Movie Review #1: Hattrick

Hattrick: A movie made by Sidharth Anand. (never heard of him!)

Well, this movie is NOT like Iqbal. Or about any cricket crazy kid wanting to become a great sportsman. This story is about a Hat-trick performed by ordinary mortals like Paresh Rawal, Nana Patekar , Danny and Kunal Kapoor. Adding masala to Kunal's life is Rimi Sen.

Frankly, the film is well-taken. The story has no loose ends and the director gives you a feel-good factor to go home with. But there is no great wisdom to ponder upon and get your grey cells active. It is just a simple story, with a few characters, here and there and how they deal with the turbulence in their lives. I think Kunal Kapoor has real potential, and Rimi has put on a few pounds. Paresh has done a great job as the babbling Gujju Patel who is obsessed with the UK PR.

Danny, as David Abraham, plays the role of a happy-go-lucky cricketer, who makes the stern Nana smile. Hattrick is about human emotions and feelings. You can smile and laugh a lot, and cry with the characters. The director has done a good job with Hattrick. Hats off!

Defining LOVE for the Chennai audience :)

Love - An oft misquoted term, which simply means a plethora of misplaced hormones going into overdrive. A strong feeling of magnetism that tries to pull two confused beings into a bubble, which tricks them into a false sense of joy and serenity. Love, is a shortlived emotion. Let it rest! Love, that springs from the bottom of the heart when a week-old baby gurgles at you, has a longer life than the hormonal surge. I am not talking about honey-sweet emotions connected with mothers, siblings and flowers, puppies etc. I am not even talking about the babies sleeping on bathtowels, like those in a Anne Geddes card. I am talking about the bonding between two unsuspecting people, who are unable to behave rationally once they are "bitten" by the love bug. Why I chose to call it a bug, is that once you are bitten, you become devoid of rational thought and behaviour. You tend to forget things, as your hard disk is on an overdrive trying to store images of your beloved! If only you coul

Nithya Suresh Kaun Hai?

Nithya Suresh Kaun Hai? Well, this would be the case a few hours ago. But now, 1 hour later, its a fact. A simple yeah, has completed my journey. Maybe I am crazy to say yes, without even thinking. But I had already decided to say yes even without meeting the guy. The Groom, to be exact. Suresh alias Subramanian, would have been my Prince Charming. A would be husband. But destiny had other plans in store. Suresh, withered away without even a trace. My beloved parents spurned him. He was shooed away, because, he turned out to be something else that he originally wasn't. His lies, had turned him into a non-performing asset. NPA. Suresh had to go. He had not completed the formalities. He had lied about his qualifications and job. He had to be stopped from starting the engagement formalities. A phone call took care of that. And an e-mail did the trick. I was relieved. Woudn't I?

Being All Parts

Have you ever wondered if you were living all parts of your body totally and completely? Have you ever wondered how it would feel to feel and live with all the parts of your body? Do you know that people only accept certain parts of you. Rest, they simply reject. Maybe, because they aren't so comfortable with the parts. Leave alone other people, have you, as an individual, accepted your wholeness with all its flaws. Do you have the courage to face yourself?
