Jab Tak Hai Jaan, A Yash Chopra Romance.

In 21 years of my life I'll be writing the 1st Review a film.
Don't worry it won't be printed n'where as it's too late but these is one the few films which I completely rejected even without watching & when I did watched it yesterday, it blew me off.
It was back in the late 90's when I was a fan of Srk, he was my hero & I wanted to be like him, in the early 20th century when he turned producer & to keep that company up he started doing anything & everything which came in his way, my craze for him finished & after Devdas I never saw his films, exceptions left for a few which were for other reasons, not Srk.
He grew huge as a star, as a very rich & successful man but I never respected him coz his ways were like of a Dictator, I just hated him for everything he did, even his natural talent, acting irritated me.

Till date, I never saw any good in him, have reasons for that & never ever though I'll write for the man with a big nose.

And now yesterday I saw JTHJ, I was given a BrRip of the film & as I was about to delete it, just for the sake of time-pass for 10-15 mins. & to check the last film of the great director I started watching it.

JTHJ -
A boy with no money, terrible English resides in London, the city which gave English to the world. It's very hard for him to earn money & live there, but he's positive & does his job v.well.
To my surprise this, so poor boy has such expensive clothes to wear every day, he has an awesome guitar, he could write, sing & compose such wonderful piece of music & also he is a world class dancer, still he's very poor.
One day a owner/manager of a restaurant offers him a job & he takes it, to my surprise is it that easy & simple in London? N'ways he now is at a job & as a part of that goes to a part as a serving man & than meets a rich girl, whom he has seen earlier & most probably fell in love with, he charms her, now he's got a job but still he continues his singing on the street job & this rich girls meets him with a request & than they meet daily.

A poor boy, with no money & English & a Rich girl with no Punjabi help each other & feel in love, it's their last day & the still poor boy knows she going to marry someone else but tells her that he loves her & will kiss her, he does it & feels happy that she didn't beat her up.
I just was about to stop the film but than laziness won & it continued, even the girl is in love but wants to do something for her dad, marriage in this case & takes a oath, to Jesus, who is shown like a friend of her that she won't meet this guy, she than meets her mother who had left her when she was 12, for love & after the meet she realizes that love is everything & tells the boy that even she is in love & they sing a song, now she will be talking to her father, but just than the boy meets an accident & she thinks it's because she broke the promise done to Jesus & request him that she won't ever meet him if he saves his life, Jesus listens to him & she part ways, the boy goes to India & becomes a Major in Indian army, diffusing 100's of bombs without wearing the life protection jacket. . . . He challenge Jesus to kill him.

I though it's the biggest mistake Yash ji has done by making this kind of shit, but than just before the interval, something magical stuck me, I am not able to get over & almost after 12 years, Sharukh Khan attracts me, I won't write down the second half now, because that's where the magic is which made me write it down ;-)
Everything so wonderfully placed & presented, the story, dialogues, scenes, narration, everything, I forgot the world in the 2nd half.

Don't know why nothing meaningful or logical was though for the 1st half coz I was almost going to stop it after the terrifying 15-20 mins.
But thank's to Jesus I didn't.

The Story, Locations, Performances, Screen-play & above all the Direction, I just felt for the film which was so much wonderful, Srk, Katrina, Anushka, they were born to play these roles & I was blessed to get that experience.

Sharukh's 2nd half was exceptional & looking over all, you deserved all the awards for acting, I think am again a fan, not sure but you mesmerized me, Lt. Yash ji,you surely are the King of Romance for making such a legendary film (2nd half) with such simple plot on intense relationships.

Salute to team JTHJ.
Salute to Yash Ji & Aditya.

Filmy Farewell 2012 !!

When Mom-Dad are out for the new year, it's a perfect time to do nothing else but to watch films on the big screen. Gave thyself the new year gift in the last week of December. [23-26 December 2012]

All of the films were amazing & fall in the category of a Must Watch. So with a bit of faith in my judgement, do watch :-

[1] A Mighty Heart -
Super performances by Angelina Jolie & Irfan khan, based on a true story, the film revolves around a kidnapping done in Pakistan.

[2] Megan Is Missing -
Another true story of 2 girls who got disappeared in US, real footage's are used in the film, which were recovered by a camera of one of the girls.

[3] Hotel Rawanda -
It's a bit surprising but this one is yet another True story, based on the Mass killings of a home war in one of the African countries.

[4] My Week with Marilyn -
I am shocked to see that did I just watched all true stories. Yup, yet another True story based on the life of The Marilyn, Based in the time when she went to The great Britain to shoot a film.

[5] Project X -
A must watch for all those who fall in the age group of 14-22. A work of fiction, but a hell of a movie.

[6] Proof -
An adorable film, based on Mathematics, it's a mind-boggling narration.

[7] The Time Traveler's Wife -
The reason of my watching it was my fav. actress being the lead, but the film over-all turned out to be good.

[8] The yellow Handkerchief -
A road movie, simple, sweet & made with a cute message.

[9] The transit -
An awesome action film, distributed by Reliance Pictures, it's an experience.

[10] The Terminal -
Just amazing, I saw the film & was curious to see who's the Director as I fell in love the Direction & than the name appeared, Steven Spielberg. Name says it all.

So, that's how I said good-bye to 2012. . .

:: facebook controversy, Balasaaheb ::

Well, well, well. . .
After reading, analyzing & getting many post related to the recent post controversy by Shaheen, I would strongly like to put my views publicly.

How many of you know, who Bal Thakrey were? What have they done being a politician, a cartoonist or an one man government from 1995-99? Why are they so popular & why millions of people used to be ready to do anything on a word of Balasaaheb?
Have any of you, or that girl, even bothered to look into the past?

Just limbering to see Balasaaheb as an anti-Bihari, that too seeing the reports by these over-judgmental Media.
Bal thakrey were not against anyone, they were with their people, that's it.
Yes, we can say they were against-society at times but that too they were clear with the reasons & motives.

Am reading many post like :

"One anti-bihari dies."
"Many Bal thakrey are born & die each day."
"I support Shaheen." etc etc.

I don't give a damn to what you think, even I write my heart out all the time that too on this social platform & without thinking of the consequences, am not opposing that you should think & speak like the real Mumbaikar's who have their eyes filled with tears from last 3 days. But please don't behave like Moron's. . .

Dear friends when you shout for the respect of Bhagat singh, Sukhdev & Rajguru do remember that this man has done no less than them, he didn't die for this country but he has stood like a Tiger for all those who were in need, irrespective of their cast, sex & religion for over 4 decades.

And as far as the controversy is concerned, those girls were arrested because they had complain against them, the police was doing their duty, also it's the police only who has given them protection & have taken them to safe place at this moment.

And last but not the least :-

Nobody forced 2 Million people to come to the funeral of Balasaaheb.
Nobody forced 50 Million people to shut their work down.
At a greater stage it was the respect for that Man, that led to all this. . .


"Balasaaheb was cremated with full state honours at Shivaji Park maidan."

Dis-agree strongly with :-
[1] Arvind Kejriwal
[2] Justice katju
[3] Some facebook friends

इन 'खुशियों' से अब तुझे क्या मिलेगा,
जा बेच आ इन्हें बाज़ार मैं, कुछ तो मिलेगा ।।

इस बीमारी मैं अब दवा क्या करेगी,
'दीदार' है मर्ज़, ये डाक्टरी क्या करेगी ।।

बेहोशी के होश मैं,जोश से क्या होगा,
जो होना है वो होगा, 'मस्तांगी' रुत करेगी ।।

हम भी लिख के, समझा के, क्या करेंगे,
जब 'कलम' की हैसियत मालूम होगी तब ही बात बनेगी. . .

Real & Shocking incident, own experience, Mehul Newaskar

17 Oct. 2012.

Couple of week's back, terrible pain in my eyes started, I decided to visit my regular eye doctor after completing my prior commitments.

It was in between I learnt that my regular doctor's clinic is way too far from my residence and so I took a decision to give a try to some new doctor this time, I found out one such reputed doctor and after getting free from all my projects I had a visit, 2 days back.

This visit came as a real shock because when the new doctor examined me, he was surprised to see that I was given a specks of +0.50 on my left eye and -1.75 on my right eye, which I was using from 2 years 8 months, he then and there check my eyes thoroughly and gave me real shock that I don't have a number !!

He said my left eye is perfectly alright and I have a slight, minute number on my right eye. He also made a statement that the number I was using earlier can't be given by a doctor because it's completely unjustified.

And now after 2 years 8 months I have came to know that my eyes were fine, what I needed were just Anti-glare glasses and I was using such heavy numbers from such long time.

And now my new set of specks are being prepared. . . 

Just hope my new doctor is right this time. It's just that I Love my eyes :))

Also got to hear this statement, "It's India, things like this are normal."

Really pals, "India"

दिल है. . .

दिल है आशना है, पता नहीं और क्या है,
दर्द है, फलसफा है, पता नहीं क्यों-क्या है ||

वो कॉलेज छोड़ना और लेने भी आना,
कोई फ़ोन मिस हो जाये तो देर तक पछताना,
किसी बात पे तेरी, घुस्सा ना होना, गर आये भी घुस्सा तो सिर्फ मुस्कुराना,
तेरी वो ज़िद और ज़िद को पुराना,
तेरी साथ की वो घडी और मचल सा जाना,
जो बात हो कोई तो तुझे ना बताना, फिर रूठे जो तू, तो तुझे फिर मानना,
प्यार था, इश्क था, या थी वो मोहोब्बत, जैसा

 भी था वो रूमानी ज़माना |

तुझे बिन देखे ना होती सुबह थी, बिन सुने डाट नींद आती कहाँ थी,
कहते थे 'भाभी' जब तुझे दोस्त मेरे, क्या बताऊ मैं झूम जाता था दिल मैं,
एहसास था वो, एक अलग ही समां था, तेरे साथ के लिए हितो मैं यहाँ था,
कैसे समझाऊ, ना शब्द ना जुबा है, ये बात तेरी-मेरी, और कुछ यहाँ है |

मेरे लिए तू, जब तक है जां,
तेरे लिए मैं, जब तक है जां,
रहना तू युही, हुर्दुम हमेशा. . .

चाहूंगा तुझे मैं, जब तक है जां, जब तक है जां, जब तक है जां ||

(मेहुल नेवासकर)

मेरे देश मैं यही होता है. . .

अन्याय के खिलाफ खड़े होने पे देह्द्रोह का मुकदमा चलता है,
भ्रष्टाचार और लूट करो को तो मान सम्मान मिलता है,

सत्यमेव जयते कहे कोई तो पूछे जाते है दस सवाल,
दस सवाल मैं करोडपति बनाने वाले को भगवान् का दर्जा प्राप्त होता है,

समाज रहे ना रहे हमे क्या फर्क,
सचिन रिटायर ना हो जाये इसका डर ज्यादा रहता है,

सत्याग्रह करने वालो पर चलती है लाठियां,
कॉमन की वेल्थ अपने नाम केरने वाले आराम से लेटे है अंगडाइया,

राष्ट्र चिन्हों का इस्तेमाल 'पंजे' और 'कमल' के साथ होता है,
इस बारे मैं जब गर आपत्ति उठाए कोई तो उसे नर्क ही प्राप्त होता है,

इंसानियत तो अब ढूंढे नहीं मिलती,
और इसको छोड़ बाकि सब छुपाये नहीं छुपती ||
