Sachin Creates History !!!!!

Today is great day for all cricket fans & specially Sachin Tendulkar's fans all over the globe, becoz Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar added another feather to his cap when he became the first batsman to cross the 200-run mark in an one-day international in Gwalior.

Sachim slamed 1st ever double ton in just 147 balls,which include 25 fours and 3 sixes.

He is back to his best at the age of 36 & 10 months. I was lucky to watch full inngs of his without disturbed by anyone. it is great moment for all of us....

Suffice to say that today, life came to a standstill at offices, restaurants, airports and shopping malls across the country as eager fans glued themselves to any available medium from internet to live television to savour the moment when the maestro got to his 200th run.

In fact, Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni got a few "boos" despite smacking the South African bowlers over the ropes as eager fans wanted him to give Sachin the strike so that he could get to 200. What's more, the Master remained unbeaten as he guided India to 401 runs in their alloted 50 overs.

Toh Baat Pakki: Movie Review !!!!!!

Director: Kedar Shinde
Cast: Tabu, Sharman Joshi, Vatsal Seth, Yuvika Choudhary .

Amidst romance flicks that are repetitive and comedies that are clichéd, the romantic comedy Toh Baat Pakki comes as a breath of fresh air as much as the breezy and fancy hill-station of Palanpur that it’s set in. Though not path-breaking in any terms, the flavour of the film is a delectable balance between candyfloss and masala.

Rajeshwari Saxena (Tabu) is a distinctive middleclass housewife who wants to get her younger sister Nisha (Yuvika Chaudhary) married to a well-to-do guy. In a dowry-demanding society where it’s difficult to find a good groom, she is on a constant lookout for a suitable match for Nisha.

Seeing an engineering student Rahul (Sharman Joshi) as a prospective partner for Nisha, Rajeshwari tries to hook up the two by hook or crook. Just when the two fall for each other and marriage is on the cards enters Yuvraj (Vatsal Sheth). With his gaadi-bungla-naukri status, Rajeshwari sees a more potential partner for Nisha in him. So she now proposes marriage of Nisha with Yuvraj much against Nisha and Rahul’s wishes.

Now Rahul has to win back Nisha but not against the will of her family. So he does a Shah Rukh Khan of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge by entering the Saxena household and playing a wedding planner. Simultaneously he schemes and manipulates Yuvraj’s mind against Nisha like Uday Chopra of Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai . After much marital mayhem in the climax like in Priyadarshan’s Hulchul , the culmination of a film, for a zillionth time, resorts to the climax of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai as Vatsal Sheth does a Salman Khan, handing over Nisha to Rahul with the customary cliché ‘ sambhalo apni amanat ’.

But despite the multiple movie references that one can distinctly derive from Johar-Chopra flicks, Kedar Shinde’s Toh Baat Pakki essentially works because comedy keeps overshadowing candyfloss in the treatment. Vibha Singh’s screenplay is laced with fresh and frothy scenes and the well-worded dialogues comprise of casual conversations from everyday life that one can easily relate to. The humour is not slapstick which adds to the appeal.

The mood intermittently switches from comedy to emotions in the second half where some more scheming by Sharman Joshi would have enlivened the proceedings. Nevertheless minimalism is always better than exaggeration. Also in the sugar-sweet climax, one fails to witness the wit that was prevalent through the film. The suspense on who would get the girl is unnecessarily stretched till the very last scene when it’s apparent from the very first.

The film could have clearly done without the surplus song-and-dance, especially when Pritam’s music isn’t as inspiring as usual. Art directors Shailesh Mahadik and Shital Kanvinde deck up the fictitious hill-station of Palanpur in pleasing pastel shades which cinematographers Rahul Jadhav and Raja Satankar capture to an appealing effect.

The film essentially works for its spirited performances by Tabu and Sharman Joshi. It’s a treat to watch Tabu in terrific form after a long time as she impresses in an author-backed role. Certainly this is one of her most entertaining acts since Biwi No.1 that gives her the scope to display her flair for comedy which she lost to more serious roles subsequently. Comedy comes naturally to Sharman Joshi as he excels in expressions and timing to come up with a splendid performance. Yuvika Chaudhary is charming. Vatsal Sheth is decent. Ayub Khan reminds of the dismissive husband characters that Kadar Khan used to play in family dramas of the 80s.

Click: Movie Review::

Director: Sangeeth Sivan
Cast: Shreyas Talpade, Sada, Sneha Ullal

The very first dialogue of the film says, “ Exposure ka matlab bare exposure nahi hota ” (exposure doesn’t mean bare exposure). Only if director Sangeeth Sivan could appreciate the opening line of his film, Click could have been a much better flick. Click is as barefaced a horror film can get with literal in-your-face thrill treatment. The spook strategy dates back to Ramsay days with white-faced ghosts popping out their white-eyeballs to colourless effect.

A ‘frame-to-frame’ remake of Thai film Shutter (2006), which was remade in Telugu as Photo (2006), in Tamil as Sivi (2007), in English as Shutter (2008) before finally being remade in Hindi as Click . Sadly this reprint develops negatively.

A photographer Avi (Shreyas Talpade) and his girlfriend Sonia (Sada) accidentally run over their speeding car on a female and escape from the spot. Subsequently, strange silhouettes appear in photographs clicked by Avi and Sonia is haunted by some spirit.

It doesn’t take you long to realize that there exists some connection between a friend (Rehan Khan) who appears only in songs and a figure (Sneha Ullal) who appears only in snaps. But the film takes really long to establish that link, until it finally cuts into a ‘done to death’ flashback. That’s only after the heroine shows her concern for the hero with clichéd lines like ‘ Subah se tumne kuch nahi khaya ’, while the horror flick doesn’t show much concern for it’s story that lacks meat but is stuffed only with blood and gore.

Click clearly isn’t a thriller that comes with a ‘don’t miss the beginning’ tag. Riya Sen gets special thanks for a tacky item number in the opening credits, where the film absolutely disregards to acknowledge the original Thai film. The horror resorts to exaggerated spooky sequences that turn out to be a nightmare (literally). The writing is conspicuously contrived and scenes are stretched to extents that test the audiences’ patience. Comparatively the culmination is inventive and interestingly handled.

Expectedly the film relies a lot on the regular external elements of sound effects and camera tricks to induce thrills. Sadly Ramji’s cinematography is no ‘great shakes’ and is too tacky esp. for a film revolving around a camera. Sandeep Chowta’s background score hammers on your head. The foreign plot is traditionally Indianized with interrupting song and dance and Shamir Tandon’s music is equally lackluster with some screechy arrangements. Chirag Jain’s editing is too lousy for a horror film. Art director Narendra Rahurikar stuffs his sets with too many abstract artifacts that at times scare more than the ghost. To sum up, director Sangeeth Sivan lacks the technical finesse to handle the horror genre and ends up remaking an average story into an appalling film.

Both Shreyas Talpade and Sada strive hard to sustain the film but could do with better scripts. Sneha Ullal seems to have literally gone from ‘Ash to ashes’ and struggles hard to breathe life in her dead character to no avail. Chunky Pandey continues to ham miserably.

Click seems to be as manipulative as photo-shopped images. It simply fails to click

Dhoni salutes bowlers for victory....

India sealed a dramatic innings and 57-run victory on the final day of the second Test against South Africa to draw the series 1-1.

M S Dhoni today doffed his hat to his lion-hearted bowlers for scripting India’s dramatic series-levelling win over SA.

Dhoni said getting seven South African wickets in the final session of the opening day tilted the game in his team's favour and even though the side missed Zaheer Khan -- who had strained a leg muscle -- today, the likes of Harbhajan Singh and Amit Mishra shouldered the extra burden and delivered the goods.

"The bowlers were really great. The wicket did nothing on the first day. It was not a turner as such but Mishy (Mishra) and Bhajji (Harbhajan) bowled really well," Dhoni said after India beat South Africa to level the series and retain their number one Test team's status.

Today we didn't have Zaheer and the bowlers bowled really well. We had lost one day's play and today we did not have Zaheer. We desperately wanted to be on the winning side because of the amount of effort that the three bowlers put in today," he said.

"Mishra bowled really well. It was good to see Ishant (Sharma) bowling with rhythm and pace and bowling in right areas. Bhajji too was brilliant. There is so much pressure on him ever since Anil Kumble retired. Every time he walks out, people expect him to get 3-4 wickets," Dhoni said.

Who are your real friends?

Some wise soul once said "True love is rare; True friendship rarer". So more difficult than finding our true love is finding our true friends. But that task just got easier.
 


We show you who you will be most compatible with and how to pick your real friends with the help of sun signs.
