Ek Villain Bollywood Movie Review

Ek Villain Bollywood Movie Review

Cast: Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, Aamna Sharif
Direction: Mohit Suri
Genre: Romance
Duration: 2 hours 10 minute

Story: When Guru's love Aisha is threatened by Rakesh, a villain, the evil within him resurfaces. He too bays for blood and how.

Review: Guru (Sidharth) is a gangster who is happy to let his gun speak. Till the effervescent, virginal Aisha (Shraddha), a Good Samaritan, crosses his path. Opposite attract. His gun goes silent as the two of them chase the rainbow together. The texture of their relationship has that fairy-tale quality. And just when they start to build their castle, brick by brick, their life is stopped on the tracks by a psychotic serial killer Rakesh (Riteish).

Guru, who had dropped his gun in exchange for a bed of roses with Aisha, rediscovers metal. Inspired largely by Korean filmmaker Kim Jee-Woon's I Saw the Devil (2010), Mohit Suri's romantic thriller is Bollywoodised for the desi market.

While the Korean film relied on too much blood and gore, Suri's film mixes romance and violence in equal measure, letting the plot meander a bit butallowing for some sharp twists as well. So there are those sweet moments interspersed with the melodious galliyan track rendered beautifully by Ankit Tewari. And there are also those look-over-your-shoulder thrills because suddenly, you have not one, but two villains running amok on screen. The cat and mouse game between the two bad men is exciting. However, there is some repeated violence that makes you squirm and wish that the writer had kept the plot tighter.

Sidharth kills with his good looks and delivers an angry man performance deftly; Riteish strikes the right amount of fear in his maniacal gear. Shraddha is bubbly and achingly beautiful. But the supporting cast should have been chosen more discerningly. Aamna Sharif as Riteish's nagging wife is an irritant and Remo Fernandes as the mafia don should definitely have had more menace.

You cannot fault the scale of Ek Villain or berate its lead star cast. But you wish you could celebrate this thriller like you did Suri's last movie outing Aashiqui 2. This one lacks soul.

KCR Bats For Bharat Ratna To PV Narasimha Rao

 KCR Tribute To PV Narasimha Rao

 Glowing tributes were paid to former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao on Saturday as the new Telangana government celebrated his 93rd birth anniversary as a state function for the first time.
Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Leader of Opposition K. Jana Reddy, a host of ministers, MPs, MLAs, Jnanpeeth awardee C. Narayana Reddy and leaders of various parties offered floral tributes to the “son of the soil” at PV Gnana Bhoomi in Hyderabad on Saturday.

Speaking on the occasion, the Governor described the late Prime Minister as a “perfect human being” and a man with great ideals.

A leader like P.V. Narasimha Rao is very rare on the Indian political map. He was a modern Chanakya, a multi-faceted personality and a man with his feet firmly on the ground. He was the father of economic reforms in the country,” the Governor said.

From being a freedom fighter, who took an active part in the Quit India Movement, P.V. Narasimha Rao rose to occupy every post in Indian polity.
He was a man who rose from a small position to the highest position in the country. We have to always remember that,” the Governor said.
Recalling his association with the former Prime Minister, the Governor pointed out that PV was a man who took bureaucratic decisions.

My indecision is a conscious decision,” Mr. Narasimhan quoted PV as telling him once when, as the then top Intelligence Bureau official, he went to get a filed cleared.
PV ji had a great sense of humour. He will finish you off with that. He was man of great ideals. He is not a man or name to be forgotten,” Mr. Narasimhan added.

Stating that the former PM was a ‘lover of Ayurveda’, the Governor asked the Telangana government to develop a herbal garden at the PV Gnana Bhoomi.

The Chief Minister said his Cabinet would soon pass a resolution requesting the Centre to confer Bharat Ratna on the late legend.
The Chief Minister announced on the occasion that a memorial building that would house the memorabilia of the late Prime Minister would be constructed in Hyderabad. “It will showcase PV’s life, his literature, speeches and other things,” he added.

A new district that will be carved out soon will be named after P V Narasimha Rao. We will also name a new university in Telangana after him,” Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said.
He requested the Centre to build a befitting memorial to the former Prime Minister in New Delhi.
Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao lamented that PV did not get the deserved honour at the national level though he was a genius on many fronts.

The Chief Minister recalled that PV was the first Chief Minister to implement the Land Reforms Act passed by the Centre. “He (PV) did not go back on this despite knowing that he would face many problems. He eventually lost his post,” KCR pointed out.
Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu also paid tributes to the former Prime Minister.
He (PV) was a thinker, a multi-faceted genius, an exceptional economist, who pioneered landmark economic reforms, a man of great integrity, a polyglot, a translator, a distinguished poet and an acclaimed author

Most Powerful People On Twitter

Most Powerful People On Twitter

Twitter recently released a list of influential people on the site who are most followed and retweeted. None of the first five surprised us as they deserved to be where they are. It is also interesting to see friends turned foe going back to back. It’s as if whatever they do, they are incomplete without each other.

The fifth position went to Sachin Tendulkar who bid adieu to all forms of cricket a year back. His farewell speech wet everyone’s eyes and it isn’t a surprise that he is part of the list. He is still missed on the field and off it too. And perhaps that’s the reason why he is so popular on twitter.

The fourth position went to one and only Salman Khan. There is no rocket science as to why he is one of the most powerful celebs on Twitter. His quotes are as weird as his films but people still love him like crazy.

The third position went to Shah Rukh Khan who seemed to be the apple of everyone’s eye. Being a well-educated and learned man, SRK’s tweets are a perfect blend of amusement and knowledge. His mischievous self is often at play on Twitter when he writes quirk quotes. Many websites run only on his tweets, trying to figure out what exactly SRK meant when he said, “I am happy and well.”

The second position goes to the actor of the millennium Amitabh Bachchan. He is the first celeb who kickstarted the trend of announcing family news on twitter. He disclosed about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s pregnancy and her subsequent child Aaradhya. Even today, he likes to give out specific details about his life and work through his handle.

And the first place goes to our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Since his boisterous campaigns across the country, his abki baar modi sarkaar trended insanely. Now, people are interested to know where are the achehe din

Opening Of world Tallest water slide Delayed

Opening Of world  Tallest water slide Delayed

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — With nearly half of its season already in the books, a water park in Kansas has been forced to delay the opening of the world's tallest water slide for the third time and hasn't set a new date for its debut.

Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City announced Thursday that Verruckt, a 17-story, 168-foot-tall water slide, would not open on Sunday as scheduled. The park's news release did not give a reason for the latest delay, although earlier this week two media sneak preview days were canceled because of problems with a conveyor system that hauls 100-pound rafts to the top of the slide.

Verruckt, which means "insane" in German, was certified as the world's tallest water slide in April by Guinness World Records. The slide sends riders on four-person rafts plummeting at 60 mph to 70 mph.

The ride's initial opening date was moved from May 23 to June 5 to allow for more testing, then pushed back again to June 29. Schlitterbahn spokeswoman Winter Prosapio said earlier this week that park officials would not hesitate to delay operation again for however long it takes to make sure the slide is safe.

"We'll take embarrassment before putting someone in the slide when it is not ready," she said.

In a news article linked to the news release announcing the latest delay, Schlitterbahn co-owner Jeff Henry told USA Today that he and senior designer John Schooley had based their calculations when designing the slide on roller coasters, but that didn't translate well to a water slide like Verruckt.

In early tests, rafts carrying sandbags flew off the slide, prompting engineers to tear down half of the ride and reconfigure some angles at a cost of $1 million, Henry said.

He said testing of the slide was conducted after dark to avoid media helicopters that had been buzzing over the park after hours.

The Associated Press reached out Friday morning through Prosapio for an interview with Henry, but he had not responded to that request several hours later.

Sunday's opening had been scheduled to coincide with a one-hour special on the Travel Channel titled "Xtreme Waterparks" documenting the designing and building of Verruckt.
A promotional video for the show includes footage of two men riding a raft down a half-size test model of the slide and going slightly airborne as it crests the top of the first big hill.

Henry told USA Today that while Schlitterbahn is a family water park, Verruckt isn't a family ride.
"It's for the thrill seekers of the world, people into extreme adventure," he said.
Schlitterbahn's season started May 23, and the park will be open daily through Aug. 17, after which it will be open two more weekends before the season ends
