Rang De Basanti and Sholay.....

...What is this?.....u must be wondering.....what the hell is there to compare between these two films...they are not even remotely same ......sholay is kind of a fairy tale.....Rang De....a masterstroke from Rakesh Omprakash Mehra (atleast by me)....After saying this i want to write about Rang De Basanti.....but if i start on this topic i will be writing volumes ...now i don't want to do that....people who didnot see this movie still ...please watch it....

Now coming to my topic...well , its just a thought but , i feel the director and the script writor had sholay in their mind while characterizing these 5 characters....well atleast 4 of them..if u watch closely....
DJ (aamir khan) + Sukhi (Sharman Joshi) = Veeru (Dharmendra)
Karan(Siddarth) + Aslam(Kunal Kapoor) = Jai (Amitabh)


DJ and Sukhi are the fun loving ....DJ flirting with Sue....
Karan and Aslam , more quiet and serious.....

the entrance of DJ and sukhi....drinking standing over a high monument
Veeru's best scene in sholay....standing on a water tank ... drinking and threatening to jump

Karan's first dialogue 'Nautanki saala'
Jai's dialogue 'ghadi ghadi drama karta hai saala'

now if we start looking in this point of view u will find few more similarities..but the things told above are obvious (i think)...

A tribute to 'Venky'

People who know me and my room dont need an intro on this topic for others well iam talking about the telugu movie starring Raviteja , Sneha which did an above average business a good comedy movie ....i think this is what you will hear from anyone who has seen or known this movie but ask anyone of apt 370 (my house no.) , VENKY is a MASTERPIECE. How many times have we seen this movie? dont ask , seriously we lost the count but one thing is for sure , the no. will be way beyond your imagination . There was a time when we never had our dinner without watchin this movie , every dialogue is an 'aanimutyam'......and a day never passes for us without using a single dialogue of this movie , Venky has become a part and parcel of our life...now what is this? Is this movie that gr8...is it like some Godfather or something......well for us its more than that....and i can proudly say one can understand its worth only if they watch it with us. 'Adi daani power anukondi effect anukondi.....' . Let me end this with few dialogues from this movie:

1)'Neenu general ga chinese prefer chestanu....fat content takkuva kada'
2)'Nuvvu chetitho tinu baabu'
3)'Udyogaalu ivvaga appulu evvaka taagedelagaaa brathikedelaaga'
4)'Mass tho pettukunte Madata...Madatadipoddi'
5)'meeku istam ledu naaku allergy'
6)'yedutivallu cheppindi puurthiga vinaveee...anduke degree annellu chadivav....thu.....nee brathuku cheda'
7)'ninnu yela pogadaloo ardam kavatledura'
8)'Ninnu kottalante peddaga alochinchalentra.....chusava enta easyno'
9)'paadu gajaala'
10)'We enjoyed a lot sir , the credit goes to you only'

rustic trekkin

A brand new day at work.......so i opened hinduonnet.... trying to know a bit abt whats happening in india....suddenly i remembered Metroplus...one of the few things i used to read in the daily news paper back home. This week there is an article about adventure sports in India with a photo of a boy trekking...reminded me of my childhood days....All my school life i always had someone who loves to go around then stay at a place and play...when i first moved to Ukkunagaram, Vizag ...my first frnd was Chaitanya , he loved to go around....all we used to do every evening is to go as far as possible , i think i was 8 or 9 years old then...going to a new place, exploring a new site, tresspassing are the few things which used to give us the high.....but after we moved to a new house....i stopped all these stuff but again we got interested in new things....trekking....something which i would love to do even now...we used to explore all the small hills surrounding our place and being in Vizag , we never fell short of hills ... this brings back lots of memories..... climbing on the muddy paths , slipping (afterall all we used to wear were slippers which try to repel any sort of friction they come across) and the feeling after reaching the top of the mountain and ofcourse running down the hill loosing total control and ending up falling somewhere and getting hurt.....hah!!!! the good old days......

Underdog

This has been the safe bet for making movies for ages now. People have been complaining that indian movies lack the freshness . There are a handfull of themes and movies have been , are being and will be made only these themes. Revenge , love and the main most famous themes we come across. If we watch closely , even hollywood too have a set of themes and movies on these have been coming out from ages now. 'Underdog' is one thing which i feel has not lost its freshness yet. The latest example is 'Glory Road' and its box office collections. Movies on this topic are coming from ages now. Infact some movies are even being remade , the latest example is 'The Longest Yard'. There have been serious movies like Coach Carter, Remember the Titans, Friday Night Lights, Rudy etc and there were comedies like Happy Gilmore , Tin Cup , Mean Machine, Longest Yard etc and there have also been some insane movies which will leave your mind blank for atleast few hours after you see them like Kicking and screaming , Rebound , Dodgeball etc. The great thing about this is all the movies have the same theme some person or a team which is supposed to be good for nothing and have no scope of making to the top ends up victorious and the wierd thing is 90% of these movies are hits...even the so called insane movies have also done a decent business.
Out of the bunch if i had to pick one , my pick will be 'RUDY' . A great movie , and i felt really bad that i didnot even know this movie till last week . If you have not seen this movie yet do see it!!!

Blah!!!!Blah!!!!!

I need to post something....about what....well let me think!!!!! my first blog so must be good....but on what....After pondering on what to do for a week now i atlast decided to start a blog....'enough of looking at others' blogs and writing comments to them....let me start my own now'......my job is making me do things which i never thought i would be interested in.....it started with orkutting.....i know about orkut from say 3-4 years now but never bothered to even register in it....trying to meet old and new frnds online and making new frnds just by seeing their profiles .... sounded so funny.....i believe in simple things.....just live your life ....any kind of relationship should happen unintensionally....i never believed in trying to make new frnds...but with the free time i got in my office....i couldn't think of a better thing to do than orkutting....now iam done with that.....afterall, we cannot do something we donot believe in for long....so now its time for bloggin.....
