The only reason I watched this film was because of Emma Watson. She didn't disappoint me. How can anyone be so perfect? Though I hated the kiss in the end because the man who should kiss Emma Watson has to be a perfect guy even if it for acting purposes, except that everything was good.  The story is simple, something which we have we have read and seen before. The good thing is that the Director and Writer have remained mostly true to the original story. The only thing that bothered me while watching the film were too long musical songs. There is a song on Gaston, the antagonist, where his best friend his praising him to lift his spirits and it kind of gets too long after a while. It was entertaining in the beginning but drags after a while. I loved the character of Gaston, played by Luke Evans marvelously, and provides the very much required comic relief in the otherwise heavily romantic film. Girls will love this film because the film survives on the ancient story of r...

My bhabhi likes this film a lot and really really forced me to watch this film. I had it on my system and I was planning to watch it for a long time. I missed watching it in the theater and being a big fan of Benedict Cumberbatch I wanted to watch it on the big screen. The film again suffers from the same problem that many other films suffer from - characterization. The film focuses too much on the lead character that other characters have literally no role in the film whatsoever. They have forgettable lines and no other character except that of Doctor strange has been developed wisely. The villain Kaecillius seems caricaturish and you don't feel thrills watching him enter or fight. He looks like he can be easily defeated. Frankly, he looks like one of the henchmen of the main villain but not the main villain. Doctor Strange defeats him in his first fight with him when even Doctor's powers have not been fully developed while Kaecillius does not just have more powers,...

I picked this book randomly. I love the name of the book. The story of the author Grant Cardone is very interesting. He was a drug addict till he was 25 and then came his defining moment when he decided to change his life for good and what a comeback he has made. The best book about becoming a rich can come from a person who has done it all by himself. Grant Cardone is one such dude. I follow him on twitter now and I have read all the books written by him by. I wanted to review this book for a long time and finally, i have decided to review and post my opinions about it. The book has opened my minds to the powers of social media. I don't do much of twitter, facebook or Instagram and I never found the need for it. He showed me that one has to move with the speed of the world to become rich in the contemporary world. I have read a lot of books on becoming rich as my prime aim has changed recently to becoming rich from filmmaking. I can do filmmaking only when I can become rich ...

I first met Kamlesh in 2010 and it is very important for me to write about him because he has been a tremendous influence in my life during my prolonged stay in Mumbai. I was struggling at the time when we met as I was new in the film industry and I was working in one film where officially I was production assistant but later I was thankfully burdened with responsibilities of an assistant director and art director too. Not that I was given those responsibilities but I took those responsibilities because I just wanted to work as much as I can on sets and understand filmmaking in a better manner. I had the best time of my life working on that film and I met some of the good people there who became my good friends later. One of them, and most important of them was Kamlesh. Kamlesh’s full name is Kamlesh Puri Goswami and he is a Marwari. He can speak four languages fluently- Marwari, Gujarati, Marathi and Hindi, and now he speaks English as well. He is good at accounting by birth ...

I needed to have a review of a Rajnikanth's film on my blog, it was a necessity. I chose Baasha because it going to released again soon, a digitally remastered version of it. Baasha was the film which gave Rajni's stardom new heights. He became sort of a Demi god after this film. It was a phenomenal blockbuster and no one had seen such euphoria before. Frankly, since i am not a south Indian person so i don't find any special in Rajni's acting. I don't even find his film good or excellent. They are entertaining but then that's that. But what impact's one thinking is the craze of people towards Rajni. Baasha was developed in Rajni's mind when he was working with Amitabh Bachchan's film 'Hum'. He took a part of the film's undeveloped storyline and developed it according to his own culture and thinking. I watched Baasha two years back on Youtube. I wanted to watch it earlier but I couldn't find any copy of it with subtitles....

The elder brother owns Adidas, and the younger brother owns Puma. It is a wonder that they started two companies separately and son both company turned to be one of the best brands of the world. Well, I started with the Tivia to build your interest into the article. I read this book few days back and i immediately wanted to write the review of this book but then procrastination took over and i didn't write any blog for few days. It was the the first thing that i wanted to put on my blog because i know many of you people don't even know about it. The journey of Phil Knight and is nothing less than amazing. Frankly, I used to think that NIKE was a very old brand and it's owner might have died till now leaving his abundance of wealth to his grand kids. I never tried to know about it but it came on a suggesti...
