In the past year there have been a couple of incidents that happened that I wanted to write about but was unable to. Sometimes I never had the words, sometimes I was just plain lazy to put down my thoughts. The following two are such incidents. Incidentally they involve doing something sweet (one for and one by me).

The Lake House – Movie Review
The lake house is a beautiful romantic movie about the conversations between two residents of a Lake house. The plot circles around a lonely doctor who once occupied an unusual lakeside home and her exchange of love letters with its former resident, a frustrated architect. The protagonists must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it’s too late.
A lot of people recommended the movie to me, but it somehow got lost in my to-watch list. When ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
yodha finished his review of this movie with “the movie’s a good watch for romantic fools”, I was like that sounds like me :P
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi – Movie Review
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.
Shadow of my Soul…

Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam – Movie Review
[rating: 3.5]
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!
