Stars Shine Down

It was a star studded show last evening at PVR Cinemas, Juhu! It was a private screening of Robot and we were thrilled to have been given an invite. As we entered the cinemas, we were one of the few to have arrived early. We waited inside the lounge eager to get a glimpse of the stars. One by one they finally walked in in their own stylish manner.


Isha Koppikar arrived rather subdued. Kunal Kapoor looked ridiculous with a hat on for some reason. Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra walked in rather confidently and was found engaging in some conversation with a few others. Karan Johar came in a poised manner. Dev Anand and Prem Chopra came in and headed straight towards the giant looking Sofas. Hema Malini came in and greeted Latha Rajnikanth in a warm manner. While Tabu looked rather lost and forlorn. Shriya Saran no doubt looked pretty but seemed to appeared rather whiny for some reason. Reema Sen gracefully posed for photographs with a few fans. The show was about to commence when Amitabh walked in quickly with the media hounding him.


During the intermission, we had a few words with Vidhu Vinod Chopra who appeared to be humble and pleased at the praise meted out for his film 3 Idiots. We got a glimpse of Yash Chopra, Subhash Ghai and Raju Hirani. As we entered the hall, Aamir Khan was found walking down the steps followed by his better half Kiran Rao. There were a lot of whistles and claps for the Superstar. He was so humble and down to earth despite his incredible achievements. Post the show, Big B and Rajni Sir were found exchanging warm pleasantaries with the media clicking pictures furiously. Aamir was asked to pose between them. Following them appeared Aishwarya Rai who looked stunning in a White Salwar. Abhishek Bachchan looked cool,casual and unassuming.


Overall it was an enjoyable evening which went on late. Nevertheless an interesting case of stars shine down where we got a glimpse of the whos who.

Heidi: Movie review

Image
I had read this classic by Johanna Spyri as a little girl. I won it as a prize along with my merit card when I was graduating from Primary to Middle School.  When I stumbled upon this on Amazon Prime, I was delighted. It always feels good to watch your favorite fictional characters on screen. Its often slated that the book is always better as it captures a lot more depth with regards to the plot and characters. However a couple of adaptations that I had seen in the recent past made a good watch. A couple of them ended up being a visual treat. One was The Call of the Wild which showcased the beauty of the Alaskan Wilderness. Another one was Heidi which exhibited the splendor of the snow clad Alps.  Heidi is the story of a young orphaned girl who is sent to live in the mountains with her rather eccentric grandfather-who is known as Alm Uncle by the villagers. Heidi manages to melt his heart as he develops an affection for her. She spends her carefree days in t...

100 meters : Movie Review

Image
Watched this inspiring Spanish film over the weekend on Netflix!  100 meters is a based on a true story of a man named Ramon who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He is told that he will be able to even walk 100 meters in the next one year. Determined to prove this wrong, he takes up the challenge of doing the grueling Ironman race which involves 2.4 miles swimming, 112 miles biking and 26.2 miles running.  With the help of his father in law with whom he initially shares a shaky relationship with, he begins to train relentlessly. Ramon faces challenges on the way and is almost pushed to the brink of being bed ridden. He overcomes every hurdle with grit and a positive frame of mind. It remains to be seen if he actually finishes the race.  This movie struck a chord in many ways. A triathlon is not just a race-its a humbling journey which alters your life forever. The training period is especially a challenging one as it demands a lot out of you. The film showcases the i...

My friend Ganesha: Friendship with God

Image
-By Swetha Amit http://content.msn.co.in/MSNContribute/Story.aspx?PageID=b7ab149a-5f35-4861-8859-6a890ddb71fe Loneliness often propels one to longingly seek a friend. Times like these often push us into a solitary stance or we find our solace in the road to spirituality striking an unspoken friendship with God. My friend Ganesha is one such film which depicts this divine friendship between a child and the elephant faced God and takes you down the mythological lane. The movie revolves around a family consisting of Ashu, his parents, aunt and the maid Gangubhai who places her sincere devotion in Lord Ganapathy. Ashu is a lonely child devoid of any friends and to top it all he is bullied by his counterparts at every given opportunity. To make matters worse, his parents who are caught up with the corporate lifestyles hardly spend time with him. One day he ends up saving a little mouse from the harsh rains. On sharing this with the maid, leaves her enthralled enough to tell him of being the...
