100 Days...A sure hit !


A traditional bollywood thriller made in 1991, but one of its first in many categories. Excellent performances by all the crew members but it is the director and lead actors who hold it together extremely well, even seeming tightly focused overall. Many unexpected twists and turns but at the end everything seems under control. Had its own lighter and romantic part too and immediately connecting to families and particularly to younger audiences. Media played a significant role in publicizing by photos, reviews and constantly playing the popular numbers from it. The tone is definitely in sharp contrast to work done by some of its predecessor aka RGV and Ramsay Brothers, so shares some inevitable criticism from that sector too.

Overall an impressive work by debutant director Partho Ghosh...and a welcome change and declared a HIT by the public and scoring 4 out of 5!

And...if you reached here accidentally, while searching for "100 days of BO's scorecard" you did not miss much. Believe me.

Not So Presidential...!

I strongly believe if Palin becomes the VP (and later President...as it might be only heartbeats away) she needs to emanate a tough impression when meeting foreign leaders and their media, much tougher than what she is now doing to democrats, and her own country's media shall stop showing the delicate and flowery side of her to the world, and the staff must remind the meeting dignitaries about REFRESHING their "harassment" course .

I was sort of amazed and shocked to see that she got her "first" significant foreign experience today from none other than our own neighbor President. It will be anything but just falling short of "Flirting". Now how that looks, considering he being a president just few weeks old only, Head of an Islamic Republic State and last but not the least enjoying this "status" for none other than his own martyred wife..not even a year right?

A Very Non-Presidential and Non-Sharif Gesture!

Z: “You are even more gorgeous than you are on the (inaudible).”

P: “You are so nice. Thank you.”

Z: “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you.”

[A Z handler tells the two to shake hands again for the cameras.]

P: “I’m supposed to pose again.”

Z: “If he’s insisting, I might hug.”
