Khulla Panga

By Utsav Singhal

Starring: Darsheel Safary, Aamir Khan
Produced and directed by Aamir Khan

The seemingly endless wait is over. The perfectionist superstar is back with his directorial debut after a wait of 18 months since Fanaa and the real KING of the jungle has made his mark.

Ehsaan Awasthi (Darsheel) is just another kid around, caught in the puzzle of bde9pqrstuvwxyz yet shining in his own world, only to find himself isolated at the end of the day. He stands tall even as he sees his brother outrun others and others outrun him by miles. At the back of his mind, in this world, lies a canvas ready to be painted with fearless thoughts, seen by his parents as some useless crap.

Unable to withstand this crap, his parents send him off to a boarding school which only worsens the situation. Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir) takes charge as the new art teacher only to notice the so far unnoticed potential of the boy and helps him in unleashing it.

Darsheel was handpicked by Aamir’s production house from amongst 5000 kids from across the nation and later by Aamir himself from the final 25 of them. Surely this masterpiece deserves 5 stars as it surely is a shining jewel in the crown of the superstar. HATS OFF……….

Shiney Ahuja is an NRI who returns to India to complete a business project along with his wife (Vidya Balan). Along the shores of Banaras stays his family which has (read had) been ruling the city since long. The newly married couple decides to live in the royal Haveli which was once abandoned after it was “haunted” by spirit of a dancer which lead to a series of tragic events thereafter.

Without the knowledge of the whole family, Vidya Balan unlocks the haunted room, thereby “freeing” the spirit. A series of accidents and mishaps takes place. Acharya Yagya Prakash who stopped the spirit the last time is away and no respite is in sight. As things get out of hand, Shiney Ahuja calls for Akshay Kumar, his friend and a famous psychiatrist, to crack the code.

After Parineeta and Lage Raho Munnabhai this has been another STUNNING performance by Vidya Balan. Hats off to the dances and music (by Pritam). The film loses a bit on “sense of humor” front unlike previous Priyadarshan flicks but in no case it deserves less than 3 stars.With an edge-of-the-seat climax, this family flick is a must see for every die hard fan of Akshay Kumar - Rajpal Yadav - Paresh Rawal - Priyadarshan Masala (AKA bhagam bhag / garam Masala)

I had a meeting with a client today at Galaxy hotel in Sector 15 Gurgaon near to me house. The good thing is that I never new that I had suck a beautiful restaurant nearby with good food too. The bad thing is that it’s one of the costliest in my experience. Three glasses of juice, 2 coffees a grilled sandwitch and a corn pakoda costed me approx 1700 bucks. This is damn costly. I could have visited the 32nd milestone which belongs to the same owner (I think) and is comparatively much cheaper.

Just visited the Toyota Showroom in Gurgaon at the IDC Gurgaon coz I was looking for some accessories for the Innova. I ‘v got the list and prices of the stuff that I was looking for :
A Rear View Mirror (chrome) : Rs. 4500/-
A pair of fog lamps : Rs. 8000/-
A Pair of footrest : Rs. 6000/-

Damn costly… I got all that from outside dealer in Rs. 5000/-. What the hell!!!

As Delhi metro is progressing with their speedy work on in Gurgaon. More and more people are criticizing the fact that the Delhi Metro is above the ground. People says that it should be made underground as done in Chandni Chowk, New Delhi Station, Chawri Bazaar line. Well taking about the cost, it is almost double in the underground project but it’s a one time investment.

I personally feel that after facing 5 minor earthquakes in Gurgaon the last 7 years. We don’t know when we may face it again and the probability of surviving in an object which is 80 feets under the ground is almost 0 (zero) in that case. Not only the passengers who will be traveling, but also those who will be present in the underground station will not survive in that case. If you are above the ground you have some option to survive at least.

I liked the design of the mall. Almost same as the Metropolitan Mall but much cleaner a less crowded, has a better atrium space and better brands than Metropolitan. As soon as you enter the mall, you have most of the sports brands (nike, reebok etc.) at your left. At the right you have CTC Plaza, Archies and other nice showrooms. Other brands like Yatra.com, bibs and cribs, a mobile store by future group, food court are there. At the week ends you can enjoy live music by some band.

Well strategic location and very near to the Ambi Mall at the Delhi Gurgaon Border, just opposite to Udyog vihar. There is news in the real estate market the Bharti Walmart Retail venture has planned to take the complete mall (or maybe a large part of it) for their massive retail store.

So the 1 Km of shopping mall is taking is in final stages of completion and now brands like Reliance Retail, Big Bazaar, Reliance Trendz, Debenhams and visible in the mall. The company “Ambience” developer has developed something which takes care of your shopping as well as your health. Just move to the mall and take a too and fro round of each floor, I hope you will move 10 km in that.

Just visited the Pizza Hut that we regularly do at the Bestech Centre Point in Gurgaon, they have added much better stuff in the menu than before. Now you have mushroom soup, which I had and its yummmmmy. I love Masala lemonade so could not miss that. Mom tried a pasta dish which was nice and now you have a Garlic Bread Platter which has 2 pieces each of 3 different variety of Garlic Breads. New Pizzas are added which I could not try in a single day. Will have to visit 5 – 7 time more to try all the new dishes.

Well while our visit to Chokhi Dhani Resort, we have tried the CNG kit in our new Jaguar. I got an average of 96 Paisay per KM. Performance is almost the same as petrol coz I managed to run it at 135 Kmph. This is good man…. but the worst part was that we could not find a CNG outlet at Jaipur. Rajasthan has only LPG stations. Overall the nice trip and a great value for money, at least you are driving a luxury car at the running cost of a bike.
