Cricket is Back!!!
20-20 is here.And thank god some sensible Cricket Presentation is here. The forgetful days of the morose presentation from Set Max of ICC events, the days of Dravid’s and Chappel’s fanatic experiments, and most importantly India loosing are over, for sometime atleast.
Om Shanti Om’s Old Time-y Music
Movies, as Akira Kurosawa observed with such penetrating simplicity in his book Something Like An Autobiography, are not just a visual medium – they’re an audio-visual one. To ignore one is to harm the other.
Kutting Koffee Awards 2007
This Sunday happened to be the finale of Koffee with Karan, Season 2. Though I found the second installment of Karan’s Koffee to be a lot more masaladar when compared to the previous season but with a disappointing feeling in my heart, I have to say the finale just didn’t do it for me.
The so-called judges on Koffee Awards 2007 were either diplomatic or biased or downright butt waxing, though I felt VJ Cyrus did his best to be innovative but was repeatedly snubbed aside by the likes of Maliaka Khan Arora and fashion designer, Rohit Bal (Is he really Indian?).
Sting Operations Make Me Cringe
To me most Indian news channels are nothing but a business hub with almost every bit of their content influenced by sponsor’s advertisements, money making SMS polls, non-conclusive discussions, invented news at its best and priority towards political affiliations. But what takes the cake in this malicious battle of TRPs, is the so-called revolutionary invention, “Sting Operation”.
Really sting operations make me cringe; especially the ones done by Indian News Channels, all under the pretense of investigative journalism. Right from the very first one I had heard of – you know, the (in) famous, casting couch operation targeting Bollywood personalities. Rajat Sharma and his gang of super dud morons at India TV used cheap tactics in order to stand out in the overly- crowded television industry. Did you know that India TV’s market share jumped from 4-6 per cent to 10 per cent when this particular sting operation was aired.
And now we have this.
Review RGV Ki Aag: Sort off Bukwaas
Yes…Yes…yes, I went for Ramu’s re-vamped version of yester-years cult flick, Sholay. Despite the "red" bold warnings flashing on my tele-screen, despite the solid "black" critical reviews across all daily tabloids and despite humble "blue" pleads from family and friends - but as they say, a Bollywood maniac is gotto do…what a Bollywood maniac is gotto do.
