Let's start as to why should you watch it??!! Well it's an out and out SRK's movie!!...so what does it make it so special??...His impressive entry in the flick...like never seen before..yes!! ...Also his completely changed persona..his typical mannerisms we all are so accustomed with!!(will be missed here immensely) His character Bauaa Singh is totally a never seen SRK before!!...he is sly..and yet he's so cute to win your hearts!!.... Watch A Never Seen SRK Before Watch it for NASA....first movie ever to have been shot there in and out....never been so upfront and so close ever!!....yes its The SRK's magic and charm that worked...that they obliged!!...u must have seen it in NGC or Discovery...but never in a Bollywood flick before....the second half is actually like a cherry on the cake...where a simple dwarf from Meerut makes his journey to the Mars!!..which bis not to be missed Yes watch it for Katrina....she brings in the glamour...in every true sense of the word.... Watch it for Mrs Kohli....she's a surprise package all the time....yes!!.. Watch it for the VFX...yes that's how it should be!! To wrap it up....all I can say....well am glad SRK did this flick....His best so far after Chak De India...Swades...My Name Is Khan... Yes this is the SRK I love and adore....was never an ardent admirer of him....But Bauaa Singh stole my heart for ever!! Ten on Ten

Thugs Of Hindostan

Frankly speaking I have stopped listening to these nonsensical blabbering of these Critics.....for they have always mislead me an umpteen times and had always wondered like ""what was there not to like??""when watching the flick on small screen!!... But since few years down the line have been following my own instincts adamantly( after having become selective of course!)....for the sake of my love for the flicks and for watching them on big screen!!... And Thank God I didn't follow the circus!!....the non stop dissuasion for not to watch The Thugs Of Hindostan....which compels me to smell a rat?? I wanted to watch the Thugs and was very eager to do so for quite obvious reasons.... Yes!!...literally I was like zapped!!.. was spellbinded...intrigued...enticed and captivated watching Them!! Together Amir and Amitabh cast their magic spell on big screen to captivate u...enthral u!!(their pulsating chemistry and camaraderie...Amir's wit and humour...Amitabh's action...his aura..his screen presence at this age..mind blowing) Sana Sheikh will make u gape in wonderment for her marvelous action skills and stunts...Katrina on the other hand will make u gasp in delight by her effervescent charm!! Never seen before the Magnificent and very Impressive Individual Entries of all the three main star casts!! It's totally an edge of the seat entertainer...not even for a flick of second will ur mind wander elsewhere!! Excellent VFX...Background Score..Direction...Performnaces...a tight Script what makes the Thugs so special to watch!! Crux:- Firstly it's not about being hit or flop...it's all about entertainment it's all about quality....like Shaan...Jane Bhi Do Yaroun Andaaz Apna Apna flopped then but is considered a cult cinema now!!...and I can watch them innumerable times!! Secondly make ur own decisions..never let a critic impose his thoughts on u Yes Thugs did win my heart and u will love them too!!

Sanju

It's only the magic of RK and Sanju which is making the makers go gaga over the box office collection!!! Sanju is a hit and will always be one!!...movies will come and go...stories will be written and forgotten....but this story is gonna stay!!!... cause Sanju is Sanju!!! R.K did a commendabe job which deserves all the accolades...his brilliance and his acting prowess will make u gape in wonderment whether u r actually watching Sanju or is it RK instead??... The makers had been bold with their flicks and subjects prior...but this time I guess they wanted to play safe ...like one pivotal part of Sanju's life was missing with Baal Thakrey where Sanju was warned politely by him to stay away front politics...some more essential parts were missing too!!... Like the makers could've thrown some light on his Daughter in the U.S also!!...And how he met Maanyata and married her(his marriage too had created a ruckus in his personal life making his relations with his sisters go awry)... Still Kamli...Sanju's Gujarati best friend will leave u in splits...I laughed my lungs out..Actually!!!(the actor did an awesome job incorporating the Gujarati Dialect so well...like "Sex Pear" for Shakespeare..."Snakes" for Snacks!! Crux:- You don't have to be a Baba's/a Sanju's fan to enjoy this flick....go for the sake of fun...or RK...he's a wonderful actor indeed!!....and for some truth...for clearing the shroud""yes!!...obviously Sanju's not a terrorist"" ....

October

This flick is to be felt then to be watched and to get mesmerized... literally!!! The whole essence of the flick lies around those flowers which grows in Autumn ...flowers which falls on the ground after blooming..the plant of these flowers is also called a "" tree of sorrow"" because these perfumed flowers lose their brightness during the day time and has a significance in Bengali Culture and are called Shiuli or Night Jasmine....hence that's why the heroine the female protagonist is named Shuili beacuse of her fondness for these flowers....where in one scene she's seen collecting them from the ground!!....and also these flowers bring her out from her Comatose state when Dan realises her love for these flowers....he collects them and leave them on the table beside her bed!!...and In the end when she passes away...Shuili's Mom when prior relocating to Trichur hand over that Plant of Night Jasmine or Shuili to Dan!!... It's a journey of Varun as an actor in every true sense of the word...and also a journey of Dan the Protagonist in the flick...it's journey of a viewer as well.... Dan is a frivolous nerd who doesn't get along well with any of his colleagues in the hotel industry where he is a Trainee...except for Shuili..who happens to fall down from the terrace on a new years eve...prior muttering three words "'where is Dan??""....he starts visiting her...talking to her in her Comatose state....those scenes will move u completely....playing the right chords of ur sentiments...will make u teary eyed...will make u giggle also.... Those scenes of Dan spent in the hospital is the soul of the whole movie!! Shoojit Sircar in his previous flicks made me giggled...made me mad laughing out loudly...be it Vicky Donor or be it Piku!!....But in October I was left completely drenched in emotions in this month of Autumn...choked up and numbed.... One Movie I Just Wished It Never Ended Crux??... U can't miss this flick for anything in the world!!!

Not A Sound

Lies in the state of Michigan..amidst long pine trees...cliffs and streams is a small yet beautiful..quaint sleepy town known as Mathias.......and there in the secluded deep woods is a cabin where the protagonist is leading her life reclusively...paddle board surfing and kiaking is what plays an integral part of this enchanting and intriguing tale of mystery...also in the life of Amelia...a nurse...the protaganist who lost everything in her accident she was so passionate about....her career...her hubby...and her step daughter... Two Years back she was a nurse assisting in Emergencies and Crime Scene Investigations....also in domestic violence cases she was adamant in sending the culprits to jail....once while attending to Stacey who was brutally beaten and raped by her estranged husband..Amelia surely sent her husband to jail...so when escorting Stacey to her car a speeding car with screeching tyres rammed into them killing Stacy instantly and brutally injuring Amelia....who after regaining consciousness lost her hearing ability...resulting in heavy drinking and depression...that made her lose everything... Now recouping she wants to start afresh and finds a job for herself...she loves her space in her airy cabin with large glass windows that faces the river upfront....occasionally where she enjoys kayaking and paddle surf boarding with her soul mate...her guarding angel...the hero of the novel who is a service dog..Stitch...who is trained for people like her with hearing disabilities..who are hearing impaired!! So one fine crisp sunny moring along with Stitch when she was paddle boarding she happens to come across a body afloat...when coming closer...Amelia is startled by her discovery...it's her nursing friend her colleague whom she lost touch with...naked..lying deserted cold murdered...she calls Nine One One immediately...as she was instructed to call in emergency...after calling she's confused whether the call went unanswered or she just blurted out everythinge before the called was picked up...twice she repeated and disconnected.... The story picks up from here....how she investigates....the gadgetry that is for her help....like for an Alarm she gets vibrations on her bed....on her fone when whe picks up the call....she gets text massages as to what the other person is saying on the other side of the fone....her landline and the cel fone has the light blinking for an upcoming call....then there's Stitch for her command...he's trained to assist...they are called Service Dogs!! Every minute detail is elaborated beautifully and realistically that u get lost in the surroundings of Amelia's life... Those descriptions of the night especially when she thinks there's somebody out there watching over her...and in the climax scene when actually the Antagonist enters her house...how she escapes and then caught in the woods....her fight for life....Will leave u exasperated and craving for more.. Yes will leave u shivering!! Heather Gudenkauf's ""Not A Sound"" will be among those few assorted novels in my collection that I won't mind reading it again and again!!...though knowing the climax....it's always about those special characters and moments in a novel which makes it so especial and worth a read a second time....it's always about the authors that take the readers to an imaginary world...and how they do it...the way they do it that what makes them so especial..... As per the title goes the author herself is a hearing impaired just like Amelia the strong character she has created and woven a terrific tale of mystery and suspense which revolves around her silence...that's why ""Not A Sound""....

O! Raisen...A Scenic Drive

Oranges were blooming in the grove... And over the hills i just drove! ..
All looked so surreal..so captivating!
Also green fields were fascinating!
The work was done...
My efforts not in vain...
Ah!.. A marvelous trip to Raisen!
O! for nature i have this crush!
I took my time..yes I didn't rush!
Not to forget the Kheer i had...
Though Saima cooks a lot better!
Still it wasn't that bad...
Mana Dhabha and all that hype!
Sorry it's not my type!

Epilogue

About The poetic Me...
Poetic by nature and in passion
A heart full of compassion Music...Culture and Art
Yes Aesthetics!..an integral part!
""Love making memories""
A term for photography I say!
Like music and poetry...
It also makes my heart sway!!
You may ask...
What makes my soul a philanderer?!
It's romaticising with nature..
When soul and I a wanderer!

Broken

Is that a falling star?
Or a piece of a shattered heart?
How can one make a wish then?

Is that a volcano?
Or an anger building up?
How can one melt then?

Is that a cracked soil?
Or the tears gone dry?
How can one smile then?

Broken!!!....
Then... How can one love again? (poeticbunny... 16/2/17)
