Remake of Sholay ? Or a Joke ?



Just now I saw RGV ki AAG.... A much much hyped movie.. They say its a remake of the Old Super Duper Smashing full entertaining Dhamakedar one-of-its-own-kind majedar Maha-Comedy maha-Action one of the best movies ever made in this world... 'SHOLAY'.

The day I am hearing , RGV is trying to cash on the name Sholay and Big B, I really really was dreaming, would it be at least 1% of what the original was ? I am not going to jump into comparision, but comeon, at least 1% of entertainment it can provide... ? At least 1% ... this much audience can demand with such hyped movie..

But sorry to say Mr RGV sir... Its all disappointment in movie. I liked lots of your movies(Like Sarkar, Satya, Kaun) but Sholay... comeon you must be Joking...



The worst thing is main actors... 'Raj' and actress Ghunghru... Really the worst choice, RGV ever made for this movie ? Such a bakwaas expression-less face in 'Raj' , and Nisha Kothari , who knows everything else but acting...


Do they deserve to be part of such hyped re-Sholay ? Senseless choice ! I guess they dint charge anything for the movie, hence cost cutting factor is influencing movie production as well..

The next bakwaas thing is story.. Its almost the same... They say 'Old wine in a new bottle..' Should have done some changes at least... They saw remake of DON, and just jumped on Sholay.. Comeon.. Don has some change in the script at least.. And the choice of Shahrukh.. At least proved for its success... The scene by scene copy of the movie, and this kind of performance by 'so-called' actors(Raj and Ghunghru).. What was the dream behind it ? Just a remake for the sake of it... ?

The best part is Babban ... Khauf of such gangster... To see Big B in such a strong role is always a Treat, and the performance here is like one of the best by him in negative roles... Big B rocks !



Music has no charm (Other than Mehbooba), action doesn't revet anywhere, comedy is repeated from original... This movie has nothing to watch... Other than Big B, Urmila's Mehbooba, And Thakur's power packed acting.. 'Hero' (Ajay Devgan) also performed a bit, but still, he could have done much much better.. All in the director's hand...

Mr RGV... Your attempt failed drastically.. Please dont dont ever try to remake with such epics of Bollywood cinema..if you can not do justice with it !

All in all .. This AAG ignites only one spark in mind... "Could it have been worse than this. Dont touch other epics please." Please dont waste your time/money for this movie.





And the original Sholay ko, Jai Veeru ki dosti ko, Thakur ke badle ki AAG ko (:)), Basanti ki baaton ko, Jai-Radha ke pyar ko, Soorma Bhopali ki chaturaai ko, Jailor ke dialogues ko, Train vale scene ke effects ko, Naai ki chugli ko... Sabse zyada Gabbar ke khauf ko.... Mera Shat Shat Pranaaam !!!

Reincarnation Of Kalpana Chawla..

And Now Kalpana Chawla Reincarnation


?????????

Yeh sab kya ho raha hai ? Whats all is happening yaar... Lots of reincarnation stories in India these days... Now I hear this Kalpana Chawla Reincarnation.

A four-year-old girl who claims her name is Kalpana Chawla and that she died up in the skies four years ago is drawing huge crowds in a village here in Uttar Pradesh.

Residents of Nar Mohammadpur village, about 35 km from here, where little Upasana is visiting her relatives, think she might be the reincarnation of the India born astronaut Kalpana Chawla, who died when US space shuttle Columbia crashed four years ago.Raj Kumar is a resident of Pata village of Etawah district where he works as a labourer. "Yet Upasana''s proclamation led us all to believe that she was actually talking about her previous birth," he said. "She claims that the spacecraft was hit by a huge ball of ice that sent it crashing and ended her life." [link]


About Dr.Kalpana Chawla- great Indian:

Kalpana Chawla joined the NASA astronaut corps in March 1995 and was selected for her first flight in 1996. Her first space mission began on November 19, 1997 as part of the six astronaut crew that flew the Space Shuttle Columbia flight STS-87. Chawla was the first Indian-born woman and the second person of Indian origin to fly in space, following cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma who flew in 1984 in a Soviet spacecraft. It must be noted that while Rakesh Sharma represented India, Chawla was an American astronaut who represented the United States. Sharma and Chawla never met despite their common interests.

On her first mission Chawla travelled over 6.5 million miles in 252 orbits of the earth, logging more than 375 hours in space. During STS-87, she was responsible for deploying the Spartan Satellite which malfunctioned, necessitating a spacewalk by Winston Scott and Takao Doi to capture the satellite. A five-month NASA investigation identified errors in software interfaces and flight crew and ground control procedures. Chawla was fully exonerated and significant changes to procedures and software resulted from the final report.

After the completion of STS-87 post-flight activities, Chawla was assigned to technical positions in the astronaut office, her performance in which was recognized with a special award from her peers. In 2000 she was selected for her second flight as part of the crew of STS-107. This mission was repeatedly delayed due to scheduling conflicts and technical problems such as the July 2002 discovery of cracks in the shuttle engine flow liners. On January 16, 2003 Chawla finally returned to space aboard Columbia on the ill-fated STS-107 mission.

Chawla''s responsibilities included the SPACEHAB/FREESTAR microgravity experiments, for which the crew conducted nearly 80 experiments studying earth and space science, advanced technology development, and astronaut health and safety.

Chawla''s last visit to India was during the 1991 - 1992 new year holiday when she and her husband spent time with her family. For various reasons, Chawla was never able to follow up on invitations to visit India after she became an astronaut







Miracle ? Reincarnation ? Magic ? Drama ? Or Something else.... ?

Boy claims to be reincarnation of US scientist

SAHARANPUR: A 14-year-old boy from Rampur town of this district has become the subject of debate following his claim that he is the reincarnation of a US scientist.

Rajesh, whose father is said to be "mentally unstable", is a Class 9 student and speaks only English with a garbled American accent although he has studied in Hindi medium and never been abroad.

The "transition" occurred two years ago, according to his aunt Suresho with whom the 'wonder' boy is staying.

She said the boy and his elder brother Manoj were making a mud house while playing when their father smashed it, and an infuriated Rajesh hurled a brick on his father's head leaving him bleeding profusely.

"For two months after the incident, he stopped speaking. When he started speaking again, it was only in English... He has forgotten Hindi entirely," Suresho said.

His friends and locals of the area think him to be "mad" but he says he is the "reincarnation" of a US scientist.

Rajesh's aunt also seems to think so. "He is very sharp in Physics and Chemistry," she claims.


The boy, who was a normal boy in a remote village of India till 12 years of age, suddenly started talking in English, thats also in an american accent, Started behaving like a 40 Yrs old mature man. He even forgot his own native language Hindi, which he was talking since last 12 years. Isn't it really surprising ?

After reading this news, what comes to your mind? What do you think , is it some magic, some well planned drama, or really an example of reincarnation ?

Hindu Old scripts say "Aatma Ajar hai, Amar hai" (means Soul Never dies)Is it really so ? But as science doesnt believe in this, which has no known proofs.

And if there lies really some process, some methods which really works this way, there are lots of parents in urban India, who want their kids to speak that kind of stylist English, who want their kids to be scinetists... Why not we use this method into a business.... So i guess this would be a great business in urban India :) That was a on a lighter note.. no offences ... :)

Whatever it is.. jo bhi hai.. jaisa bhi hai... Yeh Sach hai .. mano ya na maano....
