Despite not so really strong fundamentals, markets rallied heavily over past 9 months due to excessive liquidity, low interest rates. Stocks were in favour because lack of other opportunities in other instruments.
Finally, Dubai credit crunch would trigger the much awaited correction in equities. Let us see, how far this new story would develop and affect the prices.
As i say, in good bull markets, bad news will get ignored. In uncertainty, even a little bit of bad news would cause havoc to stock prices. We rallied heavily and were waiting for some excuse. Here it comes !!!

Kurbaan - Movie Review
Kurbaan movie is avoidable for many reasons. Acted by Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi, Om Puri, Kirron Kher, music by Salim - Suleiman, Directed by Rensil D'Silva.
If you want favouble review read the famous web pages....
# 1. Terrorism, fundamentalism, US bombing the innocent civilians are cliched topics.... they are discussed in bwn the movie as a matter of fact.
# 2. Dreaded terrorist Saif Ali Khan changes his mind every now and then including the climax ! He runs after the skin of Kareena like a dog runs after a bone.
# 3. New York living Kareena is a professor of Psychology. The way she falls for Saif in the first 10-15 min of movie is outrageous. No nice dialogues, interesting sequence but still she falls for Saif :(
# 4. Actually, Vivek Oberoi should have been shot in the movie for his hopeless acting skills. He competes really well with Sunil Shetty and Zayed Khan.
Forget my opinion, People in theater laugh loudly when bombs are defused and when FBI official Collins gets up from rubbles ! Thats not a good sign for a thriller !!!
Only thing i liked is the direction... the action sequences are done very well and the thriller element is quite good. But how much a director can salvage a below par story line despite the skin show?
I dont think this movie will work and recover the cost. let us wait and see the box office report.

Sad treatment to jawans
CNN IBN reported the story couple of days back that how gateway of india is used as resting, lodging place. Maharashtra State Reserve Police Jawans were not even provided a decent accomodation facility while they are on duty. Some 150 jawans are living in makeshift arrangement for the past one year.
It is sad and shocking while our Bapus and Ministers are enjoying all the benefits while in power or not... they dont even vacate the house when they lose power !
It is high time that state governments show some respect...

Paa - Music Review
Album Name: Paa
Music By: Ilayaraja
Overall Rating: Good
01. Mudhi Mudhi Ittefaq Se By Shilpa Rao - 5/5 - Classy, Catchy dance track with lovely, jazzy beats. Shilpa rao has done a commendable job in this track.
02. Gumm Summ Gumm By K. Bavatharini, Shravan & Chorus - 3.5/5 - modestly catchy track with techno tracks.
03. Udhi Udhi Iteffaq Se By Shilpa Rao - 4/5 - Slightly mellowed down version of mudhi mudhi with modest beats.
04. Hichki Hichki By Sunidhi Chauhan - 3/5 - neither a full blown dance track nor a melody. little confusing tune.
05. Gali Mudhi Ittefaq Se By Shaan - 4/5 - Melodious version of mudhi mudhi.
06. Halke Se Bole By Chorus - 2.5/5 - kind of prayer song.
07. Mere Paa By Amitabh Bachchan - 2.5/5 - Voice of Amitji is a total surprise in this track even though the tune is a let down.
08. Paa Theme (Remix)- 4/5 - It is not a slow track as you see in the trailer.
Lyrics are written with some rhythemic two words in every song. donno why such a consistency followed. Hope the director has got some cues in the movie. example - mudhi mudhi, udhi udhi, hichki hichki...
Just to quote - Halke Se bole = putham pudhu kaalai ponnira velai from alaigal oivathillai; Gumm summ gumm = Olangal’s Thumbi vaa;

Tum Mile - Movie Review
Tried our luck for 2012 and ended up watching Tum Mile. Had some expectation after reading reviews of TOI, B.W.H, Rediff. But the movie turned out to be a big bore.
Ex-lovers meet after six years and the flash back starts. Love story of Emraan and Soha starts in Cape Town and it oscillates bwn the present period. Present period is the fateful day in Mumbai floods, deluge in 26th July 2005.
No chemistry bwn the lead pair, very insipid love, fight incidents bwn the lead pair, very long movie with two and half hours duration with no interesting incidents makes you highly uncomfortable. In satyam where i watched, people started commenting loudly scene after scene. thats how they entertained themselves.
Only saving grace of the movie was the excellent music of Pritam. Pls listen to the music and avoid a visit to theatre.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani - Movie Review
Rajkumar Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani has got some excellent funny moments, some decent one liners, impressive performance of Ranbir kapoor, Katrina Kaif.
But dont expect a story, go for timepass and fun and you will get that instantly. Dont come out and think abt the movie., pls.
Art direction is so shoddy, "set" feeling is visible throughout the movie. Music was very average. Good for raj kumar who made a decent come back after two disasters - Family, Halla Bol.
