…::::The Vada Pav Chronicle::::::……

If this movie becomes India’s entry to the Oscars its sure going to win in the foreign film category because its the most boring movie I have seen.

When I went to book the tickets for this much awaited Mohanlal movie all I knew was that it was an inspiration of Henrik Ibsen’s work Master Builder. That was the first time I ever heard that name. Anyways that’s my knowledge of theater, it sucks big time.

Probably I’am too dumb to understand such high funda movie, gimme a masala movie any day any language and I can lap it up, but boy of boy this was too hard on the brain. You want to leave the theatre but then realise that you paid 150 bucks for this so hang on probably Mohanlal would turn around.

The flow of the movie is more like a drama and thats where people get bored. Everyone in the movie hall had the WTF WAS THAT expression after the movie ended.The cinematography was good. The way they have captured British countryside was really good. Mohanlal plays an egostical architect who just cant let go of things because he’s afraid that the younger generation would take it all away. Well the orginal was written in 1892 which shows that this kind of insecurity is evergreen.

Watch it if you really like parallel cinema i.e. movies which the common man can never understand BTW this one has got English subtitles.

Was in two minds for all these days whether to register for the Mumbai marathon.

Saw this sideshow today and then picked up my credit card and registered online.

Registered my self for the full marathon the 42 kms run.

I got 5 months to train myself, I jog for a 5 kms at least thrice a week now expecting to improve it in the days to come.

I have got another reason to jog daily.

I have never ran such a long distance nor pushed my body to such an extent but there’s always a first time.

Anyone in Navi Mumbai and want to train together do leave a comment.

People interested in registering online can do it here.
