shown offering his house/ room to Muslim people for "Namaz" or prayer. That maybe true I think, maybe it may have happened once if not more times.
• Plot to kill him and those who came to kill him were systematically tortured by police that is shown.
• Shiv Sena won the elections in 1995 and formed State Govt in Maharashtra that is shown.
• He is also giving speeches in Muslim areas that when India-Pakistan cricket match happens not to burst crackers if Pakistan wins.
• He also admits that he wants to Hitler not only of Mumbai but of Maharshtra and India.
• And then when elections victory comes, Manohar Joshi becomes CM.
• It is not shown why Thackeray did not become CM. Though he wanted to be Hitler..
• But the director dwells on it and then ends the movie with "To be Continued" in the end.
• Now will there be a sequel showing Thackeray old age.
• I do not think so. Maybe he did not want to show "the End". But even if sequel is there I feel there is nothing much to show. Most of the history that has been shown which matters.
• Also dumping of oil on cricket pitches and digging up to prevent India Pakistan matches is shown.
• Also meeting with Dilip Vegsarkar and Javed Miandad is shown where he rejects cricket with Pakistan.
• Guess present BJP Govt is following in footsteps of Balasaheb Thackeray which is bad.

Thugs of Hindustan

Watched the movie as mentioned above
---------------------------------------------------------------
Thugs of Hindustan

• This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video. 
• This movie was not up to the mark.
• No wonder it deserved the fate it got.
• The movie resembles Aamir Khan movie when he came to industry initially.
• He used to sign films left right and center.
• And in one earlier movie (I do not recollect the name but I am sure Google will have the answer) there was a scene where he went to some tribal area and then there were cannibals and then solar eclipse came and he and other people escaped by making it appear as magic.
• Then I had seen one interview where he told that "I made the mistake that I used to only read script and accept the movie" but then he had modified and saw the background of the producers and directors as well as script before the movie.
• I am talking about early 1990's dear people.
• And in another movie "Mela" with his brother Faisal Khan he was a truck driver and could not stop and so did piss in a bottle and Johny Lever, the cop pulled him over and drank that thinking liquor and enjoyed it.
• Thugs of Hindustan is such kind of movie.
• Maybe they should have stuck to history like Manikarnika movie then the movie would have been great.
• Instead they showed some crazy things which the audience found unbelievable and gave Aamir the boot.
• It is slapstick movie and China public also rejected it.
• I think Aamir Khan got carried away by watching too many Chinese Martial Arts movies.
• And showed the Western man as villian which is common theme in Indian and Chinese historical movies.
• But the movie bombed and I guess it serves them right.
• The people making movies cannot take people watching movies as granted.
• Sooner or later they will teach them a lesson.
• Also I agree with KRK review that Amitabh Bachchan has been shown as a powerful warrior who rescues the princess.
• If he was such brave why could not he prevent the kingdom takeover by East India Company in the first place.
• Amitabh Bachchan has done a good performance.
• Also the actual thugs were land based and not sea based as shown. If sea based then they would have been pirates. Guess they should have stuck to history.
