WANTED is POKIRI


Though I am not a big fan of Salman Khan, but have been enjoying his DUS KA DUM on Sony Entertainment Television Channe latelyl.   When my wife told me that Sridevi along with Boney Kapoor will be the guests  in Sep 19th episode of DUS KA DUM, I made sure that I am back home by 9pm to watch the show just for Sridevi.  Sri made appearance on screen after 10 years.  She was stunningly beautiful at the age of 46.  Though I felt she was a bit uncomfortable in the show, and she could not understand some of the Salman’s  Pranks in typical Hindi Estyle.  But I think Boney Kapoor managed very well for both of  them.   Other 2 guest were Prabhu Deva and cute Ayesha Takia Azmi. 

Before the start of the show, Sony showed an trailer of "WANTED" and that was the first time I watched the full trailer of the movie.  And after seeing it I was 100% sure that its POKIRI.  And during the episode, it was confirmed when Boney Kapoor said that the movie is filmed in Hyderabad.  Pokiri was a smashit and I have watched it about half-dozen time so far.  It has great one liner by Mahesh Babu, and cameo-villain role by multi-talented Prakash Raj.  I think only Prakash Raj could have done villain role in WANTED.  Boney could have tried with Mahesh instead of Salmaan, but my guess is that Mahesh would have rejected his offer.  After watching Mahesh Babu’s OKKADU, ATHADU and POKIRI, I must say that even Bollywood stars cannot compete with him in STYLE. 

During the show, Film Director Prabhu Deva made a dance move which got a roaring applause from the studio crowd.  Will have to watch the movie to see how Salman has done the same move in the film.   I think the credit should go to Sridevi for bringing Prabhu Deva and Prakash Raj to Bollywood Screen in a big way.  Prabhu Deva has done some special appearance role, but looks like this is his biggest break as a Director.  And I am 100% sure that Hindi Audience will love Prakash Raj in this film.   Salman was at his usual in the episode and played jokes on Prabhu Deva, which Prabhu (being such a humble person) took it very lightly.  Then SALMAN said to audience that in case Prabhu Calls him as guest in Tamil Version of DUS KA DUM…THO PRABHU TO MERI BAND BAJA DEGA….

After watching Sri on screen after many many years, I think she is quite ready for a comeback.   And the comeback would be more memorable if she teams up with either Amitabh or Madhuri Dixit.

Buying vs Exchanging 1


How many of you like shopping? I am pretty sure that many would say yes and I am 100% sure that everyone will say that they like window shopping. Many of us like to go to malls, big or small. Bangloreans like to go to Forum, Delhites to Ansal Plaza, Chennaites to Chennai City Center, Hyderabadis to Hyderabad Central, Mumbaites to Infinity Mall. Most of us return home from window shopping. Some of us do buy stuff by paying more. I never like shopping in malls. To me they are pricey. I would go to the pre-mall era shops and still find good quality items at cheaper price. Irrespective of where we buy, have you dared to return items you did not like after couple of weeks. Most of the stores don’t accept returns even if their tags are intact. You would argue with shop owners and even fight with them and some shoppers even win at the cost of high blood pressure. Is it worth enough? I would say no, not at the cost of your health. Those who are unable to return items, keep it with them for ever not knowing what to be done. They would think why they cannot exchange this for something else and save some money. Hey everyone likes to save money. Have you every thought of trading items without money? Now you can do that in our site. Len-Den.com provides an easy way of swapping items. It gives you freedom in shopping for new items and without worrying that in case you don’t like item, you can always swap it with other items. This way you are not junking items and helping "earth go green."
