Parineetha - The Married Woman: Movie Review



At last we got tickets and blissfully went to watch Parineetha.
If you saw us coming out of the cinema-hall….and saw our grinning faces…and thought that it was Munnabhai Part II that we watched…….
Well….what can I say! I was as much confused as u.

Because the last half an hour of the film made us laugh so hard.
Hm….I’m not sure if those laughable moments were provided intentionally or not.

It is undoubtedly a visual treat. Everything looks so beautiful. And u get too hear some melodious tunes which goes well with the mood of Parineetha. In fact, I'm still humming "Piyaa Bole...". Saif is really good in his arrogant-but-hopelessly in love-role. Sanjay Dutt looked old...but nobody is doubting his acting skills. Divya Baalan has done a great job. She is well cast as the woman who can evoke in men such respect as well as possessiveness. Ah! those eyes.........they do speak volumes!

If u are in a romantic mood....and loves the slow pace....Parineetha is well worth till the climax. No I won't tell the climax and stop u from having a few laughs.

As for me, till interval it was bearable. In case u didn’t know, I’m such a romantic idiot sometimes. And I do love music videos very much.
Don’t get what I’m talking about??? Go and watch Parineetha.
Since you are going for it, keep your brain somewhere safe.

Now, why are you staring at me like that?! Oops! forget that I said something about your brains, silly things.

The Godfather by Mario Puzo: Book Review

“I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse” –Don Corleone

That is The Godfather for me.

A bit dramatic because those kinda things never happen around me. But, never over the top. Everything delivered with the right amount of chill, and without any gilt around the edges.

It never fails to thrill. And those to-the-point dialogues send a shiver through me.

Don Corleone seems to weave a charismatic web around the readers.

The most awaited.....

At last, after passing through all these agonizing days, it has arrived.
The unparalleled, the most sought after, the one and only......Weekend. Claps and whistles!!!!

The most perfect time of the week: Friday 6.30PM
I come out of my office. I instantly erase all the work-related-data from brain (My pea sized brain can store only so much of data)
While waiting for the bus that will take me home, I give an imaginary pat on my shoulder and say “Good work lass! U just withstood another 5 working days!"

Hurray! I have whole 2 days ahead of me and I can sleep all the time that I please.

So guys, I hope u also enjoy this precious weekend.

Some Gibberish

End of the day. So, writing about some mundane matters.

I’m very new to blogging. So, wanted to get some tips and tricks from veteran bloggers.
Did a lot of browsing. And my eyes are paining. Did I learn anything? Well, a little bit of this and that.

But, didn’t understand how to have a niche audience!
Well, this is a personal blog. And I’ll be writing anything that comes to my mind.
Today it may be movies. Tomorrow it may be Chinese food. I sure have a wandering mind!!!

So, my dear audience (whoever you are) – bear with me.

Star Wars Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith: Movie Review

No, I'm not a Star Wars fan. Yet I watched Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, the only episode that I have ever watched. One of the Star Wars fan teased me when I joked about the light-saber-duels, which really looked funny to me. Hm……should have kept my mouth shut!

There was a lack of depth in the characterization (except for Obi-Wan Kenobi) and I couldn't relate to them. The events lacked any surprise. Even I was able to forsee the climax.

The romance between Anakin and Padme didn't look so strong that he would turn to the Dark Side to save her. But then, I guess Anakin was not good enough by Yoda standards. If he wanted his lover by his side all the time, how come he is selfless?!

In a nutshell I didn't care about anything that happened!

The weekend

I wouldn’t rate this last weekend as an ideal one. Was a bit busy with the visitors. But, those two precious days were thoroughly wasted as far as I am concerned. Didn’t even do the laundry! (And there are a whole 5 working days ahead)

The only highlight is a few hours in a nearby bookshop. What did I buy?
The God Father. Oh! I have read it before. This time, trying to figure out why I like this book so much. I’m halfway through it and simply enjoying. Forgot all about using my critic’s talents!!!
