a few more exams have gone gone by.. the going seems to be very very tough.. or perhaps am not doing my basics right.. when i got 48th rank at G B pant, i felt that it was just about at par.. considering the fact that there were only five seats and maximum number of candidates had appeared for it.. but in the two exams following that, i havent been able to lift my performances from there.. feel a bit let down by "myself". Crazy huh? but thats how i feel at the moment.. in a bit of semi paralytic state where i am just going with the flow..
i just have got to turn it around... i know..hopefully i can do that before (in sports parlance) the season ends.
adios

My review of Sarkar Raj
The keenly awaited film that it was, directed by the much pilloried RGV following HIS AAG, got me interested in watching sarkar raj. i caught the evening show at PVR, after my exam in the morning(needed a bit of stress busting).
The movie started pretty well.. showing abhishek in his natural form as an intense, brooding actor. Amitabh seemed to be quite content at taking the back seat once ashwairya entered the scene.. the scenes were well shot, the dialogue writer seemed to be in excellent form, but somehow i never felt the intensity that i was expecting. The last half hour seemed to be the saving grace of the movie with its suspense ending and its pace which actually keeps you wanting more when the movie ends. Amitabh somehow steals the show in the end, but goodness, gracious, unexpectedly it was aishwarya who really pulls you in with her acting prowess. She was intense throughout and absolutely rocked. The scene at the hospital(second time around) with the three B's is my pick with two of the characters at their emotive best. You come out of the movie not fully satisfied whether it was money's worth( bloody 175 bucks i had to shelve out for a seat second from front), but after a while you do feel that it was as good as it could get.
Hindi film makers seemed to have forgotten that a great screenplay is a prerequisite for guaranteed box office success, just great performances without a great screenplay guarantees nothing.
