Kai Po Che....

Watched Kai Po Che yesterday . Its based on the book  "3 Mistakes of My Life" by Chetan Bhagat which narrates the story of 3 friends trying to make big in life.

 

Have never been a fan of Chetan Bhagat and his writings and have only read them when I wanted to read some masala stuff to lighten my mind. Some critics once called him the "Rakhi Sawant of Indian literature". Although I don't completely disagree with this but the only positive thing I have about him is that he knows what sells. He knows whats the pulse of the Indian youth (has a book published by the name What Young India Wants), what they can easily relate to and to top it he add some prominent facilities or event of India in the mix of it, which makes it quite popular. 

 

 

So coming back to the movie. The movie revolves around 3 friends based in Gujarat. And it shows their dreams and how they go about it and how their life is impacted first by the Bhuj earthquake of 2001 followed by the Godhra riots of 2002.  It touches various emotions that we Indians go through during the course of our life. So you have die hard Friendship, Innocent Love, our religiously followed passion for Cricket and lastly but not the least Our insane reverence to one's religion in such a way that we forget about humanity.

  

The movie with its fresh faces and masala content makes it watchable but I personally felt there was a lot of scope for improvement but nevertheless a nice one time watch.

 

There is a song in the movie called Manjha and I really liked it a lot. I feel after the song Ye Hosla from the film Dor this is one inspirational song that I will always like to hear.

 

The lyrics of the song goes like this

 

Roothe khaabon ko mana lenge
Kati patango ko thaamenge
Haa haa hai jazba
Ho ho hai jazba
Suljha lenge uljhe rishton ka manjha
Hmm ka manjha, hmm ka manjha...

 

 

Everything that happens, happens for some good..

I just read this quote from Stephen Bishop, which has come in TOI

"I feel so miserable without you, its almost like having you here"

and it made me laugh , as most of the love quotes make me now a days.

Yesterday was Children's day, apart from wishing my very good friend "Happy Birthday", I din't do anything Children's day specific, not even wished "anyone" "Happy Children's Day".
Anyways, I went to watch Dostana with my office mates. Its a so so movie but it has its funny parts too, just that the gay angle is used tooooo much, they could have done with a little less use of it.

You always relate something from reel life to real life and it generally depend on your mood whether you take out the positive from it or the negative. Things like, Yes, you can fall in love with your friend and you need not be sorry for that. Yes, Love is Blind, but instead of the person who is in love getting blind, its the person you love, who is blind because he/she won't see or realise that you love them. blah blah..... and ultimately Friendship is more fulfilling relation than any other relation you can imagine.

At night I watched "Sleepless @ Seattle". I have heard from a lot of people that its a nice movie so since I had it in my pc, so decided to watch it but I was quite disappointed. Apart from the cute kid "Jonah" nothing else was good, Ok Meg Ryan looked childish too :).
In the last few months, I watched a lot of movies in which the girl despite being engaged to someone whom they say they "love a lot", suddenly goes into an almost magical world of their own when they get in touch with the Hero. Ok agreed in most of the cases the so called fiance is a bad guy who is either too possesive or evil but this guy Walter(Bill Puffman), I felt was too good. I was just wondering what if after marrying Tom Hanks, she again meets someone with whom she will again experience the magic ?...I think to tough for me to digest.Don't know may be because I always imagine myself as the other guy like Walter (not saying loving like me but having a fate like him)...he he he
And like Anne said to Walter "I don't deserve you". Ya, we will take it as a consolation. Just like , the statement "it was not destined". And finallly the golden one that some consoling soul will come and say "Everything that happens , happens for some good"

Ok I need to update this post keeping in mind Sid's comment. So sorry for only referring to the fairer sex. When I said that despite being committed to someone , they go into the magical world of their own on meeting someone new, I was actually referring to both the beautiful ladies and handsome guys :)

Note:
Beautiful girls denote every girl in this world :)
Handsome guy denote every guy in this world :)
