Kartik Calling Kartik

Farhan Akhtar movies are always looked forward to as he is experimental yet sleek. KCK also did justice to the perception that farhan enjoys. While the reviews are not very good but i felt that it was quite a good attempt by Farhan although nothing in comparison to his earlier movies. If movies are about script, screenplay, editing, pace, production qualities and performances. It did justice in all departments than one i.e. Script. It could have been better had the movie would have been liitle more speedy as it comes out to be rather dark and slow and probably a viewer with a commercial bent of mind will not like it or recommend it but for people like me who likes experimentation would love it. I believe farhan's experimentation with scripts, execution is commendable and provided the standards he has set for himself this was not the best product but definitely still much better than the crap that comes out in general. Overall i guess may nt be a commercial success but will still ap...

Up in The Air

Saw 'Up In The Air', with this have seen 3 of the many OScar nominations till date hv gt a long list to complete...Hvn't been able to see MNIK yet as the movie released late in Navi Mumbai and tkts were nt available whn i wtd them...same in Pune...Its a short sweet story of a guy who believed in being lonely and non committed and works in a company which deals with employee seperation...he is always in the air travelling places on work and giving speeches to people on why committments in life r nt good....however his beliefs are tested one day and thats when he understands the importance of family values....being an Indian and having seen many movies (some of them good) on family values...i found it to be a good watch but not really an oscar material....may be the movie may nt get many Oscars bt the fact tht it has been nominated for 6 oscars is wondering me...The only reason could be for the US/European audience (and also the jury) this is a novel idea and hence very good ...

District 9

Wanted to watch so many movies but couldn't catch up on any Striker/Road To Sangam/MNIK...But hectic travelling is not allowing me...So i decided to switch back to my best friend i.e. my DVD and saw a movie which is nominated for Oscars this year i.e. District 9.... U know every time i watch a movie i evaluate it frm the perspective how well it transports you to the world the movie is set it...Some movies do it extremely well and thats why u r engrossed...Sm movies go a step further that it lingers in ur mind even after u watch it...District 9 is one such movie...With a completely alien script about alien...Its a very difficult job to engross people but the way the movie has been made...the idea...the execution style and very uncanny realistic performances is what makes the movie quite a watch...nothing great in production values in terms of scale but the movie is a piece of creative imagination....i just loved it...In fact its more like a documentary than a movie but i guess this ...

Competitive Pressures In International Business

When the Auto Companies across the World specially in Europe & USA are still trying to come to terms after the recession....a breath of good news came to them in the form of 'Few Brakes Problem In One of the Toyota Models'....Watch out BBC/CNN its being presented as one of headline news...The American & European policy makers/politicians are taking keen interest in the braking effect and showing extreme concern about the safety of their citizens who are driving Toyota....While by logic its completely fine...But what i sense that the matter has been blown over the head not only due to the problems that very few of Toyota models has come across but also because of a huge Internation Pressure that the european and american government has brought on table to highlight the issue and take some advantage by taking some shine of the proud Jap Car maker...Look at the way it has hurt Toyota they are talking abt calling back more than 2 million cars but what they must be worried a...
