What the hell !!! it happened again

So what was the result of the so called Nirbhaya Law passed by the Government of India? Did the sexual desire of the youths go down? What was the outcome of the candle light protest in India Gate? Did the Government take any stern measures? As it is, the answers to all questions is NO. It now seems like we live in a country whose other name should be the land of rapes. Sometimes, it is very disturbing to hear this kind of news. The brutal gang rape of the young journalist at Mumbai has left everyone shaken as nobody expected this type of incident in a city like Mumbai which till date was known as the safest place for girls.

Like every time the same drama followed in the aftermath of this incident. Candle light protests, ministers blaming each other and might be in the future come out with a blah blah act. Rape, nowadays has become almost like a daily routine. It was only due to the fact that this young journalist was from Mumbai and she has glared all the media attention. Who the hell cares about what is going on in other states or interior villages? It is one and the same; nothing has changed since January after the unfortunate death of the young girl Nirbhaya.

Girls are not secure in big cities and infact it is not about metro cities like Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. It is about the paralyzed government in our country that knows only how to pass a bill or law. Who gives a damn care about what happened to the miscreant who is involved in a heinous act such as rape. These people are caught and at the end are set free. Another peculiar characteristic of our law is a minor cannot be prosecuted. It is such a disgusting thing. A crime is a crime and no one should be spared.

Imagine the kind of trauma and pain the parents of the girl would be undergoing. We are helpless. We have sisters who study at colleges and wives who work outside. What about their safety? Should women stop from steeping outside the house only with the fear for being raped? No, if such things happen then the Government has no right to survive because a government, no matter what party it is which cannot afford to offer protection to women has no right to govern.

I just want to end it by saying that incidents like this are very disturbing. We call our country Mother India. We refer her as a female. But incidents like this show how much disrespect we are showing to her.

Chennai Express Movie Review

Director: Rohit Shetty

Cast: Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone

And it is the same bollywood ishtyle romantic movies where happy endings are not a new thing. Rohit Shetty starrer Chennai Express is a rom com with a tinge of South Indian tadka in it. The director has for the first time paired up with the king of romance Shah Rukh khan and Deepika Padukone after delivering an array of comedy films and one action film.

The story of the film revolves around the life of Rahul and Mennamma who meet with each other in Chennai Express and ultimately fall in love. Rahul, a 40 year old guy is bored with life and want to start a new phase of life after the death of his grandfather who unfortunately died at the age of 99. So, he is all ready to go to Rameshwaram to throw away the ashes of his grand father and after that start his business in Goa. Well, in the process of doing so he boards a train and ultimately ends up meeting a south Indian girl Meenamma who is chased by her four cousins to prevent her from eloping away in Pune so that she could avoid the marriage that her Periathali(meaning DON in tamil) father has fixed up with another Don of Khumban village.

 Shahrukh khan in his typical romantic hero style try to woo Deepika but ultimately realizes the fact that he rather needs to be really cautious as her big and huge brothers are always by her side. Trouble erupts at that time when Mennamma tells her father that she is already engaged to Rahul and they are about to get married. Niktin Dheer plays the baddie in the film who is the chosen groom by her father. And as it is in most of the Bollywood movies there is a fight in the end between the hero and villain where however tall and strong the villain is but the hero ultimately wins.

Rohit shetty has very beautifully captured the exotic beauty of the south Indian village Khumban at Tamil and has portrayed on screen beautifully. You will be mesmerized by the wonderful beauty of the place in the movie. Shahrukh khan and Deepika Padukone both do justice to their respective roles, no doubt in that. Hats off to Deepika for mastering  the Tamil accent as she proves that she is really not a Bokwas when it comes to playing roles of a different genre.

You will laugh your heart out in the first half of the film due to the funny rendition of Shahrukh’s Tamil accent but the second half of the film is equally emotional and romantic.

As far as music is concerned, Vishal-Shekhar combo has always been a hit. The foot tapping item song 1234 is wonderfully choreographed. You will feel the romance in the air with Titli and don’t leave your seat with the film is complete coz there is more to watch of the lungi dance. Through out the film, they have humorously used songs of various Bollywood films coz it is the only way through which Rahul and Mennama can communicate.

Well, if you are getting bored on a Sunday, then Chennai Express is a film you can watch with your family. If you are a film buff, then sorry it has nothing special to offer.
