RA. One: Why is it over-rated?

Infinitely stupid and an arrogantly retard movie. Why? Because I had hopes? Naah. When it is SRK, I just hope a good Hindi copy of English movies. So just in that hope, I zip zap and zoomed to Wide Angle, a prominent theater of Ahmedabad. The moment I entered, I felt that I am going to see a big budget movie, full of VFX. And I was a bit confident that SRK may not excel in acting, but VFX wasn't his arena and hence I wished an adrenaline packed action!

Adrenaline? I needed an Aspirin. The entry video (mind it, Video!) is such a dumb piece of SRK type comedy, that within 1st five minutes, the films starts to get on your nerves. That too in such a way, that you start worrying that whether the film is going to start or not. Frankly speaking, I was a bit confused. I had heard of RA. One first and the last time, when it was declared that SRK was up-to something. My idea during the 1st scene was that maybe, as happens in Bollywood, Kareena might have been dropped out of it. But Sanjay Dutt wasn't there in my dreams! I was a bit baffled. But when I saw a copy of Batpod driven by our own SRK, I got that. The master copier was on the way. But that horrible dream of SRK's son (he was tooooo! :) Irritating! :( :P ) is, I mean, in no case it develops your interest in movies. Papa The Great chhaap comedy, sounds cliche.

Story is cliched. A father tries to prove a hero in his son's eyes. Purely imperfect. SRK doesn't strike a single chord, not even a besura taal, in his character of Shekhar Subramaniam. Accent is horrible and funnily mediocre. I can't understand why a South Indian is always postered as "Aiyai yo", "Yenna", "Appa" and "Rascala"? Why? It seems that RA. One was there to compete Robot in terms of IQ (Irritating Potential)! Mind blowing RA. One scored 300! :D

In the middle of torture, comes an interval. Post interval, the movie gains a momentum for a little time. But the script doesn't follow "Law of Conservation of Momentum" and turns to a momentary impulse, losing gravity and poking fun on its own script! Exalted. Why? Because that is probably the last straw on the camel's back. Kareena (I never liked her acting) is more funny when she gets emotional. That small kid, is an un-originally idiot "dood". Rampal is quite nice, contrary to my belief. And seriously, he is much much much better. Shahana Goswami, you are wasted. Sorry for you.

To sum up, SRK's movies are nothing else but a self sung melodies of praise and whose notes are copied from Western movies like TRON: Legacy, Terminator, Iron Man, Transformer, The Dark Knight (esp. that 1st Batpod scene) and what not. Too many cooks may spoil the broth, but it is okay, unless you have to pay heavily, like 2.5 hours and some Rs. 150. My verdict is that, people who say "We should praise an Indian film's effort" please make yourself comfortable in this hula-hoop of blatant sensationally promoted mindless, second-rated movie. Please SRK, do something original like Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, or Baadshah, but for God's sake, don't play with people's money. RA. One is nothing more than a thug movie, which robs not only your money but also your precious Diwali, mood, fun and jeers at the capability of an Indian movie's damn fool replica of several benchmark flicks!

iRequiem For An iDream

Requiem: A song or hymn of mourning composed or performed as a memorial to a dead person

Dream: Something which Steve Jobs redefined (without going to sleep)

There is something in the title of this blog, I hope which most of you might have understood. "i" is no longer just a letter. "i" is no longer in capitals. "i" is iPhone, "i" is iPod, "i" is iMac. "i" is Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs retired from Earth on October 5, 2011. I was shocked at 7am today (6 Oct.) when I saw in the headlines that Jobs quits Earth. Though I am neither any "i"-product user, but as many laymen, I have always been fascinated by them. It isn't that smooth scrolling of the iPhone, that touches your heart. It is the background of a two-time cancer patient's impatience towards innovation that steals the heartbeat. To idealize innovation is good and necessary, but to put innovation in practice is difficult. But DIFFICULT wasn't the word in Jobs iDictionary. He was a man with DIFFerent CULT.

As usual but with a heavy heart, I posted a tribute to Jobs in my ScientiFreak SMS channel. I was really sorry. I became much sorry when some messages reverted as "Who was he?", "Oh :(. Who is he?" It isn't just the ignorance of people. One cannot expect each common man having knowledge about such CEOs or Chairman. But then....Nothing.

Steve Jobs was admired widely for his extreme determination in fighting the cancer battle, twice (Liver and Pancreas). But what I liked the most of him was the innovation. You may have instances of numerous people who might have fought cancer with zeal, but Jobs wasn't one of them. He innovated till his death by placing an iPhone 4S in market. Many people will add that as a product gimmick or whatever, but I say, that "iPhone 4S" means an "iPhone 4Steve".

Apple's product are probably the most expensive consumer products (I have a dream to own a MacBook just because it is priced at >= 1 Lacs :) Wish me luck!) But the second you just see them (not even touching it), you will feel the ambiance of creation. You feel the aroma of a continuous dying spirit which may not be seen henceforth.

It isn't that only Apple has lost him. The entire Orange has also lost him. (Orange as described for the shape of Earth)

Well, who am i (should I write I or "i") to tribute such a great soul? No one pays a tribute to him. But yes, the coming years will hear a ring of a faint echo of Steve in the field of IT and Computers, when a force of invention will be felt to be at rest.

My quote for Steve:

"Steve Jobs hasn't died. He has just innovated himself from his ailing body to a cleaner and greater soul!"

R.i.P Jobs
