Wake Up SId: Finally something Brilliant

Director: Ayan Mukerji
Genre: Youth
Star Cast: Ranbir kapoor, Konkana sen, Anupam kher
Rating: ****

I saw wake up sid just today and deeply regretting for watching so late . This one is a brilliant movie. All i can say is fabulous and spectacular and definite watch for all especially youth.....
Ranbir and konkana rock on screen they look so real, and it is such a clean movie. Debutante director Ayan Mukerji finely portrays Sid's transformation from a Boy to a Man.
It is so real that you can not only relate to it but draw parallels with your own life. yeah there are people who will compare this one to laksya and dil cahhta hai but watch it for Ranbir who delivers an award winning perfomance.
Sid (Ranbir) a final year college student spends his dads money and is very carefree about life, he befrnds aisha (konkana) who is complete opposite to ranbir . When Sid fails in his Exam its finally time for him to wake Up!!!
Music is good, humor executed well and the movie has its emotional moments too. The best thing about wake up Sid is it gives importance and portrays all aspects of care n love by parents, true friendship and most importantly love.
So, all i would say is this excellent movie is strongly recommended!
GREAT movie must watch. A feel good film

Blue:doesnt live up to hype and hoopla.

Director: Anthony D'Souza
Genre: Action / Social / Thriller
Rating:**1/2
Star Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta,Zayed Khan

(note: may discourage you from watching the movie )
Blue ..........
To make it short blue lacks script, has no intensity n highly predictable fails to keep you glued .
The under sea treasure hunt, the bike chase or race, Kylie and the concept of Blue gives the film an international feel.The music is not too good but Fiqraana n chiggy wiggy stand out
I would recommend you to watch discovery channel and for stunts i recommend you better watch Dhoom.
Akshay delivers another flop, kylie minogue was good but not enough for the titanicish blue from sinking.. lara was hot, and katrina what was she doing in the movie ??
Some one joked on twitter that soon doctors will be recommending to watch movies like kambhakt ishq and BLue instead of sleeping pills and now i agree 100 % with this i felt incredibly sleepy all through the movie and me and my sister spent most of the time nudging my bro for forcing us into this movie of all (all the best ,main aur mrs khanna, wake up sid) .
BLUE has style and incredible star cast too, visual splendour of the sea is captured well.
All in all its a big disappointment,Watch it if you're a die-hard action freak like my bro who forced me into this .......
if you really want to watch then watch without expectations.

Obama n his nobel win

President Barack obama was awarded the nobel peace prize this year apparently for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," !!!!.
My first reaction when i got this news on twitter was "for what !!!!" Well according to me its a bit too early for him win the nobel prize.
Ok before u get it wrong i am certainly not an Obama hater ... i love him seriously, i had made a post congratulating him on his presidential win, but what the hell he won for what, he was 2
weeks in office when he was nominated (nominations ended on feb 1st). I guess obama won the nobel peace prize for great campaining!

My question is Who is next after Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize --Osama?
Isnt this ridiculous and embarrassing for the Nobel peace prize, does it not degrade the importance of such an honour ?

If Obama refused to accept the prize then
That would be the honorable thing to do

Ok forget lets talk about fun.... this afternoon the whole twitterverse especially twindians had great fun discussing obamas nobel win and here are some of the very funny tweets please leave
comments if i missed yours n ill add it too

@gadyepstein: Maybe the Nobel committee just thought it would be really cool to meet Obama?
@zoooni: President Obama wins Nobel peace prize n has he completed atleast a year in office .. or was it a spellin mistake OSAMA was it?
@jainnimit: I think I deserve Nobel Peace Prize more than Obama! I AM SERIOUS! What has he done for peace???

Wanted: Salman back with a Bang

Movie review

Cast:Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia Azmi, Vinod Khanna, Mahesh Manjrekar

Director :Prabhudeva

Producer :Boney kapoor

Rating:****

Just saw wanted last night and have to say Salman R-O-C-K-S right from the word go ….It was very contending to watch a good bollywood movie after a long time , especially after the hollywoodish Kaminey which defo was not for me, I hated the violence and the genere too but Wanted is also action packed but it does not fail to impress me.

Excellent movie full on action family entertainer perfect bollywood masala flick. If salman impresses as a hit man Ayesha takia is good too. Salman playing a gangster Radhe who works only for money bhai and there is Ayesha who plays chalti phirti cocaine jhanvi, Mahesh Manjekar playing the lusty bad cop all impress, acting wise the film is good

Wanted being a remake of a Telgu hit film Pokiri is a perfect film for sallu to silence his critics and now he is definitely back with a bang… Though I haven’t seen Pokiri and I don’t even watch too many south flicks but I still feel this feel has a south Indian touch thanks to the director Prabhudeva who does his Bollywood debut with style and great perfection.

Wanted has all the elements of a hit film very good mix of action, romance, comedy, great songs superb choreography and a mind-blowing climax too.

And if you want comparison I place ‘Wanted’ on par with Ghajini and Om shanti Om. Its a very clean movie with some good scenes to look forward to like the one in the train between Ayesha and salman, the one where the international Don gyani has been arrested by Asraf khan and is not allowed to sleep n when gyani tries toi escape only to find himself in a boat LOL!!! But some scenes are too childish like the one in lift where they talk about Vicco..

The end result being you surely should not be missing this one especially if you like south Indian movies or if you are a Salman fanatic. But if you are not into hardcore Action please avoid it.

Celebrating The spirit of free India Via Twitter!

Twitter is already 3 years old but still there is a huge lack of Indian related trending topics
I was initially not very interested in twitter and didn't really get what the point was and was not very impressed with this new tool of networking in 140 characters . But now I am writing this post as a twitter addict.
This blog post just to describe the amazing experience i had this independence day.
Given the swine flu scare and a death in Bangalore most schools and colleges decided not to celebrate Independence day this so we had a holiday. I felt bad missed all the elaborate celebrations which marked I-Day every year but guess what it was a blessing in disguise as this time I had the best independence day ever. celebrating independence day on twitter, this was probably the first of its kind nobody before may have celebrated independence day on twitter
The celebration included display of patriotism on twitter by using twibbons and the main aim being to make #india trend .Most Indians had made it their mission to make
India trend

It all started approximately around a week before independence day when I and some other tweeps posted about our desire to make #india trend on independence day as a gift to our motherland ...That was the beginning! I started randomly following Indians on twitter urging them to use twibbons and #india in every tweet. Since then hundreds of people have tweeted and retweeted about #india actually making it trending even before Independence day i.e on 14th august.

"At the stroke of midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, then an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, ..." was what Jawaharlal said on our very first independence day but Indians on twitter decided that at the stoke of midnight when the world sleeps(not that the whole world was asleep in fact most of the tweeps were very well awake as it was not midnight in their part of their world ) Indians shall stay awake to get #india to trends .... n well that actually did happen (as my frnds told me especially @jerryjose7) though i wasnt fortunate enough to witness it because of rain and power cut in Bangalore at around the same time!!!
On the 15th of August the #india mania continued and almost out of the blue there was SRK also trending, apparently Shahrukh Khan was detained and questioned for about 2 hours by US immigration officials reportedly only for his name being Khan while that is all a different story what actually was inspiring was the fact that
at one point on August 15th they were 3 Indian topics trending (Happy independence, #india and SRK)

All through the day day the crazze and madness prevailed with some tweeps actually passed the 100updates /hr limit of twitter.And all the westerners were wondering why on earth was #india trending. Even after given the fact that the trending was forced there was no spamming from any tweep as long as i know while we tweeted amazing facts about India which we ourselves never knew, the India mania was sort of like having real short conversations with like minded people, and some who are not.Reading and tweeting tweets some evoking patriotism some increasing your GK some giving you links and some tweets were of course downright funny. Also taking Independence day quiz, discussing about India's problems and their solutions.
But there were people who questioned us if it was right to give so much importance to trends : firstly Trending topics are becoming a very important part of the Twitter experience, I don't care about most of the Trending Topics, but I would definitely want #india a nation of a billion heads to trend at least on its independence day.
Brand Obama used Social Media, including Twitter, to build a fan base to win the US presidential Election ; according to report 25% of those who voted for Obama were linked to him via one or more of his online networks. And for those who questioned if it was right to force the trending,and were of the view that we should let it happen naturally, please tell me how many topics on twitter are trending without force and most of the trending topics are fully forced or contain a lot of spam and nonsense.
Twibbons is one twitter application of sorts i never used but i ended up using this and encouraging others to use it too, it was such a pride to see Tricolours all across twitterverse. I was so immersed in trends and twitter that i dint bother to log in to facebook or Myspace or even check my mails
Having connected to some really great Indians tweeps(for the record let me tell you I had some 50+ mails in my inbox from Topify), we rocked and partied hard so much so
by the end of this day all Indian tweeps were damn tired and were no longer interested in tweeting for the sake of trending infact even i wanted independence from this mission of tweeting for independence itself!!

A Man is known by the company he keeps So if you are an Indian and want to be known as a true patriot then follow these true Indian tweeps:

Also a special mention to my Pakistani tweeps ( @Jamash @shamilakhan @justmuneeb @taalz @farhanmasood @ali360 ) on august 14th when Pakistan celebrated its Independence day, India and Pakistan were competing with each other but it was nothing sort of a rivalry as the hash tag #indopakpeace was also doing rounds congratulations to them too to make it to the trends
As a pessimistic thought I would also like to add the fact that #india of course could never make it to the top of twitter trends LOL!! also I am perfectly aware of the fact that making India trend on twitter is no big deal and it will not solve any problems of our country, we have other serious issues like illiteracy, poverty, swine flu recession and the list is endless But still there is a sense of pride for making it to the trends like every achievement of an Indian .
