Haseen Dilruba – movie review

-

There used to be a famous joke during the Doordarshan days that movies were like a treadmill, whatever be the runtime you start watching the movie, the story will still remain stuck at the same scene. If anyone had started watching this hindi movie, they would’ve been perplexed and wouldn’t be wrong to think if they dozed off and woke up into a different movie with same cast!! The movie begins with a bang and the first 10 15 minutes are laugh riot. Especially the mother character of the hero, she steals the show from literally every single person on the frame. Till half way through, wasn’t even aware that the guy who gets married to Tapsee is the actual hero of the movie!!! That is the disadvantage of new comers in connecting with audience who keep hoping to see some familiar face showing up and taking the movie over. Not that this guy is bad performance wise, but looks more like a tv soap opera personality stuck on a big screen. Tapsee’s character starts on a mischievous note, turns into a vamp of a wife and graduates into adultery and melodrama – all before the interval block!! Anniyan Vikram, with his split personality disorder, didn’t had this many change in characterization!! The story would’ve been a blockbuster hit, if they had continued in the same vein of Maamiyar marumagal tussle. The scene where the MIL cribs to his son that instead of a Bahu they’ve got a beauty parlour was ROFL. The way she warns the hero, not to ask what the would be bride likes, is again an LOL moment. And her attempts at committing suicide was insanely funny. Pity that all these goodness gets exhausted in span of ten minutes. The plot gets murkier and confused as the storyline progresses as to who killed the hero with the upcoming climatic twist being obvious from scene 1. The repeated mention of the hindi detective novelist like Rajesh kumar, makes on wonder, if that author is real, for some of the storylines that get mentioned in the movie as his novels, sounds far more interesting than this script.

Gils verdict – Haseen Dilruba is not worth your hard earned Rooba. This Haseen is better unseen.

Gilsu is on a streak of bad luck. Last two days - two scathing reviews.

"The story would’ve been a blockbuster hit, if they had continued in the same vein of Maamiyar marumagal tussle" - Really ??? Why does anybody want to watch maamiyar marumagal tussle. Why oh why ?? Plenty in real life, plenty on TV soaps and after that go to a theatre and watch the same thing ?? Yuk !

The perennial BAD boy of music world..The King of POP..is no more. My initiation to english music was thru him only. "Beat it" was the first song i heard and fell in love instantly. My personal favourite of all his songs is "heal the world". Excellent lyrics and wonderful music. For a person who dominated the world music scene king size..he did had his fair share of controversies to fight with. I guess its the curse of the musicdom that instant fame is accompanied with imminent embarrassments. My longtime desire was to attend a LIVE concert of MJ...now that is one desire of mine which will never be fullfilled :( My Dear "Black/white" man..may your soul rest in peace, now atleast.

Power of Mango People

This is what Aam Janta or Mango people as in "Love Aaj Kal" can do. Swaram is a known name in blogsville and one look at the comments column for ANY of her posts will make any blogger go green with envy. Just an "Hi" "How are you" post would get minmum 100 responses :) Avlo famous she is. More than anything, its her enthusiasm and compassionate nature to take up social causes has won her more friends and accolades. She and her hubby Su are 2 beacons midst the dim veil surrounding the might of common people. They are not super human but ordinary folks like you and me. But the deeds which they do are so magnanimous and purposeful that, on one side it makes you aware of the potential hidden in each one of us and serves as an awakening to take up better causes and on the same side, makes u feel ashamed for not having any purpose to follow. Both of them are employed and they suffered a personal mishap in recent past resulting in financial loss. Still, their ze...
