5 Point Someone vs 3-Idiots



I watched the movie 3-Idiots on 27th December. I had had a number of recos from friends to watch it asap. My dire desire was to see 42 goin on to 21! And, to be very true, I didn’t recognize Amir as 42 or 21 years old guy. He appeared as a representative typical collegiate, and I enjoyed the movie. The Wangdu thing was really quite unexpected and appealing.

Well, one thing that I noticed REMARKABLY was that the movie was having 5PS as its soul, no doubt, even though I read that quite a time back and don’t remember it all! Friend who recommended it to me also said so. Ryan’s transformation into Ranncchoddas or Rancho could not go unnoticed. The very scene of Raju’s (Sherman Joshi) home where his mother’s every sentence was ending with some commodity-index listing drove me directly to 5PS.

All said, as I understand all the media brouhaha about this Chetan Bhagat's 5PS vs 3Is case, is that one day CB sahib woke up and suddenly learns that he’s not received opening credited, but a closing-credit. However, Vidhu sahib says closing credit was what signed in the contract. CB’s problem also lies with the fact that movie is 70% 5PS, while he was assured it being 2-5%! Yaar, how do they do these correlation studies? May be taught in IITD or IIMA!?

Whatever, the fuss CB and VVC are creating on media, and the annoyance it’s generating on social networks is just getting bigger and worse! I haven’t seen the movie Hello, and don’t know whether it credited A Night At Call Center or not? So, cant say money is thing agitating CB or not? It’s difficult to decide who’s on right side, who’s playing the cards, and whether it has got to do anything with publicity?

My say is that both the parties should sit together in peace, have a cup of coffee of their choice, discuss the fuss and solve the problem without making any further stride in this non-productive ruckus! VVC should acknowledge book’s contribution to movie, and CB should accept the situation. We all know, movie was good, and was based on CB's work! Isn't it the Best Award for a Good writer?!

Banned Indian Books

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth... Few days back when I came to know about a book on an Indian Business Barron on the Banned Indian Books’ List, the first thing that came in my mind were the lines from Tagore . What an irony, we live in a country, whose forefathers have dreamt about a nation without fear, about a nation with right to speech, right to knowledge; and where the Government enjoys the “privilege” to “freely” ban the books, censor what it feels offensive! Wikipedia describes Banned books as the books whose free access is not permitted. Further it says that the practice of banning books is just another form of censorship, and often has political, religious or moral motivations. In our country, banning books have got its history since the British rule days. In fact, few of the Books ...

Trekking Ghansoli Gawli Dev (Parsik) Hill

It’s been there for geological ages, we have been looking at it for last about 4years and I have been planning to trek it since a long time. Finally, few weeks back, we trekked the Ghansoli Hill. Ghansoli Hill is located at the eastern boundary of Ghansoli town, behind our office complex at RCP. The hill or better hillock is a part of small range that separates Kalyan and Navi Mumbai towns. A search on Google Map returns with a name Parsik Hill for it, though there is one more rather famous Parsik Hill in Navi Mumbai. We also found a NewsArticle , that talks about NMMC plans to develop Nature Awareness Centre at this hills and calls it Gawli Dev Hill. Here, we would be calling it Ghansoli Hill . I asked my colleague about it and he readily agreed. The very next Sunday we did it with another friend. We weren't aware of the route. All we knew is that a Central Road runs along the western edge of the hill and can be reached through the Vashi-Mhape road. We later found that t...

Natarang (नटरंग): My First Marathi Movie

Last Sunday was day booked for movies. First on the slot was Natarang (नटरंग). Natarang was my first Marathi movie and perhaps the second Regional Language movie after the classic Nadiya Ke Paar (नदिया के पार ) . Except for a few words, I don’t understand Marathi , and thus watched the subtitle version. But, I was so engrossed in movie that for the times was feeling the movie and not reading it. May be, as said by Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist , the characters were speaking World’s Unified language . The best side of the movie was its ability to keep the viewer enthralled throughout. Story line was about a body-builder farmer taking the risk of opening a theatre company, putting all his emotions on stakes; finally dares to take the role of a eunuch-character on stage. For the purpose, the hunk villager, played by Atul Kulkarni , shaved off his thick manly moustaches and had to lose his muscles. He learns the ways a woman walks talks and plays with different gestures. In the course, h...
