MUBARAKAN is a Comedy of Errors! With its share of Errors…

I know… I completely Understand! Two Arjun Kapoors?? Really… It will a harrowing time for those who had to bear Aurangzeb (Hope you remember that). However, before you pass a judgement, hear me out! (Or read me out!) Mubarakan has its moments! But they all belong to others, not Arjun Kapoor. Given that this is a Anees Bazmi movie, who gave us No Entry, Welcome, Ready, Singh is King, Pyar to Hona Hi Tha etc, the hopes are pretty high! For starters, Anees does not disappoint! He delivers what he does best. A 150 min light comedy with confusion at multiple layers, multiple characters and multiple times. His trademark style of goofy slap-stick comedy is what you can expect of this movie. The plot is twisted, just to make it funny. Sanjay Kapoor (Yes, Anil Kapoor’s “yet a baby” brother) is also a part of the movie. But don’t worry, he dies in the first few seconds of the movie, only for a cameo towards the end. Yes, he returns, but not in the usual Bollywood style, l

Munna Michael Has MJ crying in his grave...

150 Minutes and Rupees Of My Life I Will Never See Again… Let’s start with what I think… You may term it as “Too Far Stretched An Imagination” Nawazuddin owes money to Jackie or Ayesha Shroff!  There is no other logical reason I see for an actor like Nawazuddin, to take up a project like MUNNA MICHAEL. The Movie has it all… Comedy, Drama, Action, Dance, Music, Love Story, Villain, Romance, Revenge… And to top it, some good actors! Unfortunately, the pro is also the con for the movie. The Director Sabbir Khan seems to be confused with what actually he wanted to make!  Film making is to a director, what cooking is to a chef. One ingredient here or there and the end product is not what we wanted. Sabbir here had too many ingredients, in the wrong quantities, at the wrong time… On high flame! One question that I had in mind throughout the movie (apart from “WHY AM I WATCHING THIS”?), was why is there a connection to Michael Jackson? There are

Source : bobbles.tv Television or Movies as we know them exist for some basic reasons! Entertainment topping the list... Followed by the likes of delivering a social message etc... Well, as Indians we take pride in the fact that we are the worlds 2nd largest Entertainment industry. However, that does not always account for good and sensible content! Apparently, when it comes to content and sensible content, our neighbors are doing quite a good job at it... The reasons are many: 1.      They have a set number of episodes. They do not start something without an end in mind 2.      No over the top characters. The characters are just like us! living daily lives... They do not sleep in full make up and heavy sarees. 3.      No Blaring Sound... No weird background scores... No Dhoom tananananananana.... Emotions play the key role! Hence, the actors... 4.      Social Message... Many or most of what they make have a reason

Mom proves revenge is best served cold...

Mom released on the 7th of July 2017, Thursday. The movie is based on the current day situation in Delhi (Read Rape Capital of India). The story is woven around a family of four... Devaki (Sridevi), Anand (Adnan Siddiqui), Arya (Sajal Ali) and a young cute girl playing Sridevi's daughter. I say Sridevi's daughter, as Anand and Devaki are both previously married. Their respective spouses supposedly dead. Arya is Anand's daughter and the younger one is Devaki's. As any Indian movie would have it, there is a tiff between the stepmom and the older daughter. Arya does not approve of Devaki as her MOM... Keep calling her Ma'am, as Devaki also works as a teacher at her school. A boy named Mohit from Arya's class has the hots for her! Which again Arya does not approve of. At a Valentines day party in some farmhouse, the guy makes inappropriate advances towards Arya, only to be insulted before a crowd. Bollywood takes its due course

Why The KHAN'S Can Never Give Us A Baahubali

ImageSource:ibtimes.co.in It was a fine Sunday afternoon... I was doing the usual... NOTHING! Just lying on the couch like a rock! Surfing the channels... I got like over 600 of them... Thanks to Videocon D2H (Platinum HD).. As usual, none of the 600 were of any substance. I had to turn back to the love of my life... YouTube & Netflix! Now I was split with choice... It was like 60 million videos as against 600 channels! I played something.. God knows what!!... It played... Ended... Something else started. This went on for sometime. Finally, there was Baahubali in a language that I did not understand. Probably Telugu. I did not understand a word of it, but still watched the entire thing without blinking. By the evening, I questioned myself... I had so many options.. Why did I get hooked onto this movie.. In a language that I did not understand? There is something about Bahubali (not about Mary)... Prabhas has managed to become a household name across India, irrespective of di
