Gan?s of Wasseypur...a re view!!!

Friends, I just watched Gan_s of Wasseypur....(so) much late. The reviews were already out and I believed the 4 star rating. Of course I loved Anurag Kashyap's earlier work so it was an easy trap. Trap...it was! "Kah kar loonga"....they meant it literally.

There was a liberal usage of a certain language and it added to my knowledge and vocabulary. One such word seemed the crux of the movie and was used so frequently that I actually wondered if it was mis-spelt in the poster. Manoj Bajpai looked Bihari Babua but not Muslim. The paradox was his auladen (Progeny), Jayaz and najayaz (legal and illegal).... none of his boys looked good despite his good looks or the looks of the sexy women he laid. Some mutations of the genes some where. So much so one of his sons looked haggard and older than him.

Women????? Were they even required?  Not really. While his eye sore sons had beautiful eye candies  to hang around with, he had a hot bong to show some flesh and some suggestive hot moves. It was sex and sleaze and loads of blood shed. Butchery shots were the highlights and may have appealed to a God knows what kind of people.

Men in the front rows loved it as they cheered every gaali and harkat. The men in the back rows loved it too perhaps but they watched it quietly. The women........??????????????????

Women would run away....whats with that nonsensical hunter gibberish passed as some classic from Trinidad. It seems from Trinibad!!

"Kah Kar Le Lee".....thats what the movie makers claim in print ads. Well I don't know about the audiences but CENSOR KI TOH LE LEE....  It's quite a leap from Delhi Belly and Dirty Picture and will set a DISGUSTING trend in the days to come. It should be classified as something else than an A Film.

Its like emperor's new clothes, everyone is raving about it.......but let me tell you Raja Nangdhadanga hai......!!!

PS: Guys, its tough being a film maker and tougher being an objective critic. Worse if you want to turn a filmmaker too. How could a filmmaker-to-be so damn critical of someone's work? I know I am taking a big risk........:))))))))))))))))

Pre Marital Sex ???? OMG, OMG !!!!

Preity Zinta is back in town and busy chatting up with tweeple about the hackneyed PMS..pre marital sex. Oolala! That was my the lead story in Deccan Chronicle's Sunday Page co authored with a friend. A well researched article that was published in 1994 in DC sizzled the ground I walked on. The heat was unbearable. The responses ranged from this extreme to that. Many chose to believe our researched facts in the story and others just chose to abuse me and look at me with suspicion and contempt because I was a young unmarried woman writing about it. What people did not understand that I was not endorsing or supporting PMS. 

I had not known the story was already in print for the Sunday edition when I walked into the DC office on a Thursday evening that time and the reactions and the glances of some people were just too much to handle. Uff!!!

As a woman writer I always feel  sensitive to whatever gets written about sex...pre or post marriage. And how the spoken word goes around. From an innocuous SEX column where each one of us have been ticking Male/Female to announce who we are to SEX as a three letter forbidden word the whole perspective changes.

@realpreityzinta i think it's completely OK as sex is an emotion more out of love than marriage & love does not wait for marriage to happen.

I would say that there is no point in getting judgmental about it but yes while men communicate to get that sex, women give sex to get that communication right. Somewhere along the line if its only about good sex and not about bonding then it is devoid of emotions. And that can turn a relationship into a nerve breaking stressful one which has a very short shelf life.

There is nothing wrong about sex if it happens to be a building block in a healthy, respectable and a loving relationship without a negative space of guilt!!!

That's the name of Naseerudin Shah's latest film. Just saw the film yesterday in a half empty, single screen hall with a drowsy audiences. Well, that still won't deter me from saying that I loved the movie. 'A good cinema' is how I rate it. I don't know the box office figures but it hit off well with me. Actually Naseer and the rest three guys in the film did. I love them all. Atul Kulkarni, Ravi Kishan and KK Menon are good actors and Naseerudin Shah is becoming dirtier, naughtier and bindaas with old age. Where did I read that he was to retire. I will say, "Oh, Please don't go!"

The movie has quite a dirty quotient of bad bad world. No, No....there ARE women in the movie but no heroine and frankly one does not miss having one on the screen. Some new bee gyrates to add the masala factor in the movie but cut it...thats an occasional dose. The men keep you busy with their anecdotes and interesting life histories. The story is racy and keeps you smiling till the end.

I actually loved Kulkarni crooning famous "Hawa, Hawa, aye Hawa, khushbu luta de".. Lemme warn you there is no good over evil ending. Its fun film with good humour. Enjoy!! Shall I say," Just chill!"

I spent at least three hours trying to decipher the meaning of some blogging terms and laying out a decent spread of a blog. Still I am open to suggestions from all of you. So please follow and write back.

When my settings asked if it had Adult Content, I paused and thought about it seriously. No it actually does not. There is more objectionable content available via cinema, TV, mobile phones and print media. And it is right there into your face...unsolicited. Bigg Bosses Salman and Sanjay together could not do to TRPs what Porn star Sunny Leone dancing on pole could. Is there a censor rating to it?

Innuendos and cuss words are everywhere. I am not indifferent to all these. I don't pretend that I don't understand. WTF..has lost its dirty feel and sounds just a cute little phrase because I have overheard young people using it...for fun. People swear just to add that punch over there. Even lyricists felt inadequate without certain vocabulary and needed Bose DK to bail them out.

I write what I see and hear, and a reaction to it. 'Reality' is pretty screwed up. And "fuck-ups" keep happening. If the proud parents can let their underage children watch a Delhi Belly...this is a very uncorrupted piece of writing. Still it may have those strong reactions, sometime. So I have renamed my blog...FORTIFIED QUIRKIES U/A...

So Young Adults can read it too!!!
