WHIPLASH A Journey from the SCRATCH to the BEST!!

WHIPLASH (2015)

Passion for something leads you to everything, but not unless you make that passion the only achievable goal in your life. However harder it might seem to be the best, the aftereffect is going to be the best too. Whiplash is an exhilarating movie about a Andrew Neiman who aspires to become a Jazz Drummer. To shape his aspiration perfectly comes in the mentor Terence Fletcher. He is tough abusive and the best. Now what is it that makes this film an exhilarating is to be said by me here.

Make few ground rules very clear before watching this movie. 

•  This is not one of those movies which will woo you by its outstanding musical concert performance at the end.
• Not one of those which shows the passion and your social life balancing.
• Its a movie to be experienced and this movie is worth experiencing.
  

The mentor Terence Fletcher walks in the first time when Andrew is practicing on drums, seeing him Andrew stops playing, to wish him. Fletcher asks him why did he stop, to which Andrew begins to play again till he is again interrupted by Fletcher asking him, that his question was WHY DID YOU STOP? , with this part we are introduced to THE FLETCHER, he has been terrifying teacher and he always wanted the best. Andrew however manages to get inside his academy and if this makes you think it was a great beginning then you're mistaken. The real trouble starts now. The strange tension inside the room when Fletcher walks in can be felt by you and your dried up throat. For the newbies he is soft for say like 10 mins and on the 11th minute he is the worst nightmare you've ever seen. You not only have to be the best but also have to be confident that you are the best. If you are shaken than you are welcomed with a flying chair thrown at your face and ushered outside the room like forever. You play good than you are grim ugly piece of sh*t, and if you play better than good you find yourself confident for the next hour. Now that was the introduction to Fletcher.By this time you can be sure about one thing that the survivals in his academy are groomed to become the best.

 

Now with Andrew it was a life with 2 options, 1. to become the best drummer like Buddy Rich, 2.Lead an ordinary life which everyone out there is already been doing. He chose the first one and also he chose to be one of those Fletcher's academy survivors. The practice sessions at his class makes you realize that how Fletcher pushes the student beyond the expected to turn them into the best. The core drummer of Fletcher's team is in itself a title, as this title comes not with just obeying his words but also your brainstorming practice, it bleeds, it hurts, it kills you down, but if you make it to the end you are sure to be a part of the core member of Fletcher's team, and if you are a part of the core team then you are just one step close to becoming the best.

 

Now coming down to the last scene of the movie. If this movie has worked its roots such hard than it has to give out the best, and you'll be pleased to see the best performance ever, and you will not resist yourself from clapping to the Fletcher's creation.

This movie is more than just watching. Go experience everything a passionate person has to deal with to become a legend. 

"THERE ARE NO TWO WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE MORE HARMFUL THAN "GOOD JOB".

My Score: 9.5/10     

HAPPY NEW YEAR buys 3 hours rest to the minds.

HAPPY NEW YEAR


       Finally the most awaited bash of the year knocked the screens today. This high budget multi-starrer Farah Khan movie promised a lot with its promotions and teasers.  Lets know how much did they live to the promise done. 

HNY is a heist movie, performed by as said 6 loosers, who submissively are working to get a 300cr dollar diamond. Charlie (SRK) whose father is imprisoned for some false robbery charges, takes on the charge of this heist in account of avenge and collects a team of another 5 loosers with one quality in them worth a shot.They get ready to take down the big show at Hotel Atlantis, where the big World Dance Championship is slatted. So the 5 odd men of the Charlie gang are a bunch of nettling pricks but you never know they are skilled enough to take down the diamond worth a grand 300cr dollar.

Charlie is the show stealer with his 8 pack abs and his signature dialogues from his blockbuster movies.The movie aims at you with only one card and that is Entertainment and more entertainment only till you find the duration to be of  3 long hours. The swooping sets are presented with dazzling characters but with a poor script. Every character has put his/her life into the character and comes up to convince you that they entertain you. So, this mono entertainer movie falls short nowhere in entertaining you. Songs have been sequentialized in regular interval to keep the movie agile, which perhaps failed majorly. Yet the songs are pretty famous to overshadow the mistake.   

Final word: If you are looking forward for a entertaining Happy New Year, then this is a perfect destination for you and your family. Buy your minds a 3 long hours vacation. 

My rating: 6.2/10

"BEGIN AGAIN" is same "ONCE" again

BEGIN AGAIN

A very Happy Diwali to all our readers and their dear ones. We all have that special awe towards music, and when it tastes good to our ears, then you're awe-struck. Lets walk a lane down for 6 years where we had met 'ONCE', an inspiring musical genre movie. This movie induced an feeling of inspiration for all the newbies who had an inclination towards the strings. That cult movie did set a culture to prove that music has its own identity and needs nothing else than interest and passion to make you recognized. Music knows no class, no society, its just on its own.

Now this movie makes you feel like, you open the door to find a similar person whom you met and loved 6 years before. The everything except the genre has underwent a transformation, and has been tried hard to match the TODAY, and thus it depends on you to like or dislike.

The plot revolves around a heartbroken Gretta (Keira Knightley) walking through a breakup with a renowned musician Dave (Adam Levine), who takes off with his success in his career. With the cloud of thoughts about Dave Gretta gets to sing in a bar, where wasted Dan (Mark Mark Ruffalo) finds his fortune stone. He approaches her and the magic happens, 

Read here:

Gretta: Were you drunk when you heard my song?

Dan: Absolutely babes, that's when the magic happens.

From here the wasted Dan and broken Gretta get their blank spaces filled and set on to make live music videos in the New York city.

This plot does have a few up's and down's unlike the Once, which was a master. Yet this movie lives upto the title and does sparkle the magic 'Again".

Final Word: Music lovers here is the treat for you "Again" and you'll just have to relax back and enjoy.

LIFE-DESTINY-LIFE. Destination= LIFE or DESTINY

Life - Destiny - Life. We keep chasing something right from the first breath of our life to the last. The chase to survive in the world that we are destined to leave behind one day. The day that we call it as DEATH. There are n number of philosophy told what happens after death. Let's have a small look at how can we see the life in other way.

Things we do in LIFE? To be very simple, we do what matters our soul the most, fulfill our desires, get involved with souls for whom we hold feelings, evoke emotions, and the whole routine is being calculated by the Life Calculator called KARMA..  The chase to fulfill our dreams/desires, which leads us to the destiny. Soul takes birth, soul grows up, soul earns for living, saves for the future. Every year we celebrate our 'Birthday', a moment of happiness. Our Soul turns a year older than the previous and we celebrate our one step close to the 'Death'. It's more like, BIRTHDAY is a present given by the DEATH, by turning our soul an year older. Now, is death the end or just the future that we had been planning since many years ago?An interesting thing about death is its uncertainty. Is death the destiny? If death is the destiny, then all these years after years we were busy chasing the death, and one fine day we achieve the destiny.

Now what if we look death too in a different way? Let us not consider the death as an end, instead let us consider it as the Change of skin, as the soul does not die, its our skeleton and emotions that is left behind. So, let's say the end of your skin mattered to the people who mattered you the most. Now, what nature does a human possess? Never listening to anyone, so that is why your soul never rests in peace. Your loved ones pray for your Soul to rest in peace, but our soul gets a new identity and comes back to the same world where you belonged, where peace was scanty. :)

Thus, you did come back to LIFE, and start the same routine again. Fulfill our desires, get involved with souls for whom we hold feelings, evoke emotions, earn for living, save for the future.

So, what is your destination?       

The Last Seen Saga..

                                                  WHATSAPP LAST SEEN SAGA

Plenty of messaging apps have knocked in today's operating system platforms, and among them the most trending is Whatsapp.  It is a new dawn of messaging. This includes a feature of last seen, which ensures that you are Alive somewhere. Today's reason of worry is, Dude!! his last seen is couple of hours ago, i doubt something's wrong!! Apart from bringing worries it has also invented a new reason for being suspicious. What if you were supposed to be at the college and your sister (Di) checks on your last seen and finds it 5 minutes ago. Suspicion strucks in, with the message flashing on your screen, Di: Where the hell are you? You were supposed to be in the class. Now try not answering it, she makes sure that your cellphone keeps buzzing till its last breath.

The social marketing tool developers are quite a businessman who know pretty well how to attract you and later turn you into an addict. So, with the increasing reports of last seen havoc, the Whatsapp developers introduced Settings>Account>Privacy>Last Seen>NOBODY. So, this was a big relief to the traumatized users of Whatsapp. It was as if they just found a key to the door named SUCCESS, literally. Eventually the screen without last seen notification increased, and so did the suspicion meter. But, this time you could cover it up with any handsome excuse. Elders have always been cynical about the new age social platforms, yet are the part of it. Can't help.

So, how many of us are frequent Whatsapp users? If you are one, then, answer yourself Honestly to these questions;

> Do I get mad when i don't see the last seen time of my girl? 
> Do I compare the last seen time of my girl and my friend?
> Do I text impatiently when i see my girl's ONLINE and my friend ONLINE too?

If the answers to all above questions happened to be Yes, then you are not an extra-ordinary person who should be feeling guilty. It is obvious that you are being possessive and are acting weird but that is absolutely Okay!
This happens exactly in the reverse case too, ie; your girl would have felt the same if you chose to hide the last seen option. So, that does not make any person shady. In fact, its time to wonder how carefully the technology developers have implanted a seed that is good for nothing, but only good to creep in suspicions. This is the time to wonder how the developers were successful to invade your privacy and almost screw it.

So, friends this is a simple general post i came up with, because i was once travelling by a public transport and heard a girl complaining about her boy, that, he has been so annoying, and is crossing his limits by invading her privacy. Time to think, who actually is invading the privacy?

I hope the LAST SEEN issues are SEEN LAST TIME.   

THE KICK WAS PAINFUL.

KICK (2014)

I got my KICK today and let me share you the after effects of that Kick. Before I begin to review this movie, let me first place the Warning note for my safety.

Warning: BHAI FANS, I strongly recommend you to skip the section written below this and just have check on the rating. I am just another human being like you who watched the movie and am sharing my views about it. So, No Offense.

Coming back to the review, Let me tell you this film is just the 2009 Telugu Kick wrapped up with Bhai ke posters and presented lavishly. When it comes to Bhai movies we need to follow a ground rule mandatorily, “Keep your brains at rest”. I hope now you follow the dialogue, “Mujhe samajhne ki koshish mat karna, dil me aata hu, samajh me nai”, at least I understood the motto of this dialogue, after and during watching this movie. Sajid & Nadiadwala pairs up to bring a Shit, which is not original either. Plot was borrowed from the south movie and action looks like another Dhoom 3 version, with utterly poor CGI, cars fly like in GTA Vice city. Every bit of the movie is screaming and pointing to Bhai and saying he is the superstar and he can do anything. Take any powerful person on charge, Cops, Army, Weapons, anything, all fall short before him, you know why, because he has borrowed the mask too from Krrish.
Jacquline & Randeep meet up on a train before their marriage, and Jacquline starts ripping off her past with  Devi Lal Singh (Devil) and how it did not work between them, and when she is done with her part Himanshu (Randeep) begins his part of the story, that how he was an unsuccessful cop, and how could he not track down a robber, and eventually the robber turns out to be Devil. The flashback shows why Devil is Devil. As our Devi Lal Singh doesn’t like to lead a life that is normal, he wants some kick in his life, where everything includes Danger at the risk of his life, like helping the two loved ones elope, saving a girl’s izzat at a bar etc, etc. Now the further part of the story is Police-Chasing Chor, but the question remains, why is doing these robberies? It is now when the Devil turns into Angel, as he is helping the children foundation, where the children need heavy cheques for their operation. So, our Bhai comes up with an amazing plan, to rob the Richie and donate the money to the needy, BEING HUMAN!! So, basically this whole 2hours 35 minutes advertisement drew the conclusion that, this was a BEING HUMAN promotion filam.

Talking about the casts, except Salmaan Khan no one exists in his movie we all know that, but this time it is different. Bhai is sharing the screen with few equal shoulders, like Randeep Hooda, Jacquline, and the mentionable Nawazuddin. At the end we all know who is going to stand out of this crowd and take away the movie credits. It so happens in this movie. Jacquline does look pretty and is found more in clubs than her clinic. Songs were mediocre and the action sequence are high octane actions, but nothing much of new in it. CGI is terrible in few scenes.

Final Word: Surely watchable, for the high octane action and heavy dialogues. Bhai is invincible and is capable of doing anything as he is the Devil. I got my Kick, Go get yours.
(The final word looks deceiving right? Hope you consider my warning at the beginning, it’s for my safety :p)

My Rating: 6.2/10
