7 Khoon Maaf review

Anand, Jagdish, Baldev and myself went together for the ‘7 Khoon Maaf’.

My first reaction was “what a slow but awesome movie was that!”  Yet, there were some of us who found the movie as boring as any Bhojpuri movie flooding theatres these days. Such guys like only ‘ha ha ha ha’ kind of movies were you have to just laugh voluntarily even if it’s not a comedy scene. I don’t like such movies.

Undoubtedly not only the script but also the acting from Priyanka Chopra, Irrfan Khan, Niel Nitin Mukesh and others are the strengths of the movie. Overall it is a complete package for the true and sensible movie lovers.

Some important attributes of ‘7KM’:

Most important was the acting from Priyanka Chopra. She has evolved as a class actress in this movie. We witnessed it before only in Fashion. I guess she’s gonno be a strong contender for best actress award this year.

The direction by Vishal Bharadwaj was good but not the best. The movie was a bit slower which gained the pace only in the ending. But the end was superb and classic. The Jesus plot that was created reminded me  Pyaasa (1957) directed by Guru Dutt. This was the best part of the movie which I liked

The script is written by Ruskin Bond based on his novel ‘Susanna's Seven Husbands’. Susanna is a girl who is in search of true love, a person who will love her for ever but every time she thinks she has got  it, because of her evil fate destiny refuses to say so! This goes on six times ending in brutal murder of her husbands by her. In the end she finds that everything is worthless. There after she goes in the aegis of Jesus Christ and becomes a Nun with confession of all her mistakes that she did in her life time.

The music by vishal bharadwaj himself  in the movie was relaxing. Almost all the numbers were listenable and according to the need of the story. Especially ‘oh mama’, ‘bekaraan’ and most popular ‘darling’.

This movie is definitely a once more go.

An Small Business Idea with Big Potential.

I was just reading the book by Rashmi Bansal. There I observed many entrepreneurs leaping forward with a very basic idea which could did not strike anyone else. Like Mr. Bikamchandani did bring out with naukri.com. The business starts with one very basic idea and entrepreneurs births with capitalizing that idea into his enterprise.

Here I put mine one which just stroke me.

See, nowadays lot many colleges, especially, the engineering ones have cultural festivals(ours was Aarohi). Everyone of them tries to make it as large as possible. The fund for that event is gathered in terms of sponsorship by the students or in many cases the college donates some amount. So, most of these colleges  have the Band Contest. So idea goes like this.

We’ll make a portal to organize the total planning of these events i.e. Event Management. It will include contacting the affordable and best band in a particular budget. Looking after everything right from sound system, publicity (I was in publicity committee, for that matter), location management, crowd handling and everything.

We gonno charge a minimum amount that should be worth spending from students side. And at the end of the day what anybody wants  is kam me bum (maximum in minimum) and satisfaction.

Comments & Suggestions are welcome and awaited......
