HIStory ...

CHAPTER ONE --- THE LAST ACT ...... And the Italian brought a false expression of remorse on his face and said, "Mi dispiace amico! Wrong Answer... You're dead!" And now, the guy was a perfect case of a hopelessly lost cause. All that was left was a 'Click' and ' BANG ' ... HIS STORY would end in seconds... Now, they say that the fastest way to die/kill someone is through cyanide, but a bullet through the brains is not too goddarn slow either... A clear shot with a bullet piercing the brain can almost instantaneously end it for anyone.

Guzarish : A Magical Creation of a Genius

Well, I just watched the Best movie of the year 2010 ... And I must say its better than not just any Hindi movie, but also all the Hollywood movies of the year .... This One deserves to go to the Oscars and Win it too .... I m talking of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Magical Creation: GUZARISH The movie is Magic .... Literally !!! To all those who didn't like it ... Go get your hearts checked guys ... is it still in the right place .... To all those who haven't watched it ... Watch it guys ... don't miss out on it ... It is certainly worth it ... Now, I haven't seen Anand ... but seeing KHNH, I know know that these are movies that celebrate the spirit of life in the face of death ... But Guzarish is different ..... It is: The celebration of Life by embracing Death .... And there can be no better way to say it than through the vision of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the director behind the visions of Khamoshi and Black .... In a way, its the completion of his Trilogy.
