Buddah – Mumbai Mafia ka Founder Member is back

Posted on July 5, 2011 by ramcsays

Buddah  is a sprawling crime saga that follows the revenge and loss that a single man endures – what ??? !@#$% nothing of this sort its pure entertainer and just to say its Big B back with bang!!!

So who better to carry the torch of crime into the city of Mumbai than Amitabh Bachan himself – The DON, Big B plays Vijju, a foul-mouthed and short-tempered criminal who, with the help of a fellow gangster joins underworld to fulfill his mission

Vijju as introduced is a free lance criminal who will be hired to kill a police officer (Sonu Sood) who interferes in criminal acts of a big time mafia leader (Prakash Raj). From there on goes the Masala mixture of Puri and Big B.

One thing most importantly we need to consider is the Dialogues of Big B, “Mein jaha kada hota waha se line shuru hoti hei”, “Mein mara tho sirf goli se hi marta, BP,Sugar se nahi” ,” Tujhe nahi pata ki Mubai Mafia ki Founder Member mein hun”!!etc. It was entertainment watching Big B again in this type of role.

Aspects of the character feel like an amalgam of characters in BigB’s all time hits, the dialogue delivery and the  body language – its only for Amitabh!!! Background score by Anup was brilliant, Music by Vishal Sekhar was foot tapping. Charmee, Raveena, Amitabh comedy episode about Baingan(Brinjal) was hilarious. Prakash Raj – he acted like Prakash Raj usually so nothing more to talk about him.Sonu Sood filled up the void. And Hema Malini completed the Amitabhs Role in this movie. Raveena was superb in her role as Kaamini, apt!!!!

Puri handled the characterization quite beautifully, concentrated on Amitabh’s body language and Dialogue delivery, appearance – everything gelled well with Big B.

Bottom line : Watch it for a pure entertainer and if you wanna see Amitabh as you have seen him previously. Keep all the things aside – Go watch it!!!

Master and the World Cup

Posted on February 3, 2011 by ramcsays

1992 world cup – match between two rivals in international cricket India and Pakistan – Team India Batting first ………………………………..

“ Oye Mushe……. Sirf ee ek wicket hei bas hogaya”(Just one wicket, we are done) …..

Wicket keeper Moin Khan alerting the bowler about the batsman in the crease, he was pointing at the18 year old Indian batsman and shouting those words to his team mate leg spinner Mustaq Ahmed.

At that time India’s score was 147/4, still to bat are Manjrekar , Kapil Dev, Kiran More , strong order still but wicket Keeper’s fears were only on the Batsman at the batting end . His confidence was if this man gets out they can complete India’s Innings very fast. But what happened this 18 year old scored “ 54” an innings which no one can forget, and the result India won the Match and this 18 year old guy was declared “Man of the Match” . Mustaq Ahmed had tekn 3 imp wickets but was not able to show his talent with this little Master. It started like that and till now it was a hurricane of runs for this guy in the world cup after that till now (2007).

1996 World cup –

1st match Ind vs Kenya – He scored 126*.

2nd Match Ind vs WI – He was on 26* – Courtney Walsh bowled a body length ball which this guy tried to pull it , but the ball edged and it was up above into the air , the whole WI team was eagerly waiting for this moment , audience were praying to god , people watching TV sets closed their eyes , wicket keeper running behind the ball, as it was the wicket keeper who was after the ball very one in WI team was confident and every Indian lost hopes , but what happened , WI team players were depressed in their emotions , huge noise in the stadium , I jumped out of my seat – what happened – Wicket keeper dropped the catch. They lost the match – He scored 67(don’t remember exactly). Why this one wicket was responsible for these many expressions?

3rd Match – Ind VS Aus: Mumbai – scored 90 , stumped by Ian Healy , Bowled :Shane Warne – and Australians thought they won the match at the moment itself. This one wicket was bothering them.

With Zim , he was bowled at 3 , Zim were happy as if they won the Match.

And it went on – and India in quarter finals with Pakistan – India won again with Pakistan. Scored 31.

Semi Finals – Ind vs SL – Dramatic match – India batting second – was in good position – but something happened in between – something very sad – this little master got out on 67 stumped – 3rd umpire decision took more than 10 Mins. Gone –other batsman lined to pavilion. This one wicket changed the whole scenario. Now we can say how important this one wicket was for everyone playing in the field.

2003 – World Cup:

Will mention two matches Ind VS Pakistan , Ind VS England.

It was a important match for both India and Pakistan, target for India – 274, at that time this guy who we were talking about was named Master Blaster. It suited perfectly well. Everyone was watching eagerly – tension what will happen. Pakistanis fears were also about this Master Blaster, Shoib Akthar was bowling with his full strength , Master has just pushed the ball over to the mid on – 4 runs , 3 (4’s) in an over – Commentator Ravi Shastry’s words “ Every one eating will throw their plates aside and start watching this wonderful innings” And same bowling – same batsman – a SIX to the square off the wicket by the Master , it was stunning – Shaoib was awestruck will was not able to believe his eyes , in less than 4 sces ball went into the Audience. you should watch the match live to understand the significance of that one shot. Shoaib Akhtar was taken out of the attack after that one over. One thing to mention here ‘but before this ODI game he had talked big about how he had it in him to get this Master out early. He had in fact specifically said that he was going to blow the Indian batsmen away’, but what happened?

Pak missed the golden chance: Wasim was bowling – He lifted the ball and Abul Razzak missed the catch in Mid Off. Just after that, Wasim to Razzak “ Ma!@#$%$  tu kiska catch choda hei pata hei kya?”  ( You !@#$% do you know whose catch you missed?)”. India won the match. Need not mention who is the Man of the Match.

One catch – this range of anger? That shows the importance of this one wicket. He scored 98 and what is interesting is Akthar himself had the wicket under his figures.

Ind VS England.

Caddik bowling to Master: Treat to watch this shot. What is more interesting is that Caddik challenged Master about his skills against short pitch balls before the match. When India won a vital toss the following day, Master was in the mood. Curiously, he reserved his most punishing stroke play for Caddick, who seemed putting out that his comments had found their way back to the Indian dressing-room. One short ball was pulled for six; a good-length one pushed back on the up through mid-off for four. By the time Master was out for a 50-ball 52, he had scored 36 of his runs off Caddick – and from just 19 balls. India was off to a flier, and Caddick finished with his most expensive analysis in one-day internationals.

Signature Shot by Sachin – i bet any one would dare to pull that shot moving off the wicket – and Caddik challenged sachin about his skills against short pitch it seems – but the same old dialouge from me “Khuda ke aage style maaretho Khuda ANJAAN dikhata hei” shane warne-steve waugh, mike kasper…ich , shoiab, etc have noticed it!!!

Just watch that shot, it was signature by the Master and no one can even try to forge!!!

So this is all for now , In India we had many players recently in the way of Sehwag,Yuvraj, Raina, Dhoni but , for fans these are all one side this guy is one side. He has his own importance. Do we have any player now whom we can bank on for the whole match?

Who is this guy, the Master Blaster? Once My friend said “ God Wanted to play Cricket and he came in the form of ………………………..” I did not mention his name because what I believe is “GOD HAS NO NAME”

Master’s Statistics in world cup:

Year Matches Runs Avg Highest 50’s 100’s
92 8 283 47.16 84 3 0
96 7 523 87.16 137 3 2
99 7 253 42.16 140 0 1
03 11 673 61.18 152 6 1
07 3 64 32.00 57 1 0
Total 36 1796 57.93 13 4

PS: Statistics and some scores have been taken from the Web from few sites.

Bottom line : Open Google and Type ” GOD OF CRICKET” and see what you will see!!! And if you any other pic other than the guy i was talking about i take back all the above words.

127 Hours – Mesmerized

Posted on January 16, 2011 by ramcsays

127 Hours – Should be a definite Oscar win for the Protagonist for his flawless performance about handling wrenching pain shown in his emotions. A directorial talent exuberated. Two way thumbs up to the movie.

This is a superb film encapsulated by the exquisite directing by Danny Boyle. It’s the power of Will shown but he also mentions about the fate. Recalling his previous memories when he knows he is going to die was touching. This is the film where screenplay comes into picture rather than script. A Master in screenplay is the only capable person for making this kinda film.

Bio-pics often fall into one of two categories: overblown hero-worship or a dry, dull account. It’s rare that this movie is a mixture of both. Based on the life of Aron” comes across as anything more than sporadically ever.

From what I have seen and read the level of intensity James Franco brings to the character – Aron Ralston is unwavering. For all 132 minutes, director Danny Boyle and actor James Franco have us mesmerized by this individual who is by turns sympathetic, sad, and wrenching in pain. The director has shown how hard it is to accept the situation he was in and how to get out of this ill situation, acting once again I mention here it’s marvelous.

127 Hours will be crowned with so many l laurels that another word in extolment of it might seem redundant. So here I end this!!!!

UDAAN – Masterclass

Posted on January 9, 2011 by ramcsays

Since the time I have seen this movie I am just thinking about this. So this led to me to write this article after so many days. I can say it’s the best I have seen in recent times. And this is the movie which nobody should miss, if anyone had missed to watch this, guys you have missed a one of the great motion picture ever from India.  UDAAN….

Udaan just banks on a taut screenplay, not a showy star cast to deliver the goods and most importantly the acting skills of the actors in the movie. It can be said what we usually say “Just Marvelous”  , take anyone in the movie , Ronit Roy , Rajat Barmecha or the Small boy character Arjun…simply fantastic.  The success formula for this movie is the script, the dialogues and most important – substantiation of whatever is being shown on the screen. Choosing an unfeigned plot and doing justice to that in the technical department be it the music, the dialogues, the camera – take anything. We can see the power of a script in this film – original writing.

Udaan may not have huge star cast – item numbers, hardly 5-6 characters with whom the story revolves may not entice the audience but still it succeeds in whatever it is meant to be. It’s the Film making what we have to talk about. Its successfully made a mark in Indian film industry with its Endeavour like laughing, being emotional and having a smile on the faces who watches the movie. (I remember I just smiled and I realized in one scene where his father gives up but still he runs that this movie is the one which is unique and was never made before– awesome, just awesome). In another scene – the climax when the protagonist writes a letter to his father that his brother needs a future and he will give – just watch the expression of the guy – he oozes out of confidence – that’s called acting. And credit equally goes to the director as he is the one responsible to bring out these emotions in the actors. Their acting skills completely changed their image. Don’t miss the dialogues in this movie – every single dialogue will definitely make us think – that’s the power of dialogues in this movie.

Acting, in one word or rather the best word to be used – INTRUGING. Guys what Ronit Roy is doing in all the TV soaps, the Indian cinema needs actors like him but don’t know why he is not making in many movies. Excellent acting by the small boy – he just made me think that I am seeing not just a movie but some original story happened in my country. Thanks to Anurag and the director Vikramaditya Motwani for making such a fantastic, wonderful, which won hearts of not only the audience but also critics. This movie is the best example for a movie with content made through superb acting performances and with a skill called the Direction we can say that’s – IT IS A MASTER CLASS.

And who said that only if we spend more money we will get a good movie??? I think Tollywood has to realize a lot to make such type of movies.
