Abhay Deol - A Critique`

A charming face, dimpled smile, and a disarming manner. Saw one of his movies the other day and fell for his charms. This guy has some great acting genes. He has taken off where Bobby Deol or Sunny couldnot reach. Bobby succeeded in swaying the ladies for a short period but then became stereotyped. And vanished.



Abhay, on the other hand does not resort to any such gimmicks and depends on plain talent. The talent to make you cry and move you. "Socha Na Tha" is one such story where Abhay plays a super-rich boy in love with a Catholic girl, Karen. But fate has other plans for him. He meets and falls in love with Aditi (Ayesha). He doesnot realize that he does not love Karen but is simply infatuated by her. Whereas he feels deeply bonded to Aditi. The love story is sachharine sweet, enough to up your sugar levels. But its worth a watch. No violence, no baddy. No villain. Just a plain boy-meets-girl story, which can happen to anyone.



Abhay Deol certainly has potential to become a good character actor. After SNT, he was seen in Ahista Ahista, opposite Soha. He gave a good performance as the "Witness," but his classic performance till date, is in "Ek Chaalis ki last local." This is one of the best movies I have seen. Most people would find it boring, slow, and a drag. But if you have a keen taste for good cinema and like to watch good performances by good actors, this one is a must watch.



In short Abhay Deol has arrived.

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?
