kank ........... pure pleasure or pure pain ??....

KANK … yaa ... kabhi alvida naa kehna…..
Thought of writing something... but, Barka Dutt was ahead of me...
Heres, my modest stuff anyways …

KANK - the agony of Shah Rukh, once a renowned player, now, just a coach, the best example of how to blame others for your misfortune and never look inside... Where the cause lies…
Who is so engrossed in seeing ill in others, that he even blames Rani for his accident….
Rani … who refuses to see how much her husband cares for her … and instead lives her life wallowing in self pity … because she can not have a child … She bonds with the utterly complexed and totally negative Shah Rukh.. And both attempt to feed the fire of their individual woes …. !!
Abhishekh…a rare treat… A guy, who believes that life is a party, is stuck with the wrong person … who can never see happiness around her... Because her heart is cold...
And Preity, who can do no right, because Shah Rukh believes that his judgment is ultimate and only he can give the “Final diagnosis” …
In between, Mr Bacchan, who is a true believer in “Each to his own”... Tries to ask each of these characters to be unbiased about the other...And in the end, when it doesn’t happen asks each to go his own way... The best advice given so far ….

KANK- The comic break -Things are going almost right when, Karan Johar stamps the film with his usual comedy scenes and his “One Classical confusion” … Per film …
Remember the scene, where the calls of the 2 Anjalis were interchanged... KKHT
And the secne where the guest comes home... from Kal ho Naa ho …
Karan uses the “Great Identity Crisis” to regale his audiences once more in KANK..
With a sequence where Rani and Shahrukh feel their spouses are housing boyfriends and girlfriends respectively in their bathrooms!!.... Making the film reek once again, with the need for acceptance by the “Great Indian Mass”…

The song – Where’s the party tonight – is amazing, and so is the fact that, both the lead singers are the same as “it’s the time to disco” - (KHNK)... Shan and Vasundhara again stretch their vocals for this one...But hey forgot to mention John’s immense contribution, as the “Echo master”… who, simply repeats the words that abhishekh sings... Funny...
And please, special thanks to Arjun Rampal who was simply irreplaceable... and to the leading lady Kajol... For wearing a Sari... Appearing in heels... And then vanishing... was it a Magic Show or what???... Yes indeed, “thank you Sam”

In other words, KANK teaches the audience … like a picture textbook does ….
Glossy, filmy, colourful- the lessons there, but the keen mind needs to dig it from under the candy floss…

Marketing ka Halwa

Har admi marketing ka halwa bana ke dusre ke halak mein dale ja raha hae … Bura haal hae… Marketing is certainly not what it wanted to be, today if you measure marketing on its own brand prism, it would indeed lie defeated on all counts. Every 1 person enterprise has a marketing budget these days, translated as money spent on consumer nuisance and harassment. As if it’s not boring enough to be serenaded by Irfan’s dull as ditch water middle aged act every few minutes on TV, courtesy Vodafone, we have to bear inane ads linking things like soap with Vishwas and Bharosa. What the hell has bharosa got to do with a standard consumer durable like soap?? Is the emotional pull even required?? I am quite happy if my soap smells good .. and thank god for that. Does a consumer really buy more if an Aggarbatti promises to invoke god? Or if a Galaxy tab can help sketch some man with a tap running on his head? Does it all really account to more sales or just more NOISE? Leave apart the insaneness of...

what is Pyar?

I always wanted to stick to the notion of the 1950's pyar hua ikraar hua rain soaked heavy love, Par ye year 2k mein iss pyar ka kya hua? Magazines like Cosmopolitan and others treat it like a game, giving weird tips such as don't make your guy feel like your'e too into him, don't always make yourself available, don't give surprise gifts... But then by playing all this hard to get, do you actually keep the romance alive? Surprise, when you get to books and articles which talk about how to bring back the spark in your relationship they speak about the same things in a definite U turn, Give surprises, be there for each other, make yourself available etc, I think love has not changed, what has changed is the intrinsic human core, from the generosity of our grand parents to the miserliness of the teenagers, each human now wants to know what he can get from the other before even squeezing a lemon drop of a favor for the other. Which is why each relation has changed to be...

Loneliness

No matter how many movies i see, outings i arrange, friends i meet, food i eat, mags i read, or posts i write. My mind is lonely, like a lost icy seagull alone on the shore, i thought il get over it so i write some more. But the human mind is so designed that it can be lonely even when deeply engaged, is there a kinship i can create? With myself coz none is there in these private moments im stil aware, no one like me of me for me by me, im unique and everyone else is too, is that why we are so lonely , me and u?
