To Be or Not To Be…

February 23, 2006 by Haas

Had been yesterday to Rangashankara to catch the play “Hamlet” with my collegues from Applibase. The play was the first play I hv been to in almost a decade and it was worth all the running around :P.

The Indianized version of the play had (hold ur breath) Duality(2 ppl playing almost every char), Dialouges in English(classical lines by Shakespeare), Hindi, Tulu and Kannada. 3 forms of Dramatics(Dhrupad, Yakshagana and Theatre), 2 ppl playing Hamlet(one being a really beautiful girl :P ) and some hilarious sequences.

Fortunately Preethi had given us all a link to a summary of Hamlet, so we were not taken back by this flavour of it. If you hv not read it, please do before you go to the play its worth the effort.

Magic, beauty, love and majesticity thats Narnia .Nothing can beat a child’s imagination and Narnia and its magnificent residents come to life in this extravaganza of color and special effects. The movie clearly created with kids in mind leaves you in a dreamworld enclosed in a Wardrobe.

When four kids forced to live away from their parents due to war find a desolate Wardrobe in an isolated room on the top floor they enter into Narnia. What is Narnia? A parallel universe of sorts… Its full of snow and snow capped mountains but its cold beauty has a reason… its been cursed to a 100 year winter which will end soon…

Rang De Basanti – A Generation Awakens – A Review

There are two kinds of people,
People who go screaming to their death,
People who go silently to their death,
Then I met the third kind….

Every now and then there is a movie that stands out… This one is of that kind. Everything about Rang De Basanti is magic pure magic. This for the record is only the third movie I have felt inclined to clap at the end of the film for its pure brilliance, the earlier two were Black (The best movie ever…) and Aviator (What can I say :) ). Renzil D’Silva and Rakesh Omprakash Mehra script this journey through youthful experiences and mature decisions flawlessly and provide their way of feeling patriotic.

Sue (Alice Patten) comes to India to make a documentry about her grandfather’s diary which accounts the rise of Indian Independence struggle in 1920 in the hands of 5 revolutionaries. Her pal Sonia (Soha Ali Khan) steps up to help her… Her search for her 5 main characters is in vain and while hanging out with Sonia’s friends she realizes that her friends fill the characters perfectly….
