Photograph, Wonder park, Hamid

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
----------------------------------------------------------
Photograph

• This movie was watched at PVR, Forum Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• This movie has a message and that is no matter what you should never contemplate suicide.
• The "Campa Cola" story shown in the movie the way the Parsee old man Sodabottleopenerwala is still making Campa Cola in his makeshift factory by hand is a story.
• The movie shows that even if you do suicide you still cannot escape as you become a "ghost" like Tiwari shown in the movie.
• And the message is "just do it" means do what your heart pleases like shown in the case of heroine of the movie.
• Overall worth watching once if not more

----------------------------------------------------------
Wonder park

• This movie was watched at PVR, Vega City.
• I liked the movie.
• How a girls and her mothers imagination makes a "Wonedrland Amusement park" work.
• And when it stops due to medical treatment of the mother when the girl discards her thoughts.
• It is worth watching I felt.

----------------------------------------------------------
Hamid

• This movie was watched at PVR, Forum Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• Basically this movie deals with the "disappeared" persons in Kashmir.
• You may die either through militant attacks or security forces attack or in police custody.
• Being dead is okay I feel looking at the ground situation at least there is "closure" to the case.
• But the problem is if you end up injured (that has not been shown in the movie) or "missing".
• If you end up "missing" then there is a big problem.
• Family members will not know if you're dead or gone "beyond the mountains"
• The heart of Kashmir as we know is a valley and is known as "Valley of Kashmir" and has been said that it is "Paradise on Earth" as it is surrounded by mountains very tall mountains on both sides and gives heavenly feeling
• Kashmir Valley Satellite Map from Google:
  
  
• This movie is worth watching. How Paradise on Earth has been ruined by politics.
• No amount of tears can make up for what has been lost.

Captain Marvel, Badla

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Captain Marvel

• This movie was watched at Sandhya theatre, Madivala
• I liked the movie.
• Thanks to special effects and latest lines of thought Captain Marvel appears to be more powerful than any other superhero, I was inclined to compare with Superman
• I will say that Captain Marvel appears to be more powerful than Superman.
• But recently The Avengers Endgame trailer got released and it doesn't look like Captain Marvel would be able to reverse what Thanos had done in Avengers Infinity War movie.
• We saw Samuele L Jackson theatre paging Captain Marvel number towards the end of the Infinity movie.
• But the blue cube does fall out of the Cat's mouth, let us see what Marvel does.
• I may feel they may go any way.
• They may "restore" all the superheroes as the future of the franchise would depend on it I feel.
• The one projected as villian in this movie the "shapeshifters" are actually victims as is shown in the movie.
• Overall the movie promotes "incluvisity" and diversity.
• Not to discriminate against anyone due to "what they are".
• All have equal right in the universe is shown.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Badla

• This movie was watched at PVR Vega City Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• Big Spoiler Next :
• Amitabh Bachchan is NOT in the movie.
• But one person puts his "face mask" like we see in Mission impossible movie.
• And what I felt this is what the audience would not have liked.
• Rather they should have shown Amitabh Bachchan as a "real person" and should have linked his character to Amrita Singh like "brother or father".
• That would have been better.
• And since he is a relative and thus helps her in getting the "Badla".
• In this movie "Badla" does not mean revenge but is "justice".

Luka Chuppi, Sonchiriya

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line
---------------------------------------------------------------
Luka Chuppi

• This movie was watched at PVR Forum Mall.
• This movie deals with the phenomena of "Live-in" relationship in small town.
• I will say hero gets full benefit in the movie and perhaps in real life also.
• He gets the girl and they get to live as husband-wife without getting married.
•  If live-in results in marriage then what use? It is better to get married.
• But if live-in results in hero "enjoying the heroine" with no strings attached, nothing like it.
• Kaarthik Aryan is a "new age hero" and gets the *ussy of the heroine, I was doubting if they will show that or not and be like traditional Hindi movie but this is the "new age", heroines don't mind these kind of roles where they do "the thing" before marriage, I guess.
• Kaarthik Aryan can be a common man hero no doubt with that.
• In certain angles looks like Akshay Kumar and can go for a variety of roles though presently he gets typecasted for comedy roles.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Sonchiriya

• This movie was watched at Inox, JP nagar
• I liked the movie.
• Movie deals with a Phoolan Devi like dacoit who is of Mallah caste and parallely with a Thakur dacoit group.
• I have seen the Bandit Queen movie and how Phoolan Devi takes revenge on the Thakurs who had violated her.
• But here Shushant Singh Rajput has eliminated a lot of Thakurs is shown.
• The same people who violated the lady dacoit chief and their chief is handed to her.
• Sonchiriya means "golden bird" and a girl name is Sonchariya in the movie.
• The same girl is violated by an elder Thakur and Bhumi Pednekar flees with the girl and journey is done to a big city where she undergoes surgery and her life is saved.
• A lot of people die in the movie.
• The movie is like the story of earth which is known as nothing but "Mrutyuloka" means place where the inhabitants ultimately die.
• Whatever we do we die. 
• So the motto is that we lead good lives and don't hurt anybody and hope for the best or else our own end will come in a violent way.

New TRAI Rules - Demonetisation like scheme

• New TRAI Rules where one has to select a particular package is like a demonetisation scheme.
• It has all rules which smacks of lack of individual freedom and "dictator like functioning".
• I mean it is okay you select what channels you want.
• But why bar service providers to provide packs of his choice.
• That is the direct relationship between the seller and the buyer.
• Customer is king and so the service provider can provide the best pack to lure the customer.
• Why Govt. will dictate what pack is to be provided.
• That means that Govt does not want people to watch certain channels.
• Also channels which may be funded by Govt money can survive as mouthpieces of Govt and be "Free Channels"
• While those channels want to do genuine business and earn money in the process will face ruin and starvation for themselves as people will not opt for those channels.
• Even if channels as priced at 50 paise, people will still view those channels as "expensive" and will not opt for the channels.
• Now Govt will effectively cut off the genuine channels which broadcast the truth and rely on paltry subscription and advertisement money.
• The thief Govt will now give the public funds to those channels which toe their line and thus become "Free Channel" and people would be forced to watch those channels and digest whatever the Govt is p[providing them to eat which is crap and shit.
• And people will eat shit and then go and vote shit leaders who will fight on the basis of shit issues and country will become shit.
• I mean what was the urgency.
• I know elections is there in 2019 and before that Govt is taking those steps so that peope will watch those channels and become blind and think everything is fine while the country is actually going to the dumps.
• How bad is this?
• This is worse than Communism and dictatorship.
• People would be forced to switch to online platforms and will be forced to buy data bundles and thus benefiting handful of telecom companies and their multi billion dollar owners.
• No way people can good content if they opt for only free channels.
• This is too bad and dangerous trend in society.
• Less Govt should mean more Govt.
• But here More and More Govt is becoming a nightmare for the people.
• Edit: Added on 7th March, 2019:
• Why the hell there is no Annual pack?
• I mean what is this Govt trying to do?
• I may opt for an Annual pack and I may not watch certain channels for 11 months and then one fine day I may watch several hours of TV and recover all my investment.
• I mean why no Annual Pack for God's sake? What is this Govt trying to do.
• Maybe the Govt thinks it is greater than God.
• It wants to monitor what people are doing every day (day to day). Cannot even trust them to be on their own and enjoy for a year in advance.

India Pakistan Conflict - Closure of Airspace

• I will say that this is the new world.
• The direct consequence of things happening in one part of the world has a cascading effect on other parts of the world.
• And direct consequence of India Pakistan conflict was that Pakistan closed its airspace to Indian flights first.
• And then it closed its airspace fully for all flights.
• I speculate that the reason for this was that hostile flights could be identified easily by the PAF.
• India got affected but was not bothered.
• Rest of international countries got affected and they took note.
• Kindly check the below link
• Pakistan-partially-re-opens-airspace
• The Pakistan airspace is a major airspace the one used for flights between Europe and South Asia and South East Asia.
• The routes which got affected were Bangkok to Europe
• Singapore to Europe.
• Several planes had to go via Mumbai and Dubai where they had to stop for refueling.
• It was a disaster.
• Modi and BJP and RSS can do whatever they want to their domestic people and bring hell to them.
• But when they wanted to violate the sovereignty of Pakistan a proud independent forward thinking nation, Pakistan took steps to preserve itself.
• And in this modern days, airspace and air power have real meaning.
• There will be three category of airspace blocking.
• Total blacking of airspace. - All flights blocked
• Partial blocking one - Selected flights blocked those originating and going to enemy nation
• Partial blocking two - Selected planes of enemy nation airlines blocked.
• According to me total blocking is easiest provided you have the Air force to enforce it. In case of Libya and earlier wars, the Western nations must have enforced total blocking of airspace and so they know which planes are flying. Any planes flying and not their own would be of the enemy.
• Partial blocking is tough. And people may not be fully qualified to enforce it. Technical skill required would be quite high. It is possible that enemy planes would slip by.
• Pakistan did what it wanted to preserve itself as a nation due to the war mongering nature of India and Indian Govt.
• And Western people and international travelers felt the pinch and were treated like dirt thanks to warmongering nature of Modi Govt.
• Modi can fly anywhere he wants to all countries of the world. All countries welcome him as a guest and provide hospitality and welcome him with open arms.
• But people traveling from Singapore and Bangkok (major destination for tourists and business) to Europe, people who are not Indians, Asians and Europeans get "*ucked in the *ss" due to the Modi and RSS policy of war mongering.
• Pakistan has to preserve itself nothing wrong with that , every country has that right in the world.
• But ordinary people from other countries who use air travel in a major route get affected.
• And world cannot tolerate it.
• And that is the main reason for case for deescalation. Call for deescalation and actual deescalation.

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.
