Dangal by Aamir Khan Productions (Movie Reviews- 5/5)

Since the release of the trailer, every single person has been waiting for Dangal to hit the cinema screens, and the wait had indeed been worth for. Despite all the opposition for Aamir Khan for his 'intolerance' comments, the charm of the movie has been powerful enough to hush down the noises, all at once.

 The movie begins with a quick pace, portraying Mahavir Singh Phogat's desire for a wrestler son, fathering four daughters, and preparing them to be world-class wrestlers. 

 Characters Geeta and Babita Kumari Phogat have been peerlessly played by both the child actresses, Zaira Wasim and Suhani Bhatnagar, and Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra as adult sisters, respectively. The casting team has done an admirable job; Girish Kulkarni playing the national coach, Sammar as the sisters' close cousin, Sakshi Tanwar as Daya Shobha Kaur, all bring the characters to life with their flawless acting. Coming to Aamir Khan's performance, the PL actor proves that he and only he can bring justice to his characters, movie, and the audience this amazingly.

 The six-minute each span of two wrestling matches in the climax is no less than an actual international level wrestling match in case of originality. Both her actresses have been trained extensively to keep the genuinity of the female wrestlers. The fact that Sanya Malhotra (playing Babita) was trained for 5  months despite having  a50-second fight scene ion the film is yet another characteristic of Mr. Perfectionist's movie.

 The background music is bang-on, and it would be really unfair to especially mention Amitabh Bhattacharya for the rib-tickling lyrics of 'Haanikaarak Bapu.' 'Gilehriyaan' is a soft, melodious song that wouldn't take much time to become your subconscious chant. 'Dhaakad' and 'Dangal' title track are both peppy and a really good choice for workout music. 
the biopic moves at a good pace all throughout and holds the audience till the climax, which for sure will give you goosebumps. The cinematography is near perfect; neither too flashy nor too dull. The costume team has done good research on the early 90s clothing in the inner villages of Haryana. Director Nitesh Tiwari has added freshness to the dialogues with the sarcastic tone and narration as well. 

 All in all, Aamir Khan has come up with yet another masterpiece, and you really cannot afford to miss it. Dangal is the kind of movies we're blessed with once in a decade.
I give this movie, 5 out of 5 stars.

Perks of being a Solo Traveler: What my amazing Solo Trips taught me

Today marks the first anniversary of my first ever solo-trip. I had picked Agra, Uttar Pradesh for I was always mesmerized by the breathtakingly beautiful Taj Mahal. After somehow convincing my parents to allow me to travel alone, I landed up in Agra for a three-day trip.              It's fun, it's slightly overwhelming, even weird at times, but the experience of being on your own in a new town taught me a lot. Here are some perks that the adventure of solo travel brings along with it:   1. You make all the rules: Wanna go lakeside at 5 am? Or feeling like taking a nap in the afternoon? You can do whatever you like, whenever you like. Evening walks by the sea shore or enjoying breeze in the balcony, it's totally your call. Taj Mahal, Agra, UttarPradesh 2. Staying at amazing hostels: Backpacker hostels are far safer and cheaper than hotel rooms. Moreover, sharing your dorm room with travelers from different nationalities is an...

Like every other day, I was busy scrolling down Quora and paused at a question, the  top answer  of which sort of, pissed me off. I was aggravated with the tone of the answer, which is sadly the major reason for the huge response the answer is receiving.  Here's the screenshot of the question: And here's the answer I'm talking about: The answer is hidden in this anecdote I : I have a  friend, NIT graduate used to work for one of the largest steel makers in the world, and in due course of time he was engaged to his girlfriend.  Two years into the job he applied for and was accepted into the prestigious Indian Military Academy.  When he broke this news to his girlfriend she immediately put a choice to him "Either join the Army or marry me". My friend chose the Army, and thus the engagement was called off. Sad ending no? But wait, this happened next : My friend joined the IMA, passed out this year and currently is busy being a certified badass at 11...

The Broken Promise

“What is wrong with you, Vineet? Why the hell..oh God!” yelled a bewildered Sneha. She was sick of her boyfriend’s annoying habit of scaring street dogs by passing his bike near them at a lightning speed. “Come on Sneha, this is just for fun. I never do it hurt them. I never have.” But she chose to express her anger with silence. They were coming back from a fancy dress shop on Vineet’s motorbike. Sneha has auditioned for the International Ballet Dance competition and had cleared the state round. If she could impress the judges at the national level competition, she’d get a chance to represent India in France. She had always dreamt of becoming a professional ballet dancer and making her parents proud. Vineet and Sneha were returning from the shop which provided clothes for rent when this irritating incident happened for apparently the hundredth time. “You’re upset, and I know exactly what will bring your mood back to normal,” said Vineet, parking his bike in the parking z...
