Heylo everyone :-),
I can't say sorry enough to have been AWOL with no clue watsoever :), but suffice it to say I have been on a very tight case and when I had free time, I had to choose between pre-loading work, sleep, do masti or write blog and more often than not, doing masti hit the right note, you know.
But, after having watched two of the most ossum movies [Chak De and Transformers], it was about time I repented my bad ways :-).
Being a devout Indian :P, I would start with Chak De and Transformers will be allowed to follow suit here. Well, Chak De is essentially the real-life story of Mir Negi who was wrongly reviled as a traitor after India lost the 1982 Asian Games hockey final to Pakistan 7-1 [Negi, the goalkeeper was touted to have taken 1 lac per goal], and then how redemption comes in the form of Negi first coaching Indian men to Asian games gold and then Indian women's team to Afro-asian games' gold medal. In the movie, Negi gets replaced by Shahrukh's Kabir Khan, an intense persona, who should have been a broken man by the time the movie clocks quarter of an hour, but instead is somebody ready to take on the world in its own backyard. SRK puts in another peach of a brooding performance not quite unlike his Swades turn, he simply takes away cheese, cake and the turnpike. Also, some of the girls in the team are actual hockey players and that's a compliment to Shimit Amin's direction [his debut being Ab tak Chappan], this guy really knows how to get his muses working, and then quite some. Ably aided by some nice songs and background score, Chak De makes no pretenses to where it is headed, yet a la Miracle, makes you feel good like nothing else. Don't miss it :-).
Now, now lets take upon Transformers. Now, this is a cross between the sci-fi and comic genres, and the world is a better place for it, trust me :-). Transformers started off as Hasbro toys [I want some though :(], became comics, and then cartoons and now Spielberg under the able direction of Michael Bay has brought to life an amazing spectacle, a worthy addition to Spielberg's legend. Again, in its true elements, its just a Good vs. Evil story, where two sets of NBEs [Non-biological Extraterrestrials] from the planet Cybertron descend on earth to fight their ultimate battle and an awesome Shia and the ravishing Megan [grow up fast, lassy :-)] find themselves at the center of the battle. Inspite of the awe-inspiring CGI [this movie is not worth watching at home, trust me, its worth the money], Michael Bay's success lies in keeping the movie humane, you could take the robots out and could still thoda-sa connect to it types :). And with a rousing background score, its a roller-coaster ride and by the time you sense the credits are about to roll, you wonder is it not too early to finish this saga ? I can assure you Transformers 2 is not far behind :-).
Cya then, and hope you had an ossum weekend as well !!
