 When I first saw the poster in a website, I thought, yet another train heist Read the cast list; Dharmendra and Vinay Pathak sounded good, but who the hell was this Neil Nitin Mukesh and Rimi Sen….isnt she the one who had to paint her house in ridiculously tiny clothes in Dhoom? I did not know what to expect; was this another B grader from bollywood or it really had some dum? But with the Bling bling posters which focused on a jarring blue or yellow or a pair of red tinted glasses and I knew, this flick had to be stylish And what a flick it was! I watched the movie recently carefully avoiding all reviews…and I can say….i was entertained! It works on a lot of levels, that awesome 70s credits (it would look passé in a 70s movie, but here it looks highly stylish!), the soundtrack to which a friend drives his car upside down (thalai kkeezha ottuvan!!!), a calm and restrained Dharmendra (I just hope they use him as an alternative to Big B who has gone from bad to worse of late), a slightly rotund but brilliant Vinay Pathak and Zakir Hussain; is outstanding! (the way he goes “ey beauty parlour, sambal isko!!!...lol!!!)...and who the hell is that guy???...That leading man…Neil Mukesh Apparently he is the grandson of the legendary Mukesh and thank god he decided not to wield the microphone like his grand dad…We would have been robbed of such gorgeous eye candy. Seriously, it could have been Johnny Gorgeous (if the word wasn’t so girly!). If you thought this was a review (and now the movie has been much reviewed!), you might be disappointed because I took some time and this space out on my blog just to drool over this chap…who just might be the sexiest thing to have hit Bollywood of late (which is after Milind Soman…chiseled!...and that was long long ago) Yeah sure he does look a bit like those chocolate boys, but this one’s dark chocolate…wicked aint it?! And what with khandani crap that Bollywood keeps dishing out; the likes of Fardeen i-got-too-fat Khan, Zayed can’t-act-to-save-my-life Khan, Ranbir Kapoor (he looks more roman than punju…seriously he is way too chikna!)….even Hrithik Roshan, yeah that man would have been burning hot but for his nostrils!...Yeah Mukesh jr here too has that slight resemblance to Hrithik thanks to his nostrils, but they’re more subtle here and don’t bother you too much ;) But this god is leaner and meaner…in the first half I thought this guy can’t act…or may be can’t act with another director, but in the second half (*Spoiler* “Aap Shardul ke paas kyun nahi gaye???”) this dark chocolate gets yummier :D I cant believe I could drool at a guy in a shirt with a large collar and a sleeveless sweater!...or in a red shirt (especially when he thinks most of his shirt buttons are pretty useless…not that am complaining!!!) or a crazy hair do which belongs more to the early 90s era aka the ‘kraapu thalai’...and did I mention that 'kadukan'...sesky! P.S: Verdict, go watch this movie if you want some class!...BTW that bludy no good channel Zoom that my sis is fond of ruined it for me by almost giving away the ending P.S.S: I have drooled enough now much to the chagrin of someone and I am going to need all of Chennai’s fire department’s help to put out the fire raging in someone’s tummy :D Song On: JG Mood: Good!

  BP!AKA bandha parties :) Or I’d rather put it attention seekers or people who know best to market themselves ;) And when these guys blow their trumpets, they sure do look desperate to tell the world about their capabilities, but a simple minded person (read moron) would only think they are trying to write a simple entry in their blog. No offence meant….this is after all one egotistic world! And why do that in blogsville, are you kidding me…this whole space is about yourself and how much louder you are than another person! For instance ‘saying sitting in my living room watching TV’ might make you sound like a depressed Bridget Jones outweighing Usilamani gobbling up buckets of Ben and Jerry’s But picture this…’sitting in my living room wearing my halter neck brown T with my diet coke with the TV playing some random channel’ That sure sounds like a babe…what more, ‘random channel’ would mean, you are probably not interested in the TV at all…may be you are with someone…may be you are…..okay lets not get to that :P So you get the idea right? So next time put in references about your work (only if non IT esp if you head your concern, please do brag about it at every chance…this is the single most important thing!), the car you drive (if a sedan…please specify…saloon…never mind), your sprawling home, your PG degree/course (read MBA) even if it is from the University of Jhumri Talayya, your little doggy (if you named him Mani, at least change it to Max in your blog!...And strictly no poms…German Shepherd and Labs; okay) References to your friends in a post…please use stylishly shortened names…Jennifer becomes Jen, Subramanian becomes Subra (hehehe), Divya becomes Di… And the IT chaps; every onsite trip, no matter how ridiculously short, must be preceded by a bye-bye mail (it’s a different story that you would by all means continue blogging when overseas..) and hey don’t forget to update your profile! Spend some time on your profile, sometimes giving away as little information as possible might be cool and yo…but that might really turn off and drive away new bees So put in some bits and pieces about yourself Music; A.R.Rahman is a must…but other than that, make sure you have a lot of firang names. And for guys, please don’t mention boyzone and backstreet boys…it gives a completely different meaning! Ditto for movies You might think ‘Tiramisu’ is a Jap Lad, but just add it to your list of favorite ice creams….trust me; it works! And any dish that sounds vaguely continental So next time you post….remember, there are a hundred eyes that are watching your space, trying to idolize you….and every post is your chance to do just that P.S: The easiest way might be to betray such secrets, the way I did…. ;) P.P.S: I am no exception to this rule…no one is :D (the profile rule I mean) But I noticed that some spaces over did it….hehehe….couldn’t resist mate! (the content before the 'profile rule')...Seriously, when will I learn? ;) Song On: Move Your Body (Johnny Gaddar) Mood: Wicked! Labels: Oor Vambu
I do....
 There were days when I used to think the board exams were the toughest thing on earth and once you cleared them, your life was pretty much easy…and then I found out the truth about driving a car When I thought colleges had devious seniors (who were mostly handsome too!), stupid profs who looked and sounded a lot like ‘Vennira Adai’ Moorthy (and there were also days I thought it was ‘Veneer’ aadai Moorthy, but that was before I heard of the film), girls wearing the trendiest of outfits and a hostel that looked nothing less than a resort (except for the stupid profs part, reality was very much different!) When I thought office was a place I would have to slog, then I heard about ‘Bench’ When I was younger than every actress, model, VJ on TV and every hunk that gets introduced in a movie was elder than me so that I could comfortably drool ;) (that's just for the hunks...duh!) and then I turned 25 When kids of friend’s aunts and sisters called me Akka and then my sis had a baby and I became aunty overnight! :( When I saw my sister, friends, cousins…married and living ‘happily’ and was absolutely horrified by the fact that it would be me soon….and then Nandoo happened, I am not sure if I am happy yet :P When I thought Chennai was the one glorified kuppam…and now I am waiting for my transfer orders to Chennai…boo hoo!!! P.S: No we DID NOT meet via blogsville… P.P.S: Not college sweethearts either :P Oye...updated it...how people misread! Labels: Moi
