Prince VS Kites

Question no.1 - Why I want to write about these 2 movies ??

Answer no. 1:- Because last weekend I saw both and I was surprised to notice how media works to hype something.

Question no. 2 – Why now ?

Answer no. 2 - I know its too late to write about these 2 films as they are nearly 2-3 month old and one of them already have had its television premier but I still wanted to go ahead and do it because for me time is never a problem :D

So let’s take them one by one,

Who is in it – Kites has a quit strange star caste with hunk Kabir Bedi, Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut and I have no idea about rest of them.

What’s the deal – Movie making is an art and Rakesh Roshan has that ability, we have seen great movies from him which includes “Kaho na pyaar hai” and “Koi mil gaya” but this time he has got it all wrong. The movie to me was any old story where hero and heroine are running from heroine’s evil family because hero is either poor or belongs to a different caste, if they get caught they will be slaughtered, concept like “Gadar” or in-fact “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak”. But here the lone difference is that all of it is shot in Las Vegas and Mexico. Hrithik Roshan has tried a lot but failed to deliver, he hammed it up completely. Barbara Moori on the other hand looked strikingly gorgeous and has acted very well.

Conclusion - Entire production money is exhausted on luxurious locations and not even on cast. Kabir Bedi is a real stud even at this age in front of Hrithik and was given just a 5 minute role. Kites have no story or any purpose. Skip it even if you are a Hrithik fan. If you want to watch it then watch it just for Barbara Moori, she has looked stunning and has acted extremely well.

 

 

 

Who is in it – Vivek Oberoi and ????

What’s the deal – It’s a big deal, Bollywood has failed again and again whenever it comes to a sci-fi action flick attempt. Haunting examples like Love story 2050, Krrish, Blue and Dhoom 2 are amongst big banners who botched to capitalize on this recipe. The problem with each of these movies was that they were either copied from a Hollywood movie or have spent entire money on special effects!! But what about story?? Prince by far is incredibly fine movie!! Prince has an decent story line which is NOT inspired at all except 1 or 2 extremely short sequences from Paycheck and Bourne Identity. Special effects are acceptable and are not at all shabby. Few things which were too much even for a Hollywood movie like brain crashes and reboots, memory can be transferred to a hard disk but they were there momentarily and I could very well pardoned all just because the story and direction were sincere and gripping.

Conclusion - Prince is not at all a bad movie, it worked for me. It’s a kind of movie from which you can look forward to some more Indian sci-fi action flicks if taken inspiration from. Watch it if you get an opportunity, it’s not extraordinary but absolutely a good quality movie and much much much better then Kites.

Beware !!

Hi people, this is after a very long time I felt like writing. This time I chose to make you alert of unusual white coat fraudsters, please share if you have bumped into rather similar so that we do not plunge into their traps.

1. Supermarkets – Yes they are one of the leading cheaters, particularly when they sell out food items. Brands like food world, Benson’s, Big Bazaar. All of us shop in one of those every single week and yet we fail to detect something very very significant.

Have you ever noticed the expiry date of the item you have just pulled out from the rack, I guess not. We don’t do that because we have an impression that whatever is sold in the supermarkets is fresh and of a high-quality, is it??

I observed this sometime back when I purchased a bottle of tomato ketchup which was black upon opening!!! Yes, and I could not return it because I had misplaced the receipt but when I noticed the expiry date, it was already expired 3 months before!!! Same thing happened yesterday yet again, we failed to note just 1 item (habitually we verify the expiry date for every article ahead of paying for it) and bang it was all flooded with fungus from inside when we opened it, so be careful from next time.

2. Hindi Movies – They are the 2^nd leading frauds, just Hindi movie makers. These days they make such crapiest movies that you feel like butchering someone after you have watched it. All the newest movies guarantee A LOT in their promos but when you actually purchase a ticket of more then 200 bucks; the film does not care about you, every single movie these days cares for you till you buy the tickets and then it chuckles on you. I suppose in last 2 years I have seen just 2 high-quality movies “3 Idiots” and “A Wednesday”.

You will find actors, directors appealing everyone to prevent piracy; they request us to watch it in the theatre rather then downloading it. How can they expect that after movies like Drona, Ghajini, Prince, Tashan and latest piece Houseful? I am glad to download and watch. I even have discovered that some movies were not even worth watching at home and then I felt dreadful that I wasted my internet bandwidth for it. I am proud to say that I don’t throw away my money on Hindi movies, beware of Hindi Movies.

3. Electronic Stores – This is one more place where they mystify and manipulate you to buy something which you did not come to purchase at the first place. One such episode took place with me. I went to buy a LCD TV and I did all my research, I wanted LG LCD HD 42”. When I reached the e-zone store I found 2 walls covered with LCD TVs, One with all promising brands and one with Only Sony.

Now on Sony wall each screen was connected with Blu-ray disc (High-density optical disc) player and the other wall with all brands was connected with regular cable (Not even to any DTH). So as soon as you enter you will observe an incredible image quality on Sony but a dreadful picture quality on every other brand. When I asked the salesman to attach Blu-ray disc player to LG, he declined, he said it’s not doable; it can be connected to Sony only!! After sometime he recommended why don’t you buy Sony? It has miraculous picture quality!!

So before buying anything like this please do your groundwork and be firm on what you crave for because they might want to maneuver you like this, beware of such tactics.
