I don’t generally write movie reviews on my blog and neither I am a movie buff but I couldn’t resist writing this review. We went to see Lage raho munna bhai but as the tickets were sold out we thought of ‘entertaining’ with a movie called Naksha. And we had a cracker of time, if not less as compared to munna bhai. The reasons, well many-
1.) Engineering lesson- If you are caught somewhere and in desperate need to direction then do the following- look for a piece of metal (like hair clip of your gf or you have to first find a girl with a hair pin because nothing can substitute a hair pin…you know it can also be used to open locks). Having found one, now you need to rub it so as to excite the electrons near the surface and then miraculously the electron and protons align themselves in such a way that they form a dipole and you can use that as a magnet! Ok now the task is to let it freely align itself. For that you need to select a leaf which can easily be rotated my the metal piece. Place the metal piece on the leaf and the whole assembly on water (stagnant water please!) and it will point towards the North Pole. Well if you are wondering which side will be the north pole as the metal might have symmetric ends then you better ask Sunny Deol. Sorry its out of the scope of my mind.
2.) Geographical lesson- In Haryana you can find dense forests with such lavish greenery that can put Africa to shame. You also find nomads there, Lilliputian to be precise. There is one short-cut from Haryana to Himalayas which is a deadly river but you can reach Himalayas in few hours. I wonder why the heroes took the heroine with them, she just entertained them with shrieks and also put their swimming ability to test. They infact survived every obstacles only to later find out that the villain was smarter than them, he took the road!
3.) The heroin’s snorting was severe that kept both the heroes awake! Finally they found out a solution, they found a v shaped piece of wood and placed it so as to clip her nose. But unfortunately it didn’t hold on for long.
4.) The girl who is introduced as an inhabitant of the jungle and an acquaint with every corner of the jungle is more modern in her dressing sense than any Mumbai girl. I wonder where did she find got that (nearly-no) dress from. It was definitely not made of lion skin and her sex appeal couldn’t even sooth the villain. Finally this jungli lady is overpowered my the feeble urbane heroine!
5.) The agility that Sunny Deol shows while cutting the ropes that try to thrall Vivek oberoi is awesome. We had a heartful of laughter at that. It was like khach..khach..khach and thats it! all the divide ropes were cut in a flash of eye lid!.
6.) Finally the movie ends on a happy note but the problem is that the Kawatch still exists on earth (now beneath it) so chances that Naksha 2 is released is high.
In all a great timepass, not because the director made it that way but its becuse we saw it that way. Full paisa vasool!

Hehe! The bit about Haryana was funny… I love it when they stretch reality – it’s quite amusing
I haven’t seen either film yet..I’m soooo behind – it takes me years to catch up. I’m not very good at sitting still either…

Stallone’s Law states that (when guns are involved, usually) 1 man has better chances of killing 20 men than 20 men killing 1. This is for Hollywood & you can expect better from Bollywood. Jhakaas!!!
