Everything in between

....a sobbing Prerna Now, now this is not a regular saas-bahu lambast session. I am like the incurable romantic, who chastises and also enjoys. But some things are so completely hilarious that even for the sake of giving the plot a twist, these things appear a tad too stretched. One such thing, that just doesn’t get into my thick skull, is why did Prerna, of the Kasauti fame (please excuse the K’s, I have no idea how many I should put), have to sleep with Anurag to save Sneha? Aw! C’mon, don’t give me that “because Sneha needed a sibling” excuse. Wonder if Ekta Kapoor has heard anything about In Vitro Fertilization. Poor Ekta, she could have got in another angle…surrogacy? Imagine, Prerna’s eggs + Anurag’s sperms + X’s womb! Whoa that would be a cracker? But then No! Ekta loves to make surrogate mums sleep with the genetic dad…she did it in Kusum. Why doesn’t this woman try artificial insemination? See what did technique has done for Anu in Ek Ladki Anjani Si? Now, that girl is in a re...

After a lot of hullabaloo, we actually made it to Priya. At the outset, let me clarify, all the misgivings were not movie-centric, they were seat-centric. We had managed to get Front tickets, right you ought to be shocked! I knew what I was putting my neck into.... anyways, it was worth it. Here goes....

Not only were the individual performances exemplary, but the concept of the director was also praiseworthy. Once again Aparna Sen has proved her mettle and that too with respect to a theme as difficult as schizophrenia. The last time someone dealt with this theme beautifully was Ron Howard, whom I believe Aparna Sen has not exactly surpassed for no fault of hers though. The protagonists in their movies are diametrically opposite and so each to his/her own film. The biggest pitfall faced in such films is the misrepresentation of medical facts and wrong depiction of sympt...

Views, views and views! I seem to have too many of them. My friends say I am very aggressive about them too, kind of not open to variations...and, later ofcourse, sheepishly accept that I am right. So this blog, to satiate my hunger for expression ;). Well ofcourse I am open to criticism, especially here, as it excludes any verbal contradictions. (lol). I am looking forward to a whole load of serious talk, brainstorming sessions (for myself and for you), sobriety and ofcourse fun. So do write in, and like I always say, I don't necessarily mean all I say, so dont take me seriously...(don't take this seriously either)
