FILMISTAAN : Fata poster nikla hero

It seems Bollywood has fallen in love with itself. If you want a proof watch FILMISTAAN. The movie realizes the famous bollywood dialogue - Fata poster nikla hero. Per ye Duplicate nahi hai. I mean, the idea of the movie is quite original. The movie is Nitin Kakkar's debut movie as director. The two chief actors are - Sharib Hashmi and Imanulhaq, who have done splendid acting.

Sharib Hashmi, Innamulhaq

Sharib Hashmi, Innamulhaq

 
A very simple and touching movie which does not let you yawn at any point of time. Yes, that counts to be an achievement in Bollywood movies. The story of the movie includes the setting of India and Pakistan. Terrorism is part of the story but not in its *bloodshed role*. Sharib goes around the border with Americans for an outdoor shoot. He is mistakenly abducted on the place of Americans. He is kept in a border village of Pakistan. The innocent boy has nothing but bollywood on his mind. His craziness for Bollywood is the center around which the movie revolves. 
  
The pakistani fellow Imanulhaq, in whose house Sharib is kept , is a peddler of pirated copies of bollywood movies. How Pakistanis are also fan of bollywood is shown thorugh him. How both Indians and Pakistanis have same roots are also pointed out in the movie.

The movie has again something new for you. An off-the-beat movie, with original idea and refreshed acting. It is great to see the new actors inventing new definitions of the Acting.

A nice concept, nicely brought out. Can be Watched leisurely !

SHAMITABH - It is something different !

Yesterday I watched SHAMITABH. Though earlier I was doubtful but it is actually a Brilliant movie. Written and directed by R. Balki, the movie has major star cast of Amitabh Bacchan , Dhanush and Akshara Hassan. Akshara is Shruti Hassan's younger sister and Shamitabh is her debut film. Her acting is superb, I bet no one can say that its her debut movie.

The movie has simple yet intricate plot. It is the story of two people's Ego clash.  Danish (Dhanush), who is a Marathi and dumb by birth, wants to become an actor in Bollywood. After many struggles , Akshara, who is an assistant director, happens to see him and after recognizes his talent, tries to bring him in the knowledge of her boss. But because he is a voiceless fellow, his talent is barred. Just in the moment, they get to know about a technology which may help Danish , all they have to do is find a good voice which can suit on Danish 's personality.

Here comes Amitabh Sinha in the picture. His voice is powerful and perfect for a hero. They offer him to become the voice of Dhanush on screen. He laughs out loud.... Amitabh says- jis aawaaz ko directors ne to kya radio ne bhi reject kar diya , tu usi awaaz se hero banega. A beautiful blend of real story and fiction we see here. When Amitabh agrees to become Danish's voice they make a superhit movie - Lifebuoy. Gradually, both develop Egos and think that the other is nothing. Amitabh, a heavy drinker develops a theory that he is Whisky and Danish is water. Water ko whisky ki jarurat hai, whisky ko water ki nahi. On the other side, Danish thinks he is the actor and Amitabh is a peon- just working for him.Later, they find that both need each other for success.

The end of the movie is a Shock and that's the beauty of the whole movie. Suspense is always a pivotal part of any drama. At the end, you feel like crying. Amitabh's acting leave you speechless.
It is in the end, a literati can construct and deconstruct multiple meanings of the story. The feast for hindi movie lovers is that the story is not typical romantic-action drama or cliche terrorism, it is something different.  Undoubtedly, a must watch for Bollywood lovers !

May God all your wishes come true :)

                                               I dream a lot. Mostly I dream of a peaceful life free of all kind of pollutions. And just the idea of a life Befikar gives you a soothing relaxation. What if it does come true? I am a jobless right now but whenever I think of a dream job it is a kind of work where you just have to sit in front of internet with cup cakes, coffee and good things to read. I wish someone could give you money for doing what you like and doing it when you like. Enough for the day dreams but really! what if there are no worries in your bag , just money in your account.

Top five things that I would do if I were #Befikar Umar Bhar are :

1.  To have a Farmhouse -
                            The first thing that I would do is to have a farmhouse. Me and my husband always dream to have a farmhouse far from the city. Whether to have a relaxed weekend or to have parties on occasions, a farmhouse is such an ideal place.

2. Own a club or cafe - 
                           Farmhouse is okay but an Adda to organize a Club is my dream. I love the ideas of informal club, coffee house, book cafe and alike. I am totally a social worm and I am in love with literati discussions and artistic ambiance. If ever I have a book cafe or club , I would decorate it with paintings of newbie artists , antique and recreational stuff and loads of books. We can always fulfill our dreams , isn't it? 

3. Own a Library - 
                           Did I say I am a hardcore book lover? Although that doesn't mean reading books all the time but I cherish reading books than anything. I believe a person becomes a complete human being only by reading good books. Francis Bacon has said it aptly, " “Reading maketh a full man; and writing an axact man" So some day I want to establish a Library in my town or may be a chain of libraries all over the country. It is said, think of sky, at least you would reach top of a tree.

 4. Go on a World Tour - 
                             It has been hardly one year of my marriage and we have gone on three tours including honeymoon. We have visited Daman, Shirdi (Nasik), Saputara , Himachal Pradesh, Vaishno Devi and most recently Goa. Me and my husband both love visiting new places. We both are adventurous. But life does not always allow you such freedom. Specially belonging to the middle class family you are tied up with so many social responsibilities and the pressure to earn enough money always remain the same. But if I ever get a chance, I would go on a World Tour.

5.  For the parents and kids - 
                                 We have many dreams in our lives which we think we will  fulfill once we are retired or have enough money but the ground reality is we are hardly able to fulfill all of them. But on two things we never compromise- wishes of our parents and future of our children.

                                If not for the 1- 4 wishes but for the fifth wish, we surely need a lot of financial planning. These days everywhere you listen "aaj kal zindagi ka koi bharosa nahin", that means there is no surety of life these days. So one should plan their finance in the way that even if some causality happen to them, their family does not break down. As long as I understand , the life insurance is a good option. The IDBI federal life insurance  is even better. Not sure? Read here- IDBI Life Insurance  the five reasons why you should choose to be #Befikar Umar Bhar. No time to read the page then watch the one minute video and you would surely like to go into its details.

 By the way, what will be your five wishes? Well, whatever they are , May God all your wishes come true :)
