ITS UNFAIR TO COMPARE





Bhool Bhulaiya(BB) is a remake of the Malayalam hit MANICHITRATHAZHU, and this is wat chandramukhi is about too ....

Its a remake in the complete sense... people who have watched both the movies ll realize that every scene is a copy of the original... with of course the spices added for the hindi audience...

Every review that i have read, be it in the friday review... or india today.... or outlook.... has given a thouroughly prejudiced outlook about the movie(about balan in particular)... which is unfair... it is a thriller for the ones watching it for the first time... and for others too....


Agreed it isn't a comic caper that is normally expected of accomplished storyteller Priyadarshan and aki duo...who have successfully delivered laughathons in the past that made the viewer go ha-ha-hee-hee-ho-ho.

BHOOL BHULAIYAA is all about suspense and spirits.


Vidya Balan deserves credit for the way she has played the role!!! both as the trendy modern wife and as the possessed psychopath... and as for the dance sequel... its natural... and shot well... Her eyes are expressive and dat does half the job for her... acting comes naturally to her... felt there were too many opinions against her... but accept it... she was way too good!!!
The movie did have the thrill factor and VIDYA(enga ooru ponnu) ROCKS!!!

The days dat whizzed past!!!




hmmm.... months have whizzed past... n it has been quite a ride for me... with so much happening in all quarters... only when i logged in today i realized its been pretty long since i blogged...




so where do i start???????


The INTRAMS was a much awaited event.. and it happened to clash with our external viva... we were told we might not be allowed to participate in the event!!! but then.. thanks to the determination of a few of the f5ers.. we went ahead with all that we had planned...we enjoyed the numerous discussions... and preparation for the girls footloose was fun too... i remember so vividly the last day when we were finishing their record work.. and they were trying out their dresses...







I thought we were rocking and deserved to win most( if not all) of the events... but GOD(!?!) knows why.. the judges thought otherwise... And then its afterall the participation... n the whole episode was taken in our stride...





The very next week.. we, the f5ers were off to bangalore... our industrial visit(!!!)... our first over night trip.. we boarded the late night train.. and the excitement just dint die down... we sat thru the night.. and teachers who accompanied us were a game too... the next day morning we were off to the industry... der was a presenation about the industry.. n we used that time to catch up on our precious sleep...












And after this visit... we were off to the mall... FORUM... an all time favourite of mine... we hit every eatery there....there was so much of shopping done and wen we got back to the room.. we put out all our purchaces... and the night really seemed to be young then... the next morning too we were up at 4 nad started playing games.. we called all our friends rooms.. rang thier door bells.. but they were fast asleep.. sad...












We were then off to Bhangarkata... we thought we would be taken for a ride and dat we wudnt get to see any of the animals.. but it was not to be... an experience i enjoyed... of course i was among the girls who dint want to make it to the zoo... and stayed back in the bus....

and after a really late lunch.. there was a heated discussion about where to go... the choices were iskon temple.. and commercial street... and at last we decided to go shopping... commercial it was... that was most awaited part of the trip.. we immediately split into groups.. went away for wat girls luv most... there was so much of stuff one cudnt resist.. and soon our bags were full...

and we decided we had to eat the chat der b4 we left... a bad decision i guess.. it started raining right after... and then the ever so polite guys of our class came searching for us(guess dey were sure we wudnt leave the place unless we were dragged out.. true!!! come on.. 2 hours is too little time to be spent on commercial street)... and we were asked to hurry back to the bus... the walk was pretty good.. but i still shudder at the thought.. wat if one of us had fallen into the open drainage or something?? the rain was pretty blinding... well.. thank heavens.. nothing of that sort happened....


the next day we were returning home... the train was at 4.. the return journey was good too.. that was when our pack of cards came out and we played many rounds of many games.... it was a memorable trip... wonderful memories.. wonderful times.....


back to college... it was time for our lab exams... the question on all our lips was output??/no output??? and then came the internals... thats the only time wen we actually have to study... but just cudnt set myself into that mood... maybe coz of the rains.. maybe coz of laziness.. but i skipped a few...
and now that its study hols.. time to once more enjoy life... time to reason out wat why and how some of the things that happened.. happened.. time to go blogging....
