Movie Review - Bahubali 2 - The Conclusion

BhaLi BhaLi BhaLi BhaLi Ra BhaLi...... Saaho Re Rajamouli.... What a treat this 170.51 minutes film is to movie lovers across the globe!!! Director S.S.Rajamouli weaved magic with his imagination and resources. This film will come to be known as the 'Kohinoor of Indian Cinema' and will probably be the only movie for which reviews would not matter as people will want to definitely watch it regardless of the reviews. Right from the first frame till the last, audience will be spellbound watching this marvel of a movie, a sequel to Bahubali - The Beginning. No other film caught the imagination of the audience in the recent past as much as Bahubali did with just one curious question "why Kattapa killed Bahubali?" eating into their brains. That one single question did the whole marketing for the film. The screenplay is gripping and carries the audience to a different world through out the show. Vijayendra Prasad must be thrilled to see his story being presented so well b

Two contrasting faces

One face - He is a national level leader. His family is treated as the first family of India. His grandmother fell to the bullets of terrorists and his father died in a dastardly act. His oratory skills are good though not excellent. He is the most criticised, ridiculed, lampooned political personality in  social media . Yet, he goes on like an elephant that doesn't care about dog barks. Neither did he complain nor seek 'other' ways to  throttle the 'social voices'. He still keeps smiling and goes on with his work. Second face - He is the son a regional leader with national stature. He and his father are not able to digest any criticism or ridicule born out of his own faults. He seeks to hide and take protection using undemocratic means and power; and this is just the beginning of his political career gifted to him in a golden plate by his loving father.

Two Democracies - Two Airlines - Two Actions

In just two weeks time people across the globe have witnessed two different scenarios in two different parts of the world both of which are known as largest democracies in the world. While in one instance, Ravindra Gaikwad,  a Shiv Sena MP from Osmanabad in Maharashtra repeatedly hit a 60-year old  Indian Airlines  staffer with his slippers, in the other instance  United A irlines  had forcibly removed and dragged a passenger by name  David Dao  making him bleed in the process. In one case it is the airlines staff who was at the receiving end and in the other case it was passenger(s). Both these incidents smack of arrogance that comes from the top. Whatever be the reasons for their actions, the MP from India and the Airlines in US have done something that is highly condemnable and unpardonable in a civilised society. The MP comes with the mindset of elected representatives in India who think or presume that they are above the law of the land and can get away with anything they do. And

The Seven Ss

Seven characteristics( 7 Ss) that can elevate an individual's personality and also boost his/her progress in life and career: 1) Self-confidence - Never lose confidence in yourself irrespective of the obstacles and failures you comes across. Inflated confidence is dangerous but realistic confidence is safe.  2) Self-energy - Ensure your energy meter is always charged and is at 100 per cent.  3) Self-control - Never lose control even in the  face of the ugliest of the situations and people. 4) Selflessness - Always look for ways to help others in their personal and professional problems.
