Preface And I SAY WHAT A YEAR this has been! Well, okay, to be fair, we still had quite a lot of nonsense this year... but hey, you know we're speaking of Bollywood. With the "Great" comes the "not-so-good" movies! On that note, let's proceed to the Top 10 highest grossers of Bollywood this year (List taken from Wikipedia on 29 December 2013 ) Chennai Express Dhoom 3 (still running at the time of the writing of this post) Krrish 3 Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela Bhaag Milkha Bhaag Grand Masti Race 2 Aashiqui 2 Special 26 Which ones, for you, were deserving to be in this list? You can think about it, and most importantly, keep it for yourself . Ponder for a minute over what just happened. For all the undeserving ones, replace them with some new Hindi flicks you wanted to see there. Got my point? That is what criticism is all about. It is not about giving a movie 4 and half stars for the sake of the box office. Espe...

Disclaimer: My blog, my space, my choice. Deal with it. Hateful comments will be deleted with pleasure! Preface "Oh Kohli is so Handsome" "Dhawan's moustache is sexy" "Dhoni is so COOL" "Yuvraj is TOO GOOD, man" NO! For Heaven's sake... we are about to play a T20 World Cup, it's not a fashion show. Ah well, just have a look at the squad I would opt for, in this massive tournament played in Bangladesh.

1. Naughty Boy - La La La (the winner) Will not say more. Play it on loop, and see the double meaning behind the simple lyrics. It can heal the most painful pain, the most sad sadness. But that smile that comes afterwards...it smiles. Simple. 2. When I Was Your Man - Bruno Mars A painfully beautiful track. But soothing in its after effect.. 3. One More Night - Maroon 5 The beats are infectious. And the lyrics are powerfully true. At least I can relate to them! 4. Roar - Katy Perry Katy Perry gives us her best with this one. If she can come to India for an IPL Opening Ceremony, she can eventually even sing a song for Bollywood. Are you hearing me AR Rahman? Hehe. Post dedicated to my sister Supriya, and my "Sandy-sister" Mayuri. Love you all, have a great end of 2013. Make 2014 YOUR year... but before that make sure, 2013 ends on a great note. Cheers.

Hello Readers! Now that I've caught your attention, please continue to read ok? (Hehe) This is one is mainly dedicated to my sweet father, my passionate mother and my awesome sister. And obviously to all those well-wishers all around me. I have been working on these two covers since quite some time. Check it out, and get back to me when you can. Love and regards to all of the ones who mean a lot to me. Let me list them here, by name if possible: - Those who make me smile - Those who make me laugh - Those who have been there for me (for a long time, or for a short period) - The people who bonded with me on a very fun level - Those who made me cry, but made me feel light and gave me a shoulder to cry on - Those who inspire me - Those who support my family - Those who make my parents happy - Those who make fun of my sister in order to make her smile - Those who call me Santa, and who know the importance of such a nickname eventually Well I did say "if possible...

  Introduction Ladies and Gentlemen, 2013 is coming to an end. Wait, you knew? Ok, I think you knew. But what cinema-goers and music lovers do not realize, is that the year has sadly come to an end for Bollywood. We have had a bit of everything this year, to be honest. From a silly "Chennai Express" to a beautiful "Aashiqui 2". Eventually we also had "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", but we also had an undeserving "Grand Masti". Thankfully, the year ends with a BANG. Got the joke? No? Let me try again. "2013 will end with a DHOOM". Is that fine now? I think so... Anyway, keeping aside the various puns and jokes worthy of an Aamir Khan movie, let me just say that Pritam has given us a "feasty buffet" to participate in. We have a bit of 'Malang', we have some Arabic Dhoom Machale as well. The dessert is also very tasty with Julius Packiam's instrumental. And that will be the point of this music review. It ...
