Good films we've had good films we've lost

There was nothing different about "Being Cyrus" yet we must give credit where its due. It did have a very good star cast and an unusual narration. It wasn't unlike so many Hollywood movies I have watched before, but it wasn't LIKE many Bollywood movies I have watched so far. That's where we give credit where its due.

Year before last we saw "Darna Mana Hai" People came out saying, 'big deal', 'tomato ghost' et al. But does anyone notice that these are the movies changing the face of Indian Cinema? It will take time to form a proper shape, but it happens a day at a time. I am being too liberal with time, for honestly it will happen with every passing minute, even second.

These are the movies that gives us a feel of movement. And what is life without movement. By movement I necessarily mean in the forward direction. Or, whats the difference between Shri 420 and Kuch kuch hota hai. Except the former was much better and was not a run of the mill for its time.

I always think it nice to be alive, today. This is the best age to live in India. What with being the youngest nation(and it matters), education on a high rise, and now our movies living up to our standards.

Suddenly feels good to be ALIVE!

For a change pls watch:
