Homesick :(

When you get overly emotional at the touch of a stranger woman in a local bus when she removes an insect (i dont have lice) from your unruly hair…you know it’s time to see your mom….

After watching this movie , if you involuntarily  apply shampoo on your body and body-wash on your head , then you are simply normal …

“Old dreams were good dreams. They didn’t work out but I’m glad I had them…”

—Robert Kincaid (”The bridges of Madison County” by Robert James Waller)

Lonely and cold…

What would you do …?

…….when things are not working out as you thought under the influence of the flicker of a hope that seems to be eradicating with time?

……if you could sense your life crumbling down to only a vague vision of something that appeared so concrete when you started?

……when that one person’s hand you would want to hold, leaves you in a crowd of strangers?

PHOONK

The (three) primary reasons why I went to watch Phoonk are :-

1- RGV’s disastrous cruise in the industry recently through his “AAG” , “Contract” etc and yet his (over-)confidence on “Phoonk “ could not be ignored considering the fact that he is the same guy who made “Rangeela,“Company” , or “Bhoot” for congruity with “Phoonk”.
2- The enticer of a challenge proposed by none other than RGV himself to offer 5 lakh rupees to the person who could watch the film all alone in a theatre without cell phone or intervals. Of course the challenger has to sign an indemnity bond though. Nevertheless, it was a wise publicity stunt for the severe losses that he has had to bear. It definitely intrigued in the audience’s mind to find out what is exactly so scary.
3- We were a bunch of friends who went to watch it. This being the most genuine of all. I wouldn’t even dare to watch “Casper” alone otherwise.

Paranormal scripts primarily fall under 2-3 basic categories. They are based on either split personalities or black magic or the most common one being a restless spirit seeking vengeance [the so-called tadapti …bhatakti aatma].

Phoonk undoubtedly falls under one of these categories i.e. black magic. It’s a good entertainer if you go to the theatre without expecting anything out-of-the-box.
Awesome sound effects, RGV’s most acclaimed forte, are worth mentioning. Especially the fusion of proper sound effects in some of the scenes is downright scary. Visuals are nonetheless a good combination of portraying the transition between the paranormal and the real except for the granny’s hand stretching artificially long to reach the maid-servant with a lemon, appeared a little comical but appropriate to project folklore imagination.
It’s a good watch for once only but I wouldn’t recommend to those who are expecting horror in the gruesome sense because it was only continually frightening and due to the time lapse it lost the integrity of the theme i.e. horror and so appeared a travesty of horror. And also unnecessary suspense isn’t an appreciated trick anymore unless it is in congruity with the rest of the script,which here, was not.
When you watch the movie in a theatre and want to feel horror in the atmosphere around just ask your neighbours not to think aloud. Only then would it mean actual value for your money for something as epistemological as black-magic.

Funny Searches…

Hey Poons people at least searched for facts and got them in your blog [i.e. mallu moron]…but just see where my blog pops up!!!!!

“the Woman in Me”

“A mirror tells the truth. Isn’t that a lie?…You raise your right hand and it raises it’s left. A mirror only tells you the opposite!
I wonder sometimes, what really happens?…Is the colour red really red?…”
– the Woman in me
A play by Pawan.

My colleagues denied to accompany me to the play by giving their own valid or invalid reasons when they heard the title and the mature content it claimed to have. Quite understandable. Perhaps , they didn’t want to be in a difficult situation with a woman colleague watching mature content about women. One of them smsed me “So did you find out the woman inside you”. My reply was rude and gross. He would know the reason if he ever happened to watch it. I anyway carry a strong disposition mostly so he would have taken it for my nature.

Here the woman is not about the woman in a woman. It’s the psyche of a woman portrayed by a man which is never comprehended otherwise. It impersonates what a woman goes through willingly or unwillingly by the mere fact of being a woman. It arouses you to introspect on what is a woman’s fault if she is a woman. It depicts the horrendous experience that a woman goes through when her husband rapes her on the uncountable nights. What right does he have? The conventional so-called superiority of being a husband? The men who aren’t in wedlock with her can’t be bypassed. Rapist is the word.

The play is a two-character play. One is a man who is tempted to supersede his wife but only egotistically [played by Abhishek as Rajiv] and his sub-conscious mind [played by Pawan as his raped and murdered wife, Nina].A single character but virtually two profound characters was brilliantly depicted.I can’t imagine a film on this theme.
