Salman's Dabanng | review

Got my hands on a Dabanng DVD this weekend. Popped it in and it didn't pooped at all :-)



Now this would be one of the very few moments and very likely to be the only one instance of it when I am willing to appreciate Mr. Khan without any regrets. No offenses to Salman khan fans but he has been in the bottom 10 percentile of my list. Mostly because of the non-sense acts of hopping around without a sense of  story at all that characterizes most of Salman flicks. Matter of taste!

In this one as well, there is a characteristic, madness that is sole forte of Sallu baba but this time managed to bring a smile each time. An inspector on a sort of mission impossible, starts to sing on the tune of a bandit's cellphone while the scripted momentary ceasefire allowed the dueling both enough time for the lawmaker to ask the bandit to forward the tone! Eh! I was about to shut it down the very moment. But the the special effects that were more realistic, almost within the boundaries of physical laws and great particle effects (if we ignore the impulsive force of Mr. Panday's muscles)  made me to adhere to the chair a bit more.

Bit by bit, the movie finally ended with numerous instances of what trademarked crazy Panday's style and forced me to smile, not out of sheer wit of the situation but due to the whole volleys of PJs that just kept coming.

Well, to conclude, I was well entertained and enjoyed the SFX effects throughout. Not to mention the beautiful portrayal of Mrs Pandey (Sonakshi) as an assertive, strong and drop dead attractive in that rural backdrop. A perfect match for the like of Mr. Chulbul Pandey.

"Chulbul". One of a kind name for the hottest star of the movie acts as another ingredient of entertainment here amongst many. Not to mention his brother "Makhhi" :-)

From the special effects, I am pretty sure Bollywood will soon compete the west. Let us see what they bring forth next.

Enjoy the hurdanng@Dabanng!

Weekend Ho!

At last! much awaited weekend is here and this time I have decided to take the weekend off!
By weekend off I mean that I am not going to study, research or so anything of that sort that I used to do earlier...just surf and sloth and of course attend to my online diary here.

So, sleeping eating and add some well done workout to compensate for Aloo Parathas. That is what that day today was.

So that's most of it.

See ya round because I have some serious discussions to do with you all. Nighty!
