Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

Plot

After having escaped the Maze, the Gladers now face a new set of challenges on the open roads of a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles.

Cast

 

Dylan O'Brien                       ...  Thomas Ki Hong Lee                          ...  Minho Kaya Scodelario                    ... Teresa Thomas Brodie-Sangster       ... Newt Dexter Darden                      ... Frypan Alexander Flores                   ... Winston Jacob Lofland                        ... Aris Jones

Acting
Actors did their job here with excellence.I could not tell whose performance was better among all as each and every character played their part with immense depth.

Direction
Direction was one similar to the previous part. i have only one complain with the director that is repeated use of OTS shots. Other than that he has done an awesome job here

Dialogues
Nothing great about the dialogues. I guess no importance was given to this part of the movie.

Screenplay
Screenplay was fascinating.
VFX were great but its nothing new for Hollywood. They are been doing an awesome job in terms of vfx for a decade now.

Editing

Editing could have been better. There was a scene where our lead caharacter gets high at some rave party club kinda place,the entire scene cud have been droped. Also i felt the climax of the movie was too stretched.

Story
Movie continues from where it was left at the first part.Thomas finds his friends and himself in a dorm with other immunes. He later finds out it is controlled by WCKD (world catastrophe killzone department) i.e. "the bad guys". The movie revolves around their escape where they try to reach to the "Right Arm" i,e, the good guys. During this journey they meet many interesting characters.Movie ends at a very high note where WKCD destroys the entire base of The Right Arms but some how most of the characters survive the ambush and take an oath to take their revenge. 

Overall

The movie in terms of acting and writing is a job done good.But VFX makes a mark here.

If you are a SCI-FI fan,you would like the movie.

Verdict

SCI-FI and thriller fans would love it.

My rating is 4/5.

We Are Your Friends review

Plot

 Caught between a forbidden romance and the expectations of his friends, aspiring DJ Cole Carter attempts to find the path in life that leads to fame and fortune.

Cast

	Zac Efron	...	Cole
	Wes Bentley	...	James
	Emily Ratajkowski	...	Sophie
	Jonny Weston	...	Mason
	Shiloh Fernandez	...	Ollie
	Alex Shaffer	...	Squirrel
	Jon Bernthal	...	Paige
	Alicia Coppola	...	Mrs. Romero

Acting
Acting in this movie was pretty decent which was needed by the script. The central character “Cole” was played Zac Efron and he played the role at his 100% potential. Wes Bently had to play a character of a alcoholic EDM star which he did excellently.

Direction
Direction could have been better. Pretty usual camera angles. However shots about Cole high on drugs looked real and one could relate him/herself.
We have seen much greater and appreciate able work in past.  

Dialogues
Lines were nicely written.
Key dialogues were been highlighted perfectly.

Screenplay
Execution of the movie was done poorly .Screenplay was the only part where the movie lacked its potential.
Some scenes were just a drag.
But the climax was awesome.

Editing

There is not much to talk about editing here. There was not much scope of showing editing skills here.

Story
The movie revolves around a DJ artist trying to make it big. He is in search of that “one track” that would turn his life around. Everyday experiences and his relationship with his friends play a vital role for him achieving that track.
Along with this journey a couple of vaguely related stories are incorporated.
There are few high points in the movie except those the graph of the movie is pretty much constant.

Music
EDM fans are going to love this movie!
Awesome and original EDM tracks make this movie worth watching.

Overall
The movie in terms of acting and writing is a job done good.
But I would call it a "one time watch movie".

Verdict

Despite the movie got thrashed by critics in the states , I as a fan of EDM loved the movie.
Rating by me would be 3/5 .

The path of Zarathustra Movie Review

Picture courtesy BookMyShow.in

Plot
A young woman, Oorvazi, born into Zoroastrianism, the religion of her forefathers leaves the isolation of her remote home when her grandfather with whom she lives alone dies.

Cast
Oorvazi Irani as Oorvazi

Tom Alter as Grandfather

Rushad Rana as Perseus

Shishir Sharma as Zurvan

Darius Shroff as the Intellectual and Mazdak

Firdausi Jussawalla as Mani and the Beggar

Vivek Tandon as Kardir

Acting
Tom alter did a great job!
The central character was played by the  director herself,considering that,I think her performance should have been much better .
Her dialogue delivery in terms of pace was too slow  . There were too much of unwanted pauses during the on going  conversations.

The character opposite to Oorvazi was played by Rushad Rana . He did a fairly good job.
Rest all the characters were played pretty well.

Direction
Direction of movie was nothing to boast about but was good (people have  done far better work).

Dialogues
Narration of the movie was done by the director herself and the writing was very elequent and the dialogues of the characters sounded more like you read in a book.

Screenplay
Screenplay was really very good.
With appropriate  lights and decent camera angles,the shots were looking nice visually.
But too much of pretentious shots of d waves and d sun could have been avoided.

Editing
Editing of this movie is done excellently. No useless scenes are present in the reel.
Again unwanted scenic shots should have been avoided.

Story
The movie starts at a high point where Tom Alter a Parsi is the grandfather  of our central character is on his death bed .
He gives his grand daughter(Oorwasi) a book. A book with insights on the history of their religion.
But the contents of d book can be explained to her only by someone special.
Oorwasi starts her journey in search of that special person.
The entire story revolves around that book and the people her imagination creates.

Story can be quite confusing for a non Parsi.
However with some basics about the religion the story is written quite good.

Overall
The pace of the movie is a little slow but this slow pace is needed by the plot.
Performance by Oorwasi could have been better ,there are no other flaws in the movie .

Verdict
Rating by me would be 3/5 .

Ban Body Odour

So, finally monsoon is here!

We have started experiencing the amazing rains and Creation of a romantic weather here in Mumbai.

But the biggest turn off of this weather is the body odour of your partner...:(

Imagine you and your mate are sitting together on a cozy chair.

Having a cup of tea and listening to the rains from your window.

Suddenly you notice a weird odour emerging from your partner.

What you do next?

Would you move away...OR

Would you continue by resisting and getting comfortable with the odour?

Nivea Has come up with a new product which has got the solution to this problem.

No its not a deodrant!

Its India's first deodorizer!

The basic and the biggest difference between THE DEODORIZER and the normal deoderants is that...

The deodorizer doesn't just mask the odour... But prevents the formation of the smell in the first place unlike the deoderants...which just try to mask the odour by their own fragrance which is for very short period of time.

I attended the #SniffSniff product unveilingevent by BlogAdda in association with Nivea. 

The event stated with a great session where we were asked to tie a blindfold on our team mates.

These team mates were asked to smell 5 different items and were asked to describe the personality of a person bearing such smell.

 The same session continued with some points which are very much usefull for avoiding bad odour.

The points included:-

Good apatite.

Eating leafy vegetables.

Avoid or less alcohol.

Avoid onions and garlic.

The session explained with the approach towards bad odour and how to confront someone about it.

There was yet another surprise...!

Mr. ARJUN RAMPAL was in the house!!

Had a chat about the same topic and he answered how he deals with body odour.

 

The meet concluded with a press conference and with the official launch of the product !

Stop elder abuse

Thinking about the fact of getting old haunts me as hell!
Imagining myself unable to do my own chores and relying on someone else for my basic chores ...:(

I had read a couple of tales in my school days..

There was a family of 4..
A couple their 15 year son and 85 year old father.

Dinner was setup my the lady of the house.

She took out a set of nice expensive glassware for the dinner.

Severed everyone except the 85 year old father .

It was fathers turn to be served now.

She went inside the kitchen got couple of wooden crooked dishes and served him in the same.

When their son asked the reason.

She explained " He is old. His hand shivers a lot. Glassware is too expensive item for him."

The son didn't question back.

Late that night she found her son making something out of the waste log of wood.

She asked him about it.

His answer was breath taking and mind changing for any human.

He said "I am making wooden plates for you . So that we don't fall short of them"

She realised and went into tears.

The second tale was about ...
A mother sent to an old age home by his young son.

He rarely visited her.

She was in her final stages.

Her son came for a final visit.

He asked her for her last wish.

She replied " please donate some fans in the old age home and if you can please install them too."

Son wondering " Why are you asking fans now? You won't be able to use them."

Mom replied with a kind tone " I was able to bear without fans all my life but when your son sends you here you won't be able to take the heat."

The son was shattered and realised what a big sin he did.

These are some stories which very mildly describe about elder abuse.

I have seen worse.

Wife treating their in-laws as some kind of slaves.

I am getting depressed even while writing this .
How can someone treat their parents like this.

I find such people mentally unstable.

A man wisely said to his young son.
" I am holding your hand now that you need me.
But don't forget to hold mine when I need you."

This topic has not been in picture for a long time now.
With feminist issues,child labour etc now is the time we open up our eyes and start acting wisely against elder abuse.

So this 15th June is the world elder abuse awareness day .

#stopelderabuse

A great end or A new beginning?

Finally its over!!!
After Four years of great struggle its done!
No one can take it back from me!

Yeah... I too graduated as an IT engineer today!

Today was the last exam of my final year of engineering.

During the exam I had to answer 12 questions .

You could literally see from number 12 struck down to number 1.

As we have a new years countdown.

Those attempted questions were like a new life* countdown for me.

As soon as I finished answering the last answer , I stroked down number 1 and made it to "BE IT engineer" !

That awesome feeling when you overcome a milestone after facing and tackling hundreds of hurdles is amazing!

There were 15mins still left for the bell to ring and I started having flashbacks about the college days that I enjoyed.

Most people have one graduation college but I have the pleasure of having two.

I still remember the first days of both my colleges.

But then a thought crossed my mind.

Are the days of fun and rejoice all over?

Now I too will have to start taking responsibilities .

Now I too will have to start taking life seriously.

All the night outs with friends ,those Xbox games  ,all over.

The thought of a monotonous life with a nine to five job started to haunt me.

All of u sudden the examiner said "you can leave now"

Which sounded to me as if she is trying to say "you can finally leave the college and start with your boring life"

Now am thinking ...who knows the new life might not be that boring.

People around me are just over exaggerating.

Like they said when I entered engineering "Engineering bohot tough hai"

But I will surely miss my college days and the friends that I made there.

Hoping for the best for everyone's future ...
Signing off
For the first time

My Most Memorable Day #Together

Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever.

As described in my earlier post my relationship with my grandmother is not a usual one.

Having a single dad I was bound to lack motherly feelings, but my granny never let that happen.

I consider my granny as my mother itself.

It was some years back, she started feeling a little sick. Had constant fever. Gradual rise and fall in temperatures.

Didn’t gave a much thought and got an appointment to a doctor who practiced just nearby.

He gave her the regular medicines and we returned back home.

But her health didn’t change.

I clearly remember an incident which happened.

My granny was in the bathroom brushing her teeth I was in the room next to it.

The door of the bathroom was a bit open.

I saw her getting all dizzy.

I ran to hold her, as soon as I held her she fainted in my hands.

I was just 15 at that time. I screamed for my brother to call the doctor immediately.

We got her admitted in the hospital where the doctor took some tests.

The results showed positive for dengue.

And the doctor right in front of me told my dad that the WBC count is lower than 7000 (for which I googled a normal person has WBC count in millions).

The doctor said that things are not in his hands completely.

His words were “chances of survival are too low”.

Listening to him saying these , I was devastated.

I got into instant tears.

All the memories started to flash right in front of my eyes.

The ward boy standing next to me said “Yeh rone ka waqt nhi hai beta,jaake blood bank main B-ve ka inquiry karo”

(translation – its not the time to cry ,go and inqure for a B-ve type of blodd in a blodd bank”

So my brother started visiting blood banks at 8 pm.

And I was trying to find a donor amongst my friend and family.

It was God’s blessing or mere luck don’t know but a person in his twenties called me saying he was a 

B negative type of blood group and he got my number from one of my school friend.

Gasping in tears I told him to come at the hospital as soon as possible.

He reached within 10 minutes a later got to know that he was already on his way when he called.

The doctor did his job by transfusing the new WBCs form the donor to my grandmother, now all we could do is pray.

Didn’t sleep at night was just waiting for doctors report.

Next morning the doctor rushed in early and hugged me tight saying “there is nothing to worry, she will recover her health in few days till then she needs rest and good diet”.

I was so relived at that moment of time. And happy tears started rolling all over my face.

She is now fit and fine.

I really needed to #StartANewLife

You don't get to see life changing moments very often but...

Getting over your ex is not so easy especially for an extremely emotional guy like me.

As mentioned in my earlier posts. I had this girl in my life. We dated for more than two and a half years.

Things were going smooth.

But as we say too much happiness brings a lot of sorrow, my family didn’t approve of her sounder extreme pressure I had to break up with her.

At this point I know I look like the douche bag here.

But I thought that we would be really god friends as we had a really good understanding between us.

Now eight months have passed and it is finally her birthday.

She invites one of my closest friends but not me. I understand she must have done it to avoid the awkwardness.

However I wish her “happy birthday”.

And the reply I get is a “ty”.

Not even a complete “thank you”, just a tiny little “ty”.

Here is the thing. When we were dating she had told me once “people I don’t care about or are just acquaintance, I reply them in the shortest way possible”.

So all I did was ask her “Don’t you have even slightest soft corner in your heart for me?"

And I get this huge message with all the hidden grudges and a lot more of attitude.

All these months I was under the impression that we are friends and don’t have no grudges about each other.

I was very calm and was trying to find a slightest bit of compassion left for me inside her.

Our conversation went on for hours. It reached to a point where she almost said it.

Those three golden word that no one wants to go through “I hate you”

And I was still wondering what did I do so ugly to take this from her.

And when she finally said “I don’t care, you don’t even exist in my life anymore”, that was it.

I was devastated at this point.

A girl who once said she won’t quit supporting me what so ever happens doesn’t have a slightest amount of love left for me?

It was a turning point in my life.

Finally understood and learnt my lesson .

Never ever expect much from anyone.

I felt like I finally got some closure.

I never had no hatred in my heart for her and will never have, I just can’t. But for sure this conversation has helped me to move on in life and start a new life .

Speaking of getting a new life here is the latest commercial from housing.com

The people I Look up to!

The word optimism recalls me of a rhythmic story. A story of this girl molly

Molly was a happy monkey almost every day.

She had a happy attitude. She had a pleasant way.

She didn't let the little things in life make her upset,

And things that got her down, she found quite easy to forget.

But one day her luck changed, and it seemed everything went wrong.

She tried to keep her smile, but she just wasn't quite that strong.

She thought things would get better, but they kept on getting worse.

It seemed the life she knew had just been thrown into reverse.

Her favorite friend at school was gone. She had to move away.

And making matters worse, she lost her bracelet that same day.

Molly forgot her homework, and she couldn't turn it in. 

Then after school, she missed the bus. It seemed she couldn't win.

As Molly walked home from her school, she couldn't help but cry.

So much was going wrong and she could not understand why.

The next day was a bad day too, and Molly missed her friend.

She wondered if her awful luck was ever going to end.

She tripped and ripped her skirt in front of everyone at school.

The kids all laughed and pointed, making her feel like a fool.

She got a drop of ketchup from her burger on her shirt.

And at the water fountain she got soaked with a big squirt!

So many bad things happened, Molly almost cried once more,

but something odd occurred to her that she could not ignore.

The bad things that were happening weren't really all that bad.

They just seemed so much worse because she let herself feel sad.

When she saw just the bad things, life made her feel very blue.

It wasn't just her luck that changed, her attitude changed too.

An optimistic attitude can make a better day,

so Molly changed her outlook and her sadness went away.

She laughed at all that happened and her smile came right back.

And things seemed pretty good again. Her life was back on track.

Her happiness brought her new friends who loved her pleasant cheer.

She learned to laugh when things went wrong. That gave her less to fear.

She let go of the little things, just as she used to do.

And even when things went wrong, she was happy through and through.

Her life was much more pleasant, but it wasn't life that changed.

It only was her attitude, that Molly rearranged.

She saw the good in life and found that life was to enjoy.

A little optimism brings the world a lot of joy.

-by Wes Fessler

So as the moral says,never to lose hope.

I personally think you haven't lost your battle unless you yourself accept your defeat.

And accepting defeat is losing every last inch of hope to succeed.

I dont know whether i am politically correct or not but according to me in this world the biggest example of an optimistic person is Adolf Hitler.

As we all know after the First World War Germany was at its back at the wall in every aspect of their society.

Leading such a country (though I DONT like his approach) needs next level of admiration and determination to work hard for your country.

Determination rises only with a rise in HOPE!

You can never learn anything from a success story, if you want to learn something listen to their failure stories.

Another great example of an optimistic person is Thomas Edison.

Thomas Edison failed for more than a thousand times after which he finally found the correct element for the bulb.

"I have not failed. I've just found 1000 ways that won't work."

Thomas A. Edison

Trying for thousand times needs sheer love and true determination for your work.

And who can forget our father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi.

Great people have reached to their heights by their determination and hard work.

And the key factor to add to their strength to keep them going was OPTIMISM.

Bring Back the Touch

Everyone says love between two partners fade after certain amount of time.It doesn't matter ,even if you had felt "she is the one" ,the relationship often turns to boredom after a while.

In India this is seen the most.

The boredom is caused because of routine lifestyle that is the same job , the same food, the same talks “how was work” gets boring enough to rift the lovers apart.

A couple is married for seven or eight years . 

They get bored of each other (by bored I mean the love between them fades gradually) and which results into extra marital affairs.
