Revisiting Classics: Swades

We all know the story of Swades. NASA Scientist Mohan Bhargav visits India to see his Kaveri Amma. Let's look at how Mohan's personality changes time to time.

(1/n) Personality transition:

Just think about first 15-20 mins of Mohan. Wants to go back to US with Kaveri Amma as soon as possible. Reaches Charanpur with the Caravan, visits his childhood village, but don't really want to 'explore' the village. Just roams casually.

10 Moderate success/Flop/Less watched movies(Hindi):

1. Tumbadd:

I certainly feel it could get Oscar nominations if it was send. Pathbreaking in Indian cinema. Some of visuals creators showed, breathtaking. It probably took 4-5 'Rainy seasons' to made this. You can't miss this 2. Jagga Jasoos:

Like Tumbadd, it's also pathbreaking in Indian cinema. Satyajit Ray had done this before with limited budget, 'Adventure with lyrical rhymes' in 'Hirak Rajar Deshe'. This time Anurag Basu pulled off something like that with breathtaking visuals & cinematography.

Favourite Sports/sports-related movies(Indian): A thread

1. Chak de India:

Life is all about comebacks, no? And we can always do a Kabir Khan or can do what 🇮🇳 women's hockey team did in the movie. The song 'Chak de India' almost became our sports anthem. Inspiration for all. 2. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag:

Farhan Akhtar, whom I have considered as the most versatile artist in bollywood, had certainly raised the bar as Milkha Singh. Each & every frame, he was brilliant. The sprints looked so realistic. And the way director connects the dots of Milkha, wow!

10 less talked bollywood thriller/Crime dramas:

1.Aakrosh(2010):

Directed by Priyadarshan, it's one of the best movies ever made in India based on realistic events. Casting is top notch. Ajay Devgan, Akshay Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Pankaj Tripathi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Bipasha etc. 2. Aamir(2008):

I can write about these movies but I shouldn't reveal stories of thrillers. So trust me and give a go!

I can say one thing, this movie has one of the most gripping stories ever in Bollywood. Fast paced with twist and turns, you blink, you miss type! So good.

Happy birthday Sivy. Although I started twitter long before, I actively using this for 1-2 months. For this short period, I have come across many people but nobody is getting more love than you! Ofc there's a reason, in this era of comparisons and hate, you are true to your idol. You don't troll anyone except those are bound to be trolled. You are kind, generous, and love our beautiful game so much. You have proper cricketing brain which should be appreciated. Probably you are sleeping now , so after getting up when you sip your morning coffee, I hope...

Favourite Webseries (Hindi): A Thread

1. The Family Man

I have seen many saying it showed Anti-India. Maybe! I have seen it purely entertainment basis and I call it 'Sholay' of Indian web-show. Just like Sholay, It has everything: thrill, drama, action, comedy, family, songs. 2. Panchayat & Gullak

There should be separate reviews of these two masterclass, whenever you feel bored, tired, disinterested, depressed or feel low, you can watch both of these. So simple yet so witty.

Favourite Women characters in Bollywood.

1. Gayatri Joshi (Gita, Swades)

Gita is my favourite character amongst all. It's actually unbelievable that in 2004, in a remote village, Ashutosh ji portrayed that character! Strong, intelligent, well cultured, graceful, well behaved. 2. Sridevi ( Shashi, English Vinglish)

The last speech of Shashi ji speaks volumes of the character. Here in India, Knowing English and speaking English proposes a different value! We actually amazed by someone's English knowing! In the movie, Shashi ji was mocked and rest ...
