Here we go..

Okay, so I reached the theatre at 10.30 AM for 10.35 AM show, got the ticket.. waited outside the screen 1. Was happy to see that it was still being cleaned up. Waited for around 10 minutes, still closed.

Finally, I asked someone at the helpdesk about it,

I told her - When is the show for Jimmy gonna start
She replied - Jimmy?
I said - Yea?
She asked again - Sir, Jimmy?
I replied - Yes, the movie Jimmy..
She checked my ticket to confirm, asked me to hold for a minute and went inside
She returned back with couple of guys, they all had a funny question mark sign on their face..
One of the staff members told me, Sir, unfortunately, we won’t be able to screen current show..
I asked them the reason for it?
He said, sir, because you are the only one who has booked the ticket for it..
I was like WTF.. there was one more guy yaar..
He replied - No sir, he was for some other movie.. we need atleast 4 people to start the movie..

Now, this incident reminded me of the movie Rocky, that movie had managed to get 3 people including me. But sadly, this one could not do that.

But I am no mood to review and go for it.. (though I am sure, my review would have give everyone a good laughter dose)

Anyways, that was my story.. pretty funny though.. I still remember, Sameer laughing out loud when I told him about it over the phone.. lol

Okay, now if anyone is still interested in the review, please read it on Buzz18 (Pretty funny review)

The story revolves around a kid, Banku (Aman Siddiqui) and Bhootnath (Amitabh Bachchan). The story shows how Banku becomes friend of a bhoot or Angel in his words, how they share the relationship like grandfather and grand son.

Very well drafted story, aimed mostly at kids. In most of the kid movies we see the movie going overboard with those magical moments and gets lost in it or many movies mix lot of emotions to show softer side of the bhoot / ghost. But this movie has balance of both, emotions and comedy (magical stuff).

The kid Aman, impressed me the most, very natural acting. Really loved the chemistry between Amitabh Bachchan and the kid, they look as if they are actually grandfather and the grandson. Like always, Amitabh Bachchan, he is a superstar, no one can beat him in terms of acting. Juhi Chawla was good, perfect for the character of a mother. Shahrukh was in guest appearance kind of role, nothing great there, they could have gone for an actor who is bit lighter on the pocket. Rajpal Yadav had a very limited role, kind of failed to make me laugh but his character was needed, so not wasted.

Graphics work was pretty good, I guess we have reached to a pretty good level in the field of GFX. I remember earlier kid movies, they badly lacked good GFX work.

Direction was pretty good, editing required some kind of tune up, found some scenes cut suddenly.. also couple of songs could have been chopped.. though kids might love those songs.

I guess, that’s it. Pretty nice movie.. worth watching in theatre, kinds gonna love this one.

I would give it Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars. On the box office front, it should do fair amount of business, should reach the hit mark atleast.

1. The Darjeeling Ltd. - Very different movie, in the beginning, I didn’t like it much but the end result was good. Pretty decent movie, only 1 and half hours though but worth visiting theatre once for it.
2. Iron Man - Fantastic movie, a must watch. Really enjoyed watching it. Loved the display of gadgets in the lead actor’s home / office. Action scenes were pretty smart.
3. The Forbidden Kingdom - Good movie, nothing great though but if you like Kung Fu fighting and Jackie Chan, don’t miss this one. Great fight scenes, worth watching once.
4. Tashan - Anil Kapoor was simply the worst of all, I would have preferred someone hitting on my head than listening to crappy dialogues of Anil Kapoor. Akhay Kumar was good but still not worth spending money only for him. Saif, Kareena were OK OK. I am still not able to grasp why Kareena was needed to put off the weight for this movie. The movie missed story, screenplay and direction too. Fight scenes were utter crap, above the head, confusing and too loud. Climax made no sense to me. They tried to show Kareena like Uma Thurman of Kill Bill but ended up showing some funny action scenes. Overall, the movie sucked. 

That’s it for now, next week looking forward to Mimoh Chakraborty’s Jimmy. (I love to watch stupid movies..) and Amitabh Bachchan starring Bhoothnath.

I understood the logic of higher demand and lower supply but what does it have to do with India? If people here are earning more and paying for higher quality for good then how does it matter to him?

Is he plain jealous about growth of India or he did not have anything better prepared for his speech?

Following were his statements:

Prosperity in countries like India is good but it triggers increased demand for better Nutrition, which in turn leads to higher food prices.

Worldwide, there is increasing demand. There turns out to be prosperity in developing world, which is good. It’s going to be good for you because you’ll be selling products in the countries, you know, big countries perhaps, and it’s hard to sell products into countries that aren’t prosperous. In other words, the more prosperous the world is, the more opportunity there is.

It also, however, increases demand. So, for example, just as an interesting thought for you, there are 350 million people in India who are classified as middle class. That’s bigger than America. Their middle class is larger than our entire population.

And when you start getting wealth, you start demanding better nutrition and better food, and so demand is high, and that causes the price to go up.

The label said, from Google, this made me bit excited about this unexpected gift.. opened it..

Ok, enough of “guess the gift” game..

it had 16 GB iPod Touch..

Now the question is, how in the world I got it? Well, couple of months back, Google had some kind of survey for Adsense users and they had iPod touch as gift for the winners. I filled the survey, answered the questions with my personal suggestions.. and luckily I got this iPod from them

Never expected, infact I had forgotten about it also but yea, I love this kind of surprises..

Usability wise, it is fantastic, just superb, great features, Wifi option, surfing, mail check options.. actually almost all the features of iPhone.

So, that’s it.. time to play with my iPod Touch..

THANKS GOOGLE.. YOU ROCK

I bought a laptop for one of my office guys, gave the cheque of Rs. 28,500 to the computer guy’s person (A/C Payee). In the morning the computer guy calls me asks me to stop the payment of that cheque as his person had lost it somewhere. I called up my bank’s customer support, they asked me to call the branch to do it. In between that I checked my bank account and was shocked to see the exact amount withdrawn as cash. (Bearer cheque)

But it was a A/C Payee cheque, so how did it happen? How did the bank allow at the first place? Well, it’s pretty simple and dumb on bank’s part too. The guy copied my signature on top, canceled “Order” word, so it becomes a bearer cheque. I asked the bank to get the photo copy of cheque. After checking it, I found that, the fake signature the guy had made was wrong, it was not same as the original one but still bank allowed him to take the money out.

Also, they gave him money without the company’s stamp. (Generally company’s stamp is required if the cheque is on the name of any company)

Though we have found the person (It was the computer guy’s employee only) but we are planing to lodge complaint to the bank for such negligence. Even a kid can make out that two signs are different.

Btw, this is what the guy did:

- He first went to the bank and asked for the cash against the cheque
- The bank guy tells him, you need to cancel “By Order” and get the sign of the owner
- Guy goes back, copies my sign and withdraws the cash

I never knew bank fraud is so easy.. only 3 steps..

Note: The bank in question is AXIS Bank, the branch is Chembur (Mumbai) branch.
