Whistles, Whistles, Whistles… that is what I could hear when Hritik arrived on the screen. Whistles, Whistles, Whistles… this is again what I heard when Hritik made his 2nd entry.. and this continued till the end. But these whistles did not blow up at the time of Abhishek Bachchan or Aishwarya Rai. So this clearly says that, “the movie belongs to Hritik!!!�

Let me not express my excitement so soon. Let’s jump to the story.

Like earlier Dhoom, here too there is a smart and cool thief -Mr. A aka Aryan (Hritik Roshan), there is a smart inspector - Jay (Abhishek Bachchan), there is a funny inspector - Ali (Uday Chopra) and this time couple of more characters… one more inspector Shonali Bose (Bipasa Basu) and someone.. (I do not want to spoil the things) who is known as Sunehiri (Aishwarya Rai) and yea.. not to forget there is our Sweety (Rimi Sen) too (Jay’s wife).

So what’s the story? Aryan is always behind the precious priceless things in the world and running away from police, undoubtedly Jay is the cop chasing him. But the problem is, no one has seen him, the only thing they know is, the sign which he leaves behind in every theft. And because of magical (mathematical) power of Mr. Dixit (Jay), they get to know the next date and place of Aryan’s target too. But like always, they fail to nab him, Mr. A is smarter than these guys. But the chase doesn’t end… rest is to watch…

The movie starts with powerful action sequence and it continues till the end. If you are a bike lover, then you might miss the bikes here. There are few bike sequences too but like last part, it does not have bikes all around. The movie has couple of illogical action sequences too but, let’s hide our brain below the seat for sometime… and there are more of logical thefts too. And yea, I was really happy to see “working� computers in the movie. Generally in Indian action movies you get to see computer screens with Dos prompt opened or computers stuck at the bootup screen but here I could see Windows XP haha.

Leaving the jokes apart, Hritik ruled the movie..action sequences were just amazing, specially the chase between Ali and Aryan. Uday was his best and cracked some really good jokes. Abhishek did his job well. I do not understand the need for Bipasa Basu’s role in the first half. Aishwarya Rai did her job well. Cinematography was very good point of the movie, Brazil is shown very well. Loved the locals there.

Let me sum it up:

Story: Like every chase movie, tom always runs behind jerry. But it was with bit of twist here. Good story, keeps you seated till the end and gives some shocks in the end too.

Music: Not so impressive but it starts growing on you as you watch the movie.

Acting: Hritik - the man… he rocked. Uday takes 2nd place. (Oh yea, I know he can’t act so well but he can surely make you laugh) Abhishek, Aishwarya and Bipasa did their job well. The movie concentrates more on Hritik.

So overall, I would give this 4 stars out of 5. Yes, it totally deserves it. 100% filled with entertainment. And yea, the ending is not as stated in those text messages that we get on our phones.

Predicto Meter: The movie is definitely going to cross hit mark very soon and there are high chances of it crossing Super Hit mark too.

This questions comes in our mind when we share something important with our close friends. But we always share it with them because we have trust in them. But what happens when those friends spread it in the whole world?

I am talking about the recent Shweta and Rahul Mahajan issue. She shared some personal things with a reporter friend, thinking she would help her to find out the solution but the result was exactly opposite of it. Instead of helping, her reporter friend chose to use it as a “exclusive news” and exposed her personal life in public.

I am not trying to say, what Rahul did was right, it was totally wrong but what reporter did was worse than that. We share things with close friends because of trust we have in them but it really hurts when they only play vital role in spoiling the life of a friend.

It is just my take on the issue.

Lots of things happening around me professionally which does not allow me to post much. But I am happy in one way that, it’s helping me a lot to grow my business. Business wise, this is the best time I have ever had. (Touch wood)

Since the good times have started so people think of investing the money somewhere. So like everyone, I too decided to jump into share market. But I do not take risks so easily, to take big risk, I have to understand the market and once I get confidence in it, I take big risks. This applies to anything from Business to shares. So I decided to invest a very small amount of Rs. 15,000. I invested in buying shares of Naukri.com, it was public issue today. And in the allotment I got 33 shares at Rs. 320 each. (Rs. 10,560)

And guess what, my dear friend (who works with Naukri) sold the shares too… at Rs. 428 per share. And now the rates are Rs. 600 per share lol (He was holding shares on my behalf due to some issues)

But I am happy in one way that I made little profit out of it. Now, plans are there to put in some more money but I will have to do lot of research before putting in money in this high tide period.

P.S. Ashish, like you said, I am going to invest amount you had mentioned (in Chennai) in LIC too :)

Okay, guys, let me directly come to the point. For SEO purpose, I always look for 2 things, 1. Good quality Links and 2. Good quality blog posts.

Basically I ask bloggers to write an article or review about the site I want and provide backlink.

I can pay anything between $10 to $30 for the post, it all depends upon the quality and theme of the blog. (I am also interested in only links too)

If anyone of you guys can do it, then let me know at deep at web1 dot in or by replying here.

The only reason a person will watch this movie, would be Ritesh Deshmukh and I am not any exceptional case in this. After seeing the movie trailers everywhere it assured me one thing that, let the movie be bad but I am sure Ritesh is going to make me laugh like hell and it proved to be true.

The movie revolves around characters:

  1. Carlos (Jackie Shroff) who is a Don and is expecting diamonds worth Rs. 50 crore smuggled by his gang member Sania (Celina Jaitly).
  2. Shivani (Riya Sen) and Arjun (Shreyas Talpade) are in love but Shivani’s dad (Anupam Kher) is obstacle for them. Arjun seeks help of his cousin, Kishen (Ritesh Deshmukh) who is one of the biggest frauds in Goa.
  3. Krishna runs away from Goa to Mumbai in train. Incidentally Sania also lands up in the same train, same coach with (diamonds hidden in shoe box).
  4. Inspector Namane (Sunil Shetty) who gets information about Sania and he traces Sania out.Sania hides the shoe box in the bag of Krishna to save herself. Namane takes her to police station for checkup.
  5. Now, the diamonds are with Kishen (who does not know about it), Kishen is in Mumbai to help Arjun. Carlos is looking around for Sania for the diamonds, he takes help of local goon (Rajpal Yadav).
  6. On the other hand Nepali gangster (Chunky Pandey) is also looking for Kishen who ran away with his money.

Now imagine, they all meetup . What a mess it would be!! But it was fun. The movie totally belongs to Ritesh Deshmukh, who heads like a warrior in the battlefield alone. The Sonia aunty part played by Ritesh was just remarkable, it will make anyone laugh. Even Rajpal Yadav and Chunky Pandey did very good job. But the movie has its own share of laughter and flaws. There was no need to bring in emotional stuff in the movie, it just makes the things worse when emotions disturb pure comedy. The movie lags in first 1 hour. The songs make things even worse. But again, the movie makes you laugh like hell.

To sum it up:

Story: Simple story, nothing great but the it was more about comedy then the story. Leave the brains at home. Story also has few double meaning talks too.

Music: Bad!! Period.

Acting: Ritesh Deshmukh rocked, Anupam Kher, Rajpal Yadav, Sunil Shetty, Chunky Pandey were good. Riya Sen, Koena Mitra, Shreyas Talpade, Celina Jaitly, Jackie Shroff did not have much to do but did their job well.

Overall I would give this movie 2.5 stars out of 5

Prediction Meter: Word of mouth is the only thing which can save the movie. It might not be a hit but I think it should recover the costs easily.
