Movie Review: INCEPTION



When I saw the trailers initially well I wasn’t that pleased or impressed to catch up for this movie but after read some great reviews of Inception in newspaper and web from both critics as well as users it added to my excitement to watch this movie.
Some movies have made cry, some laugh, some thrilling, some bringing hope, some boring, some stupid but his movie didn’t make me cry or think or laugh but it kept me so engaging from the beginning till the end, even most of the people at the theatre said wow at the last frame of the movie.

The movie is about a thief who steals ideas from people subconscious minds with the help of few people added with lots of twist and turns filled with action, thrills, frills and suspense added with emotional touch. Well I could explain the fully as it is a review but how to it’s a bit tricky as I would take 2-3 pages to write as it’s a bit complicated to explain.

You need to watch it to understand rather than read a review and get prepared to know what happens next; well the movie is totally unpredictable even till the ending. Every actor has done a great job in this movie and fantastically directed by Christopher Nolan.

The director took about ten years to write the screenplay of this movie and I think it is worth it and he’s the man who gave us the classics like Memento (Ghajini in hindi), The Prestige, Batman Begins, and The Dark Knight.

To sum up “Inception” is a smart, innovative, thrilling, amazing, astounding and mind blowing movie.

The art of drama at Ranga Shankara



It was a call from a friend who said let's go and watch a play at RangaShankara and I thought why not as I haven't seen one. Well iam not a great drama enthusiast as I felt it was a kind of boring stuff meant for the art lovers with long hairs but I must say I loved the play as it was very engaging & entertaining as well.

It was a hindi play called " Bikhre Bimb" acted by Arundathi Nag written and directed by Girish Karnad. The play only had only one single actor performing on stage. Well I was really astonished to see how a single actor on stage holding the attention of the audience for an hour and a half, I personally felt it was amazing performance by her which was well executed and superbly directed.I must mention Arundathi’s acting skills specially and indeed she did receive an standing ovation at the end of the play.

RangaShankara is a nice place to visit and even has a restaurant with a comfortable feel where you can have some chats and go on and watch the play and the must say the whole place is maintained well. They hold 3 shows every day at 12:30, 3:30 and 7:30 P.M respectively and they are closed on Mondays.

Kindly make sure that you switch off your mobile or put it into silent mode inside the auditorium or else be prepared to get rapped by the entire production team at the end of the show. I had a nice time at this place and hoping to catch few more art of dramas at RangaShankara.
