Black and White... a sensible film

Hats off to the director of the film Black and White. Though this film is also,like many other previous ,based on the global concern of terrorism. But the story line and the concept is somewhat more experimental than many other prevoius attempts. The story mainly revolves round a young Boy from afganistan, who is sent to India as a jehadi for a suicide bombing plot. The boy is having a rigid sentiments about his religion. When he reaches India, he is introduced to a Urdu professor and his wife. Both of them though a Hindu , lives in midst of a locality of Chandni chowk which is an area containing mixed prortions of Hindus and Muslims. The professor is regarded as one of the peacemakers of that locality and his wife a social activist. The Boy comes closer to this family, for attaining their confidence to accomplish his mission successfully. But living with them , understanding their feelings and emotions towards the motherland and humanity, creates a storm of Good and bad , Black and White in his mind. He is being taught silently that, this country is not having only dual colors : Black and White it also contains other various colors with numerous emotions. His mind becomes entangled in the tought that whether he should opt for the attack or should withdraw. He opts to attack. But does he really does that... go and watch the movie, its wortgh watching than watching a "Race".

The Game is going to begin...

Is that cricket, which is going to begin or some sort of mind game which would be played between some multinationals and high profile peoples??? 20 -20 cricket is going to rock the world and indian panorama from 18th of april this year, in the form of IPL. Though this time there is no tag of international standards. Cricketers would be ready with their bats to play with the emotions of peoples across the country. Isn't this, at one point of time, would become something like a WWE fight , were a wrestler splashes four punches on his opponnent and then becomes ready to accept four with all best regards. All set , ends well. Thats what 20 - 20 cricket would be turning to, a fully dramatized hollywood masala, perfectioned by tireless retakes. Imagine Sachin would beat Sharukh's team like anything and the next day he would be destroyed by any of the lethargic bowler of the same team as if he is a newborn lying in the craddle of Cricket. But wait ... here lies the trick man , the TRP of the IPL would rise from the next day , when the advertisement from the very next day would be beamed on TV " Is Sachin Ready For Revenge ?". The gimmick of the reality TV shows is now not a new thing and IPL would be just another add on to that. Though this reality show would be loved by many of our friends , colleugues , Kolkatans , Delhites , ... For how long , it matters...
