When Dreams turn into Reality

First of all i would like to thank all the people who actually read the post below & gave me their valuable inputs. I won't say that i am completely over that phase but i am definitely better than what i was a day or two back. :)

Just when i was not expecting anything gr8 from this weekend, my best friend calls me up to ask me if i would like to watch Inception & i am glad that i said a yes. Despite the bad weather, i braved the heavy rains and went all the way to Sion to watch Inception & man what a movie it was! If i had anything to say about it then i would only say two words "Freakin Awesome". Chistopher Nolan has proved it yet again that he belongs to the best league of directors in Hollywood.

The man who has directed movies like 'The Prestige' & 'The Dark Knight' puts you in a tizzy as u traverse the path between dreams & reality....The performances and the cinematography are riveting & mind boggling. I would give a 5/5 to this movie & it is absolutely recommended to those who have love movies that make you think.

P.S. My Saturday ended on an apt note with a trip to the salon where i pampered myself followed by a trip to the mall, got a new bag & a few accessories! :P I still have the whole of Sunday to go but i just couldn't stop myself from writing this post. So how did your weekend go?

Kab Jaayega Bey!?

Since today was a holiday here due to "Gudi Padwa" (the Maharashtrian New Year), i decided to go for a movie with my parents. The best bet out of all the movies running in the theatres was "Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?". So off we went to PVR Cinemas to watch the situational comedy which coincidentally has also been compared to the yesteryear comedies made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

To start with, its been long since i saw a genuinely good and funny movie....i am totally done with the brainless comedies like Golmaal, All the Best etc! Trust me guys i just don't get such movies, they are just so dumb.....for me comedy is what we got to see in movies like "Hera Pheri" which is one of my all time favourites, or say "Chupke Chupke", the classic comedy starring Dharmendra & Amitabh Bachchan.

Anyways, coming back to this movie....its a short 2 hr movie without too many songs/naach gaana. Its about a guest (Paresh Rawal) who comes to stay at Ajay Devgan & Konkona's place and refuses to leave. Since the plot revolves around these 3 central characters, it saves us from all the confusion which is the usual thing in today's comedy movies with an unusually huge ensemble cast. Its a clean movie which is not just pure comedy but also has a social message to it.

All said and done i think this movie belongs to Paresh Rawal and he has proved it once again that he is a pure genius!! He is one person who can play any character with ease.....one can clearly identify with the pain that Ajay & Konkona go through while taking care of their guest. I know there cannot be anything extra ordinary in a comedy film but this movie get's a 3/5 from me coz its simple, short & sweet. Worth a watch i'd say! And have a gr8 week ahead!! :)

The "Dostana" Special

Hi people! So wassup with all of u? What did you do on this weekend? This weekend was a little different for me coz my guy wasn't around. :( He has gone to Goa with two of his friends. So i decided to see Dostana with a friend of mine today. In fact i just came back sometime ago. The movie was good but the only thing that i dint like was the climax. I mean it was completely unexpected and uncalled for! Anyways, i'll not spoil the fun by telling the story here. Most of u must be already aware that this movie has a gay theme, and i must admit there were some really funny rib-tickling moments in there. The songs are ok, my favorites are Desi Girl, Jaane Kyun and Khabar Nahin. The item song done by Shilpa Shetty is strictly ok, i feel she has looked hotter than this before even though she has exposed a lot in this song. Priyanka looks good most of the times, Abhishek is ok (I am not an Abhishek fan so i can't say more than this), and last but certainly not the least is John Abraham!! The only word for him is "HOT"!!

I mean he has never looked so hot.......he can now be called the new Greek god of Bollywood. No wonder he has been voted as one of the top 25 sexiest men in the world. Kiron Ker is good as always, and there is an interesting cameo too! Don't ask me who it is, better watch it yourself. :) My rating to this movie is 3.5/5. I wanted to give it a 4 but since i dint like the climax i had to cut that 0.5. So watch it to have a good time.....and please don't expect an impressive storyline coz the USP of Karan Johar lies in making larger than life movies and not realistic cinema. And for those of u who have already watched it, lemme know how it was??

Back from Exile

Sorry for being away from the blog world :( But things jus dint seem b becoming alright. As if losing my mobile was not enuff!! I guess losing my mobile was jus the tip of the iceberg.....there was more in store for me. After coming in terms with my loss......i got a duplicate sim card, which took 3 days to get activated! Usually it takes jus 1 day....but i guess i was jus plain unlucky! Now things don't end here....i bought a sexy Sony Ericsson clamshell mobile, only to realise tht it had a manufacturing defect! The bluetooth was not working. So i went back to the store only to hear tht they cant replace it coz i returned it the next day. Any crap yaar....anyways after shouting my lungs out the guy finally relented and agreed to replace the handset only if an authorized Sony Ericsson Service Centre certifies tht this is indeed a defective piece. And thankfully things worked out for me...and i got a new mobile, the best out of the lot of mobiles tht the store had. I got a Moto Razr2 V8.

I mus admit i fell for the looks.....and i like it after using it for 2days. :) And jus when i was thinking tht my bad period has ended, i was engulfed by viral fever! :( I hav been down with viral from yesterday. I also went to see "Bachna Ae Hasino" with my guy....despite havin fever. I know all of u will say tht it was a stupid decision! But the temperature was not tht high when i went to see the movie....It only intensified in the evening and jus refused to go below 104! :(


But i did enjoy the lunch n the movie with my guy. The movie is good and hopefully shud pull Yashraj Films out of the lull tht they hav been into from quite a while. Ranbir looks hot in the movie. And amongst the girls, it has to b Bipasha Basu! She looks smoking hot in the movie. I knw i m straight but seriously she can make any girl turn green with envy. The songs are good, my favs being 'Khuda Jaane' and the title track. Story is fine nothing great, but i felt the presentation was good. And so was the starcast, everybody has played their roles well! So ppl who hav watched the movie lemme knw how did u find it.

Warning: Ppl who don't like emotional stuff will not like the 2nd half of the movie. :)

Back to My Usual Self!

Now how long cud i b in a state of mourning (for my mobile theft) :-/ Life goes on and i m nobody to stop it from moving. Yeah now u guys mus b thinking tht Ria has gone mad, she's behaving as if somebody close to her recently passed away! But thats how deeply i feel for my most coveted belongings. :-( Alas, nothin much can b done abt such things in life. And like Keshi said, i shud b happy tht i atleast lost something tht can b replaced. So here i m makin a list of most probable mobiles tht i can go for. The criteria is:

1. It has to b a camera phone of atleast 3.2 MP. (coz my previous one was a 2MP)
2. It has to hav a music player and FM radio. (the music freak tht i m!)
3. Bluetooth is a must. (how else will i transfer songs, wallpapers, ringtones...etc)
4. Last but not the least it shudn't b bulky. (i hate big mobiles!)

So please go ahead and suggest me some nice models which fit the bill. :-)


And now coming to the weekend tht was the last one b4 i resumed office. My guy tried his best to cheer me up coz he dint want to see a gloomy Ria. Isnt he a sweetheart!? He definitely is coz he succeeded in makin me feel better than wht i was. :-D We had a very nice lunch at an Italian restaurant. We shared a Fiery Pepper Chicken Sizzler and a Chicken n Mushroom Pasta in white sauce. Yummy! Then we went on to see "Singh is Kinng". Wht to say abt the movie.....except tht it is definitely recommended. :-) Its a full of funny moments sprinkled across the movie. But lemme warn u abt one thing, plz dont forget to leave ur brains behind coz if u try to find a storyline, u will b disappointed for sure! So go with a light head and enjoy laughing ur lungs out (coz i did)! Katrina as always looks pretty in the movie, Sonu Sood has got a nice role too. And no points for guessing who the movie belongs to; Akshay Kumar. He is the only guy in the industry who can give all the Khans a run for their money! He's awesome and really cute as Happy Singh, a typical sardar.....who goofs up every so often and has a heart of gold. :-) So do watch it and lemme knw hw did u find it.

The Review of The "Tashan"

So here comes the 2nd day review of the much awaited YRF movie "Tashan". I don't really know what genre to put this movie in.... I guess its best to say that it truly is "The Desi Masala, The Inglish Ishtyle"!! I dont' want to reveal the plot so i will just give you all a brief overview of the movie since it's released just a day back. Everybody has played there role well, if u ask me i would have to say Akshay Kumar has really done a good job as "Bachhan Pandey" (its a treat to watch him). Saif plays his own cool self as "Jimmy Cliff", I personally dint like his look in Tashan but he does manage to look hot in quite a few scenes. Anil Kapoor tickles your funny bone with his Hinglish as "Bhaiyya ji"....which can actually spoil ur English!! And last but the least.....Kareena Kapoor plays a good gurl turned into a Bitch as Pooja Singh. She has played her role well too.....but sorry to disappoint you guys her size zero avatar jus sucks!! And if u r expecting her to emerge out of the sea ala Halle Berry (Die Another Day) in a bikini....the scene lasts for hardly 5 seconds and doesn't impress at all! For that matter i cudn't even hear a single whistle in the theatre....Really feel sad for Kareena, all this hard work to become Size Zero seems to hav gone waste. But i think she will do better as an FTV model coz she sure qualifies as one now! ;) So all in all my rating for this movie would be average, where the first half was gripping and fast paced, the 2nd half at the same time was slow and sluggish. Music, if u ask me my personal favorites are "Dil Haara Re", "Dil Dance Maare" (a funny song with nice choreography) and the title track (a very peppy and catchy number). So do watch it and let me know ur remarks. :)

Movie Review: Race

Where shud i start from....Abbas Mustan have done it again! A typical Abbas Mustan movie is all i can say about Race.....with lots of twists, action, style and last but not the least 'Attitude'. Gurls who love Saif will love this movie coz he's lukin absolutely HOT!! And no need for the men to sulk either coz there's plenty of eye candy for them as well in the form of Bipasha, Katrina & Sameera (in decreasing order of sexiness). I found the movie quite gripping and it was difficult to guess what is goin to happen next. The screenplay is good, although some unnecessary songs cud have been easily avoided. I liked two songs i.e. 'Pehli nazar mein' (which is apparently a copy of an Indonesian song) & 'Race sanson ki' (the title track). I found the script quite original although i did read in the papers a day or two back that its a rip-off of an english movie....I am not too much of an English movie buff so i wudnt know!! :D So, my final take is that Race is definitely worth a one time watch.....i wudnt recommend it for a second time coz the genre of the movie is such that u cant see it again!

Review - 10,000 B.C

Caught with this movie last weekend.Frankly speaking i din't have too many expectations from this movie,all i had in mind was that it must be about life in those times and yeah i knew that there will be plenty of special effects coz those huge mammoths cud b seen every so often in the trailers on tv.The movie talks about the journey of the central character; D'leh to get the person, Everlet who he loves so dearly.She is captured by pirates and the whole movie circles around the journey which encompasses all kinds of terrains starting from land covered in snow to desert....at the end of the movie the one thing that baffled everybody was why was the movie called 10,000 B.C coz at the end of the day its a lovestory!!But yeah the only thing tht was different was the whole setup and the costumes.So all in all i really dunno if i shud recommend this movie or not.But one thing tht i quite liked was the special effects.So if there's no other movie to watch one can see this movie but i personally wudn't like to watch it again.

Final Verdict: Ok for a one time watch.
