Some stuff to make your mind wander
Dear Shahrukh Khan,
I know I haven’t written in a long time, I am sincerely sorry for that. But when I saw Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi I thought I should write my review directly to you.
Firstly thank you for Surinder Sahni, he made watching RNBDJ(I know the acronym does not work) a pleasure. It would be hard to find a movie critic who didn’t think that it was possibly the most honest performance they have seen in a while.
Monty Python has created an official YouTube channel to post free, high-quality clips from their collection! The video announcing it(right) is as hilarious as a typical Python skit :P
One of the reasons I don’t like shopping is coz I can never ask the right questions while I am at it. I always ‘think’ of what should be asked and then wonder ‘shouldn’t that be obvious to this salesperson?’. As you can imagine it leads to some awkward situations.
A little while back I had to do a little shopping and this time it was for a gift. I had zeroed in on picking up a perfume but hadn’t decided the brand. So I head over to the mall and am smelling my way to a gift :P
Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam is one of the nicest surprises I have had all year(in watching movies ie). Firstly I wasnt expecting much from the movie but the promising star cast was looking good. It had Paresh Rawal, Rahul Bose and Kay Kay Menon, three actors whose movies I have truly admired.
The movie is supposedly the remake of a classic Mel Brooks movie “To Be or Not to Be“. This Indian version uses the backdrop of the 93 bomb blasts and produces a hilarious comedy of a bunch of theater artists trying to stop the bad guys.
What I loved about the movie was the brilliantly sketched out characters, who even when saying clinched lines are really funny. The comic twist to Urdu Shayari and on stage improvisation had me running out of breath laughing. I think I was laughing for atleast 80% of the movie!
