Let the action begin: Agneepath

Well, to begin with I activated my Facebook account back on Wednesday, as my challenge to thyself came to an end. I successfully managed to keep Facebook at bay and now I'm over the addiction of scrolling down my homepage again and again, out of boredom just to find some new news feed and playing useless Facebook games just to kill my time. Also, after running from pillar-to-post just to convince anyone willing to come with me to watch the movie Agneepath and getting dejected repetitively I, at last saw the movie last night, Yahoo!

Frankly, I liked the movie. This movie is a remake of the original Agneepath starring Amitabh Bacchan belonging to 1970s or 80s (I guess?) and I have to admit, this one is the best remake I've ever watched! Okay, I'm quiet a movie-buff and have seen all terrible remakes too (anyone remember Karz's remake starring Himesh Reshamiya?) by the way, I have had a watch at Amitabh Bacchan's Agneepath too two years ago and on comparison with the remake, story-wise you know what might creep in next but, the remake has an essence of it's own, it's own pace of telling the story which happens to be a bit parted from the original one. Some terms and name are same as in the original one (Yeah, it's a remake!): Mandwa Village, Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, Master, etc. The iconic dialogue "Agneepath Agneepath Agneepath" remains, and it is something I love in the original too. I guess, I did too much of a critic's job? Anyways, on the bottom-line; This film definitely deserves a watch as it happens to be one of the best remakes, the story has it's own soul and everything from the acting (especially Sanjay Dutt's), songs, etc. is fantastic. You can read a review of the Film by Times Of India here.


Personally, I prefer to watch Bollywood films over Hollywood once because only an Indian filmmaker knows what an Indian viewer needs in a movie; Heart-pumping action, die-hard romance and a thrilling climax! So, the way this movie appealed to me might not be like one everyone still, I insist you to have a look. Have a great Sunday...

    Hmmm the trailer gave me the impression the movie was pretty bad.

      Even I felt the same after watching the Trailer and the Chikni Chameli song but, the film turned out awesome, I must admit.

Review: Himalaya Acne-n-Pimple Cream

Image
Back in the day when I was facing my share of troubled skin, I had come across this Himalaya product in the trolley of a fellow shopper during a grocery haul. Post that initial sighting, I quickly marched to the relevant aisle to get hold of this product. Honestly, I have zero recollection of how this cream reacted to my skin and had almost forgotten that I've used this cream in my war against acne until Himalaya Herbals contacted me to review the product. Now, my face is no longer covered with zits of varying intensity all the time. Hence, I was on the verge of declining the opportunity. But the universe works in mysterious ways. My brother got a terrible breakout and thereby became a perfect specimen to examine the working of this cream on!  Product's Claim Himalaya Acne-n-PimpleCream promised to control pimples and scars while keeping the skin soft. Himalaya says that this product is a formulation containing Silk Cotton Tree, Lentil, Aloe Vera and Saurashtri,

Chapter 2: Such A Long Journey

( Note: This post has been written as a part of Blogadda's #CelebrateBlogging. My team is ' Tandem Tensome ' and this post is the second chapter in the novel we are writing. You can read the first chapter here ) __________ “The number you are trying to call is currently busy, please try again later.” was what Shekhar could hear on the other end of his call. He sighed and assured himself that indeed she must be busy at work.  “I’ve boarded the train back home, and will reach by tomorrow. Call me ASAP.” he typed in a jiffy and sent the message to Tara, his wife, and slouched in his seat. He couldn’t help but think of Tara and how strained their relationship has become, not that it had been a healthy one erstwhile, but now it took a lot of effort even to communicate! They went days and sometimes even weeks without seeing each other although they lived together under the same roof; she'd be up and out even before the sun’s first rays hit the earth and home a
