King of good times is....Dinged

Kingfisher started its operations in the year 2005, this was the time when I just started working and  flying was a dream for me [Read this post].

KF was the premium airline, and I used to yearn to fly by KF [company sponsored flight travels :p] As per our Company policy, one was supposed to inform the preferred time of journey to the travel team and depending on that the cheapest flight was booked. I used to check out the KF flight timings and ensure that there was no other cheaper flight around and inform that to our travel people :)



It was the only airline then in India, which used to offer in-flight entertainment, in-flight phone service, on-screen demo[ by Yana Gupta] etc. With all that glamor it was the most sought out airline, atleast for free riders like me :P. It was well known for its air-hostesses draped in the red-colored tight dresses..making them hotter..

KF boasts of being awarded the best airline in Asia Pacific and blah blah..etc. From that heights of success it nosedived and crash landed...becoming almost extinct
 ..all that happened in a span of 7 years...


The ticket counters are closed at all airports and the online bookings are suspended [ Chek Website ]

There's a JOKE doing the rounds on the internet which goes like this "Kingfisher birds are evaluating the possibility of a class-action suit against flamboyant Indian businessman Vijay Mallya, for spoiling their name and reputation"

So what exactly went wrong with KF??

Movie marathon

My 3rd weekend in Doha just got over. So far it has been a movie festival for me.
I watched 3 tamil ,2 hindi and 1 telugu movie
The following are those,in the order I liked them.

Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu (Tamil)     Rating: 5/5

As the title suggests, it's a movie centering on Kabaddi. Has mild similarities with Lagaan and Chak de India where the underdogs team end up becoming superstars. I loved this movie. The story, the characters and the whole setup was very realistic and natural, unlike many of the telugu commercial movies. It's a touching story.

The actress Saranya Mohan is very pretty in this movie.

Amrit (Hindi) Rating: 4.5/5

It's a Rajesh Khanna movie. It was screened on Zee Aflan. As expected a sentimental and moving story. I liked the story and the way it was made.





Raajneeti (Hindi) Rating: 4/5

As some one said it is indeed a mahabharata in 2.5hrs. It was like watching mahabharata in fast forward mode. It's not a bad flick and I can recommend this movie to others. It's all about political strategies.





Vasool Raja MBBS (Tamil) Rating: 3/5

I've watched Munnabhai MBBS in hindi and Shankardada MBBS in telugu. This movie is not that good when compared to the other versions. Kamal doesnt seem to miss any chance of exposing his biceps. Every alternate scene you see him flexing it.
But I am a big fan of Kamal Hassan, he is one complete actor. Sadly none of his recent movies are my favorites.



Yaaradi Nee Mohini (Tamil) Rating: 1/5

It's a remake of the telugu movie "Aadavari Matalaku Ardhaale Verule". The telugu movie is much better than the tamil version. Danush was definitely a wrong pick for the lead role. Wonder how can people digest the fight stunts of this boney guy.




Don Seenu (Telugu) Rating: 0/5

Worst of all movies I watched this weekend. The story is so pathetic, wonder how can some one think doing such movies. It was supposed to be a comedy movie, but no scene was worth a laugh. Throughout the movie..it just gets worse as u go on watching it...making you throw up at the climax.


Next am going to watch
Madrasapattinam (Tamil)

Thaa naanaa thana nanna naaa

I saw three really bad movies this night. And the worst part was that all of them were back to back!

12:00 am

1) Chandni Chowk to China..

How can actors like akshay accept to do such highly illogical movies. After having acted for so many years cant they imagine what the audience would undergo while watching this kind of movie. 

The songs are really sad. There is no funny incident in the movie. Just cos Mithunda acted they tried to portray him as bigger hero. This movie should be rated as a B grade movie.

I know that bollywood and logic never go together so then decided to watch an english movie.

2:00 am

2)18 Year Old Virgin..

In simple words, It's about a girl who wanted to get laid by anyone in a party. It's supposed to be a comedy movie but there is no scene in the movie which is worth mentioning as a funny scene. This was another boring movie.

3:00 am

3) Keka (Tolly wood movie)

I wasnt feeling sleepy so wanted to check out this movie. Gave up on bollywood and Hollywood so selected this new Tollywood flick. This one was worse than the first 2. I felt so pathetic after watching this movie that I felt like throwing up

I've decided that atleast for the next one month I'll not watch any movie.

I made a mistake, I should have checked the reviews before watching the movies.

Now I'll continue watching Malgudi days,which I downloaded today afternoon. I think this one is hazaaaaaaaaaaaar times better than all those shitty movies I watched.
