3 Idiots (Movie Review)

Title of the movie:  3 Idiots Release Date:  25 Dec. 2009 Genre:  Comedy Language:  Hindi Theme:  Importance of self-actualization 3 Idiots is a 2009 Indian comedy-drama film directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. It was loosely adapted from the novel ‘Five Point Someone’ by Chetan Bhagat. 3 Idiot stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and many others. 3 Idiots is a comedy of ideas that is as provocative as funny, as wildly entertaining as insightful. The atmospheric setting of an Engineering College and its environment clearly mirrors all these characteristics. The film begins with two friends (Madhavan and Sharman) embarking on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey, they encounter a long forgotten bet, a wedding they must crash and a funeral that goes impossibly out of control. As they make their way through the perilous landscape, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane ...

Wuthering Heights (Book Review)

Title:  Wuthering Heights Author:  Emily Bronte Genre:  Gothic novel Theme:  The enduring love between Catherine and Heathcliff, the desire, hate, revenge and regret in family and how it eventually destroys their lives and the lives of those around them. Is it a darkly passionate tale of love? Or should we call it a highly original gothic story? Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is a classic novel and in my opinion, a gripping blend of these genres. Written in 1847, the novel is an epic family saga full of desire, hate, revenge and regret. The atmospheric setting of the wild Yorkshire Moors cleverly mirrors all these violent emotions. When Catherine’s father adopts the starving orphan boy Heathcliff, Catherine’s brother Hindley feels deeply hurt and resentful. She, on the other hand, develops an immensely strong bond with Heathcliff, which becomes an all consuming love. Upon her father’s death, Hindley becomes the head of the family and forces Heathcliff t...

Jhole (Movie Review)

The movie,” Jhole ” by Dipendra K. Khanal pictures the reality of lower-middle class people who are allured to the abroad for making money. The movie is starred with the Actors Dayahang Rai, Priyanka Karki, A.Gurung, Shankar Acharya, Shishir Rana. The another movie, “Jhola” is very different from the movie “ Jhole” which takes back the audiences to the 100 years ago in which there used to be Sati System. Both of the movies, however, are still contextual to the present Nepalese societies as there have been no significant changes or growth in the economic status of the people. In the movie, “Jhole” it signifies every man who comes to the city for making his dream true as Harke, (Dayahang Rai) the protagonist is depicted. So the obvious thing is that in the movie, the most important thing is the “Jhola” in which he has carried all the important documents for processing abroad. Harke gets threatened as his Jhola gets lost in the movie. This shows his life is now the Jhola that he had...

Jhola (Movie Review)

Jhola; a movie based on the real picture of the Nepalese society of around a century ago regarding Sati system is written by Krishna Dharabasi.  The story is supposed to have been written on the basis of a story that Dharabasi found out from a leaf booklet kept in a bag from where the name is taken bag (Jhola in Nepali). The story originally is mentioned to have taken place in Bhojpur district. The movie is based on the ill practices which were existed in the name of culture and tradition. Through the movie, it highlights patriarchy to have been dominant showing male supremacy. This, we can see by the help of several plots where women agree to everything that a man tells her to do even to the cruelty of burning themselves alive in the pyre of their husband considering her a Sati. Not only this, but there are small plots where females are considered inferior to that of males like while the Priest (Pandit) tells the main character Kanchhi not to cry being a Sati instead to ...

Prem Geet 2(Movie Review)

Though set in Burma, ‘Prem Geet 2’ from the very start talks about nationalism and tries to promote the rich culture of Nepal throughout the film. The story gradually develops plot with a good five minutes of speech on nationalism and the brave Gorkhalis who fought beyond the national border. Debutant Aslesha Thakuri (Geet) appears on the screen as a Nepali who has never been to her homeland. Despite that, Geet has an immense love for the country and desperately wants to come to Nepal. She plays a naïve character, and eventually runs away from Burma to come to Murma, in Mugu of Nepal. Audiences will get a good hearty laugh when Pradeep Khadka (Prem) makes his ‘beautiful’ entry on the screen. He works as a salesperson, and is a lady charmer. It’s not love at the first sight between Prem and Geet, but he certainly chases her around the streets of Kathmandu (literally) and the scene will definitely make audiences laugh out loud. The storyline does not impose Prem and Geet’s love s...

Summer Love (Book Review)

I knew most of the story in Summer Love before I picked it up. When a book has been paraded through social media as much as this one has, you can only avoid it for so long. A friend of mine (who also happens to be a heavy smoker with a troubled love-life) recommended it to me so I started reading with a feeling that perhaps it wouldn’t impress me as much as it did him. The story in Summer Love is nothing new- boy, girl, love. The boy, Atit Sharma, and the girl, Saya Shakya, are both enrolled in the same Masters degree course, where they meet, talk and fall in love with nothing to report. Atit, one day, confesses his love to her when they are on the way back from college. Saya says she will think about it. She says she will consider whether or not to reciprocate this man’s love for her(!) There are various factors at play here- Saya is an overachiever, comes from a very well-off but conservative Newar family and has reservations about whether he is the right man for her; we can ...
