Activities

Well the last 3 weeks have been a mixture of Old and New - both Hindi and English. The Movie of the week is "Manorama - Six Feet Under". Director Navdeep Singh is too humble to accept that the movie has been influenced by Roman Polanski's "Chinatown".

The script is great. The actors portraying different roles are excellent. It is slow to start with but as it gradually gains pace, you will be hooked to your couches. There is twist at every turn and you are dying to know whats going to happen next. There are certain scenes, situations when the characters do not come off as genuine but that can be neglected.

I have discovered a great Indian Gem yesterday(read Guru Dutt). I am planning to watch some of his movies and see for myself the famous Guru Dutt Shot.

Happy Watching!!!!!
