Books:
Guys, this week i finished my bete noire Majid Hussain's Human Geography. This book has been my nemesis for quite some time but some how i managed to finish this off. Its a survey of the human civilization from a bird's point of view. Interesting read for anyone interested in Human settlements and evolution. 7/10 points.
Movies:
1. Satya (1998)
India's real underworld movie and the cult of RGV is born. It has a cult following and the songs are perfectly perfect. Sapnon main milti hai and Goli Maro Bheje main have become eternal songs of Bollywood and of young Turks. 8/10.
2. LOC Kargil (2003)
To be honest i dont know why this movie failed to win accolades. Its a great movie and a tribute to the heroes of Kargil war. Its a mother of all multi starrer and i dont believe that the sheer intensity of war fare can ever be surprassed. Manoj Bajpayi, Ajay Devgan, Ashutosh Rana and Sudesh Beri acted brilliantly. Ek Sathi aur bhi tha and Tu jahan bhi rahe are good numbers. I have seen this movie 6 times. 7/10.
3. New York (2009)
A good concept, good looking actors, nice dresses but film a real loser. I was expecting a better show from Kabir Khan after his Chak De India but now he seems to me as a One film wonder. Irfan Khan is the only positive point. 5/10.
4. Waqt (1965)
A typical pre 1991 bollywood movie. 3 brothers lost in their childhood by a calamity and joined by another calamity. A good time pass if you like Rajkumar's one liner. 7/10.
