KO & Ayan - a 'loose' connection

KO & Ayan - a 'loose' connection

Disclaimer: This is not a review or criticism. Just an interesting fact which felt like sharing.

As many know Ayan had a storyline which goes almost like this – a young man attracted in smuggling carrying movie cds, other valuables except drugs. In the end everything turns around and he decides to join customs for his mother.

The hero is also a movie buff. In a scene one of his friend comes to him asking help to impress a director (who has come to buy foreign film dvds) by recommending some movies according to the situations required for him. Bank robbery was one situation the director asks and the hero recommends some titles.

Now coming to KO. The opening scene of the film is a BANK ROBBERY!!!
Also Pia’s character speaks to a director on phone. The director asks her to give five star in review of his movie which has a story line of ‘a young man attracted in smuggling carrying movie cds, other valuables except drugs. In the end everything turns around and he decides to join customs for his mother.’

K.V.Anand (director of both the movies) has presented an interesting ‘loose connection’ in these movies (just pun intended). After the success of KO, K.V.Anand has become one of the smart & talented directors who whose films are worth waiting for. Great going…

Dhoom 3 - teaser poster



A film which has not yet started (may begin filming by year end) has started to create waves just from its announcement. Aamir Khan will join the most celebrated Dhoom series in its latest offering. Writer of the early movies in this series Vijay Krishna Acharya (Victor) will wield the megaphone this time. His directorial debut Tashan was a forgettable fare. Abhishek Bachchan & Uday Chopra will reprise their characters from the original. Aamir Khan, whose winning spree created ripples around the globe may steal the whole show (or it is what expected).

Some marriage thoughts…



Some marriage thoughts…

When getting a marriage invitation, the first thing I search is the time of reception. Why? What about the marriage function, the bride, the bridegroom, etc. Simply not interested in them. And yes, will pass on through the names, to confirm if the food will be vegetarian or non-veg. That’s it. Why?

But I have felt I am not alone in this business. I have seen many waiting at the doors for it to be open and rush to the dining tables. Much worse than those standing in queue for movie tickets. Then leaving the place silently. Some others hurry for a snap with the couple. Show off to the maximum. Or its part of marriage too. Going for a marriage needs present for some. Otherwise they feel to be small infront of others. But whats the need of a present? As a token of love? Or is it a return for what you received earlier? Nothing is better than a handshake and a usual line: “Wish you a happy married life.”

Going for an uninvited marriage was unthinkable for me…Rediculous. But when the stomach alarmed much in hunger, I had entered the dragon some times. Sitting silent, watchful and eating fast. But its not good to be a wedding crasher. If you start enjoying it, you may feel to repeat it.

Now I get invitation for the marriages of my classmates. Those ones who were in my class with all the joy and fun, with all the childishness in eyes and tender hearts… They getting married. Isn’t sign for my ageing too. Now they turn bride/bridegroom, soon they turn parent… The image of a classmate to a parent. Time runs bloody too fast.
