Other Shows and Movies

Have started watching Parvarish Season 2 ... and still watching the Iqbak Khan show, both on Sony ... the latter has such a long name, I don't remember it! Both are going okay ...

Parvarish has just started, and this time around, it seems to be more about the aspirations and ambitions of the parents, rather than the upbringing of the children. Acting is good all through, the parents, the children, and the grandparents.

The Iqbal Khan show - IK is excellent, Mona Singh is very average, but watchable. The supporting cast is all good, except the new entrants, Naina is mediocre ... her parents are senior actors, they are quite average actors too.

Watched the movie Tamasha this evening .. I liked it a lot. Well done ... there was an admixture of the street theatre tradition in the narration, and a constant movement of time frames, past, present, back to past, and then an intermingling of past and present ... a departure from the usual linear narrative of films ... which made it a very interesting watch.

The acting of the two leads was excellent. I read reviews saying that Deepika had less screen space, but I found her screen space quite adequate, and she completely excelled in her scenes ... her presence was felt even when she wasn't there ... she was brilliant. And she looked gorgeous ... she wore fabulous clothes, short dresses and shorts with sneakers for the Corsica part, and formal wear for her return to real life ... she looked amazing! She overshadowed Ranbir for both my daughter and me ... and that's saying something. Both of us came out raving about her looks and her clothes and her acting. I had also read that Ranbir's acting was similar to his role in Barfii ... I found no similarity at all. He was very good too. The little boy who plays junior Ved was also brilliant. All in all, a good watch ... not a brainless movie, so it might not do as well as the Dabangg and Rowdy Rathore types.

The trailers of both Dilwale and Bajirao Mastaani are quite spectacular ... want to watch them both.
