Hola Folks !
Mondays are such a slow starters that people(like me) take the opportunity for blog writing.
In fact as I was writing the above line , I realised that on the positive side , Monday is indeed a good opportunity for this. Chance to summarize the whole last workweek and also to word your weekends, at a time when moments are just starting to give way to consuming weekdays again.
So, What were my moments last week? Umm...Had a sleepy Saturday (Yes , don't have that disgusted expression,,people who leave at 6:30 am and return at 7:30 pm daily ought to have a full day sleep on Sats). Sunday was quite a fun though..We were going for Agneepath...Yes Hrithik starer Agneepath and by 'we', I mean me and my friend Sherry...(though his habits be somewhat like a girl(Oops! sorry sherry, I know you don't read this!) but he is a boy..). Of course, we both were very excited. I was quite excited as it was a long time since my last movie outing specially a hit one. Though the intensity of Sherry's excitement was only evident to me when we were eating burgers at McDonald , waiting for the show and he told me that he forgot to collect the change from bus conductor.(40 bucks, no big deal!)
Anyways, the movie started quite well specially the entry of Lord Voldemort Senior a.k.a. Kaancha Cheena...Damn Man! He was looking seriously evil.. In that Black, death eater's wear and with that bald look along with horrific beats in background.... Roaring claps, screams and whistles could be heard all around. Gradually as the movie unfolded, one could see the difference in scripts of both Agneepaths. Though the plot was still same and the flow was easily predictable. Sanju baba did look menacing but more work could have been done in dialogues writing and dialogue delivery. Also, after initial few shots his role came to lights only in the climax.In terms of acting, I would say everyone performed average with Rauf Lala a.k.a. Rishi Kapoor leading the pack. Though the movie was long enough but it engaged pretty well. Even then I think the length could have been shortened. Sets and locations were perfect according to plot and music is suiting the situations. Hrithik has performed well but certainly not his best performance. Movie was a one time watch surely.
Overall, I would agree with ratings it received(3/5). Also agree to the fact that it was a remake and so the plot advantage was easily lost. Even after being so long and too predictable(not director's fault), it was enjoyable with some scenes raising adrenaline levels and some raising throat choking emotions...the song by Sonu Nigam...Ab mujh mein kahin..being the one such phase...
While coming back, sherry would have been a Man of Joy..as his ticket loss got somewhat relieved when the conductor didn't ask us for tickets(Yes, even we didn't bothered to ask him). Now, generally a man of honesty I am ;-) , but someone has said "Eent ka jawaab paththar se dena chahiye", that being a different issue who gave 'Eent' and who got 'paththar'..as far as we were concerned they both were conductors.
At home, when I was fighting hard to avoid sleep(If you sleep in afternoon, you wake at night and cant wakeup at 5 next morning...) I realized that I was missing something and it didn't took long to switch to Australian Open finals. Feels so good when you are a Live witness to match of history. Yes , that's what I'll call it. That's what everybody is calling it. The longest Grandslam finals ever. 5 hours 53 minutes...Are you joking!..and hell of a nail biter..
Djoker beat Rafa 5-7 6-4 6-2 6-7 7-5 and during the course of the game I was unable to decide whom to support as I am a sport lover not star lover(doesn't holds true in case it's cricket).
At the end of fourth set though after a great comeback by Rafa , I thought it would be his day but that's what they call unbelievable .. after every point, you couldn't say whose cake it was...
Audience were quite clearly the winner..to watch such matches is a feast...
Slowly, my super Sunday faded into darkness with delicious 'aloo matar gobhi'( ok I'm lying, we couldn't find matar in market..) as I prepared for a Routine Monday.
Writing blog on Monday is surely fine but you gotta be careful because as I am about to finish this I have been caught by my manager 4-5 times. Now I wish, he is a fan of literature(:-( which I'm sure my blog isn't an example of)
Anyway, a good time pass till lunch.
Seeya All!
Signing Off !
