Published by Lalit under Musing

Recently released Yash chopra’s production and Madhuri Dixit’s ccomeback films is facing some trouble in North Indian states. The movie which has some comments on Dalits was banned in U.P. first and later on Punjab and Haryana followed the same.  As per the latest updates, banned has been lifted from U.P. but its very much there in other two states. well yes the surely this movie is making politicans and producers dance but with all wrong reasons.

India Vs Pakistan, 2nd Test Match Day 3 stumps Eden Garden Kolkata

Published by Lalit under Musing

India - 616/5 dec.
Pakistan- 385/6
centuries from Kamran Akmal and Misbah ul haq

 So, another brave effort being put by these two pakistani batsmen but still they need some 80 odd runs to ave follow on and india require 4 wickets. If Pakistan save this follow on then this test match might be heading towards draw. I think first session on Day 4 should decide the fate of the match, Lets wait and watch.

Still wondering do really India need a Cricket coach, they are playing so well for the last 6 months without any head coach but yes the real test for them will be in Australia.

Indian Premier League (IPL)- cricket revolution

Published by Mohit under India, Musing, Sports

T20 in India and now IPL. Cricket is getting to new stages in India.  Someone/Something (may be ICL) has galvanised the long complacent Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) into action and they launched the Indian Premier League (IPL), severely denting the ambitious plans of the rival Indian Cricket League. 44-days long T20 and all the major players worldwide, differences to few months ago T20 world cup event are geographical location and competing team then countries.

Although this approach is new to cricket, but this concept is not new to the world of sports, its a famous phenomenon for football. English premier league and Primera Liga are best examples. If IPL can stand on expectations , it will be a win-win situation for all - be it players, new comers, sponsors, spectators, board or GAME as a whole. New comer will get a platform to come and show their talent, bringing the best for talent. Board will get more funds to raise the standard of game. Existing players can get really heavy cheques, spectators can enjoy better game and better standards with improved facilities and sponsors can reap real big money.

World is aware of importance and criticality of event to game hence so many people like business tycoon Vijay Mallaya, Anil Ambani, Hollywood actor Russel Crowe, Bollywood actor Sharukh Khan, cousin of former New Zealand cricket captain Martin Crowe, England-based Lord Swaraj Paul are among prominent bidders (courtesy - NDTV).

Concerns are whether event can generate same competitive edge as say a Test or a one-day match between two countries.  Can it generate same excitement as Pak-India series or ashes series? Can it stand to a expectations and deliver it?

It will be more of wait and watch. But hoping to see some good franchises coming up.

Shahrukh says sorry !!!

Published by Veresh under Musing

I am sure everyone who has seen OSO must have observed how Manoj Kumar was made fun of , though there was nothing new in the joke being played as everyone must have heard off those jokes on Manoj Kumar .

I think SRK went a step ahead by making Manoj Kumar look silly by beating him , with Manoj Kumar making a serious note of the whole issue and threatening to sue SRK , looks like better sense has prevailed as SRK has said sorry .

Taare Zameen Per

Published by Veresh under Musing

Having seen the promo of Taare Zameen Per movie , I should say they look great and thankfully there are no one dropping clothes with no item songs . Aamir is in sensible dresses with no “six pack abs” and is looking youthful . Songs looks meaningful and soothing .

Thankfully there is still someone who believes in acting , talent and believes in using movies as platform to showcase talent.

Here is a small promo of the movie , see the difference.
