Katti Batti - 2015 - Review

It's a patient watch and a nice serious different film though predictable here there and in climax the same old airport scene. But still lots of freshness infused by its intelligent script written by Anshul Singhal and Nikhil Advani. Kangna Ranaut is great as usual, and Imran Khan plays his character well. Supporting actors do a fabulous job , songs are good too. If you like spicy pot-boilers this movie is not for you, if you want to see a film on intricacies of relationship ,go for it.

It is ably directed by Nikhil Advani who started his career with Sharukh Khan's "Kal Ho Na Ho" and Shahrukh is replaced by Kangna as the dying sick person.

It has a unique song "Lip to Lip" which is first song in India where stop motion technology has been used. Kangana and Imran have reportedly kissed each other for 24 hours over a period of three days in order to get the right frame for the song.

Hilarious pre-climax scene have been shot on location in Dholka, Gujarat.

Aamir Khan has edited this movie in a small way when on his advice few dialogues in English were tweaked to Hindi so masses could understand the film better.

Narendra Modi has dreams for our Nation, Sonia Gandhi for her son

Sonia Gandhi today said of Narendra Modi that his promises were mere "Hawabaazi" , and just one year has passed and respected Congress president wants all promises made in election rallies to be fulfilled. Shouldn't she take blame as Monsoon session ended without any work courtesy disruption by her party on her direction. Why are people so upset with her and rejected her because her credibility took a dip when she let her party-men and government indulge in corruption. When she did nothing as C.W.G. scam went on, nothing on her son-in-law Robert Vadra nor continuing of Rahul Gandhi who is to be squarely blamed for political debacle . Sonia Gandhi rose in esteem when she gave up power and let Manmohan Singh become P.M. .But since last six years she has failed to deliver ,may be because of her 'secret illness' . A strong opposition is a must for healthy democracy and its really sad that a weak inefficient leader like Rahul Gandhi is at the helm of affairs not because of any quality but just because of his parentage.

In Narendra Modi we have got a strong P.M. and despite political compulsions and vote-bank politics there is still hope that Indian Dream would come true, and we will become a developed, strong and progressive Nation.
