certainity.....

It’s happening again. No am not talking about me going back to my secluded lonely alter ego. Nor am blabbering about yet another victim of my sarcastic mind games. It’s the predictions I have been making lately. Seems Bejaan Daruwalaa’s rare foresight of future prediction is temporarily shifted its origin to me.

When I was a kid, I heard someone say “Beta, hameshaa Achha bola karo aur Achha socha karo. Din main Ik baar jubaan pe Saraswati Mata Baith ti hain, aur jo bolo woh sach ho jaata hai”. I used to think, What if I leave all my studies and 24 hours just keep chanting “God, I want to be a billionaire”, it will be enough right? That’s what Ravana and his brothers did , and got those impeccable powers from Brahmaa. But ahh, that was too tough. I mean how can someone think about just 1 thing whole day? 24 hours that is. So, I left the thought and erased it from my mind, although moving it to recycle Bin.

It started with IPL. That one thing where we Indians were calling the shots, we were paying others and we set the rules and everyone just obeyed. I was at home when it started. I was supporting Bangalore in the opening match (obvious loyalty, and tell me who supports Bongs except, may be Bongs and pimps?) And they lost miserably. Next morning I reached Bangalore.2-3 days passed and again Kolkata won. Just looking at the face of Kolkata supporters was making me crazy, and hence I betted on Kolkata not qualifying for SemiFinals. I declared that day itself, Delhi, Chennai,Punjab and Jaipur will be in Semis. And Jaipur will win. Predicting 40 days in advance was risky but I was adamant. I stood by my prediction and I think even God was in no mood to spoil the party. I thought it was normal since I have friends who predicted for other 4 teams and none qualified.

Then came the rounds of prediction ranging from TASHAN’s failure, to India’s defeat against Pakistan (I just want people to see, we still need SACHIN even to beat a second grade Pakistani side), to “it wont rain” on a particular weekend, and so on. But I believe to do a reality check of my new powers; I decided to predict the outcome of EURO 2008. Why? It’s the biggest thing in the world, perhaps only after Soccer world cup. So here is what I predicted. A dream final between Germany & Spain. I have came too close. With Germans in the final and Spain charging their batteries to run over the confident Russian side, it’s the time to predict the winner. Who else but the biggest underachievers, Chokers, of all time. SPAIN. And if I am proved right, Spain indeed wins, then I am leaving this job and starting my own “ Bhavishya batao corporation ltd.” (BBCL).

Sarkar Raj ka raaj

Terminator2 and godfather2 are the best sequels ever made in cinematic history. Not even LOTR( the twin towers) or Matrix reloaded could supersede the prequel. So technically I was not expecting Sarkar Raj to be better than sarkar or for that matter Shiva, kaun, Satya, Company or any other Ramu's classics. And I am glad to say Ramu proved me right.
Plot:
So here you have Chotta B taking over the Kursi once belonging to his now-i-am-old-my-son-is-better dad BigB akka SARKAR. In the same manner as the story unfolds in Sarkar 1, some goons, some politicians aspiring to dethrone the Almighty Sarkar, gang up along with NRI businessmen and his sexy daughter (who by the way is CEO of a powerplant company willing to invest a whooping 200000 crores of Rupees in Maharashtra). Plot complexes with father and son wanting the progress of Maharashtra agrees for the project, only to know at the end that all this was a plan to kill Chotta B and dethrone Sarkar, by none other than Sarkar's very own friend, philosopher and guide Rao sahab. In between are killings, Kidnapping, dangaas, and same old crap of power politics, betrayal and deciet by the ones you trusted the most. Story ends with chotta B dead and Big B killing all involved in his death.Whats new in this?
Problems
I don't know why Mr. Ramu uses wierd camera angles although for a straight forward shot.Add to it an irritating background score, some utterly stupid characters of Govind namdev, and that gujrati Businessman ,plus what I am still not able to understand is whynobody in this movie talks in simple understandable language. They either just shoot one liners or a mamoth dialogue.What else, even Action and bloodbath is unengaging and overdone.

And i dont know how come every time a member of Sarkar family is killed, the left sarkar be it chotta aur bada, unwinds the whole master plan in 10 odd minutes which director painstakingly build in almost 2 hours and that too without moving a finger.
And how come The NRI kudi, leaving all his CEO thing behind is shown as The NEW SARKAR. Agreed she is your Bahu Mr. Bachchan, but in real life not in the movie.She was not even part of original Sarkar, neither does the sudden transformation of her chracter justifiable. And what about cheeku, the only male heir left in Sarkar family. May be Cheeku's power battle with CEO kudi is the plot for Ramu's Sarkar raj ka Raj.
