Unlike father, the son



Watched raavanan.... Definitely a good movie in terms of its picturisation but overall i feel that maniratnam spend 2 years to make a movie which lacked a good script. The fact that such a script cannot be manipulated much. But vikram has done a pretty decent job and prithviraj too. Now moving towards the hindi version of raavan it bombed as expected. The much over rated prodigal son of Big B again failed to make a an impact. After acting in 30 odd films there may be a couple of hits he has delivered single handedly. But i admire the love of amitabh bachan for his son as he has always lend his relentless support to his son 'jisko acting aathi nahi'..... Being a big fan of big B i always used to admire him as a tremendous actor. But in his attempt to establish his son's career tarnished his own image as his influence was used to get abhishek movies which he was never worth for. By all means he does not have an ounce of talent that amitabh has. The only role which suits him is the supporting actor role. Mani ratnam , by now must have realised that abhishek bachan does not possess the ability to save him. Raavan salvaged some pride only because of the tamil version. On the other side Hrithik roshan has oodles of talent and has only added feathers to the hats of rakesh roshan. His father in law Sanjay khan takes great pride in saying that Hrithik is his son in law. No actor might have survived after 25 flops but yet abhishek bachan has thanks to his superstar father.

Big B of late has done a commendable job by making comebacks and acting in senior roles. He might have flopped here and there but god given talent can never be taken back. RGV ki aag was one film he should have never done. The scenes in which he acts like tiger is simply pathetic. No wonder why the film bombed. When you see raavan you might have felt that abhishek bachan was trying simply too hard to look ferocious but only to look rather awkward and silly. It felt like some sober fellow was trying to pretend like a macho. By taking up such roles abhishek is continuously proving his critics right that he does not know how to act. It is better for him not to tarnish the image of his hugely gifted parents and should concentrate on other areas such as direction or production. Leave the audience of watching him over and over again in the television and making one more excuse to hate aiswarya rai....

Classic finals on the cards


2010 world cup offered all any neutral wanted to see. Most of the fans who thought that argentina or brazil might have won the cup were in despair as they faltered in the quarter finals. The amazing run of germany was the main feature of this world cup as they shattered the hopes of england and argentina thrashing them ruthlessly. But the finals seems to be a sparkling contest as the first time in history spain have reached the finals. Holland has reached the finals twice only to falter at the final hurdle. They are out there to make the records straight. Spain began their campaign as favourites and are one step away to prove it right.

Both the teams have never won the world cup so it would be an intriguing final and a great one for the neutral. I am as eager to watch the finals as every one are .May the best team win.
