Well, the midsems are finally over (almost). And I will have to admit that they went by pretty disastrously. No need to elaborate further, as I have decided to not think about them until the results arrive.
So lets do a movie review, what? This time its Lage Raho Munnabhai.
This is the sequal to the immensely popular Munnabhai MBBS, which was given rave reviews by one and all. So how does Lage Raho do?
Again you follow the doings of Munnabhai and Circuit, in their efforts to bag a girl for Munna. In between Munna becomes convinced that Gandhi speaks to him, and becomes a proponent of Gandhism...Mumbaikar Ishtyle. Madness, Mystery and Mayhem ensue, until "le happy end" continues.
Good points of this movie:
It did not take itself too seriously.
The jokes were mostly situational, and not contrived.
There was an attempt at a plot, which is not common at all in Hindi Movies
Had some nifty songs (which I liked).
Not so good points:
It was not as laugh out loud funny as Munna 1.
While the plot was there, it was somewhat episodic in its handling. Its not something that I can explain easily...but it just felt like there were small discontinuities in scenes.
So all in all, the movie rates a watchable...maybe even a bit better. I liked the movie overall. And like the whole non-violence idea. Though the Bhai character of the movie suffered a lot as a result.
Well, the Zener Diode is still Work In Progress. Once I finish off with Management Accounting, hope to see it debut on my blog. But till then...Ta Ta!

In the midst of exams
My midsems began three days ago...After two exams...I can't say that they have been great so far.
The papers have been easy, but my preparation levels have not quite been perfect. And that is a serious understatement!
However, life is bigger than exams (I keep telling myself that), and its time for yet another movie review.
This time we go for Kill Bill--> Volume 2.
I remember watching Kill Bill volume 1 in the theatre in Bangalore...mainly because of the rather off colour jokes we made during the movie. I have to admit it...I really liked the movie. The awesome cartoon part in between, as well as the overblown dramatics was great for my mood at the time.
Now KBV2 was watched after my rather pitiful OR exam...and I have to admit, this movie is nowhere as good as volume 1. It has some interesting moments, but its a bit like H2G2....200 pages of inanity intermixed with 20 pages of genius! No plot giveaways, but I will say this...It is not for the squemish. If you do not have a very high tolerance to blood and gore...you SHOULD NOT watch this movie.
Well, I did promise a Zener diode explanation, but midsems have conspired to ensure that I could not read up on them. However, once the midterms end...I hope to be restarting my physics section.
Until then...ta ta.
