Movie on my mind: Break Ke Baad!

There was a time when movie-buffs waited for critics on talk shows and newspapers to review a film before deciding whether they'd like to see it. But these days its normal to just wait for your friend's status messages on the weekend after release, telling whether they liked the film or not and watch the film based on the take. Or the more curious can read some blogs before taking a call- coz anybody and everybody is a movie critic, including yours truly! :)


So, yes I did the same and had almost 10 updates on my home page, and everyone said somethings in the line of "the only thing they enjoyed was the break(interval) in break ke baad!" A few did say it reminded them of their own long-distance-relationship too but they were naturally lower in number. 


After having decided to watch the film nevertheless (by almost dragging my highly skeptical hubby) I realize that, the status messages were incredibly mean or people trying their hand in tongue in cheek humour (break-ke-baad and intervals! get it? :P)!'coz I sure enjoyed the film. Must say, its not something that will leave an impact on you- not change your take on love or leave you with much to think about but its definitely worth a once watch!


Before you read ahead, I have to warn you that one of my friend's actually thinks "I am an incurable romantic, hence my reviews are always markedly different from everyone else.." He doesn't know this, but I thought that was a compliment! :D So anyway, here's my two cents, I thought the film was well directed and very well edited. Its a superb job in technicality with some fab locations in Australia added to the mix. But what about the movie eh? Its cute. There's just no other word for it. Imraan's cute... Deepika is cute... Their pairing is cute... I'm sure you get the hang of it! :P


Vishal and Shekhar know the pulse of youth and so their music is usually young, hip and zippy. Repeating the trend, the composer duo has rendered some interesting and upbeat songs that are bound to be liked by music lovers, especially the young generation. It offers a robust mix of songs that are hummable and will be enjoyed by a majority of people.


Seriously, don't go expecting a 'Devdas' or a 'When Harry met Sally'; expect a few good one-liners & natural acting. Go for two hours of cute, modern rom-com & you're not going to be disappointed! It is a 3 star material with really good music. P.S: don't miss the last casting song. Nice work on the editing of that one. Oh and guys and girls, please don't miss the oh-so-hot-hot-pants of our leading lady; she has a body worth worshiping and she does give her bhakts a nice darshan. Who am I to complain, I'm a firm believer of 'If you got it, flaunt it!' :P

Well love stories are not always about intense, passionate love... sometimes its just about cute friendship turned love- interwoven with lots of leg-pulling. This is just that! And what can I say, I had fun! :P

Another Classic: Not Sure Yet

"Not Sure Yet" Singer Andy Lange

Its a simple song that touches my heart 'coz well "its simple!" I love the three lines that constitute the lyrics of the song "I'm not sure yet about life, about love, but in time I'm sure it'll all be fine." Haven't all of us thought the very same sentiment sometime or other in our lives? And don't we always want to believe in the power of just that.  Check it out... It's sure worth listening to. :) (Courtesy Leverage)

A Child-like Dream

Remember those days when we laughed just for fun, simply because we were happy or because we were pulling someone's leg? It felt good to bring laughter and joy to those around us as we shared our teasing and playful mood with them. We found ourself joking with friends or amusing other children and laughing so hard that there were tears in our eyes and our stomach hurt from all the laughter. No matter what we did, we felt humorous and joyful... 

Its been ages since I have done that- Laughed just for kicks... Or let the kid in me, out. She's been playing peek-a-boo somewhere in the background but there's just been too much to deal with and I haven't taken the time to go play with her. I know a cynic would say "Welcome to adulthood!" but I'd like to believe I'm balanced enough to know that its only when I approach the world from this perspective, that I'd lighten up in so many ways... Its only then that any tension that weighed upon me would lift, my eyes would become brighter, and I'd like to believe my smile'd light the room. :) Things that would have frustrated or angered me on another day will just have to make me laugh then as I'd want to shrug it off, freeing myself from unnecessary stress.

Of course I'd have to make sure that my humor uplifts because its so easy to use humor to demean and accidentally hurt people, which is certainly not my intention. I'd like to look for the sparkle in their eyes, the joy on their face and the sound of their laughter; get past their defenses, and maybe remind them of their inner child. And maybe in doing so, I'd go back to that play ground where all children are carefree and playing like its the most serious thing to do. Where the biggest thing worrying me is, what to say when Mumma calls me home, and I want to play longer. And maybe, just maybe everything else will take care of itself..!

Oh well, a girl can dream, can't she? :)
