total timepass...

I would say this is another Salman Khan movie. And he is a real rockstar cool dude! Salman has really transformed himself from what he was in the last few years, from trying to do romantic comedies which he sucked at, to acting in films, where he just plays himself, the brash superstar, and therefore does a good job of it! I would say its the right direction to take, and way to go Salman! The movie's storyline does not have too much unexpected stuff. Some loopholes, which you can ignore. Ajay Devgan hams in his acting. Views of London good as always:) Some good songs. And again, Salman's Chennai Express attitude takes the cake. Nice timepass, will give it 3 out of 5 stars.

" Yeh jabr bhi dekha hai taareekh ki nazron ne Lamhon ne khata ki thi sadiyon ne sazaa payee..." WAH WAH!!! (TRANSLATION : These are the lessons of time: for the mistakes made by moments, the punishment is meted out to centuries) A beautiful sher, which I read in an article on the ibn site discussing the Kashmir problem.. so true for so much happening in the world now, and in our lives too...!! Isn't it beautiful????

Its a bit late to review this movie, as it was released a long time ago, but I had to!! Its a TOTAL laugh riot and a must-watch for people who are true Bollywood fans and can even enjoy the stupid comedies!! Completely over the top, ridiculous events happening one after the other, with no logical flow and to top it all, falling-off-the-chair-laughing kind of jokes throughout the movie. Agree, its mindless comedy which you won't appreciate if you look for logic in a movie, and the acting especially from Ajay Devgan is not top of the pack, but come on, it's a Hindi movie!!!! Would give it 3.5 stars, just for the three hours of pure fun and laughter..

Pros (very limited!!): The story and concept of the movie is decent. Something new, something young, something fresh.. And it would have worked too if just the editing was a bit tight. Acting was quite good too (all the 'directors' in the company have fit in their characters very well) Cons: The pace of the movie is terribly slow, making you impatient and wishing that something concrete happens in the movie soon!! Its not a comedy either as it seemed from the promos, though there are some jokes thrown in, here and there. And last thing, some of the dialogues seem too much over the top. Still its a hindi movie, so would give it 2 stars:)

Lets all North Indians in Mumbai get together and do a fast unto death to make Mumbai a part of UP and Bihar. Given how successful hunger strikes have become, am sure we may be able to get past such a ridiculous demand too!! And am sure, can get enough people to do the fasting and the related gundagardi also.... Surely, Congress wont have a problem with this, and any rioting etc that happens during this process will get pardoned too! So, thats an added positive again in garnering support for the fast!! All those in favour, say aye!

After the brilliant performance by Sehwag in the Test match against Sri Lanka yesterday, lots has been written about him.. I'll just put here, some stuff that was forwarded to me, or I read on some website.. " I have asked him (Tendulkar) many times what the zone is. He tells me that's when "I see nothing except the ball". I ask how that is possible. I have never felt something like that. I have asked Rahul Dravid the same thing. He says sometimes when he is in really good form, he sees only the ball - and not the sightscreen, the non-striker, the umpire or who is bowling, he just sees only the ball. But I have never entered that zone even if I've scored triple-centuries twice. Maybe I will enter that zone they talk about in future." - Can we imagine what would happen if he does start going into 'the' zone??? " Hard as it is to believe, Sehwag had scored just 15 runs off the first 31 balls he faced in the Test." - Such a statement, a...

Something very interesting I read on this Wiki page about Trilemmas . From the Wiki page, one of the interesting trilemmas I read, the social trilemma.... "A society cannot be simultaneously fair, free and equal. If it is fair, individuals who work harder will accumulate more wealth; if it is free, parents will leave the bulk of their inheritance to their children; but then it will not be equal, as people will begin life with different fortunes." So you can choose maximum, two of the three only. Is this where the concept of socialism came from??
