Dear Zindagi - Movie Review

Dear Zindagi movie review

If the theatre accepts the old notes of 500 or 1000 go for it.. even then ask yourself if you can wisely spend it at the petrol station. I mean I would rather watch the blue screen in my TV than go and decipher what this movie is all about. I would recommend you to go for this movie only if your AC at home is not working.

All along you are left wondering what this woman's problem in life is. She casually dumps a guy who adores her on a dinner table but few scenes later gets extremely hassled when another of her bf is honest and asking for her commitment but has to leave town. So what does she do ? Goes and starts dancing with another cute guy in a disco. What a sham of a story. All along we are plagued wondering where the story is heading and why I have spent my 300 Rs, not including the popcorn mind you. A chance encounter with therapist SRK and you still won't know why she picked him. SRK tries his best to ham as he usually does but he is simply not allowed to. Finally he acts his age and not woo women half his age but that's a big let down for any srk fan.

There is no romance, no songs, no melodrama .... nothing ! This could just be a documentary on child psychology. Probably the 1st movie where SRK plays a second fiddle and Aalia Bhat displays her complete lack of intellect. Interspersed are a host of candy men who briefly accompany Aalia in her harried life.

All in all .. save yourself the stress and do some window shopping instead. Or pamper yourself at a dentist. Maybe send some more posts on WA.. this movie is something that can be surely be missed even by the hard core SRK fans

WHY RIP IS NOT THE CORRECT FORM OF CONDOLENCE TO A HINDU FAMILY

WHY RIP IS NOT THE CORRECT FORM OF CONDOLENCE TO A HINDU FAMILY R.I.P means Rest in Peace- In Christianity, this short epitaph signifies wishing rest and peace to someone who has died. Christians bury the dead ones and the soul rests in peace in that grave until the judgment day arrives. On the Judgment day, the Lord will decide who goes where- Heaven or Hell. They believe that on the Judgment day the dead will rise again. Until that time, the soul has to remain inside that coffin. Hence the blessing Rest In Peace (until the judgement day)  Now, Hinduism does not have any concept such as that of the rising of dead ones. Hinduism believes in reincarnation. It says that the cycle of birth and death are governed by the Karma of individuals. The deceased individual would take another birth based upon the Karma of this life. So there is no rest and hence, the concept of RIP is not valid in Hinduism. Hinduism believes in Moksha that is liberation- Liberation from the endless cycles of bi...

  From rented bicycles to traffic jams Born in the 70s but really speaking, I grew up in the 80s. Back then, having a bicycle was rare. We rented them, by the hour. We paid a few Rupees paise (damn I lived in the age of paisa !!) 50 paise for the hour was it ?? Hop on and the moment your feet touched the pedals, you knew you were in a race against the clock. That thrill of pedalling like mad, not because you were fit or competitive but because your 60 minutes were ticking away ? Priceless. Fast-forward to today :  Nobody rents bicycles. Instead, everyone has at least two cars, three bikes and maybe even a scooter for the maid.  Yet, we still complain about “No Parking.” Zen irony, isn’t it? The more we accumulate, the more space we lose. Funny how abundance creates problems that scarcity never had. The roads we cycled on were narrow, sometimes barely wide enough for a bullock cart and a bus to squeeze past each other. But we managed. Today, the roads are six...

  Friendship is easy when the drinks are flowing. The real test is when the bills arrive Your struggles have a way of filtering your contact list better than any app. There is this very strange thing about friendship. When life is good, when you are winning, earning, laughing, your phone never stops buzzing. Everyone wants a piece of your sunshine. Drinks flow, pictures click, promises are made. You think you have built your tribe. Then life does the unexpected. You lose your job, relationships fray or success slips through your fingers. That’s when the crowd thins. The people who called themselves friends suddenly find new priorities. The ones who said “Call anytime, let’s catch up” disappear like a flicker. No calls. No “What happened?”.  They don’t try to understand.  They just… disappear. Your struggle doesn’t suit their story. So, the real test isn’t in your best days. It’s when the lights go out. When failure knocks. When you are broke, sick or simply not ...
