In a nutshell? This movie is a mad cap caper. Andhadhun translates to Blind Tune or a state of being slapdash and both definitions fit the scenarios perfectly. Led by Ayushmaan Khurana and Tabu in their usual capable ways, the movie starts out strong in the first half but the director ends up dropping the... Continue Reading →
Of Romance and Fried Eyeballs
Four years ago I wrote this blog post and I'm still laughing about it. Sometimes all the way to the loo because when Red ends up being funny inadvertently, it's bad for my bladder. One of the biggest yarns ever spun in my home is about Red getting a 92 in Hindi many moons ago.... Continue Reading →
A Forced Hiatus
I type this out, with the middle finger of my left hand raised and ostensibly flipping off the world at large. But that's not so. I'm not that angsty. Or am I? A few days ago I tried to save a silly glass from toppling over in the wind. The wind was gusty and the... Continue Reading →
A Quick Getaway
Birthdays can be hectic, even without all the trappings of a "proper" birthday party. The Offspring (T.O), who shall not be referred to as MLM anymore, had a relatively no frills birthday this time around and while that didn't translate to no fun; it was still quite low-key. Be as that may, we are currently... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: The Meg
Ever since I was a cute little girl and got introduced to killer sharks by my semi-misguided parents who thought it was ok to take a 2 year to a creature flick; I have sought out shark movies. I have watched the good ones viz Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, The Shallows and its rather limited ilk. I... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Karwaan
I'd like to start off by saying- Go watch it. It may not be something you'd want to watch again and again. But you'd like it if ,you did watch it just the once. This is what Karwaan isn't: It's not a screwball comedy a la It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World It's not... Continue Reading →
Counting To 20
Today, I was QUITE miffed. I don't like driving in traffic. There are moronic men who act like it's ok to keep honking while we're at a red light, behind a sea of cars. There are also auto drivers who have their heads so far up their ass that they can effectively do a quick... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Skyscraper
Will Sawyer is no John Maclane. And Skycraper is no Die Hard. But be as that may, it has the potential to be an entertaining movie despite having to live up to the rep of movies of the same ilk having scored BIG at the box office and becoming cult classics. There are mainly 3... Continue Reading →
Your What Now?
Yesterday the offspring went back to school after a little over a 2 month break. Part of the back to school celebrations was a movie before the school opened AND a chocolate milkshake at CCD after school opened. I wasn't in favor of milkshakes in this weather (rainy, gloomy at times and full of sniffles... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Veere Di Wedding
I almost didn't watch this movie. Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor aren't quite the draw for me personally. Add to it, the reviews had been less than stellar and I didn't want to watch a badly made chick-flick when I could use those 2 hours to sleep or read instead...color me pleasantly surprised! Now this movie... Continue Reading →
