Balaji, which changed themselves due to this Balika Vadhu serial, may now feel some respite that the same serial is following the same footsteps of Saas-Bahu serrials which were made popular by Balaji.

I do not understand why these serials can not end when the story finishes. In recent years I do not remember a single serial which ended with the story. Every serial must be rescheduled or stopped abruptly. Is it mandatory for a serial to run for 5-10 years.

I sincerely request all TV serial makers to please follow your story. Get it ready before starting production and please please end it when that written story finishes. Do not keep developing the story forever, by adding new characters from the nowhere?

At least have some respect to story, which takes you to the popularity.

The movie is good and very engaging but what it lacks is the Entertainment value. It sticks to its line so strictly that a common audience may find it difficult to enjoy. I think it was filmed keeping in mind the western audiences – from where it picked up its subject. The subject itself is very noble and asks everyone to think about the boundaries that we have created ourselves between humans. The boundary of religion.

As the lead character Rizwan Khan (played by Shahrukh Khan), keeps saying that – “There are only two kind of people in this world. Either Good or Bad. There is no other difference between two people.”

The subject also has a balance while taking sides of specific group. While it blames western countries for treating each Muslim as terrorist, it also shows the – religious Muslims leaders, who motivate them to fight in the name of god, which eventually creates more hatred for them. On one hand it shows the Christians only relief program for drought hit Africa, and on the other hand it shows Muslim religious leaders misinterpreting the holy Kuran to mislead the Muslim youth in the name of “Allah”.

If we leave that core of the story aside – then we have the character of Rizwan, which has a rare disease known as “Autism“, behaves like a child and Shahrukh Khan leaves no stone unturned to make you believe that yes he is the Rizwan Khan, not the super star SRK, as we all know him. Rizwan lives by the teaching of his mother and is an honest, innocent, sincere, lovable and very intelligent.

When FBI agents were investigating Rizwan for his suspected links with terrorists – Osama in specific. He writes to his wife that – “They (FBI) are asking me to tell them about Osama and are angry with me as I do not know anything about him. If I would have imagined that they would ask about Osama then I should have read about him.”

And I can not forget about Kajol, I am her great admirer and I believe that she is the best actress at present in Hindi film industry. While today’s actresses are busy in making their body, looking beautiful and sexy. They should also try to do some acting. Kajol makes a mark in every scene she is in, when ever Kajol is there on screen the screen gets energized.

While watching the movie, if you would not know that this is directed by Karan Johar, you would never believe that it is a Karan Johar movie. He has come a long way since “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”. It is the first time that Karan has made a movie without drama, plush sets, loud Punjabi music and colorful dresses. I felt too good to get a different movie from a great director we have.

I wish if every person in this world becomes like Rizwan, we will have a much better world as we have now.

1. My Name is Khan, riding on twitterverse!!!

MNIK top 10 most discussed topic on Twitter worldwide

Yes, as the day unfolded and result of the hype created by Shiv Sena – which is opposing the film release, MNIK (My Name is Khan, for people who are still unaware of this) is the 5th most discussed topic worldwide on twitter. The tweets are pouring in at the speed of 15-500 per fifteen seconds. You can view the MNIK tweets here.

Actually Shiv Sena controversy helped publicized the movie. People are going to watch it just to prove Shiv Sena wrong.  Apart from that the reviews are great and the theme is noble. We should all support the film cause, even if we do not watch it or like it for whatsoever reason.

I will be watching it some time in coming week as I am a fan of Shahrukh and love watching Karan Johar movies

Most of the time I had to switch off the FM radio and go to my CDs of Dil to Pagal hai or DDLJ. What they(FM Channels) refer to as “aaj ka music”  is not actually music, just background voice of “Hard Kaur” and some foreign singers. Most of us do not understand what are the lyrics, who cares about the meaning.

But now since last few months I am getting a feeling that there are few people, who are still making great music with great lyrics. Be it song from Kaminey – ‘Pehli baar Mohabbat ki hai’ or “To jaane na” from “Azab Prem ki Gazab Kahani” OR “Dooriyan” from “Love Aajkal” they are all meaningful and melodious songs. And recent music releases of “Ishqiya”, “Veer” and “My Name is Khan” suggest that they are being popular due to their simplicity.

The song “Dil to Bachcha hai” from “Ishqiya” has already received a lot of appraisal from my friends and me of-course. “Sureeli Ankhiyon wale” and “Salaam Aaya” from “Veer” are great songs with lyrics and great music, which is also good to ears.

I always had a thought in mind that the music keeps changing every 10 years in Indian films, you may remember a lot of songs from 1970s but not that many from 1960s. Again you may remember a lot of songs from 1990s but not that many from 1980s.

Similarly according to the same cycle it seems that time for good music and meaningful songs is back again. And this is just the beginning…
