Om Shanti Om VS Saawariya

SRK is back.. with Farah Khan, probably his favourite lady-friend after Juhi Chawla, in another movie that looks like the parody of the 70s (Farah seems to have grown up loving Rishi Kapoor's movie).. Om Shanti Om.. and hey this movie stars the pretty wannabe Deepika

Sanjay Leela Bansali is back too.. with Saawariya.. featuring Salman Khan (his lucky mascot), Rani Mukherjee (his fav after black perhaps?) and the eager Kapoor starkids... Ranbir, said to beat Hritik, and Sonam, used to weigh 90kgs before she started to diet to become an actress (hey dont blame me, SLB himself has been flashing his info all over the media)

Both these movie are the most awaited films of Bollywood and not-so coincidently both are slated for Diwali release on the 9th Nov, which gives us the million dollar question to bollywood fans, which one are u gonna watch first?

The answer is pretty simple for me though.. being a SRK fan i'd defintely watch OSO first... and SLB's movie here seems a lot like devdas magnificance + RK touch kinda movie... which doesnt look like anything new on the block.. the songs for both films has been good, Saawariya offering a lot songs with the classic touch devdas has, which again is very much Deja Vu... we aint seeing anything new here except for the 2 starkids... and did i mention that SRK is showing his 6 pack abs?

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

The boy who lived triumphs again beating the Dark Lord, of course we always know that the good beats the evil, but more often it is the question 'how' that brings us thru the fights and journey to find out the conclusion.

The prophecy sounds like one of the Hindu mythology, in fact even like the story of Prince of Persia. Lord Krishna's birth was predicted to pose danger to the King Kansa, who was a brutal ruler of god-knows-country. Krishna was to be given birth from the womb of his sister himself, so the King got her imprisoned (along with her husband) and ordered to kill all the sons she gave birth to. Fortunately, upon Krishna's birth, she was able to smuggle him out of the prison and country, and he was safely brought up by another family, and in the future he went ahead to put an end to King Kansa.

To my surprise the duel between Harry and Voldemort has been minimal in this final book of HP series. And to close the speculations, no Harry does not die, there lies a deeper secret in the elder wand.. well not secret but how it is able to choose and accept their master.

As other readers, i too had my own views on how some characters who died in the earlier books would come back, after disguising their death to fight Voldemort, but we forgot that in the magical world of wizards and witches there are laws of magic to be adhered to.

As i read further it became harder to put in down... it was an amazing experiece, i can almost feel Harry living alongside me everytime i read HP books.. but now i am gonna miss him a lot...
