Halla Bol Review

Halla Bol is a war-cry used to create an awakening.

A small town god-fearing soul, a simpleton, Ashfaque Khan(Ajay Devgan), acts in street plays to bring about social awakening and also chases his dream to become a film star. Siddhu (a strident Pankaj Kapur) is his director & mentor while Sneha (Vidya Balan) is his love interest.

Destination Mumbai….the struggle. Finally, he gets his first break in movies after sacrificing his one rule in life “not to lie”. Sameer Khan, a star is born! Along with glory of stardom comes endorsements, wealth and splendor. Soon, he crosses the line of morality, by taking on double standards, arrogance, conceit. At one of the Page 3 parties, he witnesses the murder of Rashmi Sahni, an upcoming actress, by the sons of powerful politicians. Everyone keeps quiet as they let the culprits walk away. So does Sameer Khan.

The shock of witnessing the murder stirs his “zameer” and propels him back to his “Halla Bol” days. He names the killers and is promptly targeted by the goons working for the “moneybags” (Gaikwad and a Mallya lookalike). This results in mass hysteria and the common man then takes to the streets, slogans etc.

Brilliant performances by the lead actors & crisp, hard-hitting dialogues are the highlights of the film

The movie may not exactly set the cash registers ringing. Nevertheless, it is a sincere attempt by Rakjumar Santoshi to convey a strong social message and definitely needs to be applauded.

Vikram's 'Bheema'

The climax of 'Bheema' affected me, I agreed to act in the film. But there were so many complications before the film could be released. I did not sign on any

other film in these two years. If I had done 2 or 3 films in this period, I could have earned at least 10 crores.

But I had so much confidence in 'Bheema' that I did not sign on any other film. There were similar hassles before 'Sethu' got released too. Even then, I did not

undergo so much misery like now. For the wrong that someone else has done, I had to take the punishment in 'Bheema.'

The accolades the film has received now is like balm for my wounds. A fellow actor complimented me that this film was even better than 'Anniyan.' The distributors

The woman in your life...very well expressed...

This is a beautiful article:

The woman in your life...very well expressed...

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,
a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as
to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply
Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important,
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this......

Please appreciate "HER"

I hope you will do....

A Smile is a language everybody understands

It cost's nothing but creates much
