Review: Chennai Express; The end of an era of King Khan?

The end of an era of King Khan?
Review of Movie
Chennai Express
Release Date: August 08, 2013
Star-Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Nikitin Dheer, Priyamani, Sathyaraj.
Director: Rohit Shetty

There is always a debate "if SRK should try releasing his movies on non-festival time to find out how well his movies really do in market?" After getting his last movie Jab tak hai Jaan getting released in diwali, SRK's red chilly is back with Chennai Express. To support him, director is a man who has given back to back hit in last few years, Rohit Shetty. In few of his interviews Rohit himself had expressed his happiness of being able to work with Shah Rukh Khan. Same Feelings should have gone through SRK also, especially when his movies were not appreciated by Audience. In somewhat, Chennai Express was suppose to bring back his stardom and clear the doubt if King Khan Era is in stake (if any had). So the film is out and hopefully verdict will be released through words of Viewers within next few days.

Let me start with plot.

Rahul's (Shah Rukh Khan) Grandfather has his last wish, to get ashes of his decomposed body to be deposited in two different rivers; first one is Ganga where Rahul's Grandmother goes away while the second one is Rameshwaram. Rahul and his friends have a plan to do 'bisarjan' in Goa. Rahul takes the train Chennai Express hoping he will un-board at kalyan, but arrival of Meena or Meenamba( I am sorry if I am spelling it wrong, (Deepika Padukone) inside the compartment prevents him to go away. Meena was running away from her father to be escape marriage but her father's man take both of them to their village. To be saved from marriage, she lies that Rahul and She Love each other. They are welcomed to home but being unaware of Tamil language, Rahul invites few other troubles. The rest of the story is all about quarrel between SRK and deepika, run and chase, few actions, little romance and an attempt to make emotional ending (Not sure if it is succeeded)

Pros of the movie.

SRK has tried giving his good performance for the movie (but not sure if he himself counts it as one of his best acting). As a 40 years old bachelor in the movie (quite nearer to his actual age), he has done a very good job. Deepika Padukone is undoubtedly the best things to be noticed in Chennai Express and her role seems more appealing even than of SRK. While she has worked very hard for her Tamil tune, her acting is fabulous. Other supporting actor is good with their role as most of the time they speak in Tamil only.

The direction of Rohit Shetty is another thing to be noted here though Chennai Express is not among those action packed movies he had directed in last few years. Few of Car Blows and little action are interesting to watch out, but there are not so much of actions here (as you might expect from Rohit Shetty's movie). But nonetheless, his other attempts like comedy work to some extent.

The other best part of movie is photography of beautiful nature. Early from the journey of train, beautiful scene is neatly captured. Shots are taken in such a place that you will just keep saying, 'wow... what a beautiful place'. The halt of train at Deepika's place, the village, The sea-scenario in second half, Tea Garden during one of song, Shot of Rameshwaran bridge and many such which you can't count. People will be able to see the beautiful part of Incredible India.

  Music are at average. The song "Kashmir mai to kanyakumari" is best among them. Other songs are pretty good and you will like them though there are not much songs. The background tune and other sound factors are good.

Cons

one of the bad point of this movie is SRK himself (Sorry for SRK fan who might be targeting this review in comment box, but it is true). His acting, his voice and his comedy keeps showing that the role of DDLJ no more fits on him. His name might bring audience towards theatre,  Action works to some extent, but not much that movie can leave positive response to get praise of words from viewers. So SRK himself may not be willing to remember this movie after some days. Not to forget, Chennai Express is in talk because of Rohit Shetty's also, So had it not been Rohit direction and Deepika's role, movie would have suffered on huge amount.

Comedy doesn't works with movie. Some old punch of jokes, Some weird acting aren't good enough to save the movie though Hindi antakshiri gives some laugh to audience. Romance starts only after half an hour of second half. The first half is boring on most of the time and same continues in second half. Still, Last 30 minutes is the duration where movie picks up including romance, beautiful song and the climax.

There is no such special plot to be mentioned in the story. It looks dull in overall. No twist expected anywhere in the story and story is like a common romance movie. Audience can even sleep for 15 minutes, wake up, still they will understand the complete story. I wish there was some twist or some good story within the movie.

Most part of the movie is shot on Tamil. So I wish there was subtitle on those time where Tamil was spoken. Character speak Tamil and audience can only keep wondering what might be its meaning.

My conclusion

This movie is answer to SRK that he should try something other than love story and he should give an attempt to release the movie other than festival season. No doubt that his contribution in Bollywood is widely accepted and he is considered as King Khan, but it's a time for a break and he needs to perform something like Chak de India as he is no more Rahul of DDLJ and KKHH.

And we audience keep missing the good movies just to wait for movies of star. It has happened that movies released during festival get a good run in box-office though they are not good enough, and we neglect very good movies which will surely decrease the motivation for good creatives. We are mature enough to judge what is good and what is wrong, and if we won't do it, when we will do it?

My rating 1.5 out of 5. (for the climax, Scenario and Song)

Recommendation:- No (because it's too boring on first half and you will be disappointed with SRK)

~Someone Like you: Book Review~

Review Type: Book Review

Book Title: Someone Like you

Writer:  Nikita Singh, Durjoy Datta

Released: Feb 2013

College life are the one where we experience transformations in our life. We get many friends in our life who come to us as strangers but they leave a huge mark in our life to live in our heart for upcoming times. Success, failures and Struggling keeps happening while fame and criticism are inseparable part. While some of our mistakes may keep hunting us in time to time; there will be glorious moments to stay memorable for rest of the time.

After their huge success of first Co-authored Book, If its not forever; Nikita Singh and Durjoy Datta have published ’Someone like you’ , this time with thePenguin India. They have kept story tagline of book as’Friendship, Love and Betrayal’. Unlike their earlier book ’If its not forever’ , , the first person in this book is a girl which makes ’Someone Like you’ a readable story of  ’Niharika’ and her friends.

Story plot

Niharika is a an average looking girl of Jaipur who has to join engineering college in few days time. Her Sister Simran, Studying in New Delhi wants her to visit before college starts. Few days in Delhi transforms Niharika from a specs girl to beautiful and above average girl. Looking at the way Viraat (Simran’s boy friend) cares them, she has an urge to get someone like him. Just few days before joining her new college, she mets Akshat,a handsome and rich guy in Jaipur. In short time, she likes him and she feel he really cares about her.

As she reaches her new College, She find her days along with Tanmay a kid looking shy guy and Pia as her roommate cum class friend. Karthik , her college seniors helps these 3 guys, especially Tanmay in getting to College Football team. As Tanmay starts getting success in football, some incident occurs to shake their life and story  goes ahead.

My view

When a girl writes the fiction; she has her own sets of protocol to follow. No doubt the content of book will be girlish,  still the book has something to tell for her readers, especially girls of their generation rather than just entertainment found in book of some male writer. Someone Like you is the similar story written from Girl Perception where Nikita Singh along with Durjoy Datta write about the average looking girl Niharika and her college time, her dilemma regarding Akshat and karthik, her friendship with Tanmay and Pia and also about other relationships they exists within us. Most part of the story is clean and neatly written unless in some clashing incidents where story is written as like of real life.

If you have read their earlier books, you can distinguish which parts are writtnen by Nikita and which are written by Durjoy Datta. So within the book , we can find two different way of writing. The most of the part is written by Nikita herself though. There are some other stage where She has focused trying to convey hidden messages for her reader, especially from the relationship between Niharika and Akshat and between Pia and Vishal.

Initially story looks like it is long by 50 pages, but as it goes ahead, the incident falling at proper time well justifies length of book though i felt It could have been shorten by 10-20 pages. story starts with Niharika as average looking girl with very few boys around but things are not the same once she returns from Delhi and attends the college in Nagpur. Nikita attempt to show Relation between sisters, Friendship and Revenge for Betrayal are different then her earlier stories which she has penned. She has wisely  undisclosed about whom Niharika will fall for, till almost end part of Book

Some incident which Niharika is unknown about are included in quoted form as if Narrator is explaining the plot. So two quoted chapters in fiction adds a value to the climax. Story might not be suspense in many way and predictable in many instances, yet it is worthy to read if you have been reading their books. If you are the one who feel Durjoy Datta and Nikita Singh are not the writer you read, then you may skip this one. Overall the language are simple and understood in one easy go.

One of the best part of their last Book, "If its not forever" was that it was good from the literature part also, which writers are writing it in simple way and hardly any creativity are poured from the literature aspects. The description of any person, their look or their quality are just simple. Few poems or some good lines could have been used to make a book better, So this is where the book is lacking and at times you feel bore while going through 248 pages. In other way, it is just one time read where you hardly want to re-read once you are finished with it.

Conclusion:- 
Though writing about Love and Relationship in college life is ongoing trend; incident happened in plots are different than of earlier fiction. It is not of the level of If its not forever as that one was really interesting, still it is good enough. The 248 pages long Book is a good piece of creation and reflects understanding of readers by both of the writers. It would have been better if good literature, some good poems were included

If someday any bollywood director approaches to make it a movie, it will be powerful one.

My rating 
3 out of 5 (As it could have been more powerful with extra added thrilling plot within the same number of pages)

Book Review: The Promise By Nikita Singh

The Promises and Life After...

Review of: Book

Book Title:- The promise
Writer: Nikita Singh

As the relation goes on smoothly and as we find ourselves deeply involved with each others; there comes a planning for future. With those planning, their come Promises. Promises to be with each other and be part of each other in every of the coming days, either in the miserable phase or the greatest romance. Promises are made hoping they last for lifetime, but if broken, things might be different. Life might be somersaulted and cohesive relation may turn again to strangers.

Nikita Singh after the massive success of her book ’If it’s not forever...’ love story cum suspense book co-authored with Durjoy Dutta had released another book in first week of January. This time she has written a romance fiction plotted in city of Madhya Pradesh ’Indore’. The readers don’t have suspense of stories during this book, yet worth reading for few of the plot Nikita has written.

Plot
 

Sambhavi is a simple girl with her own ideas of life. She has complexity and struggle; yet she is cheerful and energetic. In one of her main project in Interior designing, she met with Arjun; rich and owner of one of the well established furniture. Though Arjun has a huge fame, large money, he is hardworking and isolated. Along with time, they met with each other. In some time, they make promise to fulfill every other promise. But a moment occurs in both of them where Arjun finds himself in the same stage as he was years ago just to find Life and Relations are not as easy as we think they are.

How are promises fared there after? How their life changes and to what they can understand each other? This is all about Promise, a simple Book where you won’t find any thrilling experience but worthy to read; to inspire and to be inspired.

My view
 

I remember, somebody had said me recently, "Promises are not to be mere in words, they are to be fulfilled through actions as time demands." Well Said. In many of the moments, sometime because of our past and sometime because of our future, we forget the promise we have taken. We fail to fulfill them and Life can be disaster after that. The boy and his group of friends blames girl while the same happens other side. The Game of Blame keeps going on without knowing both have failed in relation and for reconciliation, both need to understand each other.

Nikita Singh has well-utilized the theme of this Book. Romans are always fascinating, but she has shown the cost life can bear from them. In simple reading one can understand the book. As we go through the book after halfway, there comes two plots which are unexpected for sure and they are the incident that fiction travels through. She has not added only problems but the solutions too. She has framed life of Sambhavi in different struggling part and that is for sure going to be ’points to be noted’ or ’ a small step for the change’.

Though the book is focused on the life of Girl, She has not outlined a Guy views in fiction. She has been unbiased and she has shown life from Boy’s perception too. She has focused on his loneliness, his past, his views and also his desire to fulfill the promises. So Book is going to be Good read.

Conclusion-

In her fourth fiction Book, Nikita has shown maturity of writing which she can give her best in coming days. Books could have been better than it is but theme of the book is something which very few writers in modern Indian fiction have written about. Though Book goes very slow and can be boring in first 50 pages but as it reaches the plot, interests are generated. I liked the decency of languages she has used as it is readable. Thank you Nikita for Special care of this.

Hope to see your books will not only be part of entertainment but may they also include thoughts which can bring some good changes in society especially for the contribution of woman.
 

All the best.

My rating 3 out of 5

Movie Review: Son of Sardaar

Movie Review- Son of Sardar-

Diwali 2012, Two Big Movies got released. The pre-release clashes between the production houses regarding the screening of movie were the other unintentional publicity. Whatever be the past, both movies got released: one was filled with beautiful romance while the other was supposed to be comedy action packed. Jab tak hai Jaan (JTHJ) had surely the extra edge because of its hidden plot while Son of Sardaar (SOS) is the remake of southern movies. So in the case of SOS, the plot was partially revealed and one can surely guess what would be its ending. Choosing SOS in place of JTHJ was tough, still because Ajay Devgan has always been one of my favorite actors, I decided to give SOS a try.

Story Plot:-
Jassi  Sikh -boy  (Ajay Devgan ) stays in London    but as he gets the letter of government regarding his property, he travels to his native place to sell the property. In the train from New Delhi, he meets Sonakshi Sinha (Suk). They get friends with each other on the way. In the village, He also meets  Sanjay Dutt who in much wait of Jassi for the revenge of his uncle’s murder done by Jassi’s Father. Unknowingly Sanjay Dutt takes Ajay to his home, just to know in later time that  Jassi was the one they were looking for. According to the family tradition, enemies were well-respected inside the house but would be killed as soon as they come out. As Ajay gets to know it, he makes several excuses to not to come out of house. This is how film goes on...

My views
As well known by all, SOS as a remake of south-Indian movie, the story plot is no-where hidden. More-ever the climax is guessable as it is family drama. Still, within this range Movie is watchable and can be enjoyed with its comedies and few actions. The starting fight and Salman Khan coming for sometime is exciting while Ajay-Sonakshi conversation in train is filled up with comedy. Chases in different part of movie are fantastic while different comedies inserted within chases will give you enough laughs. Funny lines of Sanjay Dutt is noticeable (though you feel Sanjay Dutt speaking on such way is repetition of his earlier movies. Ajay’s action throughout the movie like fight while riding horse and action before the climax is indeed a crowd puller.

Cons of the movie
Still, movie doesn’t works up to the expectation. There are no many such action and I wished movie would’ve been better had Rohit Shetty directed it. The first action of the movie and few other stunts can’t be easily believed and looks a mere work of fiction though it is enough exciting. Once there was news that Ajay had performed the stunt of riding two horses at a time but seems it was deleted from final print of movie. Comedy in first half is a bit ok while second half goes down until the time Sonakshi is taken for engagement. Love story does create some good moment during the movie but it could have been made much better. Music in the regular interval especially in the second half is quite boring as the songs are not up to the mark and songs flavor look similar in the entire movie (barring the start and end song).

Performance
Ajay’s have performed well in this movie; especially during his stunts he is watchable.  He has successfully played comedy role. Sonakshi has performed beautifully in the entire part of the movie while Juhi Chawla’s role as fiancée of Sanjay Dutt can’t be sidelined. Sanjay Dutt in himself had played the antagonist role in Agneepath and he has shown his best in comedy cum antagonist part. Two cousin of Sanjay Dutt have played well and so have the entire crew. In all, movie is well-played within their best by the entire crew, but few more good works from behind the camera could have movie better.

Conclusion
Overall, Movie is a good entertainer. Had it not clashed with JTHJ, movie would have been hit as Ajay’s earlier movie Bol-Bachhan. I found it better than Bol-Bachhan but not as much as Singham (may be its personal flavor and taste). There are no flaws within the Direction but Rohit Shetty and his huge sounds during action are being missed here. Story could have been better and few unexpected climax would have made movie a better piece as it is now, still not to forget, this is the essence of SOS that every time you watch, you will laugh and enjoy the movie.
Good one, but surely not the best. I wish when Ajay can be seen with new story line of the movie (not the remake of old movies).

Ajay fans will enjoy while to fullest while critics will also write against the movie. For others, it will be just the average movie



My rating: 2.75 out of 5.

Flipkart.com The Store for Online Delivery

 
 Flipkart.com The Store for Online Delivery

Product type- Online Store
Delivers Around - All India 

 Though this review is based on my personal experience of last one and half years, my views can differ from person to person more specifically person living in cities other than metro. So, I will be happy to get your views, comments and rating whatever and however they are.





The online store was never so popular in India earlier. The existence of Indiatimes.com and Rediff shopping was just for the name shake as very few people were satisfied from their service. More ever, the delivery charge, however large be the consignment, were been charged separately as handling charge. The online Store were hardly equipped with varied things till the time Flipkart.com arrived in Indian Market to established its status as Online Mega Store being compared with like of Amazon.

Getting the correct product

Flipkart.com is online store where various things are available. From Books to Music, Mobiles to Laptop and other general accessories are found on flipkart. So, flipkart search algorithm are designed on such a way that they are so easy to find a suitable item. You can refine the search as per the brand and your need and this will help you to reach the correct product. More ever, I personally like the Product description I get in flipkart more than of any online website. The Rating for a product can reflect the rough sketch of usefulness of product to be bought though it is just a feedback rating from buyer. Reviews are available there, but they may not be so genuine for correct decision.

Compare, select and get it in your home.

Website browsing speed is very good and construction of website is user-friendly. Its ’compare’ feature helps to choose a better one among the other. As product is decided, we can choose the mode of payment for purchase. In almost all products, the availability of cash on delivery is the one that gives every customer some risk free purchase.

Let me point out some of the good and bad things about flipkart in details other than mentioned above.

1) Their self couriers : as I found in Mumbai and Delhi, flipkart has its own courier to deliver the goods. This makes the delivery effective and good handling of product.

2) Faster Delivery:- So because of them having their self courier, their delivery service is faster than any other online store. That’s why most of the product in flipkart are available as "to be delivered in 2-4 days" while the same product in other store gives a longer estimation of time. So, for quicker delivery, flipkart can be opted in metros while they take time to parcel the product when to be done by speed post.

3) Safe packing :- Flipkart provides safe packing for its delivered product. Most of the time when I have received books delivered from flipkart, even books are well-packed with plastic that prevents scratch and protected with other two level of packing to ensure safe packing.

4) Original Products: The most of products I found on flipkart are original and they don’t keep it in their site unless the product is genuine nor they keep it confusing products. So, this reduces the chance of defective product, however it should always be noted that a product can be defective or some exceptional defect during shipping
.
5) 30 days Replacement Guarantee:- Though this is the assurance given by all online store, flipkart delivering it through its own manpower makes this promise more assurable than others. For me, I never had to go for replacement as I always found the product in proper condition.

6) Customer care is always the affecting factor of any company, so here flipkart is acceptable. Personally speaking I never had reason to call customer care because of products complaint, but few of the times when I had communicated them through website itself, it was a good response. More ever, I liked the classifications to contact customer care that they have in their website.

Let us move towards some of the points which are bad in flipkart.

1) Higher Price:- Though flipkart has wider range of products, price of products mentioned in it are comparatively more than other online store. For e.g., Mobile phone and accessories are lower in snapdeal, Books price are lower in infibeam and fashion product are lower in some other else. So, when a customer wants to minimize its budget, he will think twice before buying any product here. Though they sometime sell product with some offer, Price is not satisfactory. More ever, their levels of discount percentage they offer in products have decreased since their opening.

2) Higher scale for free delivery: Since it first arrived, the scale for free delivery was 100, it then changed to 200 and then now it is 300. So this seems a higher scale for the customer who wants to buy just one book, and they end up paying higher charge for delivery. Though it can’t be argued that a specific scale is needed to balanced transaction in both of the party, free delivery after 300 seems a higher scale especially when they have their own couriers. But once when I had to send a book of 250 in the area beyond their coverage, they had speed post it. Although it took more time than expected, it reached safely with their usual packing

3) Some of the weird price:- In some cases, I have found that product price is between 271 to 299, which compels customer to pay more than 300 for a product. In one case, a product is priced 299, this means Rs 329 has to be paid for total delivery, this is indeed a weird price and flipkart need to think about such stupid price that takes extra money from customer.

4) Rare discount coupons available in web : this point can’t be said as drawback of flipkart, but as a customer, we may be opting for discount coupon. So flipkart discount coupons are rarely found on any web (I haven’t found a single one till today, if you have let me know also).

Conclusion:-
For some flipkart is the horrible nightmare as many people might have suffered through its delivery delay, Many People might be frustrated because of defective product they had dispatched, few may have wasted extra money in calling customer care to resolve the disputed issue, but given the condition that a thing will always posses both good and bad parts, I think flipkart posses more of former and its acceptable for online shopping provided shopping are limited to certain boundary. But not to forget, online shopping should be wise enough.

I myself have tried many other online stores but couldn’t find them acceptable. Especially late delivery as they don’t have their own manpower to deliver. So if you have money and you need the product in proper time, Flipkart is always a better option. Price might be higher, but the difference of price is not so high and it’s acceptable if one is seeking some good shopping. It is fast in metros, but it may be different in rural areas.

Let me know your views and ratings.
Merry Christmas and Happy new Year

Nokia X3:- Music Phone with Slider

Nokia X3-00 :Music Express Phone with Slider

Product type: Mobile handset
Model: Nokia X3
Market price:- 6400 ( I had brought for this amount but price may vary according to place and time)

Nokia’s music express series in earlier models were one of its popular and accepted phone especially by most of the youth. In the recent time their music express phone especially nokia 5130 had got lots of technical error varying from the date of purchase of fifteen days. Though we expect a phone to work efficiently till atleast one year of purchase, nokia failed to stand up in its expectation. Their one year warranties didn’t either was of any help because a small reason was enough for non-functioning of the phone.


Still, because of the non-availability of new + good + comparative cheaper Sony Ericson phone and my repelling interest towards Samsung phone, I decided to buy Nokia phone as their software function also are user friendly.


Nokia X3-00 was available on 6400.00 in the end of July. It is a 2G phone (not 3G phone)
Their function at the glance were,
1) Music express phone with slide
2) 3.2 mega pixel camera (flash not available)
3) Dedicated button key for music player, volume and camera
4) large display


Accessories available with Nokia X3-00

1)    1) 2 GB memory card free

2)      3.5 mm Headphone (this one is of new type ear-phone which nokia has been providing with its new model. This headphone is better than of their earlier model which looks stable and well-covered too. And thanks that they assembled 3.5 mm Headphone jack which can be connected with computer headphones too)

3) Data cable – but it is again not longer than 1foot. Don’t know why nokia is being so greedy in all these.

        4)      Charger adaptor and PC suite Cd

It has been more than three months since I am using this phone, and following are my experience regarding their functions and application.

1)      Firstly, the most important thing, Phone calling. Phone calling through this phone is better than of nokia’s earlier model. Its voice clarity is good and good network connectivity.

2)      As usual, nokia comes with larger phone book storage power and field option of multiple phone number entries, email and so on. Its flexible option to back up contacts in memory card or pc can be of great help if well-used. This can help you prevention of loss of phone numbers if phone error is found

3)      Battery power is improved than as of other phone but if you are frequent user, its battery power will not company you till the end of second day. So, daily charging is necessity with this phone.

4)      As it has a camera of 3.2 mp, you will love its image. Its clarity are better than of any other brands’ 3.2 mp phone. This gives you function of zooming and cropping of picture in different size as of your need. So cropping through phone itself outcomes better picture than of computer cropping.

5)      The phone memory of this phone is about 64 MB which can be used in storing more number of applications. (but yeah, if you are interested in installing 100s of application, this is not a correct phone for you). Another limitation of using Nokia application is that this phone doesn’t support minimizing application or multiple use of application at a time. So this can be a concern why this function is lacking even in this phone.

6)      Application of E-mail which they have pre-installed in this phone comes with the option of signing in through various email ids. Viewing of personal message of any of your account is a type as of ok! You can compose mail also with the file attachments and using recently used email address too.

But you will experience a big problem in email viewing. Don’t assume it to be as any other E-series or black berry phone.
Here, instead of the given link, you will see the entire html code and web link in any email which is a bit-irritating. Opera mini is better option to this

Inserting/storing of email id through direct phone book is possible, but only to that contact whose rank is upto 100 in phone book order. Suppose if you need adding email contact of person starting from M and in dictionary order, if it its rank is 103, inserting email id of this contact is not possible.



7)      It has the option of hindi language for phone setting as of earlier nokia phone and typing messages in hindi is also possible

8)      It comes with few installed games but also to be noted that its keypad are bit sensitive one and it may not last long.

9)      Message inbox- it can be viewed both in inbox or conversation (Chat) view. As usual, nokia gives you the option to save unlimited number of messages but again, speed of phone functioning is inversely proportional to number of message saved. So if you happen to cross 4000+ sms, your phone may suffer with repetitive hanging and slow functioning.

10)   Advanced web-browser- Here, nokia is trying to give you advance web browser, as through its own browser u can open bigger site. But it has its own limitation. Because this one being 2G phone, internet connection through browser is too slow and if you are using internet with small data plan, you will end up losing money as this one is not so reliable. You can use opera-mini for efficient use.

11)   You-tube video- Through one of its you-tube bookmarks, you can see videos easily on this phone. So, this is good that video playing is smooth with this phone.

12)   With dedicated music keys, you will have an option to play music smoothly and they have separate keys for volume too. Its sound even if played through phone itself are good and of normal sound level which wont irritate you as other Chinese phone. But remember, if you have kept your phone unlocked, your music can be played with just a touch in sensitive time too. It has very good voice clarity

13)   It has wireless fm radio, through which you won’t need headphone to play fm. Fm

14)   I have 2 GB memory card, but if you are a music lover, you can replace with 8 GB memory card. Till that level, I am sure it won’t have any functioning problem till that extent as it extended memory is of 16 GB..

15)   Internet connectivity through PC suite with this mobile is slower than as of other phone.

16)   As I earlier said, its keypad is a bit sensitive and it may not be same after one or one and half year of usage. As it is slide phone, chance of phone slide being loose sooner can’t be ignored.

17)   Small ignorance or few fall of phone even from low height can effect this phone. So, with all these, we can find lacking of product durability…

Conclusion:-
This is a better phone than as of Nokia’s earlier product, but today on the price of 6.4k or with adding 1k, you can owe a good phone in 3G connectivity. Nokia’s negligence effort in improving application and Email function can be seen in this phone also.
If you are seeking phone just for normal and camera use, you may like it, but this may not be a first choice for rest of people…

So as all my rating of 3 star out of 5.

Be free to comment, and if anyone using this phone, please do share your experience.
Regards

Revolution 2020 Review:

Better call it ’CORRUPTION 2011’

I had finished reading this book before two weeks and was in the real dilemma, how to review this book? After thinking lot, I have finally penned it down.

This review is my own personal view and most of his fans or Chetan Bhagat himself Disagree with this one. Be free to leave your Comment.

Revolution 2020
Love, Corruption and Ambition.

Title of the book looked promising, but Never judge a book just because of its cover.



Preview-
2 States was the first fiction book I’d ever read and though it was not so enjoyable book, reading chetan bhagat had helped me start reading with the book. Later as I read two of his other book, 5 Point someone and 3 Mistakes of my life, I made my mind to read his new releasing book ‘Revolution 2020’. Its price through flipkart.com was 84 and pre- ordered it 2 months before its release.

Story-
3 Childhood friend:- In the city of Varanasi, Gopal, Aarti, and Raghav grow up from same school to have their career in different field. Raghav’s talent helps him reach IIT at Banaras Hindu University while Gopal, the poor guy goes to kota to prepare and repat the engineering entrance exam again. During these time Aarti and Raghav gets close to each other and fall in love. This brings dispute among Gopal and Raghav.

Raghav interested in journalism more than engineering has an ambition to work against corruption while despite not going to college Gopal turns out to be director of Ganga-tech engineering college. Then rest of story is all about Raghav attempts to fight against corruption and his indirect fight with Gopal.

Yeah, The book seems like a love story too… But if it is actually a love story, I am confused…

And not to forget, the main content of the book… Lots of f**k word included with few other vulgar words
                                          
Is this book focused about revolution?

No.
It is not. It never seems like he has stressed on this topic. Only after two-third of book is completed, he tries focusing on the main content while before that it seems he has filled book with umpteen numbers of boring topics just to create a background. Even he lacks with proper idea to conclude this book forgetting the title of book and forgetting if he is writing an improper love story or anything else?

Here he has shown the extreme limit of corruption done to establish a institute and educational system and have brought among the public. From a first job of Building construction to AICTE approvement, Mr Bhagat has shown number of corruptions. Let us look how if this theme will bring some clear reality among the people. He has included corruption done by MLA and his condition after resigning from the post. But he has hardly penned something about called revolution....

So title ’Corruption 2011’ would have been the better than ’Revolution 2020’

Even in this book, he has dealt about the Student Pressure during competitive exams and their inability to reach the victory target. This is something which many of the books and movies have included many times. He himself being student of IIT and IIM, he could have written something about dark horse winning the race or something which can really inspire students. He lacks it here.. Overall he lacks the creativity and new idea in this book


In this book, he again stresses about ‘failure student’ and yeah, let me clarify, in all of his books, the failure student are the compliment set of IIT’s and IIM’s. Just because he has reached County’s most of the prestigious college means he is a winner? Is it that all students out of IIT and IIM are failure student?
Kindly please stop this attitude because don’t forget, if anyone will be reading your book, they will not be any iitians or iim student but just a simple and average students.



Is this book a readable one?

Initially, what I had was little praise of words to Mr. Bhagat for including the topic of Corruption in his book Revolution 2020. May be it was his inner desire to write about such topic. I appreciate his writing the book in such a simple words. His attempts to reach youths not knowing higher level English is a type of gambling he has played, and maybe he’ll succeed reaching first timers too.

But again you get in a doubt if Revolution 2020 is a book written by a writer who claims himself as ‘India’s most loved and respected writer’?

He has nothing more than describing the Dress or clothes of girl and you hardly can find any sensible or creative literature used here. The language used in book itself is easier than Gulmohar book of lower-secondary school and not to forget errors and printing mistakes in book.

Rather than spreading social awareness in his book, It looks like his vision to write a book is more about making familiarity with people about vulgar words. His adaptation with the ‘sex’ in every of the book and inclusion of ‘f**k word’ in almost every of the alternate pages proves it.

Mr. Bhagat, is it what you want to spread among the people? We all know many of the writers follow the same procedure but how about starting the revolution of writing books with gentle word?

With all these, his claim of being India’s most loved and respected writer contradicts.


My Conclusion-

I had respect for Chetan Bhagat as writer, but I don’t think I will be reading any of his upcoming books unless it will be with top class gentle language.

I don’t mind people reading this book, but if you are among those gentle people who believe in the decency and if you are those who hate vulgar words, please don’t read this book because you may end up your mind filled with dirty words lot earlier you finish this book.

And Dear Chetan Bhagat, Next time you write another book, please mention the vulgarity class of the language you are using in it.

My rating 2 out of 5
