Peepli Live..........

Every year bollywood comes with movies that are based on rural india. Peepli live is also one of them but what distinguish it from others is the script of  the movie.Peepli is the directorial debut of journalist turned director Anusha Rizwi,and production of none other than the versatile actor Aamir khan with UTV Motion Pictures.
Peepli talks about various serious issues of current India.From Farmer's suicide to corrupt politicians.From Current state of journalism in india to rising prices of commodities.Every year many farmers are loosing their lands and opting to become a labor in the great shining india due to debt of bank which they got against their lands.And due to non payment of bank loans they are forced to auction their land to repay the bank loan.Peepli Live is a story which covers all these burning issues in India.
Peepli starts with Nathu (Omkar das)and Budhiya(Raghuvir yadav) who had taken a loan against their land but they were not able to repay that money back to bank and they loose their land .This land was the only source of the livelihood of the family.They asked for help from the local politician but instead of helping them he suggested them to go for suicide because after suicide their family will get one lakh rupee.Nathu decided that he will commit suicide for the wellness of the family and this is the point from where the luck changed for them.A local Newspaper published this news that Nathu will commit suicide and whole media world came to peepli for coverage of suicide because this news will surely give them good TRPs.This media coverage turned the whole village into Limelight and every media house was trying to encash this event by sensationalise the whole issue.The local journalist who actually finds the issue became puppet of the big media houses.
Peepli Live shows the reality behind media houses, politicians, bureaucrats and their apathetic approach towards problems.And the script is written in a such a manner that it makes the audience laugh at every point of the movie.
India promotes itself as one of the fastest growing economies in the world, but the film shows the miserable condition of farmers who continue to end their lives after living in extreme poverty.
Anusha Rizwi who is a debutant director has written a very good script and executed the tremendous script into a movie very effectively.The movie enlightens the viewers about the real situation of farmers in rural india.
All the actors have played their characters in the movie in a tremendous manner.Anusha has mixed  the miseries of farmers and the political and media reactions very well in the movie.This makes Peepli Live a must watch movie.

सूरज की पहली किरण के साथ हुआ धमाका ....

आज सुबह सूरज अपने पहली किरण के साथ अपनी लालिमा तो लाया ही था , लेकिन हमारे हॉस्टल के लिए ये सुबह एक धमाके के साथ ही शुरू हुयी l धमाका भी ऐसा वैसा नहीं था , धमाका काफी तगड़ा था l आज शुक्रवार होने का कारण हमारी क्लास सुबह सवा नौ बजे से ही थी इसलिए  मैं भी सुबह 8 बजे के आस पास ही उठ गया था , तो हमेशा की तरह ब्रश कर के मैं नाश्ते की तरफ बढ़ गया l नाश्ता कर के जब मैं तकरीबन 20 मिनट के बाद अपने कमरे की तरफ आ रहा था की 2 दोस्तों ने मुझे इशारा किया की चुप चाप आना l मैंने सोचा साले सुबह सुबह पागल हो गए है लगता है, पता नहीं कैसे इशारे किये जा रहे हैं l फिर मैं जैसे ही कमरे के करीब पंहुचा तो सारा माजरा खुद ब खुद मेरे सामने आ गया , मेरे कमरा का दरवाज़ा खुला पड़ा था और अन्दर मेरे बैग्स ,और बेड बॉक्स की तलाशी चल रही थी l ये सब की तरफ नज़र पड़ते ही मेरे सामने सारी गुत्थी सुलझती चली गयी l मुझे पता चल चूका था की मेरे कमरे की तलाशी किसी खास कारण से की जा रही है l खैर भगवान का शुक्र था  और बड़ों की दुआएं आज के दिन काम आ ही गयी और मेरे कमरे से किसी भी प्रकार का अवांछनीय तत्त्व किसी भी अवस्था मे नहीं पाया गया l खुद के लिए ख़ुशी तो काफी हुयी लेकिन थोड़ी देर बाद जब अपने कुछ दोस्तों के बारे मे पता चला तो दुःख भी काफी हुआ l हमने सोचा चलो मामला सुलझ जायेगा , लेकिन ये कुछ ज्यादा ही उलझ गया l  उम्मीद है की सब कुछ जल्द ही ठीक हो जायेगा और दिनचर्या जल्दी ही सामान्य हो जाएगी l इसी पेशो पेश मे सारा दिन गुज़र गया l हर तरफ इसी घटनाक्रम को लेकर चारो तरफ चर्चाओं का बाज़ार गर्म रहा l खैर शाम को नॉएडा का एक चक्कर घूम आये तो मन भी थोडा शांत हुआ l और अब नींद की आगोश मे जाने की तैयारी है , तो इन्ही शब्दों के साथ निंद्रा की छाँव की तरफ बढ़ता हूँ l अगले पोस्ट का करिए इन्तेजार l
शुभ रात्रि lllll

One Upon a Time in Mumbaai....

Once upon a time in mumbaai , as the name suggest itself it is a story of mumbai 3 decades back.The movie talks about the rise of two gangster Sultan Mirza (Ajay Devgan) and Shoaib khan (Imran Hashmi). one who feared mumbai at that time and one who is fearing it even today.Movie is directed by Milan lutharia and produced by Ekta kapoor.
The character of both the Gangsters are inspired by Haji mastaan and Dawood Ibrahim.One was ethical and other was reckless. Sultan started as a labour and grew up as a gangster by doing the smuggling from different countries but never smuggled things which were against his conscience. He wanted mumbai a clean place as he loved the city very much .
The other is shoaib who grew up in the time when every child grew thinking about being sultan mirza. He was very ambitious and was ready to do anything to be a gangster.He was son of a police officer but has no inclination towards the law. As he grows up he makes his way to Sultan’s gang and proves himself good enough to go up the ladder fast. However his reckless ambitions soon outgrew Sultan and he decided to take over the city on his own.But it was too late for Sultan because Shoaib has teamed up with the enemies of Sultan and he finally shot him dead .
The story is built on the line – ‘behind the myth is the city’s greatest betrayal story’.
Director Milan Lutharia has tried to give a retro look of 70s to all his characters and he successfully implemented it in the movie.Even the art director of the movie has given 70s look to all the things in the movie.Dialogues are spectacular,which keeps the viewers glued to the seats.You will just love the  dialogues of the movie.
All the actors have played their characters very well.Ajay devgan has once again proved that he is the best actor and he can perform any kind of role given to him.Emran hashmi is also improving day by day and finally doing some acting.There is not enough of acting of the lead female actors in the movie.For me this is the best movie of bollywood of this year till date.Once upon a time stands in the league of Company and Satya.A must watch movie and i give a 4 star out of 5 to this movie.
