Thoughts in and out of reason

KGF. The abbreviation which we all learnt in school is now a magnum opus in Kannada (and dubbed in a few other languages as well) thanks to the dreams, dedication and hard work of this immensely talented visionary team. This is the first installment of what will be a 2 - part movie. This movie is written and directed by Prashanth Neel , cinematography is by Bhuvan Gowda , art direction is by Shivakumar and music is by Ravi Barsur . I do not want to bore anyone with numbers ( “ Money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end .” - Bob Marley) or this - versus that, but this is a big budget movie for the Kannada film industry, and justice has been done on each and every Rupee spent. The movie (fiction, not based on a real story) traces the origins and rise of the protagonist, played by Yash  and his destiny, which is intertwined with that of  KGF (Kolar gold fields - read the history of this place here ).

Unboxing and assembly of the 2017 Cube attention SL with 27.5 inch wheels. This MTB was purchased from chainreactioncycles.com and was shipped to the U.S. The entire selection, ordering, payment and delivery processes were simple. The intent here is to take folks through anything you may need to know how to assemble a bike on your own, after you order a bike online. Have a look, and let me know if you have any questions about the assembly! Hope this helps!

My spree of watching South Korean movies continues. Next I watched this movie, based on a novel ( A murderer's guide to memorization ) by Kim Young- Ha  . http://library.klti.or.kr/node/22196 I have not read the book, but the movie is gripping! There have been different movies based on the premise of the mind and memory, and I find this topic to be a really fascinating one. After all, we're still discovering interesting insights about the brain. This movie does justice to the topic, as it makes you think, and takes you through the protagonist's mind and his dilemma. Your memory is your best friend. What do you do when you cannot rely on it? What method will you adopt to ensure that you stay sane and trust what you know? How do you protect the citadel of your reality? Can anything erase the core of your being? This is what we're set to unravel... Source The initial half of the movie has a very dark mood, with shots at night, or late in the evening. The dege

We started to watch this series after we had completed watching the big bang theory. Avenger used to watch this back in the day, and that was my only reference. Then I used to wonder what this was about. Now, like a decade later, I was reminded of those days. Nostalgia. As we continued, we saw that this is about the relationship between a  father , Martin Crane and his two grown up sons ( Dr Frasier Crane  and  Dr. Niles Crane . We also have Dr. Frasier Crane's radio show producer,  Roz Doyle  , and his father's caretaker,  Daphne Moon . Who can forget  Eddie , Martin's pet dog who hangs around at home? Following a failed marriage, Frasier has moved back to his hometown. Him, his father, Daphne and Eddie live together. Most of the sequences are shot at Frasier's home, in the KACL radio station, where he works hosting a psychiatry - related show with Roz, or in Cafe Nervosa . Now, one might think the humour here may be dry. After all, how many jokes can you c

Maheshinte Prathikaram (Mahesh's Revenge) is a Malayalam movie, released in 2016. This movie is based on a true story. What is this movie about? Pretty much about the events that transpire in a small town, in the verdant district of  Idukki , God's own country. In the life of a photographer, Mahesh, who has been continuing his father, Vincent Bhavana's photography business in town. Things go on normally in town - Mahesh goes about coverings weddings, funerals, portraits, family shoots, and the like. And then his childhood sweetheart comes back into town.. Have you ever pictured the embers of love rekindling during a funeral? This movie is a daring one. Those furtive glances have been captured in such a delicate and truthful way.But then, life does not go on as we plan. What seemed to be innocent love may turn towards money (a "Stable" future), leaving one with a dagger in the heart. There will be heartbreak, and we're left hurting. Then comes the rain,

Originally published at https://chandankarkera.blogspot.com/ on Saturday, February 9, 2013 Picture courtesy Wikipedia Saw this movie on a whim, and I am glad that I did so! I remember being interested in the movie as it was written and directed by the Coen brothers -  Ethan  and  Joel . “Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi The movie begins with this message. The next ten minutes are devoted to a sequence which happens at an age much earlier than in which the movie is shown. The connection between this sequence and the rest of the movie will lead to debates after you have watched the movie! A serious man is about Larry Gopnik, a Jewish physics professor. The story is set in the 70's in a town in the U.S. Larry's life is laden with signs, and he is trying to make sense of it all. He does not seem to get peace at work, at home, or even while he is around his home.His wife wants to divorce him for no reason. His son's  Bar Mitzvah  (

This series is based on a book called " Darkly dreaming Dexter ", and  Dearly devoted Dexter  by Jeff Lindsay An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, said Mahatma Gandhi . Dexter Morgan lives by a separate set of rules - "The code". This is an alternate justice system. It's not about revenge, but about clearing the dregs of society. About taking the law into your own hands. Of making the world a better place, one kill at a time. Vigilantism is a common phenomenon across the world (I guess). People have a variety of reasons to resort to this - political affliction, honour, love, madness, paranoia. For Dexter, it is about channeling a "dark passenger" One of the books Dexter Morgan's character is a complex one. He starts off (in the series) as a blood splatter analyst, a brother and a vigilante, and straddles the roles of a partner, lover, dad (and local bowling team member) eventually. Is he a good man? Or a bad one? What about s

What can be said? It's hard to think of something that encompassed so many emotions and moments. When was the last time you delayed watching a series ending because you didn't want it to end? Because this is what I did, for the longest time, until I felt I was ready to accept that the series had ended, after avenger told me so. What is this series all about? We have six friends in their early 20's, trying to get through their lives in NYC in the 90's. Monica is the clean freak and control freak who loves to cook and host people.  Chandler is the sarcastic one and is extremely funny, and I mean roll around laughing-funny! Rachel is the fashionista who is trying to find her footing in being independent. Joey is a charming flirt, and a struggling actor. Phoebe is the quirky one, a masseuse with a rough past, and she is also into the occult. Ross is the nerd paleontologist who has a history with Rachel.  Most of the scenes are shot in Central Perk, a coffee shop, or i
