Boo, I am shivering, sweating…please help me…I don’t want to be here alone in the dark..in front of this computer…please take me out of this hell…I can hear some sound…someone is keep on coming front of my face…on this computer screen….please help me…please help me…. Well, that’s not me…but this is what Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) might be expecting people to react after watching the so called “Horror” movie….I guess he was expecting this movie to be horror and it came out as collection of stupid stories which kept expression of the people same throughout i.e. straigh face without any expressions….

I returned from the movie couple of hours back, I knew that the movie would be bad but I did not expect it to be so stupid and boring…

The movie is about 5 school kids going out in jungle and one of them boasting of not being afraid of ghosts….they get into one Haveli where they meet an old lady who tells them 5 different stories and kids die one by one after hearing the stories…

The first story is about a professor (Amitabh Bacchan) and student (Ritesh Deshukh), professor sees someone in the mirror who tries to be professor…

2nd story is about…hmm hmm…leave it…no point in describing..it’s all bunch of crap and stupid stories which always keeps you thinking, “That’s it, did they miss the ending part??”

Ok, time to warp it up….

Stories..Pick one -  Sunil Shetty, Rajpal Yadav was worst… (rest were bad but this one was worst :D)

Acting…Pick one - Rajpal Yadav was worst…

Music…Pick one - It had only one song, so that was the worst one :D

So what say…how was the whole movie? P A T H E T I C and what about stars? 0 stars out of 5 (Boo…bhoot stole all my stars)

The entry of Multiplexes has almost killed the future of single screen theatres and in one way it is good also that you get to feel totally new environment, different from those old fashioned single screen theatres. And now if you see, most of the people go to multiplexes only. (Talking about Mumbai) And these multiplexes are taking advantage of this and trying to make some quick bucks by looting people.

Imax Adlabs Wadala - Most of the time I visit this place for many movies, excellent place and environment. But ticket rates are not fixed. If the movie is Amitabh Bacchan (or any super star) starrer, the price of the tickets will go up. I had paid Rs. 175 per ticket for flop movie, Family (2nd day) which is approx. 50% extra compared to normal rates. (Normal rates are around Rs. 110 stall and Rs. 130 upper stall). The food inside the multiplex is very good but again, the prices….I had to pay Rs. 25 for 1 lt. water bottle, which costs Rs. 11-15 outside. 450 ML coke costs Rs. 40 (outside Rs. 20), a pack of popcorn costs Rs. 40 (outside Rs. 10-15 max). and they sell Sugarcane juice too…Rs. 40+ lol, we get it for Rs. 6 outside…

Now, let’s take a look at R-adlabs Mulund, this one is costlier than Imax (Imax is far more better than Radlabs). These guys have started real loot. Yesterday, I paid Rs. 130 for the ticket (stall) for the movie Gangster. (It released 2 days back) After 4-5 days, rates will go down for the same movie and will be reduced to Rs. 100 instead of Rs. 130. and that’s more…the food and beverages are extremely costly inside. 450 ML coke costs Rs. 45 (Imax Rs. 40), Pack of popcorn costs Rs. 45 (Imax Rs. 40)…I know, the difference is only Rs. 5 but the main part is, quality and theatre environment. Quality of popcorn is bad and theatre is nothing, compared to Imax…

But whatever the theatre environment is, points here is, there should be some law which should restrict these guys to sell things at exorbitant rates but I do not think so it will be possible in near future…..

The movie is about love story between A gangster, his girlfriend and the person who falls in love with gangster’s girlfriend…Akash (Emran Hashmi) who falls in love with Simran (Kangana) who happens to be girlfriend of gangster Daya (Shiney Ahuja)…rest of the story…let Sarita Tanwar from Mid-Day narrate itRead more…

Got new DVD Player for home today, I was confused between 3 brands, Philips, LG and Pioneer… The cost was not the issue as all of them were under Rs. 5,000 but I needed something with good features and at reasonable rates..all of them had same features and the cost varied from Rs. 3,700 (LG) to Rs. 3950 (Pioneer)…so I decided to go for LG…which had same features as Pioneer and played Divx too :)

I tested it at home and surprise!!! It played XIVD format too :D

So from now on, all downloaded movies will be watched on TV :)
